   Throw up Firebug or Chromes Dev Tool and watch the HTML dance around too :)

   The idea is that there are plenty of other places[1][2] to be humourous on the interwebs. By coming down hard on the few instances that are posted it stops entire threads turning into just these amusing but ultimately unproductive comments.

   This is a highly important dreadful story but what is it doing on Hacker News, let alone the front page?

   Someone has to push the boundaries, it isn't like this is being done on an essential service.

   VERY interested in this as something I would like to do in some form or other. I don't have kids yet and am working on disconnecting my income from the hours I work with passive income (the dream right?). At the very least I would like to w

   Apart from a monetary contribution by a single co-founder I don't like to odds of uneven ownerships working well. Too much opportunity for bad feelings to develop on either side of the equation.

   It is a shining example of what is wrong with the US patent system for sure (he says haughtily as an Australian) but worst patent ever granted? Doubtful.

   I am always slightly astounded by people who are completely cut off from their cultural roots. Likely because I am a white Australian guy with English parents and am envious of those around me with (to me) more interesting and varied cultur

    +1 but with Emacs. Given there are well established debugging tools in Emacs (and Vim too?) I cannot imagine this being terribly difficult, assuming the protocol is reasonable and consistent.

    Yeah they have done their first round of companies. A friend did it and it seems they got a fair bit out of it. Only time shall tell if it was truly worth it for them or not. http://www.startmate.com.au/

    I had the same reaction to the N-word, fusion and fission are a bit too similar for the layman I think.

    I find Avoid Comparing to true and false a little pedantic and can someone explain how it is "... bad as it's ambiguous"?

    I shifted a couple of months ago to Linode due to the cheaper prices and the good meme they have here on HN. Been very happy with their tools, much better than Slicehost's.

    I use TextMate for writing code, and it does most of what I need, but the allure of emacs is strong and I think that one day I will take the time to learn it and harness its power, but for now, I’m a TextMate man, and it treats

    Seconded, I have been eying off their cloud service as a way to manage our server costs as we have some pretty wild but predictable swings in load throughout the day/week. We currently have dedicated hosting with Softlayer so a cloud in the

    I chat with PHD students at the Swinburne University Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing from tiem to time and they have many similar stories to tell. There are pretty sexy problems to deal with as a programmer enough to have me cons

    You aren't testing the engine. You are testing that the unit , in your example the class Foo, responds correctly to the state and inputs you provide it. Decoupling those responses from other units such as the graphics subsystem gives you

    Sorry fella but you don't understand the concept of unit testing. I suggest you do some reading on the subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing

    Unless I have missed something about unit testing somewhere I am pretty sure that fails the "unit" part of unit testing. Unless that "#include GrSubsys.h" is actually importing a mock graphics subsystem.

    I don't know what it is like for an everyday user but as an experienced power user I found Unity slower than the classic interface. I use gnome-do for launching programs, and it runs faster and supports more than Unity does. We aren't the t

    And people wonder why as an Australian I take such an interest in the US political system. As an added bonus it makes me feel better about the sorry state of our system. One case where the grass isn't greener.

    I should do that. I assume there are no issues uninstalling nginx and installing the PPA and then nginx right?

    It will, once we have a process that can produce it at an industrial scale which appears to be forthcoming [1]. [1] http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100119111057.ht...
