Makes me Wonder, if the Internet in this widespread form, was allowed so that they can snoop (so easily)? When I was a kid, my father, had told me a story that in Russia people are scared to speak their minds, for fear of being snooped via

Hi, Perhaps you should post the stats, after subtracting out the bot visits, from the stats. For our daily stats we do that. Also (internally) report the bot visit counts. For example yesterday we had: Bot name No. of visits

Okay, I upvoted this story for the sake of 'missing kindness', in general on the Internet. But after having understood, the whole story. What replace does is that, basically it is a good small utility for the author of the post to replace

>But TechCrunch is completely right to call us all out Agree with you. If you look at Aaron's activity on HN[1], you will see that there is none from around 144 days i.e. 15 days before from after the help submission[2] was discussed. I

How do you know that, the 'anonymous' poster has not posted this to shame the bastard and the ex-wife?... Doubt a small (30-40 employee) tech company's employees don't spend any time on stackexchange or on HN. And the poster has left just

Yes, I think, there are various takeaways at various levels in that book. The way I understood it, at the surface level, there is the lovely story of Father and Son on a road trip. At deeper levels a lot of things are left to the interpreta

I beg to differ. I think this is an interpretation adapted to meet the requirements of modern times . Because the commonly held interpretation of the proverb, is very simply, what it means, that you got to discipline the child, by spankin

I think OP's post treats swap along the conventional lines i.e swap is good. I think its true for applications running on the client machine. Where you don't want an app, say Eclipse, to crash for lack of memory. And for some years that
