Would $15 be considered "low-cost" in the domain market? * They are the people who own common last names as URLs and sell josh@finnie.com for $35 a year too!

Helvetica was really a fantastic film. If anyone is in the mood for an informative documentary, I would recommend it.

Same here (running IE6 at work). I am assuming this is where "old" browswers are redirected too, but it is obviously not installed properly. Works fine on my Moto Droid.

Webfaction actually allows you to create a git repo with web interface that can be shared privately. It is one of their "one-click" installations and I have been pretty happy with it for my limited use.

Unfortunately, this article sounds very much like he was just introduced to Django. Great write-up overall, but it felt like lip service to Django with the real meat of the article is the RoR stuff.

I guess that's what I am saying. I am surprised they haven't done both yet. Get the non-cable subscribers with a separate package...

I am surprised that ESPN (with all their control) haven't adopted a better online presence. I would pay them directly $10 a month to access their sports and TV shows. Can't be doing better through the cable contracts...

I don't think sticker price comes into play as much online. If you buy enough online, you get accustom to going through the purchasing process due to the additional price of shipping. If B&N is calculating "Shipping + Tax" while Amazon

I have been thinking of an idea very similar to this. I would be interested in seeing how this will work since I don't believe Dropbox will like being a CDN nor do I think S3 is user-friendly enough for the common person. Love the idea of

This is a problem for not only people in the field, but people wanting to enter... I have always felt that I have been "faking it" when it comes to my skills as a programmer. Though, through the help of Google I have developed a few substa

Also, the @-tweeting is easy to ignore. Yes, you have to check who is replying to you a few more times than you would have, but it's not the end of Twitter. Where you can see the real problem is when there are trending hashtags that spamme

I think this was in referrence to adding "reset.css"[1] as your first css file. It is very "black box," as it is something that you add but never modify. [1] http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

I think they are combined into one. This post is asking for the keyword REMOTE, search that to find remote positions.

It is funny that this feature has yet to hit google. I am wanting more and more the ability to sort my google results in chronological order. I recently got a iMac and would love to see the most resent article on how to do things and not

Just had to give it some time. It is up there now. But I know what you mean... the MyNook.com still isn't live. Really puts a damper on the excitement.

This reminds me about the discussion Canada was having where it is illegal to announce election results until all polls are closed; people were questioning the right to tweet results before all polls were closed. Twitter really changed the

I think having to short out a sensor on your computer because you changed the hard drive warrants such a story. Luckily for you, you used a SSD and don't have to worry about cooling... What about the people wanting to add a 1TB drive or sim

Unfortunately, there are too many standard programs out there that need Gnome to run. I can't see Ubuntu using XFCE but still requiring Gnome installed; for newbies that would not be worth the effort. XFCE has a steeper learning curve tha

I don't think it was meant to be "ok" but more in line with the last ditch effort. Older companies might feel as though they have pulled all the stops and this is their last effort to make an impact. I am not saying it is okay, just trying

Really? Is this because you do not like Disqus? Or is it because you are commenting more on websites like Hacker News instead of commenting on the original articles? I have found myself much more interested in commenting on Hacker News th

A bit of a sensational title. With all the discussion on Hacker News lately about ownership of the company, this is interesting. Gave a majority of non-voting stock to MIT to get company dividends. That is all. Interesting way of donatin

Thank you for being the first person who downvoted me (assuming) and writing why you disagree. I come from idea that this person wanted to join Hacker News; didn't understand the community; didn't find the rules and regulations right away;

Karma is currently at -18... lesson learned. <edit> Touchy tonight are we? I was just pointing out that it might not be in the best interest to downvote someone into oblivion on one of their first posts to Hacker News. With the gre
