I wonder if this is truly a widespread issue. I've been using Karmic daily since the beta was released a few weeks ago, upgrading its packages to the official release, and I haven't encountered any issues yet. Has anyone here had any of the

The only reason I use checks is to pay my rent. I live in the second floor of a two-story house, where the landlord lives downstairs. He doesn't own any other property, so I'm his only tenant, and he has no electronic methods of receiving m

Try telling that to the bus driver who almost ran me over this morning when he was trying to beat a red light.

Finally someone did a little research on this topic. I don't know why this topic is that big of a deal anyway. I know that when I was between the ages of 12 and 17, my attention would be all over the place. If Twitter existed back then, I p

I bet if everyone thinks long enough, they can come up with enough reasons why their city / state / country is great for startups. While I do believe that location plays a large enough part in the life of a startup, once the product is up a

Being a New Yorker who wants to do the exact same thing that Zed is doing now (not because he's doing it, of course), it does interest me somewhat.

This past May I was on vacation in Orlando, Florida, and while visiting Sea World, some Google employees were capturing the attractions inside the park using this type of bike.

Does it really need one? It really doesn't. If there were one, the average user of this operating system wouldn't probably even know its existence.

So am I. But this quote from the post is pretty self-explanatory: "One of the mantras that his karate school follows is: Never start a fight, but if a fight starts, always be the one to finish it. And that's what he'll be able to do."

This article is from October 2006. However, I've been living in NYC for a year and a half, and most of the article (and comments) still resonate almost three years later.

The article doesn't say that this is new. It simply specifies how easy it is to deploy Rails apps on Passenger.

The book "Founders At Work" is a pretty good read, if you're interested in these questions. http://www.foundersatwork.com/

I surely can't speak for him, but I can offer my own experiences. I was born in Chicago, but moved to Puerto Rico when I was a kid and lived there for 20 years. Puerto Rico is much, much cheaper than anywhere in the United States (My rent f

The main draw of the Pickaxe book is that it's the only book out there that includes the complete reference for Ruby and all the new features introduced in Ruby 1.9. While the book isn't a straight walk-through of the language, and lacks so

A lot of people nowadays are moving to Git ( http://git-scm.com/ ). Although to be honest, I'm not sure if Git would be a good fit in a Windows development environment.

I would agree that most Facebook users are more active nowadays after the stream redesign. It's funny, because when the redesign went live, about 90% of my friends where bitching about how they 'hated' the new design. Now they're the most a

I think Facebook is safe, since nothing can truly dumb you down more than MySpace pages and the comments on any YouTube video.

This post is pretty informative. I also wanted to point out that Gregg Pollack and New Relic have been putting up videos in a 13-part series on the topic of scaling Rails. http://railslab.newrelic.com/ Although the videos offer this infor

Gmail is relatively new compared to those other services you mention, which have been operating for years before Gmail started in 2004. As the article mentions, Gmail use is on the rise, and expected to overtake Hotmail's lead.

I'm getting very confused as to whether coffee (and caffeine, for that matter) is good for you or not. Today I see this article, saying that it'll keep dementia away; A week down the road, I'll find an article that says that coffee causes c

I came to Hacker News and completely stopped visiting other news sites because of retarded posts being voted up elsewhere. I really hope that trend doesn't start here, as well.

This would've been damn cool - If we were still in the year 2000 or so, when XML was all the rage. I'm sure people will find lots of uses for this, though.

To me, this is just a poor decision made hastily by a single student who apparently wasn't patient enough to sort out some computer issues. I think there are different options to consider - Asking for help at a computer lab at the college (

A few months ago I convinced my team to start to use 37signals' Campfire to be able to communicate with each other, especially when someone was away from the office. It worked great for the first week, then after that people gradually start

I'm a huge fan of 37signals, their products and their philosophy, but not to the point that I blindly follow their 'Getting Real' philosophy like a lot of people seem to do. I have followed and applied some of their ideas - some worked like
