What on earth are you talking about?

by mehwoot 13y ago
What a vapid comment. Can't come up with a good argument so you just loosely associate with something you think is bad. Great addition to the discussion.

Yeah, you would think that, but you'd also think he wouldn't have made a number of other pretty elementary mistakes that led to him getting caught, like promoting the website using a username linked to his email address (firstname

The same is true of any foreign currency. I could send $150 million in Russian rubles to my sister, and she wouldn't be able to do jack with it until she finds someone willing to give her dollars for it. With the amount of money invol

It's not that hard to argue. Given there are lots of things to take into account, but Jordan averaged 2.5 more ppg than lebron, and 5 ppg if you take out the wizards comeback. Jordan also won 6 out of 8 championships, (and you know, w

Is it wrong when the NSA reads your email under certain conditions but who cares when it's released to everybody?

by mehwoot 13y ago
Yeah, I know, but I don't have those stats available. Hence why I said it's in the ballpark.

There are 18 Quarterbacks in the NFL with an average Yards per Attempt over 7 yards. So it could be in the ballpark, at least.

That's not what the word means. 1. Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating 2. Pretending to be unaware or unsophisticated; 3. Unaware or uninformed; naive. Generally it is used to mean untruthful on purpose, with an

using their own words against them is very disingenuous. How is that disingenuous? Was the accusation not sincere?

Is it realistic that you could find an underground stream wherever you want? Around 20 million people live in Mumbai. I'm just not sure it would work on that scale with tall residential buildings, as awesome as it is.

I find it interesting people rag on sportspeople when they seem to care about money too much, yet when guys give up money to have a better chance at a championship, somehow that's wrong as well. It's like because Cleveland happene

It was established in the age of mechanical clocks. Because of the way the gears were generally configured, the two sane options were 9 minutes or a bit more than 10. They chose 9. Digital clocks followed suit.

I think it's good advice, but I also think it is wrong. There are writers who I read for the sheer joy of the skilled way they construct their prose- Salman Rushdie would come to mind as one. That doesn't mean he doesn't als

Wow. I mean HN does have its douchebags but is it really getting this bad?

The SEC is overrated and this is the year that they stop being relevant.

Now you can create a document on an iPad, edit it on a Mac, and even share it with a friend who’s stuck on a PC. Yeah, cause google docs has completely destroyed Office.

Almost every exploit in the wild seems trivial. The hard part is ensuring you don't ever miss one.

I don't think being supply constrained at launch means they are incompetent. When you have a large % of people who want to buy it as soon as it comes out, if you build your logistics to have enough supply at that time, you'd have

Right, that would make more sense.

I think "exceeded expected" is a bit of marketing speak here. Did the sales really exceed what they expected? If so, they must be pretty bad at forecasting how much of their own stock they sell, time and time again. And if the 5

Funny enough, I wasn’t even angry at first. I was actually kind of amused. Who doesn’t laugh at unfortunate shots of poorly dressed strangers? I’ve certainly done it before; the Internet runs on this kind of anonymous scorn. If you read t

He asked the other account a few months later to make him a fake ID. Why would you be contacting and want to be involved with somebody who extorted you to the tune of $150k just a few months back? Not to mention he would then have to give

Yeah, I don't follow this either. If they are equivalent programs- they both compute the same function- then what does it matter which is which? Also how would this apply Or obfuscation could help in producing "crippleware&quot

Do you really think a private police force paid for by a particular group of individuals would be a fair and neutral enforcer of laws?

Yeah I'm sure private policing would work great.

I'd argue this isn't a problem with Linux as much as it is the device manufacturers. It most certainly is a problem with Linux. It might not be fair because it isn't entirely their fault, but users want something that work

That's simply unrealistic. It's a nice theory but if you're the only people using that software, how is it going to be cost effective to take the burden of maintaining it?
