Including the word "religion" and asserting a position on it via gross generalization is two things. Going through the thread it is just a shame to find you repeat the same mantra (no pun intended) over and over in the every comment without

You have pretty much repeated that in every comment of yours in this thread. Hope we all could have a healthy discussion without gross generalizations and prevent Ycombinator HN from turning into another r/atheism.

Actually this reminded me of that episode of Big Bang Theory where Sheldon gets paranoid about germs or something and builds a similar device to interact with others. It was also the episode where they bring in Steve Wozniak. http://www.yo

I can attest to this. Having run quiet a few freemium model sites, the time and energy wasted on unwanted support is astounding. God forbid if something goes wrong, some people will take time to email you just to yell at you. Still can't un

What's with a lot of fanboism posts lately??? Heck the linked post doesn't even offer a clear picture of either of the IDE's. IDE's often look similar and its no secret. This is because developers often have to use different IDEs for differ

I am not sure about the Youtube since they have stopped buffering the whole video in one go. It just waits at the 30sec mark for you to cover the first 10sec and then jumps another 30sec, so on. Guess, its some bandwidth saving technique.

I agree. Although not a big fan of GoDaddy, I have both searched and purchased tons of domains with them and atleast to my knowledge, they don't put a hold on the searched domains. You can do a simple experiment: search for the domain "acme

Yes but less. You see iOS does not have desktop widgets like android/windows, so this is a creative way to show the updates within the app icon.

Let me throw a similar question at you, define "race hate" or "sexism". Does making a joke about generalized views on race or sex contribute to "race hate" or "sexism"? If not where do we draw the line? When someone makes a remark about the

What kind of an analogy is that? It is not only flawed but does not relate to your argument. I guess the point that illumen was trying to make is that PHP can be used in popular real world applications and is "proven" to scale. Just like F
