Love the interface, but just sports? Concerts and other events would be spectacular (though I'm assuming those are already in the plans for he future). Also, what about allowing users to sell their own tickets? I have a PAX badge that I won

I completely sympathize with Mark. I was an Apple hater for years, and was ecstatic when I discovered Linux (Ubuntu 7.04) and could move away from Windows as well. Then a good friend of mine convinced me to get an iPhone. I was hesitant at

As was I. Y'know, I didn't even realize there was a bubble until after it had burst. I spent my time teaching myself HTML and toying around with Photoshop 6. I also did an insignificant amount of PHP around 2001 -- mostly tweaking existing

I use Komodo Edit, and I love it. It has everything I need, is customizable, and was recently Open Sourced. I would be hard pressed to switch to something else.

My daughter won't be arriving until around the 19th, so I don't get to celebrate this year. :(

The rampant down-modding for differing political views on this thread (which has no business being on Hacker News in the first place) is ridiculous.

I was about to say, word for word, the exact same thing. Had it typed out and everything. Then I had to check on dinner, came back, and got the unknown/expired link error. Needles to say, I'm in agreement.

http://planet.python.org/ is pretty much all you need, plus project-specific feeds such as http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/ http://www.learningpython.com/ and http://thinkhole.org/wp/ are great reads for beginners, but neither o

Looks really nice. Coincidentally, I've been working on something extremely similar the past week, though my project has a twist that I think Twitterers are going to enjoy. I'm going out of town for a few days, but hopefully I'll be able to

Congrats are certainly in order! Sadly, I missed it. I had the video feed playing but, due to the Benadryl I took (our cats are shedding right now and I've been sneezing nonstop for a few days), ended up dozing. I woke to the cheering of th

Yeah, I noticed. I'm tempted to try compiling from source, but chances are I'll end up in a worse hell. Or maybe I'll setup a new debian slice to toy around with.

The best answer you will ever recieve on this question is, "it depends" -- no one can make the right choice for you. It depends on what your experience you have. If you know Python, use Django. If you know Ruby, use Rails. I know Python,

So teach them. Small charities such as that are perfect candidates for Open Source solutions.

$50-100k? I'd for sure quit my current job and live off it for a year while I develop my idea(s). The only problem is, I don't have $50-100k. Or even $5k. (Feel free to help change that! :o)

For my personal stuff, I run Ubuntu 7.10 because Ubuntu was my first experience with Linux (in May '07), and it's what I'm most comfortable with. At work (I work at a startup), we're using CentOS 5 because that's all that (mt) offers.

"Take Down Obligations: What Google Can Do To Hosted App Engine Web Sites" That's seems reasonable to me. If I violate their TOS or in any way act immoral, they have the right to ask me to remove my content from their server. If I refuse to

As someone whos only significant experience is in PHP and Python, I hope I can be of some help. I started with PHP when was 13 or so. When I was about 18, I discovered Python, and haven't looked back since. PHP is designed primarily as a w

Does anyone else have experience with BrainTree? They look good and seem to offer a very robust API (which would make -my- life a heckuva lot easier), but my boss is still leaning towards PayPal due to brand/stability. Also, they talk a lot

This is so extremely old and unworthy of Hacker News. We need a down arrow.

Wow! The third one down, Antonio Diaz (Artifice Studios), is my best friend and God Father of my baby-to-be (found out today I'm having a girl -- Whoo!). Glad to see his work getting some recognition. :)
