Good that the man was not found there(in a sense that no one was harmed). I still would like to understand few things. Of course I shall not be able to understand how it feels to have a gun when you want it(and afterwards take a decision on

I see we do not seem to agree at all here. I respect your opinion but I am forced to say - no, it's not. If what you say is to be true then there would be other countries which would be the most stupid places on earth(no names here). They a

Been to Korea 4 times. To work(read slave off by choice), while my visa was business. On whichever weekend I was left alone by my firm I spent it in travelling around, trying things out, meeting people and trying to strike a conversation.

Happened at a time when I was considering Disqus as my main comment system on my new (being built) blog. The main visual appeal of my weblog is going to be(at least that is what I want it to be) minimal and also engaging - as in discussion.

Looks like you have many domains. My unsolicited advise - do not keep them all in one place and NameCheap is not the only better one. I am from India and use BigRock(Indian) and Name.com. No problems till now. Choose at least 2-3 and distri

You can be the first to drag to the courts. By the way, what's the current status? Any improvement? Or did they restore your domain back to you?

I didn't question whether he question that. It's the way he describes India as a "democracy" and a "republic". Please note italicized phrases. Those are my peeves. You can go through my comments again, of course.

Judgemental comments are not very well received on HN, still there's just one thing I've to say about this article - "the author has no idea wheat he is talking about". He seems to be ignorant of India[1] has a democracy, a republic and he

That must be the case. You should check account settings to see whether you have permitted such apps or sth rogue. As it clearly says it does so and I confirm as my inbox is wiped clean too. There were just few "Welcome to xyzabc.com" mails

It never works seamlessly. I would love to do away with all the clinks and cracks which becomes an integral part of it. Becomes more painful when you have to deal with the "whole code" (say guys at those OEMs and those indie ROMs).
