For me it is crystal clear. I have no problem stating that because I am not disrespecting nor discriminating anyone based on gender. What you mean by "it's not clear" is "there's no scientific proof", which is a totally different thing. You

I fail to understand how the absence of work for a few months is a prejudice. I mean, if a company needs to hire a person for a certain critical role in the next months, how is a person that cannot work during that period of time going to d

I'm getting a bit tired of this fake modern-thinking. I don't think anyone is disregarding women right to self determination by making an observation that is obvious. There are jobs and social roles that are clearly perused mostly by men an

When I first started using jquery, that's exactly what I thought plugins would do. To my surprise, a huge slice of plugins are basically non-flexible widgets. This is rather childish and useless. Why would a javascript developer want a fanc

Github fanoboyism? I don't see why that would be so good. Even if github is the best thing thing in the world after chocolate cookies. Personally I don't like jquery plugins website, I find it clunky. Secondly, I agree that github has a nic

I don't know if it is because of the javacript implementations being historically so distinct among themselves, and I maybe weego exaggerated a little bit. But that seems to be true to some extent among javascript libraries. I'm not a very

I don't know if you're being ironic or not, but I do find tat substantially plausible. Sounds more plausible than all the hi-tech everybody is suggesting iran has. I understand that most of the people in here are from California, NY or som

I usually don't make this kind of comments but, after reading the linked article and its comments (on the linked page) I was wondering if everybody suddenly reached absolute stupidity. Glad to see that we can still discuss rationally here a

I don't know if this is relevant, but as an european I phoned paypal europe. As far as I can tell from their accent, the phone was picked by irish people.

aammm... you omited the word 'just' which archio stressed. Sure, if you take away THE important word of a sentence, then you might as well downvote it. 'a mistake' puts this at the same level of seriousness as other problems. This is at lea

As a long time paypal user I must say that I rarely see such a good online based service. I phoned them multiple times and was always answered by well informed people that promptly provided me all the information I needed. Having lived in m

It is widely used. At least in several parts of Europe I've been to and/or lived. With some variations such security measures are ubiquitous here. SMS tokens, an electronic device that generates numbers. A card full of numbers of which a co

Thought it depends on the destinations, length of the flight, etc. I do feel a bit treated like cattle when I travel with ryanair, I must admit. But they hold on strongly to some basic principles on their flights. For example, they are unbe

You missed my point. Even rails kids can write in such fashion if they want. The fact that nobody cares makes it pathetic though. Obviously, many people will care about Charles Bloom's opinions. _That_ is the difference. Out of respect of h

I'm surprised so many people here at HN buys the 'Product Guy' crap. My opinion is even more radical than Aaron Harris'. I'm sick of guys that think they are more important than developers because they use a suit and tie or master some ext

I disagree. It doesn't mater how much credibility the author has, if subjective matters are presented as facts because the author puts himself in a position of unquestionable knowledge, a reader may very well argue that this is pretentious

I agree with some of his points, with others not so much. I have myself to blame by following a link with such a title. This kind of writing is too pretentious for my taste. Everyone wants to have their own blub programmer blog entry. I do

According on the link '64' and '89' are banned numbers. Well, the Chinese government is mathematically limited to a maximum of 98 more such bans.

I completely disagree with you. You might want whatever taboos you like, I'm ok with that and won't challenge them. But heck, if you are going to discuss something then you must be free of taboos in that particular mater, or else your opini

I don't want to take either side, but it sounds like you have a huge taboo that you want to put to bed by saying 'I don't like what you are insinuating'. I'm not taking neither reinhardt's nor your side. But this 'don't touch this subject b

I would like to add. It's not only those who are not so tech savy that have problems. I DO NOT WANT to spend time learning how a desktop UI works. I have more interesting things to do than getting used to new UIs and whatnot when the ones I

That's a useless oversimplification of the problem. Such immediate solutions have enormous pitfalls. For example, in Europe, cocaine got significantly cheaper and rather easy to find. This led to a a considerable increase of its popularity

I'm not sure if 'stading up for Stallman' is what I do as I am insignificant in that context. I certainly agree with him in almost every matter he talks about. I do not care to explain nor getting into discussions with those who either disa

Genuinely curious about the reason why this is oh HN's front page. It's a gorilla.bas, how is this news? Or am I missing some detail here?

Software compatibility is the key difference in here. To this day, virtually every application built for windows will run on windows xp. Does the same applies to android? I don't think it does. Many android apps require newer versions of an
