So some aren't confused. Content delivery is on FreeBSD, not Linux.

You're thinking of the ratings board. The Academy consists of hundreds. Politics in Hollywood is a cause that will win you awards just like gays, race, AIDS/HIV, Africa and a multitude of other subjects.

I'm not surprised. I'm no big time Hollywood guy but have 45 years of experience. Such ceremonies will award trophies based on subject matter without regard to quality. Not to sound like I'm disparaging the doc but anything a

While I agree pages shouldn't fail without javascript, there are plenty of ecommerce sites out there now that fail without it for the very reason I stated: those with javascript turned off are less than 2% of all visitors.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
Because the marketing guys want it and to write for fallbacks takes time. While this instance is not about marketing, my point is that turning javascript off makes you one of the few and I would have to determine if that 2% is worth the eff

The modern web is scriptable and the days of "no javascript" are over. If you turn off javascript, you are one of less than 2% of the web that does so but you know what you did and the consequences so you also know how to fix the

Powershell is a Unix workalike. That's why you like it so much.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
Quick ad-hoc hacks? Obviously you don't understand the Unix philosophy of do one thing and do it well. If you were ever to learn how to write scripts, you'd find this to be a god-send and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Define "follow". My company "follows" development but does not run production servers with it.

Nope. My personal 'predilections' have nothing to do with it. I thought HN had a theme other than McDonald's restaurant closings and that would make it off topic. Obiously not and anything goes here without moderation. So I&#

More BS from the HN posters. Source credibility: me. 30 years as a multiple restaurant owner.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
Where? Source? I've been in the restaurant business for 30 years and have never seen or heard of that.

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
It's hard enough to make money in the restaurant business much less to also take on a mortgage. And then you have no guarantee your restaurant will still be around in three years and then what what do you do? Source: me. Multiple resta

Two questions: 1) Why is this on HN? 2) How in the world did it make it the the #2 spot (at the moment)? EDIT: Knew I would get downvoted. I now have as little respect for HN as I do for Reddit. You wouldn't believe how little respect

fwiw, I homeschooled my two boys. One graduated summa cum laude from a well known university. The other graduated in the top 10% of another well known school. And I think I did a lousy job of it. If enough people show an interest, I'll

This guy claims to be a software engineer but then asks this question, "Why spend your spare time learning math, which is challenging and sometimes dry?" The question invalidates anything he has to say on the subject and makes me

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
You make no sense at all. My complaint is about the numerous postings of "general news" here on HN. If I wanted general news, I would not come here to find it and, instead, would go to my favorite actual news sites. HN is not a ge

Great. But what does this have to do with Hacker News?

by icantthinkofone 12y ago
This isn't the first time where I've read that someone doesn't understand why prices end in .99 and I'm surprised no one seems to know though someone in the comments in the article came close. I've owned restaurants

You didn't copy the part where they say you have the rights to private use as in conversations with anyone you choose.

The disclaimer IS fact. That they may play it up for more than what it is, as do others, is a different story.

This is a problem. Need a solution? Slap a micro on it. It's a shortcut but not always the best solution. I've seen circuits using a cheap micro, yes, but someone had to program it and a simple analog circuit would have done nicel

This isn't a case she should be making at all. This is a hacking issue, not any "hatred of women" or anything else she's trying to make it out to be. She's embarrassed and trying to deflect it onto something else. H

Too bad they couldn't get someone who can write a more interesting headline without vulgarities.

This is not true and was disavowed elsewhere. Wish I had the link.

But what does that have to do with with the HN audience?
58.
by icantthinkofone 12y ago
The first they should do is do what Facebook is doing and turn to FreeBSD for ideas in their attempt to make Linux as good as FreeBSD's: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/07/facebook_wants_linux...

I quoted the article which stated that fact so if you wish to disagree with the article, and John Oliver apparently, please show what you know.

"the Miss America Organization is the largest provider of scholarships for women in the world, he directed viewers to donate to other groups he deemed more worthy" Personally I find John Oliver to be a dick. Things like the above
