Looks like all these are dead :/

Perhaps because it's not that funny?

Completely agree on "nodeo" (first thing I thought the logo spelt out), plus the spacing between the letters could probably be decreased a bit more as well.

It's definitely not just you. As a customer, I get quite annoyed when a screenshot tries to explain how the game works, as it becomes confusing which parts of the graphic are the game itself and which are not.

I suck at stats but isn't the expected value of Math.random E=0.5? Which makes the result Ex11x2 = 11? EDIT: I do suck. The expected value of Math.random*11 is 5.5, which floors to 5. Thus the total is 10.

Indeed. You seem to assume that the music library is somehow static which isn't the reality for a lot of users of Spotify and other streaming services. There are at least a dozen albums released and reissued every day , and some people (li

That, and it got tiring to explain to customers to "press Command+C to copy" only to hear back "Command? Oh, the Apple key?"

You are. Only one though.

Definitely. One can only stand so many spa and skin treatment discounts per week. Then again, I wouldn't imagine hackers to be the main target group for the majority of groupons.

I hate it as well but it's easy to see you're right as customers themselves go ahead and add the missing "i" in front of products. How many times have you heard people say "iTouch" instead of "iPod Touch" and "iTV" instead of "Apple TV"?

Why?

Perhaps you're not popular enough on Facebook? But more seriously, me and most of my contacts have switched to Google Talk as the Windows Live client is very bloated these days and GTalk generally connects faster and is always there as part

I wonder what would happen if Microsoft open sourced the protocol and parts of the client.

Laughter? Was this supposed to be a joke?

That was a very long-winded way of saying "I don't really know. What do you think?"

>Headphones: Sony MDR7506. The end. Definitely. I've recommended them on HN before. They're the best 'pro' headphones at a very fair price that the companies making overpriced 'amateur professional' products don't want you to know about

Absolutely. There are all sorts of folks looking for clothes made locally and well. I buy American Apparel for both of those reasons.

This is the average font size of the PDFs I read: http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/lehre/WS03/alpi/lambda.pdf Would something like that read fine? Apologies for a pile of questions: Nook Color isn't available here in Canada, and I was thinkin

Do you find the screen and its resolution to be large enough for reading non-eBook formatted books (PDFs, primarily)?

Because it's nice to be able to quickly find out what the name is once I do.

I'm going to vote against this: I personally never look at names anyway. Eyes jump between comments themselves, and only if a person is marked as a friend do I lift my eyes up in a "oh yeah, it's you again" tilt.

Replies to comments solve the "I want to know what others think" problem. I agree with the previous commenter: having the comment ratings hidden was unusual at first but I definitely do acknowledge that I used to mentally pre-judge a commen

Maybe not technically, but the African Bush Elephant going down from 300,000 in 1970 to 10,000 today is a very significant drop.
