Yep, I ask myself what HGBary thought would happen after they would give a list of "anonymous key members" to the FBI.

You got a pretty much totalitarian world view. Don't you? In most countries it's perfectly legal to have 2 (or more) businesses use the same name - provided they don't compete in the same field. In German a Microsoft that deals in software

Erm, is this a troll, a linkbait or simply ignorance? Those "abstract" TLDs belong to real countries. (Well except your .42 - which is a custom TLD that's not accessible through the "official" DNS system.)

> Many would also argue that the majority of people that hang out here are not "hackers" but instead "developers that (mostly) know how to get shit done." yeah, but why is it called hacker news then?

They are not hackers. They are crackers. Real hackers hang out on HN! /edit: what's with the downvotes? wasn't it stated multiple times that the people who break into computer systems are not to be called "hackers" but "crackers"?

Wow, that post is just wrong. Open source is not a product. Open source is a community effort. If you don't want to use it - well, it's your problem. No one will shed a tear about it. If you actually would care about open source you wouldn'

Sorry man, but that's just a huge pile of dumb bullshit. If the information is out there it's, as a thinking human, your duty to learn about it and improve your knowledge. Information want to be free per definition. If some company fails to

Isn't all the internet in Egypt blocked? Like you can't connect to the outside. How would a TOR network help? You still need to have IP connectivity to reach TOR nodes outside of your country.

Could you elaborate more on your choice of XMonad? Was it just the first best tiling WM you chose or have you done some research? I'm currently looking for "my" tiling WM and am overwhelmed by the amount of available tiling WMs. Awesome-WM

I use splits and vertical splits. Tabs are an option too, but I usually don't leave that many files open at once. For browsing files inside vim I use NERDTree (or if I remember the filename :e <filename>). To quickly open the file's

That's why the "hacker" in Hacker News disturbed me at first. I believed this was more of a technical community and not a forum for future millionaires :) But with some cognitive filtering it's not that bad ...

For this survey it would be nice if we had a finer granularity. It would be interesting to see where the most HN users sit in Europe. Western, eastern and "other" Europe for a population of 700+ million people is rather sub optimal. Compare
