   Why do you want an invite? It seems to me that it's HN for people banned from HN. I wanted an invite as well but it's comparatively quiet there. Don't see the point of an account there.

   Yawn. Another slightly-too-low spec anachronistic touchbook. I really appreciate that Macbooks don't have touchscreens, because why would you need it on a laptop? The Asus transformer and the microsoft surface make some sense, sort of,

   This is kind of dull but no more insane than collecting anything else. It's not as bad as some of the collections I've seen online on certain otaku culture sites.

   Okay, perhaps I am being subjective. I got into this stuff on my own, maybe exposure makes a difference for some. But let's face it, there's no objective reason why math/compsci/engineering should be interesting even aft

   Go to 4chan/reddit, check some boards and see which ones are not only active, but get a lot of current events and news articles posted. See, I'd suggest math, but it'd be deader than coinspotter news. Already have medicine ne

    I would like to learn C#, mainly because there are 20-30 applications that I would like to see on Windows Phone that I can't find, so I feel like I will have to write them myself as no one else owns a Windows Phone. Seriously though I&

    I used to use dwm and I remember looking at ratpoison and wanting to use it, but I was learning Haskell at the time so I chose xmonad. and likewise when I'll care to learn Lua I'll move onto awesome-wm. Which will probably never h

    Weird, I was just talking about this earlier when someone asked for productive activity on train journeys to/from work. I used to do these problems years ago when I was still a student and later when commuting to London. I did as many

    Nothing. It's what needs to be removed that's the problem. I basically never use a DE because xmonad is all I need, and if it needs to be customised, it's not limited at all.

    Sad that Bedrock Linux is not on that list. Also, why bother with Sabayon over Gentoo? If configuring gentoo is too time-consuming just stick to arch or ubuntu/ubuntu derivative.

    How interesting, thanks for your insight. I'll have to play with it sometime. I remember there was a poll on HN with a huge majority vote against AS; perhaps people confuse it with ActiveX and that's why they seem to dislike it so

    There is also http://hackerbra.in but I always use vanilla HN because I'm fond of it and the UI is pretty much the best for me. That said, it would be very cool if users could implement their own custom CSS natively like yo
