Could you put into words the chilling issues about ethics and morality found in The Watchmen ? I've read it some year ago, but I really can't remember anything striking, though I'd like to.

What do you need the URL shortener for? I find it very annoying to have to click in order to see who the author of the content is when I can just look at the domain name at the end of the HN submission.

I'm upvoting this just to hopefully start a discussion and hear more about this topic from fellow HNers. I hear the Dragon Book mentioned almost daily around here; I'm intrigued. Do you think this book could be read by someone who's not act

I just finished this. It took me about 5 hours in all. A good way to spend a Sunday afternoon I suppose. I have a good knowledge of Python and have worked with Ruby in the past on a little Rails project of my own. I had forgotten anything I
