   Nice touch. However, do we seriously need to have every Google easteregg on Hacker News?

   I guess you're trolling, but anyway. All politics aside, the people in NK are hungry. Hungry as in "I don't have anything to eat". There's no doubt about the fact that the Western World managed to get this right.

   So without knowing if this is true in this case though you call them SCUM ? Way to go...

   I just sent out an invitation for a Christmas-themed dinner to a bunch of friends via email. What's wrong about it? Or surprising? How would you let 9 people know when they're expected to show up? Call each one individually just to say next

   Yes, you could have your 246th email account as myspamaccount@hotmail.com without any fuss?!

   Thanks! Now ask for a refund or file a chargeback with your CC company, because it did not work as advertised.

   Yeah, sounds like a really great idea to handle business communication while being intoxicated... If you write 20 lines of BS code, it does not really matter. Thanks to your VCS you revert and finito. On the hand, one wrong email can haunt

   AFAIR, the first Linux Mint release is from 2006.

    To be honest: I'm a "self-repsecting techie" and I won't spent time on "my printer's not working again" if I can avoid it.

    Cute project, but does not sound very energy efficient to me.

    I watch 33,000 of the world's best users and if they aren't using your app I probably will delete it after a few days and forget it Laughable. The world's best users. How do you qualify for that? By adding Scoble to your Facebook graph?

    You don't need to look at the specs , because you see that when you're looking at a device. Just like you don't need to know the size of the hammer -- you see it. I guess that's what the grandparent tried to say.

    From the original question: Given that programming is generally more difficult […] IMHO, one can stop reading at this point because an argument based on a flawed assumption is, well, flawed.

    I'm not sure. It's an impressive, yes. But I doubt that I'd want my (young) children to own a mobilephone that's worth $$$.

    Why switch to XFCE? Can't you just install Gnome?

    Moreover, there is no mainstream socialist movement in the US. Merely calling Obama a socialist does not make it true.

    What's wrong with looking to make a quick buck without having to work hard for it in the first place?

    Yes, to you it might be. To a 13yr old... maybe not so much.

    At first glance, the difference "get help" vs "get support" is very confusing.

    Yeah, just like the OP asks "Why should I sign this?". Why don't you just ask the HR person that question? "Why should I want to sign this? What's in it for me?"

    Why don't you just buy a new car stereo? The last one I bought was less than €100 and features a line-in, USB and Bluetooth.
