Agreed, EGit is not ready for public consumption. Sticking with Tortoise or command line is the only way to make sure you don't end up doing serious damage to your repos. Their biggest problem is their treatment of previous changes and pare

The larger question I'm curious about is how many of these are legitimate DMCA violations vs. the attack on fair-use that HNers have come to expect when this 4-letter word is invoked.

It is still really disappointing that TED never released the Sarah Silverman talk ( http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/15/the-ted-v-sarah-silverman-f... ). Isn't it their purpose to expose the ideas, and ours to contemplate them?

As far as handling filled positions, I think only direct links to job openings should be allowed and the posts should go down when the provided URL 404s. As far as upvoting is concerned, I don't think it should be allowed. Promoting a job i

The flock of people leaving Jobvite for JobScore or Resumator has been truly incredible. I hope they can plug the hole in their dam, because they have a good product, but it is exactly keeping customers like you happy where they seem to be

I don't understand how there is "so much space available helping companies managine their incoming data". There's Resumator, JobVite, JobScore, Taleo, Brassring, OpenCATS, Healthcaresource, MaxHire, Vurv, (I can list 60 more if anyone would

They neglected a format for job listings, which is unfortunate. We (LinkUp) put one together at http://wp.me/pJYG0-1H , it will be interesting to see if it gets any attraction and if they're actually seeking external input.

Another great way is to find a project you use, look at the bug reports, and start fixing them. Go after the small ones, or the fun ones, whatever seems appealing. Odds are that if the bug is still open but not critical, you'll be the first

One of the most rewarding ways I've found to contribute to open source is to connect communities and developers. Like if someone posts a fork on github, put the original developer in contact with them and make sure there's an effort to coll

I've still got my fingers crossed that one of this summer's YC startups is a tl;dr generator:) I do see the irony in mentioning that on a post I submitted, but it could use the love of an editor.

I don't know why JobVite doesn't offer a RSS feed of job openings, but in case anyone is interested we (LinkUp) offer a RSS feed that shows all of Dropbox's jobs - http://bit.ly/dropboxrss . A very good indicator of how cool the coders at

I love the HNDroid app - https://github.com/amir/HNdroid - which is open source and community-driven. For $1.15, I'll download this and compare the two. But I'm certainly biased in favor of improving existing services and apps vs. recreat

It would be interesting if this could aggregate in the data from Salary.com, PayScale.com and Glassdoor.com, to kind of generate the mean/range/etc. Also, integration with the other-recent HN salary tool - http://salaryshare.me/ - would r

There is no way the browser was rewritten "from scratch". If it were rewritten from scratch, the issues that crashed its predecessors (like http://crashie8.com ) would not also crash IE9.

I'm not sure where you get this number from. Given that Windows XP users aren't able to migrate to IE9 without upgrading their OS, I think we'll see the transition from IE<9 -> IE9 to be as slow as IE<7 -> IE7.
