It's called www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com Why would anyone go on hackernews to check if a website is down? That doesn't make much sense, there are so many mechanisms out there to deal with this kind of thing....

The question is, can this be repeated? Junk mail creators haven't necessarily seen this story, they may not know that they are in error. Would some sort of penalty be applied to someone depositing such a check, assuming one received such a

According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy ) which pulls its source for "Life expectancy variation over time" from Encyclopædia Britannica and other sources, life expectancy in the Neolithic was about 20 years old

This is awesome, except for one thing. As with all hybrid kits, you lose trunk space. Unfortunately, if I can't fit my groceries as well as the stroller for my daughter, it's out of the question. Obviously not everyone requires this, but

I really wish people would stop comparing our current 100-year lifespan with pre-historic humans where someone my age (31 years old) would have been considered an elder (if even still alive!). "Fake" meat tastes and looks like the real thin

This sounds very promising. As a vegan, it's pretty hard to find decent alternatives to meat, which I still crave once in a while - I went vegan for health reasons, not ideological ones. This has been getting better with time, but unfortuna

I personally see a lot of news that's been "forgotten" quickly, because I prefer getting the RSS feed rather than relying on the front page of HN. Of course, I get a lot of noise (submissions with only 2 points and no comments) but I still

How do you know it's from a Google search? He doesn't say it is, I don`t see analytics code in his source (just the wordpress stats)... When you "assume" you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me". Who's the ass now?

Misattributed to Bill Gates: "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job, because he will find an easy way to do it". I'm not sure who that's actually from, but the idea behind it is the same. However, one has to remember that

Alright, I'll bite. Yahoo what? com? fr? ca? co.uk? And if you add the TLD, then you're back at square one - a simple regex and you can grab the email easily.

I feel like I should reproduce the comment I put on there, because I'd prefer, by far, to get honest opinions from the HN community than whatever his response will be. So here goes: You seem to have a lot of aggressiveness towards "geeks",

The first one was commissioned in 1912? Sounds like it would have been a great opportunity for Lit to actually release it this year... They won't miss the mark by much, though. No wait, scratch that, just looked up the word "commissioned"..

I'm fairly certain this has been said before, but... What if Apple officially supported installing Mac OS X on a regular PC? I mean, it's already possible to do this ("hackintosh" or "OSx86"), but it requires some mucking around... if Apple

Oh I misread that as "I threated to sue if I didn't hear back in a week". Oops, sorry, my bad. As for trying it myself, I guess it's simply because whenever I get into such a situation, I lose my nerve, butterflies invade my stomach, and I

I worked tech support last year and yes, there is still a small percentage of people that use Notes in their daily work. I have no idea how they did not get an internal employee revolt yet. I didn't dare ask :|

I'm looking at the tracking page for askedrelic's order, and the only thing that would make this the best tracking page in the world, is for Alex, the courier, to be able to add notes on the page - for example, "Ordered and paid for", and t

It would be interesting if the study showed this, but since the article doesn't mention it, that's a bit of an assumption you're making here. I personally know a couple of heavy coffee drinkers, some of them should be retired but still work

From the article: Pick a project in an area that you don’t have much background knowledge or experience in or one that requires a different stack of technologies from what you are familiar with. Use a different kind of database (eg: try a

I've found that especially in Mobile browsing, the pagination ends up offering little advantage to anyone, beyond statistics. Mobile versions of news sites will often not have ads, only a small header, the text and the pagination links, so

It's a personal challenge that I have, not to take offense or go on the offensive and not taking it personally. A year ago, I would have reacted in a completely different manner. But you're right, "That is the nerdiest thing I have ever hea

Guys, if you ever encounter a woman with a t-shirt that says "Talk nerdy to me", I believe you will have her instantly jump on you and have wild sex, if you tell her exactly what seclorum just said. Which, by the way, I have absolutely no i

I think it's more critical than just having less IE users in that space... The thing is, 1.6% of total traffic does not equal 1.6% browser usage. If all your IE visitors are seeing is a landing page and a message saying "sorry, we're too
