In large cities, you're still surrounded by many peers. While they may be harder to interact with due to distances, you'll likely also have the means to reach them relatively easily (car, public transportation). Tech meetups are really ea

It's all just a degree of abstraction. Someone could say you were "programming" if you were using Automator. Explain more specifically to what level you think people should be programming their computers, because I think it will never hap

Tall ceilings would be nice. I don't understand why so many offices are cube farms with uninspiring walls and low ceilings. Windows are an afterthought. Lighting is all fluorescent...

Why can't your roommate play with headphones? As for the clutter, I definitely agree that a clear desk (and computer desktop, taskbar) helps clear the mind and helps you focus on the real work. Being around others that are hard at work doe

It looks like the cruise ship chairs used by all the obese people in WALL-E. I really hope that movie's futuristic scenarios aren't fulfilled.

Does anybody else wonder if the concept of that restaurant is a bit sacrilegious?

Extending your thought...wouldn't the market then only be that active at those very narrow seasons?

Ideally, that "figuring out" would have happened before the marriage part, no?

Do you have an S.O.? While you may have one who is anti-V-day (which is fine), but I'd imagine that even the one who "doesn't really care much" would probably be a little disappointed if you made NO effort to do something just a little spe

Very interesting and thorough analysis. It's not just someone making wild speculation based on a rehashing of network news, but rather, he seems to be a seasoned small craft pilot with legitimate knowledge and understanding to add.

I agree with you. I certainly feel that I read a lot online now, but so much of it is in small bursts. I find it hard now to maintain decent concentration while trying to read long documents/books offline.

Like others have been mentioning here, Metafilter has a fee like this, and from what I hear, it works really well for them. Thinking about it more, though, I can see how it would could really prevent new users from wanting to join. I'm no

God Bless Australia. I love that country, and I really liked how tax is already included in all prices and payment is rounded to 5c since there are no 1c pieces. It makes payments so much simpler.

I find that NewEgg is more than adequate for any sort of tech purchase. I guess that if people are going to be spending a lot on expensive tech equipment (and nearly all of it is expensive) then they'd probably like to see it in person fir

Does anyone else feel that the play/pause button is backwards? For me, the button displays the "Play" arrow when the music is playing and it shows the pause button when it is paused. I know that sounds like how it should be, but I think t

Well, those houses being rented out seem to be in the range of ~$3000/week. That's what's nuts. There would be more people going that route if that price wasn't so high.

Amazing...thank you! Are there any other specific groups that you'd recommend (any python groups)? I'm planning on moving to Fairfax, VA in the first quarter of 2009, so I want to know what would be a good way to get familiar with the are

I suppose you could start it yourself. :) If you feel so strongly that way, I bet there are others out there like you, too.

So true about those other sites. I'm so happy to have found HN, and I no longer even remember how it happened.
