In the first thread it was mentioned several times that people voted for posts to give them what they felt was a good score, not as a +1/-1/0, but to give them a specific score. For example, I have a fairly reasonable idea of a 1 ( http://n

Actually, I would like to have it set so that you can only see the scores until after you have up/down voted. You wouldn't be able to see the score until after you make a decision as to whether or not the post deserves points.

I'd like to jump on with everyone else who has said "a day isn't long enough." In particular, a day over the weekend, where the site traffic is way down does not show any real significance as to how it will work out in the long run. A few p

I've had a couple people come up in one of my classes that I recognized the names from HN. Any of you who have talked at Def-Con/Black Hat/similar conferences, you've probably come up in some classes, and its weird to have that happen with

I was referring to the past two years or so that I've been seeing it as "recent". It may not be internet recent, but I still consider that fairly recent in terms of music. As far as it goes, I dislike MySpace because it is an excused for a

I believe that was a pun. "Adjust your sales".

I particularly liked his last line: But when you're between the devil and the deep blue sea, you need to stop worrying about pirates, and adjust your sails. It seems particularly apt in the current state of the internet.

I'm glad to see that the artist who performed this isn't just talking about it, he's actually doing what he says. I poked around a little ways, got to his MySpace page, and found this: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.vie

I may be missing a crucial point here, but this sounds like all it is is running a modular malware scanner off of a server, and checking each computer on the network. This seems to fall under a classic problem (well, maybe not classic, but

There is definitely a limit there. No matter how cheap or silly, as long as it doesn't seem cheap , if it came for free people will remember. The times I have been given something free that is particularly cheaply made, usually something m

They have a desktop client, but you (apparently) have to be a member for that. I'm not sure about the features, but I would think it would allow for that.

There's a regedit/GPO that should be applied on any system like this. The key is in Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update (under GPO), and HKEY_LOCAL_

I like the "Ask me again in 20 minutes" option. Sometimes I'm in the middle of something and would like it to go away for a little while. My preference would be two options: "Restart Now" and "Nag me in 10 minutes".

I would rather have the critical system files locked while Windows is loaded. If it was a server, I would understand allowing those files to be changed, but on my workstation I run lots of code that other, not necessarily trustworthy people

I'm not exactly sure about those particular mixes, but I know I end to get good results mixing genres in Pandora by using the "Add Variety" feature. I also find that keeping the window open and just pausing it stops the repetition, they ten

How often are you changing stations? I tend to only change stations every couple of hours, if that often. It seems like frequent station changing defeats the purpose of music discovery, because of how Pandora seems to react when changing st

I always did the same thing, and I (so far) have been up/down voting far more. Instead of keying in on a specific score I feel appropriate for that comment, I'm keying in on just the three options: Up, Down, No change. Without having a visi

Updates are particularly difficult to get right. For something that requires a restart, you have two main options: restart the computer for the user, or wait for the user to restart on its own. You run into two problems if you wait for the

Pandora is the only service that I regularly think "I should be paying these guys money". In fact, a while back I decided that the next time I hit the 40 hour limit I will be upgrading my account with them. In case anyone working with/at Pa

The problem is more general, that the current set of lawyers, policy makers and the like just aren't familiar with anything digital. Given 20 years, when the current law students/other 20-somethings, who have grown up with the Internet, iPh

Is there a significant advantage to using this over regular vim? This looks like just a gui on top of it, which defeats a lot of the "Don't use the mouse" functionality of vim. It seems to be shooting itself in the foot, why would you give

I believe that's the point. What you do is make cool applications, and get people to use it. What he (they) do, is security. You wouldn't try and explain the minutia of using ruby over django for web based applications that involve micro-bl

Uh, what? I thought the draw of MTurk was that you could offer up several hundred $0.01-0.05 tasks, get a decent response for $10 or so. Unless SMS prices are significantly cheaper elsewhere in the world, this would cost the user $0.20 per
