Nobody's going to notice this comment now, but Martin Edme has posted a formal apology. Zed, it seems, will not apologize, based on recent twitter updates: Hilarious hypocrisy how I'm called a "dick", "asshole", "d-bag", and "cock" because

Did you notice that the book has an issue tracker? How many other books have one of those? Also, Wikipedia may be awesome, but what percentage of Wikipedia clones are awesome?

I came to the conversation late, and so while I was reading here about people not knowing what the site is about, the first thing I noticed on your site was "We do rave gear. We do it well." I definitely got what your site was about right a

"I think what you did was classless. I think you should try again, but with class" If I said that to you, would you be insulted? I said nothing about your character, and if anything, he was being encouraging. And then, you're pissed at Zed

Back on the first hand, how frustrating would it be to have the Kinect changing slides for you every time you gesture at the screen? In general, though, yes, I think there is a lot of room for improvement in the technology that supports pre

If the license clearly states you cannot modify the work, then you cannot modify the work . It doesn't matter how many times you contact the guy with no response, the license was there since the beginning. And you're only pointing out one

The big problem I see is that not only do you have to explain the whole concept to your potential senders, but also to the recipients. A major reason I see for why Google Wave failed is that it required all parties involved to have signed u

> join forces with like-minded citizens in support an idea that you believe in That looks like the definition of a political party to me. Saying that creating more parties is a solution to the current 2-party situation (which, I agree,

Your potential solution might work, but I think it allows for the kind of spammy comments the Android App store gets a lot > Awesome App! 5 stars! Get paid apps 100% free from xyz.com!

(not grandparent, but similar situation) I've been here for a while, and I think it is difficult to participate at a level that gets lots of karma. I limit by intake of HN with the "Hacker News 100" feed, so that you all can filter my conte

And spammers could create lots of accounts, wait until each is mature, and then unleash it. How can you tell the difference between a spammer that creates a stealth account and a lurker that still doesn't have anything to say, but is creati

On 'empowers' - what has caused people to learn that empowerment hurts? On the data - I see that the last NIST was 2006, they cite one 2006 source, a 2008, and a 2009. That seems pretty good to me, considering that the oldest one is a paper

Oh, OK. I think I got the joke and then thought 'oh, that can't be it'. It did give a nice break to the pacing of the story, though.

Thank you for this! One side project I'd like to get back to is my fork of JSettlers. Here's a screenshot of the game screen: http://imgur.com/aAokt.png So far, I haven't given the UI any love, but hopefully your comments will inspire me.

Congratulations on getting the book out (and for the 30% off you gave me)! My only question so far is about the comic...what's the point of the 3 panels in the training facility? Is the 'hug' joke supposed to be funny?

Congrats on going from 'half-baked' to launch in 3 days! Now that you've launched, can you take a look at the Hacker News 100 feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc100 )? Also, I don't know if this is intentional, but the feed view for a

Very nice. I really like every single screen, up until I went to look at my Hacker News 100 feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc100 ) I was expecting it to break, because the title links to the content, and the body of the rss item lin

It would have been better to submit the demandprogress link a few weeks ago. The OP, however, is more recent, from a reputable organization most of HN already knows, and puts the issue in context with the upcoming election. I'm not sure if

I think that saying 'Oh the irony' in a 'sarcastic' comment is far too meta to be understood in almost any context.

I imagine there's plenty, since they've been running ads on Hulu, and possibly TV as well. They also have ads for it on the google homepage and youtube ('watch in a better browser' or something like that)

For a project that's trying to improve documentation and documentation visibility, arewefirstyet.com is a pretty horrible site. I had no idea what was going on until I read the jsconf speech. Also, (this is nitpicky, but) you might want to

Right, GitHub has it, but Git doesn't, so companies that can't host their code off-site (for legal or other reasons) won't have this feature.

Are you planning to release svn write-support in any fashion at any point in the future? git has git-cvsserver, and could really use a git-svnserver. Also, many of the casual svn users I talk to are on Windows using TortoiseSVN. Git's Windo

"Classic Feynman" is a compilation of Surely You're Joking and "What do you care what other people think?" plus some extra material. Highly recommended.
