I agree. I get chuckle everytime someone complaints about a site using Table layouts on HN, which in itself is built on tables. However, I find it even worse when people try to recreate a simple table using layers of divs only to represent

Its one of those instincts, like when you realize there is no money in your wallet you still dig through it or hold it upside down and shake it. There was no rage involved, just disbelief, also since all I was looking for was a 16 digit cod

I once ordered an XBox Live Membership Card from them. I ended up getting an empty envelope. Imagine shaking the envelope furiously and holding it up against the sun to see if something drops. Contacted the customer service, they asked me t

I wouldn't call it horrible but you can't compare it to NetFlix or Hulu. Their selections are very limited and they rarely update ~ every 3 months or so.

Also if you have AMEX, watchout for their offers tab. During December they had $25 off $50 & $75 for Newegg, Amazon & Walmart. No codes, no referral, just use your Amex card at checkout and it automatically deducts from your stateme

At the first glance, yes, I then quickly realized it was about the SEO company. I think it has a lot to do with being a developer and using the css prefix -moz for mozilla based browsers.

Based off the majority of OS related post and comments, I would assume so too but there are a good number of lurkers and users who are non-vocal about their use of Windows. I couldn't find any HN Poll on this matter, but I hope someone
