Is it just me or is this nowhere near the worst? I've seen much worse over the years, at least.

I support this argument. Not sure why the downvotes, but it's the most truthful answer in this set of comments. Cheers to you sir, just because people don't like the truth does not make it any less truthful.

I think a key difference between FB and MySpace is that FB has my parents, pretty much all my relatives, and all of my friends. MySpace had early internet adopters, which were maybe less than 5-10% of my friends? For me, it is MUCH harder t

Agree. Did not read the story because once you say "I'm putting all my eggs in [this one basket]" then you are taking WAY too much risk on a single investment. The guy probably should take some courses on retirement/investment planning.

Your statement that the US cannot impose criminal penalties against non-citizens is very wrong. There are a bunch of non-citizens in the USA who are arrested and penalized if they commit a crime. there are countless extraditions that happe

I stand corrected, thanks. Read up on the actual history of the browser. Thought today was going to be a day I did not learn something :-)

FF's entire existence is based on a hate of Microsoft, so it only makes sense. That's why they're taking it up the butt from Google Chrome, Mozilla does not know how to deal with them. Nor do they particularly care that much about it, it se

It's very good. We have three lunches, pizza at 11, the main lunch at 12, and then a fancy food lunch at 1. The 12 and 1 lunches' menu changes every day, and the menu is sent out over email so you can choose the pizza if you do not like tha

Zynga _could_ get free labor if they wanted. People from all over are continually interested in working here.

A good unpaid internship is the beginning of an apprenticeship: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprenticeship If the internship does not lead to future employment at the same organization, then it might at another organization. A bad unpaid

Yeah, that was your choice. In my case I stuck it out and am really happy with my choice as well. That's the whole point: Choice.

Bullshit. A requirement of slavery is to both be forced to work and not have a choice of where you work (google it). And don't get me started on moral principles. Moral principles are each person's own. Certainly you do not want to be held

Who gives a crap? Honestly: If you do not like the idea of being an unpaid intern, then don't be one. What's not a worthwhile opportunity for you might be an opportunity to someone else. Am I missing something? Seems like unpaid internship

Hmmm In IE9 you can switch browser mode to previous versions (back to IE7). Seems a lot of people on HN are still stuck X years ago when things sucked and they refuse to look at things as they are today, just like you state in your "IE9 mig

Well may have gotten traffic but did it get sales? Goodwill? Attracting traffic because you are being a dick is not the same as attracting traffic because you are making a world-changing awesome product.

There is a lot of danger in defining yourself in terms of what you DON'T do. For example, I don't know what your company DOES do, but I know you have devoted time and energy to taking a pissing-match stance against a browser. This is not ne

Hrmm.. I think the REALLY IMPORANT thing to notice is not that they dropped "Azure" but that they dropped "Windows" as well. Everything in the list that had "Windows" in it, does not have it anymore. This is a step in the right direction if

And yet we have ANOTHER extremely good programming question with really great replies, which asshole moderators have closed on StackOverflow. This one as "not constructive". The one thing that fucks up SO is the moderators.

Yeah, did not read it either. It's just in line with what Buffet's advocated from the beginning. My response to the headline was "so?"

I'll take Buffet's investment advice over anyone else's though.

Anyone who's old enough will remember several waves of "eliminate the programmer". What was the first technology aimed to do that? COBOL? Anyone have a good guess? In any case, yawn to the eliminate the programmer stuff. Been there, done

Agreed, enough with the f-ing BS about asking the same question over and over. Signal/noise ratio has taken a nosedive on HN lately; sad.

First of all, it's why I _won't_ or _don't want_ to return to TN. But also, why is this HN's problem?
