Let's wait for the official answer, but I also include my take. Maybe because of the community growth. When I began to hang out around here, 6 months before I created an account I believe, 40 upvotes was a huge amount for a post or a commen

I do not care about WebM or H.264 since I dislike both, my comment will concern the license and the situation. WebM have a Apache style license, you can grab the source, fork it and develop your codec, and you're not even obligated to open

I think this is bad for HTML 5 video in the short run, but I do not care about it anymore, I wished that everyone supported Theora, and then switched to Dirac in the future, but Apple and Google made me give up of my hopes. However in the l

It's not a secret, it's in the guidelines.

I wouldn't say that there are spam in the submissions, probably the vast majority of HNers does not go to new page, so it really does not affect the vast majority. Even though it does ignored the last recommendation on submission guidelines

I think it's a problem when your project goes international. You have to choose a language to communicate with the larger community. Some countries do not have this problem, the Anglo-Saxon world can communicate with a common language, they

Sorry, only now I saw your comment, I believe that's not the case. The Debian Installer (I belive it uses busybox) includes both dhclient and ip.

30 - For Linux users, learn how to use ip (and the tools included in iproute2) instead of using ifconfig, which is part of net-tools, they are deprecated. A good resource for that: http://andys.org.uk/bits/2010/02/24/iproute2-life-after-if

Is it not simple to write a reply, like samdk did, instead of downvoting?

I can see the value of RVM for developers, running the same code against various gemsets and versions of Ruby, I used it this way, but not for deployment, why not simply compile everything necessary by hand, install the necessary gems, say

I would love if the Orthodox were divided by background, i.e. Arabs, Greeks, Russians, Romanians, etc. But maybe I'm asking too much.

Some countries have a linguistic policy that limits this, European Portuguese (this is not generally the case in Brazilian Portuguese), Icelandic and French for example.

OS X is not perfect, the real problem for me is that some people just think it is My main problem with OS X is that Alt + D (plus Alt + B and Alt + F) just don't work as it should, like in any sane Terminal, there's no difference between Al

True, but it's a 4 years old machine, I do not know about you, but I do expect that a Workstation will be supported for 5 years at least, maybe this got lost in the world in which a guy buys a iPhone every year, back them Apple had no iOS d

Well, there was an effort in developing the Xserve line as well, apparently it was no problem for Apple to throw the entire Xserve effort in the trash bin. I think Apple will put less emphasis on the Mac in the next years, simplifying the l

Well, that same decision from some users in 1995 made Microsoft what it was in the later 90's and early 00's. EDIT: And still is in the corporate market.
