great idea, I've often thought someone should make a URL shortener (or should I say changer) for saying things out loud. I've heard a few podcasts were they will say go to 'tinyurl.com/skf74d' (or spoken out loud 'go to tiny url dot com sla

I'm a total newbie to Emacs - where can I find it for Windows, the last few times there have been an 'IDEs suck!' post on hacker news I've gone looking for it, and have found different versions, and dead links. What version do you use and w

yeah it wasn't overly useful, but it was the best that I could get, being an Australian (thus, my bank was unsupported on Mint). The firefox plugin uploader of wesabe meant that any bank could be supported, I'm interested as to why Mint cou

Wesabe actually used a Firefox plugin that was a macro recorder, you just enter the form and go to the export data part of your banks website, and then Wesabe would replay those actions once a week to get new data. Of course it still could

I only used Wesabe because I'm from Australia and Mint doesn't support my bank, the Firefox uploader was great (a bit more control over access to your bank account, sort of) but the actual website wasn't useful enough for me to keep using i

Australians can now sell apps! My motivation for creating them just went up a bit.

Another disadvantage to tables for layout, they are weak against attack!

Probably easier to do when you're on top. If he seemed anything but confident it would raise a fair few flags (media would be all over it too).

There always seems to be some sort of article that is negative towards such and such programming language/framework on hacker news, I wonder why that is? eg, Java is dead Django sucks Leaving .NET

visualSVN is good and AnkhSVN is a decent free one. I've never placed a massive priority on source control integration to the IDE though, TortoiseSVN does fine for me. What workflow do you use that requires it to be integrated into the IDE,

yep, I remember seeing a few discussions around 'do I really need Resharper with Visual Studio 2010?' because they added a whole bunch of functionality that Resharper had. In fact it prompted this: http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/docume

I'd say try to compile the document with things that are actually realistic. Many of the suggestions here are akin to having a meeting with Obama and telling him 'Shut down the military and divert the money to solve world hunger!' and simil

What do you want microsoft to do about number 4? Appears to me that short of going back in time and making it sooner so you'll learn it, they can't do much now...

I can't imagine that Microsoft doesn't use a Microsoft product wherever they can... surely they use Windows, IIS, etc?

This sounds like a good move from Google, do something akin to Facebook instant personalization in their other products, rather than creating the next facebook/myspace/bebo clone.

searches through Yahoo.com don't generate any revenue for Microsoft do they? Ie they show Yahoo ads, not ones that give Microsoft $$? I could be wrong about the deal specifics though. Also, Microsoft doesn't really want people searching thr

Their competitors may have free up front costs, but the purchase price isn't the only cost a business has when they adopt a product. For startups who are short on cash, these free up front solutions are good because thats what they lack, ca

Sounds like you are describing Revit, apart from the cross platform thing. - can link in/import a number of existing file formats - can cut sections as you described - API is well documented and in .NET which lets you program in C#, F#, VB,

As a .NET developer for Autodesk Revit (and soon to be Autocad) I am interested to see if they are going to make us rewrite our applications in a different language to be compatible with the Mac.
