I tried to log in as soon as the site came back up, it offered me team selection for another company , and even then wouldn't let me continue. I switched browsers to try again and they were already sold out. Very frustrating.

I just tried XVim for the first time because of this post. This unbelievably well integrated into XCode, and the source code is very clean, especially for obj-c.

They don't even work short-term. In fact, this gives users the means and incentive to figure out how to pirate without it being visible to the ISP. Imagine you're a clueless user that keeps getting alerts about torrenting. Maybe you get

Do meteorites really do this? I've never heard of another like this event before, and I always hear reports about meteors 'almost' hitting earth well in advance of the possible collision date. I didn't think the sky could simply open up an

When I was younger, I was mentored almost exclusively by the very knowledgeable people on Freenode IRC. It's not only possible, but it's much better to do this remotely. I've found that when people receive criticism remotely, it tends to e

The last one was very well written, and it got rave reviews in the HN comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5046178 I would imagine that the public would find the Death Star response to be distasteful and patronizing, but it is ap

Perhaps web browsers should just include an option to disable cookies. That way, websites wouldn't have to display these kind of alerts, and users wouldn't have to trust that all sites will actually display these warnings before setting a

I wish he'd gone down this route further. It looks like there's code at the top of the file that "decrypts" (decodes?) the contents of the PHP file. I'd be curious why he felt this wasn't worth reversing. I'm also curious if there's a way

I do pretty much the opposite of you. I only ever use one monitor, but have the highest resolution display I can get. I'm that guy with the new 15" MBP set to 2880x1800. The way I look at it, my eyes can only be on one screen at a time,

Pretty soon, anyone who wants a gun will be able to 3d-print one. I think "gun control" will soon become "technology control", which is going to be tricky because this community appears to be largely anti-gun and pro-tech.
