Same. My github repo has made it to the frontpage (bottom of it, but frontpage none the less), but that's very different from having an article attract interest.

Better yet, can it survive an HN load that seems to take down typical blogs? I'm genuinely curious to see what happens throughout the day.

Right, but this isn't really a vulnerability, just a fact of the matter that when an account has credit card info attached to it, it can be exploited. There are probably much easier (and less detectable) ways to steal money than trying

Not new, though. uTorrent install has been shipping with crap for a while now.

As someone who has used f.lux for the last few years (and more so after I've started classes), any single one of these is a welcome update. Together? I'll take it as a late birthday present.

I think a lot of the website above is meant to spark hysteria, which really makes me question the credibility of it all. Some respectable sources do hint that something is definitely wrong, however: http://news.nationalgeograph

It must really hurt the self-esteem of a CEO when they announce retirement and the stock goes up. That being said, it's about time. Microsoft has had too much misdirection lately and really needs to either pull it together or drop out

Weird. I had this exact same thought last night when I was going to bed. That seems to happen to me a lot; think something before bed, and then see it within the week. I should play lotto. In all seriousness, though, "computer" de

Agreed. The people you call know exactly what to expect and make it as quick and painless as possible. They're also very pleasant. I'm young and shy but this was probably the easiest social interaction I've ever done. Worth a

How about email in general? These days, one cannot simply host an SMTP server out of their home, without it being automatically blocked by the big guys (i.e. Gmail's servers block any non-approved sources, for spam reasons). Of course,
