   Exactly, in my final year we'd be inundated by almost daily visits from the likes of KPMG, Logica, Accenture, Microsoft, HP, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank etc telling us why we should work for them. I only realised that startups were an opti

   Looks great, maybe you can monetise it by bundling some add on web services? xobni / rapportive / cloud backup & search?

   I tried to sign up but it disallows me from doing so as I'm not in the USA. which does make sense from an admin/legal perspective. However, if he needs South Asian bone marrow, isn't the best place to look South Asia? Is there an ethnic min

   Yeah I wasn't clear, I mean one of the big things putting me off using D more was having to download DMD, so I'd be more inclined to write Go, if this gets merged I won't be.

   That's assuming you care about concurrency in a low-level systems programming language. If my problem space requires concurrency I'd use clojure or erlang. I guess if you're interested in one language for everything then maybe Go is better.

    This reminds me of a quote: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always v

    funny thing is that the same thing happened to the Tea Party, who got taken over by RNC community organisers. So out whet the pro-drugs, pro-immagration and pro-choice, and in comes the Christian Taliban under a new banner.

    I've just started doing this and my feet feel similar to how they would if I'd done a day of walking. They are slowly getting used to it now. Is there any benefit to getting a dedicated standing desk? I'm currently using a combination of a

    I don't like ipods because it requires proprietary software get music on them. I don't like macs because I can't get the mouse acceleration to work like Linux or Windows. It's like moving your cursor through treacle. That's it. Cost isn't r

    why don't you just strip the DRM on the books you buy? It won't help with the social network stuff because Kindle doesn't "see" the stripped versions of the book, but it would allow you to have two accounts for the purposes of 'hope to read

    I think an easy solution would be to immediately show the TurnItIn results to the student when they submit. They are then given a chance to resubmit if it picks up plagiarism. The first time they'll probably keep tweaking the content until

    I don't have anything to do with them, just been listening to it all morning and thought it was cool and HN might be interested as it was made by dudes in the startup community as a side project. Also with turntable.fm blowing up right now,
