Oh dear God. People are fired summarily in this manner over a joke two buddies/strangers were sharing. If the trend continues males shall start whispering when a female comes near at a conference and maybe just ignore them or move to anothe

Either way you must have made a name for yourself in your circle and more. I envy you for the 'snapping' prowess. However, as far as spitting goes I might qualify to be a master spiter (please read as in sniper ). By the way, just high in

Yuck! Or maybe okay. I chewed few when I was in school. Was spanked without mercy and the spanking got rid me of the habit. Can't complain. Q: Any favourite colours or flavours? Fountain or ball pen?

Fret not. It's normal. I do it too. And I did it when I was not an engineer. As a primary school student and then as a secondary and then college student. I think it's good for us engineers. It gets us little bit of movement for otherwise i

I still believe that "3 seconds" was figure of speech for all practical reasons. Switching is not just: [1. download GR OPML -> 2. upload to some Feed_Service_XYZ -> 3. Bingo!]. Not for a person who had curated his feeds over the y

I am from India and so I grew up on British English and have stuck to that. I was gifted a Oxford Pocket Dictionary when I was a kid, by an uncle. I practically learned my English with that dictionary, had it till recently when I passed it

I should have been clearer. Most of the website, do not just ask Email. Most ask other info too, like my DOB, full name, Other Profile information. And when I say I "do not use", I am talking about the first time logins of course. I don't r

You realise there were feed services that went kaput because of Reader[1] and one fine day Google decided to give it an injection. Is it really that difficult to see this happening to sth like Evernote or Simplenote? I mean seeing Google's

I actually do not login to website that asks me login either using Google a/c, Facebook or so. Twitter being an exception because everything at Twitter I've anyway made public, but I hesitate still.

American companies had patented many famous varieties of rice[1] and other corp. Not to mention many medicinal plants that is being used in India not for centuries but millennia. USPO granted them all that. Luckily Indian Govt showed some b

Sometime ago there was news "North Korea under cyber attach" or sth like that. Now this. So, this is an "attack" or "counter-attack"? Anyway, am I the only who who is smelling that that sense of retaliation was routed from some other countr

People stereotype people. For instance I am just fine with Gates but sort of don't much like Jobs(don't hate though, or maybe I do). I love my Mac and hate Windows(though MS is credited with many others to put computer in the hands of many

I do not see OP mentioning "better" and neither on the website it's mentioned. >> Why not just use HN to follow topics you like (JS in this case)? It's a very subjective question. One answer can be why there's HN or why there's Sta

Even if you are a fully paid scholar at univ? I mean not even a penny in scholarship at an institution? I don't think it will be such an umbrella rule. Is it?

Good idea. Me too. I think Google is not much concerned about the crowd which loves to brew its own coffee(HN and the elk) and curate their Ghostery/ABP prefs, but they are rather focussed on the majority which loves to buy things online an

But it seems Google is done with opening up things. It's experimenting with closing and shutting things down.

Well, sounds nice. Do keep us posted in case you start sth. Will see if I can contribute(or use). My reference to jumping was that I like the ideas of Pinboard and the elk and there's no reason why one for feeds wouldn't work. Work (esp wel

I see a lot of users just going to every service mentioned by that blog or that blogger. Without any research. As '@nsns' says it's the searching phase. There are services that are famous as of now, very famous. Not because those are best o

- Use a client that supports RSS. - Sync your data with Dropbox and use it on other machines. Or FeedHQ.org (Open Source) looks like a fine alternative but I am not sure what it supports yet in terms of your needs. Like they do have list, u
