Not only are they doctoring images, they are making inroads into news sites that have nothing to do with international politics!

From the article: "Meanwhile, someone at Google woke up one day and realized that the company was subsidizing each child to the tune of $37,000 a year — which nobody had noticed up until then — compared with the $12,000-a-year average subsi

Perhaps you are right. But I don't see anything wrong with boosting the reputation of jQuery as easy to use by demonstrating that a 12 year old (who is not a good speaker or the smartest person they could find) can master jQuery. Plus, it

I always imagined that the reddit/HN/Digg algorithms (if you can call it that) went something like this: 1) submit article 2) attach Unix timestamp 3) increment/decrement each timestamp by a fixed time interval of Unix seconds for each upv

I sat next to Mike as he was drawing these (total fluke of me to sit next to him). It was amazing watching these notes being created as the conference was unfolding. I can tell you that each page you see was done as is from start to finis

I like the extra level of filtration from reddit for postings that are relevant to what draws people to come to HN. I could care less if a posting was on reddit before it comes to HN.

The room-sized computer's ability to carry out different tasks - without having to be rebuilt - has led some to describe it as the "first modern PC". Definitely a landmark achievement for humanity, but hardly a "personal computer".

I think this is a valid point and what strikes me as most interesting about it is that we are indeed entering into a time where technology is increasingly becoming a commodity. Perhaps this is the wrong place to be making such a claim (giv

This is a great move. But it only makes sense after a community with momentum is in full swing. The community experience is the driving force behind reddit/digg/HN/mixx/slashdot/etc successes, not the technology.

I thought I was being clever but in the end I've ended up confusing people. I think you can take it as you want to. By using the word "sequel" in the title, I was implying that there is perhaps some hope for future CS students to be inspir

This is a great posting about how the author determined what he was most comfortable with and what worked for his needs. Do what works best for you and what you are comfortable with.

I don't understand why this guy is getting down modded...I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask a question without incurring a penalty, regardless of how much you disagree with it.

I thought it was a rather nice read. It was refreshing to have a little bit of story telling along the lines of a personal experience instead of some quick snippets of facts and opinions mashed up together.

My rule of thumb when purchasing a computer: think about what will be most (relatively) useful 18 months from now. I always consider purchasing a new computer every 24-30 months. The 6-12 months is my "coping" period between the old compu
