Off-topic, but why do so many sites still use static layouts that break when zoomed in with a mobile browser. The choice of font on this post is too small to read without zooming in, but his little static box forces itself on top and of the

OK, but everything will still be in a case so still fat and heavy and clunky looking. A shock proof case can only be so thin and only when you can prevent thin glass/metal/plastic from breaking or warping so easily (let's see how long that

The thinness angle doesn't sound right to me and would be a bad decision to trade it for real features. Thinness is important, don't get me wrong, but nearly all iOS device users use cases. The thickness of a case can often double overall s

Can someone explain how the Notification Center would be useful for someone who isn't in the iEcosystem? I use gmail and choose Android but live on a Mac. It seems to serve me only to clutter my toolbar. Am I missing something?

Streaming is an absolutely essential feature of uTorrent and is the only reason to still use it (well, maybe not after the scene shifted away from XVID and to mp4). Let's spare the discussion of whether or not it is healthy for the torren

No, its still not possible. There is a big difference between dedicating 10 weeks of thought and consideration to plumb the depths of a subject and simply being able to fake that effort in order to pass a test for a grade. You and the OP di

My main point is that the author should be proud of his posts and proofread them, especially when choosing to share them this way. As far as self-posts... I'll defer to the community's choice to upvote whether or not it helps/hurts the comm

And the reasons for regulation go beyond consumer protection from shady drivers. Cab companies are regulated in many cities so that they, literally, are part of the public transportation infrastructure. NPR had a recent story about the taxi

Its pretty clear by now that the language Anon uses is a parody of itself. I can guarantee you that the statement was written and reviewed by committee. I highly doubt anyone has a hard time identifying it. This goes back years, to early ea

You're still making it sound like college dorms. They too are designed exactly to promote 'family-like atmosphere that creates emotional support' and one to 'bounce ideas off each other.' That's why they're such a unique and memorable exper

Have you ever worked somewhere that was perhaps a decent job, but you dreaded coming in to work because of bosses/coworkers/distractions? That's culture, just bad culture. Everyone seems to be able to relate to bad culture. Company culture

BTW, people aren't downvoting you because of your convictions as you seem to think according to your profile. They're downvoting you for a complete lack of contribution to the comment thread. That's why people downvote on Hacker News.

Again, this is a gross oversimplification that describes only generic version control concepts and none of the powerful features that . Go ahead and try explaining a rebase without trying to broach the concepts of time travel. How about why

One can only hope that the extent of litigation allowed against individual companies is appropriately limited and understood in the appropriate contexts. This certainly wasn't the case when the the ADA of 1990 was first passed. In those fir

This reads more like a pardodied ad for all tablet devices than anything else, even more once you remove the plugs for your favorite apps... but boy do you sure sound like hip cool guy on the go.

US imprisonment has very little to do with this. The man faces rape and sexual assault charges, one of the most serious offenses a person can commit. Though I back his politics 100% and consider him a hero to be remembered, he has every res

I'm shocked that this isn't a parody; considering your service, choice of color, and even your URL are already a blatant ripoff of Dropbox. Shameless indeed...

When a job listing says ninja/rockstar/badass coder, its really just a codeword for someone they can force to do anything at all costs. They act like they want a 10x'er but really just want someone who they can get to do 10x much work.

Ubuntu has a huge community that makes any question you have easily Googlable, as well as a much more mature ecosystem in general. Even if they're built on the same foundation, these little things really make a difference and ease headaches

Linkbait titles combined with the lack of ability to downvote stories. Even though I think restricting the downvote is a good idea, it contributes to this problem quite a bit. And don't even get me started on the lack of ability to vote or

True, its easy to go this grasp for this argument in the abstract. Hell, maybe the way they do things in NY is corrupt. But in reality you're grossly oversimplifying a century of progress in public policy. Labor laws protect the needy and
