While I think he has a legitimate complaint, he would probably be taken more seriously if he didn't sound so much like a 12 year old.

Personally, I'd prefer to be able to use JS instead of Flash for everything in a RIA, including games. There's just the one thing, though. Sockets. I can't push to clients using JS, which sucks. Polling just feels wasteful to me. Oh, I know

Ok this is a not-so-serious solution Chris Rock proposed to the problem. Potentially NSFW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8PQDoZXSo

Huh. I almost find this piece more offensive than the presentation itself. Why can't he just say "I was wrong" and be done with it?

Ah. My apologies. That was rather inconsistent of him.

You're not offended enough to call the OP an idiot? Flagging or downvoting is one thing, but personal insults are, well, personal. Anyway, apparently even PG thinks that sometimes driving a lot of people away from HN may not necessarily suc

See if you still discern stereograms. In fact, try it before and after the acid and see if there are any differences, like how fast you see the hidden image, etc. Good luck.

we stand to lose not only Cisco as an ally, but any corporation that estimates (rightly or wrongly) that their own potential exposure to an SFLC lawsuit might be greater than their potential efficiency gains from open-sourcing. Why should

Capital punishment for possession, you mean? I think that's a little extreme, even though I am Singaporean.

Well, if we really must... The definition merely states that material is pornographic if its primary purpose is to appeal to the erotic instincts, without mentioning that it actually has to succeed . It can be easily shown that this is a

It's not a question of being prudes. The definition of pornography is "sexually explicit pictures, writing or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal". I think we can all agree that Playboy fits that definition. Henc

Out of curiosity, what was the root cause of the fear? Getting downvoted?

Personally, where humorous posts are concerned, I upvote those that also have content (regardless of whether it is actually funny), leave alone those that are funny without content, and downvote those that do not have content and aren't fun

While passion will not necessarily be at odds with utility, it seems from the "About" section that this book is all about utility: Deliberately choosing what skills to develop in order to be able to "market" and "sell" them more effective

I haven't done much development in Java since my days in college, but... However, I really think that increasing speed of development with better tools is a cornerstone of being one of those elite programmers, and vim<<eclipse, at

Something I learned in academia: there are three kinds of academic reviews: review by name, review by reference and review by value. From one of the comments. Joke aside (and it is a good joke), is this true?

Doesn't the fact that he got downvoted sort of prove his point that writing arrogantly is offensive?

I exercise thrice a week, on average. Twice are chin-ups, sit-ups and push-ups followed by a run. The other is basketball.

I did. The interesting thing was that I'd been a Computer Engineering student for about 2 years and hadn't really developed a passion for coding until some guy was being a jerk in IRC because he was good at playing trivia quizzes. I decided

I agree. I can recall a time when I thought I would never need a hard disk bigger than 20GB and went "meh" when 40GB hard disks came out. upgrading from an iPod that stores your entire music collection to one that can store your collection

Not necessarily. Or rather, this works more for males than females. As Eddie Murphy once put it succinctly, "But you gotta be beautiful too. I don't want no funny, ugly bitch," or something like that. I find that appearances usually matter
