A typical forum windbag full of "what you should have done" advice for an incident at which they were not present and have never experienced. If you were at home with your family and 6 armed men turned up at your house, you'd

If this great firewall of Cameron goes ahead (and I really don't think it will) I wouldn't be surprised if they distinguish between domestic and business customers. Business customers will be left to sort themselves to ensure comp

So some outfit called Strategy Analytics, who no one has ever heard of, (but who will no doubt turn out to have Samsung as a shareholder or customer) says that their estimates of Samsung's profits exceeds their estimates of Apple'

Please don't let HN become a substitute for RTFM. This should be known by all SSH users who have skimmed the man page. Fair enough as a blog post but for this trivia to get 46 points so far is deeply depressing. Maybe I should write a

A door handle is a universally recognised dual purpose control, and always works whichever way the door opens. A push plate does not do this. What are they supposed to do, remove them when doors become temporarily uni-directional? The fact

Don't be so sanctimonious. Calling an experiment involving gravity "down to earth" is mildly amusing and is kind of a pun, albeit a feeble one. Much like your sense of humour it would appear.
