That's actually a really good analogy. And the GP is right. There should definitely be some laws to prohibit these kinds of things that Facebook is attempting (doing), now that electronic mail/communication is becoming standard.

I switched from PHP to node.js and haven't looked back since. And I know node has its shortcomings, but in time I have no doubt that they will be sorted out. Right now it does absolutely everything I need it to do and more. A huge part of

I really don't like this idea. While it might have helped ensure the OP's longevity in the company, it's selfish and is really doing more harm then good in the long run. And that doesn't really seem like the OP's style. I hope you and oth

This just saved me a ton of time! I'd been planning doing implementing something similar to this in my startup's webapp. The flexibility this provides is just awesome and should hopefully make things much easier. Thank you Marcin Warpec

If anyone is interested in our little community, it's mostly on irc.globalgamers.net within the following channels: #tdmpickups, #iPug, #mlut, and #mlig. Basically you join pickup games (aka pugs) - 4v4, 5v5, etc. - using an IRC bot that k

I actually still play UT99 daily! There's still a fairly competitive community where we hold tournaments and stuff. Plus, I'm developing something (long-awaited) for UT99 called NewNet (similar to Lotus's UT2004 UTComp mod) that eliminates

Just a tip for those who aren't web devs: the page layout can be fixed by removing the comment/element via Chrome's inspector. Right-click on the comment, choose "Inspect Element", and delete it. And of course the same could be done with an

It's certainly very cool, but is it really that useful? Or I could just be missing the bigger picture. I actually hope that's the case so I can learn something new today. But it just seems to me like making a png/gif image is much easier

You can only build so many businesses within a given period of time; and when the business leaders have more money than is required to do so is when they donate to charity. Donations like the one outlined in this article give me faith in hu

The point the GP was making is that regardless of kids being kids, resources are now available to give the kid first-hand experience that non-conformity and believing in oneself doesn't mean he will go through life alone in his efforts. Ha

Very good point. Sadly more people don't have the same outlook, so this invasion of privacy will probably continue for as long as it's allowed. I think talking about it like we're doing now is the best thing we can do - bring awareness to

I'm glad to see this discussion on HN, because I've always wondered if there was something I was really missing regarding OO programming and whether or not coding in that style exclusively would make me a better programmer. Obviously it's

I've seen a few emulators implemented for HTML5 but I have yet to actually get one to work. For this particular emulator, I've tried the SMB3 rom available in Dartendo's repo at http://code.google.com/p/super-dartendo/source/browse/trunk/

There are some logical flaws with the sociopath label, but there is certainly some truth to it, at least from my own experience. I'll provide a single example. One of my childhood bullies - let's call him Tom - is most definitely a sociopa

It really bothers me that a number of commenters on a TC article are still misinformed as to what the term "hacker" actually means. Thank you, mainstream media, for all of your misinformation and FUD. Regardless, I will still go about my

What about not keeping enough fresh oil? I believe keeping a minimum charge on an EV is analogous to the common knowledge of maintaining a gas-powered vehicle's oil. The problem is that people don't have experience with EVs. I'm sure in t

You can neglect and ignore maintenance of gas-powered engines too. Stop getting oil changes and never check/refill it and see what happens to your engine. It will eventually be "bricked". Just like gas-powered vehicles need to be maintaine
