Oh come on, Direct quote from the article: "But Mr. Selig said there was something extraordinary, too, about those corn-syrup-happy bees that came flying back this summer. 'When the sun is a bit down, they glow red in the evenings,' he said

Sure the bees don't make good tasting honey anymore, but now they glow red at night! How is that not a win?

I'm not gonna lie, I read this almost entirely for the letters to the editor section. So hilarious.

I agree with the points here. Markdown seems like a great idea. Maybe have a toggle for what the post is in (Markdown / Plain text)? Also I'd like to see a post date on the page. Finally is it open source?

This is a cool idea, but if I used it with the amount of data I use at home, I would be spending upwards of $500 a month.

Most college students I know these days who live in their own place (About 65% of the student population around here) don't have cable. This is because most are apt enough at using the Internet, that they can find all shows for free. Some u

I found isaac to be pretty cool. I had to fork it and add features because it's not maintained too well, but a neat idea. https://github.com/ichverstehe/isaac

I imagine that they did think of this, but a good string hash takes time. So switching to 64-bits takes much less time, and it would work until they finished snowflake.

This disgusts me, but I totally believe it, as a college student seeing these kinds of numbers do not surprise me at all. Where I go to school though, the test is given at one hour on one day. The whole you have 52 hours to take the test th

I was just looking at a similar article, I totally didn't know that, but I find it very interesting none-the-less.

Interesting, I totally thought they would have hit this a while ago. For some reason I assumed they might have hit a magnitude higher. But I guess I totally misunderstood their popularity. Whoo echo chamber.

The fact that it is just a fork of KHTML. Also the fact that Apple hasn't been the main contributor to it for over two years.

I'd go to college and get a degree. I was kind of burnt out at the end of high school, so I did two things, the first was go work in the mountains for a summer and then went to college. Four years later I'm kind of burnt out on the whole co

So funny enough, at my last two interviews, both of my interviewers were ex-Boy Scouts. It's a job I can talk a lot about and since I did it for four years, really affected the kind of worker I am.

The biggest issue I've found with latex, is its kind of a pain to write in, and has a higher learning curve. In reality, it is the better choice if you want the final product to be printed, or need more stylistic control.

I don't know about HN being only a place to say nice things, but I do wish people would explain their downvotes. If people knew what was wrong with what they were saying, then they wouldn't say it.
