It's really depressing seeing HN use HTML5 as incorrectly as my managers...

There's a lot of hard work required as well but that advice has worked for many people including myself.

Everyone says you "must" go to college? I don't think so...

Hasn't Adobe done both?

I disagree, Ars Technica is one of the least biased tech blogs I've found. If anything they're biased against Apple. Like it or not the products sucks and runs Android.

I'm not even aware of how to support blind accessibility in Flash but if it does have adequate support, how can you blame the platform and not the developers? It's like blaming Flash for making advertisements too easy to create.

I'm just curious, what characteristics of this boat make it a kayak and not a canoe? He seems to call it both and some of the indigenous "canoes" look very similar.

I agree that healthiness of a home cooked meal is probably going to be better than something you order. I'm not sure about serving size though but then again I only cook for my wife and I. We always have leftovers that end up feeding us fo

I cook because I enjoy it and because it saves me money. Yesterday morning I cooked and froze 8 breakfast burritos that put McDonald's to shame. Today I spent all of 15 seconds throwing it in the microwave and didn't have to worry about d

Some HN users motivation for side projects is to impress other HN users, "make something really impressive". Others are trying to make money and this is how Kreci succeeded (a la Notch).

Public-key cryptography. The update server could send a signature along with the update package and the software would check the update contents to make sure the signature matches.

Even though I'm not supposed to agree with you disagreeing with what should be on HN, I do.

I'm sorry but looking at packets on an unsecured network is in no way "hacking". Even cracking a WPA network and using a MITM attack is trivial with all the tools and tutorials available.

Adobe isn't jumping ship on Flash, it's still a viable product with a place on the internet.

Interesting how the 3rd to last frame breaks the transparency of the hiding content. The blue arrow seems to be back to fully opaque.

I dislike iTunes because it's so bloated and memory hungry (unless it changed changed over the years). I use Foobar2k to do the same thing, load up and just play music.

HTML 5 and Line Rider can both be considered innovative. Remaking Line Rider in HTML 5 isn't innovative.

Microsoft isn't stupid. They won't make Flash Windows only and they won't make Flash Windows Phone 7 only.

I used to think that as well until I read about "Infiminer", the open sourced XNA Minecraft predecessor. Now I think he just saw an opportunity. http://minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Infiniminer

So using "my" is lazy, sucks, and bad style but "your" is natural, friendly, and easy to maintain. I don't get it.

I'm a twenty something and this article embarrasses me. I'm a hard working financially independent person who busted my ass and am getting by just fine. Despite what your mommy and daddy told you, life's tough. I know more people like my

Overall I thought it was great. I went through about 20 questions and got them all right. I also went through them about twice as fast as Captchas and I probably would have missed a few too. I agree with the other posters though that it n

His comment meant that 20-somethings shouldn't be disallowed from flying nuclear bombers due to age alone. In other words, if your friend somehow finished training in 5 years but wasn't allowed due to being less than 30 years of age.

That sounds wonderful but unfortunately doesn't apply to everyone.

I created some AOL "progs" in VB6 that did stupid stuff like scroll in the chat and faded your text different colors.

I've also suffered from the same problem. I'm very interested in my project and motivated to do it but some days I just can't. I've found one thing that can change my day from zero productivity to 100% is a todo list. I just write down o
