Not to demean you and I understand that you may dislike the idea of charity, but while I don't have much money, I could spare $7.50 to your paypal account to help short term with food, no pay back required. Consider me seeing this message t

You have really taken my comment in entirely the wrong light, I'm not complaining that his death has been treat with respect and reverence but you are right in that I am now mentally filtering the articles with "!(^Aaron$)" - I read the fir

Not funny at all, but in all honesty, I am also keen to get back to the normal flow of things, I have paid my respects and I feel that perhaps 15 articles on the front page may have been enough for now, leave his friends to mourn as they wi

I don't see how they could possibly do any more than they already are given the PPC search results at the side and top. Granted, they could redirect you to somewhere else to help you, but that is going above and beyond, I think it's already

I only really feel qualified to answer the first and second questions you pose to the parent: Firstly, we live in a new age, home computing as we know it is less than 50 years old, the industry is still growing exponentially and finding its

Stuff like this bugs me, when I go to a website and I'm told I can't access it because I'm on a PC . I find myself spoofing my user agent and looking through directories I shouldn't have to just to get in, even if I don't want to use the a

I began my journey on the W3CSchools website, a Google search for "HTML tutorials" lead me there rather quickly and it's simple to understand format had me on my feet in no time, I was using <p> and <table> tags within 5 min

This is a slightly paradoxical problem, I have a static IP, the only way to validate this is for me to get this account banned too.

I hadn't thought of these individual achievements as being that big until I saw them all together in one place and now I can say that this has truly been a breakthrough year all across the technology sector. Every year we seem to be acceler

Of course , this is against the ingrained commenting style of HN, but I genuinely got a chuckle from that mistake.

It's more of a curse than a privilege, I find myself hitting downvote now instead of replying with a well thought out answer to tell them why they are wrong. The downvote should require a comment.

If you are in the US, then Host Gator just stole from a US citizen on racial grounds, not only is that morally reprehensible - it is illegal. Get a lawyer involved, I have no doubt at all that if this goes to court and you can prove you wer

The link at the bottom is the Stack Overflow IT security blog, I will drag out some direct quotes to help you to summarize, editing slightly to make it more readable to people not knowledgeable in the industry. The bad thing about such “cl

Not exactly a new release, but 'Dissolution' by C.J. Sansom was without a doubt the best book I read this year. [1] That aside, I reread the Dan Brown 'Angels & Demons' and 'The Da Vinci code' novels, worked my way through 'To kill a Mo

For me, this is a news site, that I can come here to learn, expand my horizons and then most importantly, forget it all, leave and go back to my work is important to me - if I spent too long thinking about what I read here I wouldn't get an

I agree, but I feel the wording of the article title is the issue here, I feel that while Photoshop is a great piece of software, there is room for improvement, if this program can achieve that, kudos to the developers.

Clearly not, it was a satire of our industry. I was comparing the attitudes of people, the languages they use were merely for the purpose of the narrative, it could quite easily have been Node.js and Perl or Python and Haskell

From what I can see, in my area (north England) the job market is almost entirely dominated by PHP and .net openings, with some Java on the side. Ruby and Python only very rarely get a look in, I imagine it would actually be difficult to fi

"Everyone hates PHP"? Really? It might not be the most popular language around the HN crowd, but this forum is subject to trends and "emerging technologies" - not necessarily to say that these technologies are better or worse, just that the

I believe that everyone is helped out by a hefty dose of luck across their lives - being in the right place at the right time often serves us well. Admittedly, it often comes down to hard work and preparation in the daily struggle, but that

In all honesty, the quality of Indian news articles has been so low in the last few months that when I opened the page (after seeing such a ridiculous title) and saw the URL, I immediately closed the page.

Thanks a lot Tyrant - I just looked through my old posts on here and saw I posted that I will be alone for Christmas, I just wanted to say that I now won't be. I managed to collect a small group of like minded people for this Christmas and

Before I reply, I will give some back story: I lived with my mother and sister in the UK and wasn't working, my skills with the Spanish language were poor to say the least and finding a job was proving near impossible. I moved back to the U

It's really nothing, what might be something small to me now, like a food parcel costing a few pounds, could make a difference to someone else. It would be ungrateful and irresponsible of me not to want to help. I am however off to sleep no

It took quite a lot of courage to write this post, but here goes: I spent a large portion of the past 9 months sleeping rough, maybe 1 in 10 days in total. I was living in Spain and moved back on my own at the age of 19, with no job to come

You took the parent post in completely the wrong way, it's my opinion that he was pointing out exactly what you wish he had said purposefully in the most offensive way possible to show how flawed the choice of photo was.

I read this a few times trying to figure out what it meant before realizing it was a bot of some sort or a none-native English speaker posting generic content. I would downvote it if I could, but for now I'm happy in the knowledge that the

In relation to your bottom paragraph: I play a text based online game where activity is extremely important and I often only have 3 or 4 hours of sleep every day, and even that is broken in to chunks so I can be online every 3 hours - and t

Whilst I respect you as a veteran I feel that your comment did little to add to this discussion. The entire article is filled with metaphor and simile all building up this vision of a Middle Earth-esque world with these companies fighting

I can't address submissions, but I can however address posts: The unfortunate problem with this is that often, there is no direct link between comment quality and the amount of karma you receive for posting it as several walls must first be
