I apologize on his behalf. You should know that the majority of the community here isn't trollish like that.

I feel bad for them too, but it's important to remember that if they don't work for the customer , then they're not a viable business. No sympathy necessary.

What?? You de-anonymized the troll as HN's own jacquesm. I would call that bashing...

Your scheme can be a few more random bits, selecting from a finite number of "schemes".

If I knew your passwords were all song lyrics, that's already a failure of security.

You're making the fallacy of assuming whats easy for you is easy for everyone else. As the xkcd comic pointed out, which is easier to remember? "x1.Tlm98" or "trix are for kids!"

I think you may be taking this a bit more seriously than either party intended. See bostonpete's comment below.

You seem to imply that it was inevitable. The big blue and white gorilla in the room begs to differ. It certainly positions G+ slightly differently than FB, but whether this is actually a competitive advantage is still to be seen.

Oh come on people, it's not a fiasco. Has nobody watched Breaking Bad? Money laundering!

Speaking as the parent of two teenagers, I can safely say -- no, I don't think so :) Teenagers are a whole different category of angsty indecision.

With teenagers, "considering X" is not well correlated with "doing X".

It happens all the time. The most prominent case was/is American Express mining spending patterns to characterize users into various categories. Here's a slightly dated NYT article on the issue: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/31/your-money

One of those classic cases where it's hard to determine if the person is either brilliant or an idiot.

So someone on the Internet thinking that Steve Jobs used to code really bothers you? Perspective, friend, perspective...

I think he meant that GC is a "solution" to the problem of memory management only if you consider memory to be unlimited and fast; in other cases, it incurs a penalty and isn't really a "solution". You took is comment far too literally.

All are much improved. Flash is now 64-bit stable, Banshee is decent for music, and I had plug and play with my dual screens on an nvidia gtx 550 with dvi and hdmi. The current crop of default apps is decent, albeit not perfect.

Share the love?? Good god, children, please give me more to go on than that. Where will my hard-earned money go to? Given your code output, I'd rather my cash didn't end up feeding you guys -- plenty of people work day jobs while working on

I think people either took it too literally, or are upset at the (unintended) comparison of Zuck and Jobs.

> Good old Microsoft trash browser stats, just like the old IE is the safest browser one. In fairness, running IE6 is soon going to be like running Firefox with NoScript, so it might actually be more safe, just like Lynx.

Nginx is one of those rare products where I felt no need to upgrade from the now-ancient 0.7.6 version because it just does everything I need well . Truly an amazing little piece of code, on par (in my books) with venerable oldies like qma
