"[IRC] is the geek equivalent of being stoner, by the way, with roughly the same effect on cognition." That's hilarious b/c I've been in previous lives, both a stoner and an IRCer, and I can't believe I never thought of this.

C is the language of the operating system. It's also very portable. It doesn't require that any other packages be installed - it compiles to machine code. LISP/Haskell/Python/Java don't have this quality, and so desktop software will probab

I found it very interesting that the newspaper decided to use blogging software instead of their own website to publish updates. The blog model is very good for this kind of always changing, always updating, live news coverage - much better

Me too... I buy things on amazon mainly because of the large number of quality reviews. I like to read the best and worst reviews, compare them against my own personal priority list, and then purchase.

I thought it proved the opposite. What are the chances you'll meet the girlfriend of a conde naste bizdev executive at a party in St. Louis?

Isn't the best way to break captchas to offer "free porn"? Offer free porn, ask them to send you their email, respond to a captcha... send out spam about this free porn and bam... millions of example images solved.

I actually really love the rocio romero designs. I find them modern but not cold and impersonal. They aren't even that unusual on the continuum of modern architecture. Great big windows, efficient layouts, and reasonably inexpensive. Ugly

Intent is 9/10ths of the law, and also of troll identification. You can wax about how it is impossible to infer intent, but we all know that's BS.

Seriously. There's nothing more un-SF than living in a high-rise apartment building with asshole landlords. It's much better to live in a 3-flat building with a near psychotic landlord for the real SF experience.

It would be surprising if he was 30. Tearing down other people's ideas is easy - it's actually what some people are best at right after graduating from college.

Seriously?! Call it political bias but the Nobel committee will never give the peace prize to someone who starts a war preemptively.

The danger of something is not the only factor in banning it. It's the danger : utility ratio. Cars are dangerous, but their utility is very high. Guns are also extremely dangerous, and their only utility is their danger - they are made to

Oakland is many many things. It's a big city with tons of different neighborhoods - it's basically impossible to generalize. ps. while the berkeley bowl is somewhat expensive, it has the best damn produce section on the planet. Period.

Has there ever been an example of something incredibly popular that hasn't made money eventually? The best I can think of is napster, and their issues were legal.

You could always just come up w/ your own ranking algorithm. It shouldn't affect the structure of your app at all.

ardit, no offense, but your lack of knowledge about the etymology of the word is apparent. I hate to jump onto this flame-bait, but here's the real definition of a "hacker" from the illustrious jargon file: 1. A person who enjoys explor

You don't think a founding coder is indispensable to your company? Are you saying that if this person decided, one week from launch, to quit, it wouldn't matter? If so, why have them on the team at all?
