It's just annoying. If I want to open a new window, I'll do that myself by cmd-clicking or some variant of that.

Please don't make this change. My #1 pet peeve on the web is a page that opens new browser windows.

Now how about some recognition for the grunts who actually implemented all of it.

It's really an unfortunate double standard in our culture. Women can have all manner of mechanised play things, and that's a-ok by everyone.

Does anyone else have trouble reading Zed's blog because of the high contrast white-on-black text theme? I have to look away after around a minute, and even then I have ghosts burned into my retinas.

So it's seriously a statement of fact that he's the only person in the entire community who could possibly debug that problem? I find that incredibly hard to believe.

Wow, there's an enormous ego on that guy. Well deserved, but still...

That list wouldn't be nearly as useful for this particular demographic, though.

I think you're being downmodded because your comment is a bit more reddit-like than news.yc-like. Personally I find it borderline, but I'd just be sure to include some serious question or commentary with a joke post like this.
