Only if the company consists of people who aren't developers. For a while google didn't even allow windows on site, and if you look at stackoverflow statistics you'll see that Linux has as much usage as OS X amongst programme

Look very closely at the usernames. We are not the same person, just similar usernames (the other one has two 'v's). Not associated with the other poster at all, it's just a coincidence. I also don't think it's the

I'm afraid I don't understand what it is you're asking. If you could clarify I'd be glad to go into the details of my "deal".

I don't understand all the defending of Pao on HN. She was pretty clearly in the wrong and there is not much evidence to the contrary. It's counter-productive to the cause of gender equality to continue to defend her.

Maybe if people were given a set amount of downvotes they could use per day it might make them think more before using them? And maybe they could "earn" more downvote power by receiving upvotes, this could create incentive for dow

This gave me a good chuckle, but as the first comment in the thread states, this would be pretty hard to do without the admin password. If this is real, then I'd say all the blame is on the owner of the computer for having it in a stat

Can you provide a link to HNs source? Last I heard it was closed (but open for a while before that). I checked the FAQ and didn't see any info.

I'm non-participatory when it comes to voting most of the time. I'll usually upvote people who reply to my comments in agreeance with me. I don't have the ability to downvote yet, but if I did I think I would mostly downvote

Why can't they use the command line at all? My first job was at a call center where we trained literally anyone who applied to use command line DOS to take orders for sausage over the phone. This took three days to teach these people h

Until I was about 14 years old I always thought craftsman and other words ending in "man" were based of the word "human". Even the word "woman" has "man" in it. Can we stop pretending these words are

If someone doesn't want to work for your company because you used the word "craftsman" instead of "craftsperson", then it sounds like you just dodged a bullet. These types of people bring nothing of value to any com

This is a little off topic but maybe someone who knows more about this than I do can chime in and give me some links to studies on this: What is the possibility of creating a biological computational device and are there currently efforts t

The problem is that I go to a mental-health center and because of my financial situation they only charge me three dollars a visit. I'm going to look for other doctors, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find another health

Marijuana helps me concentrate though. It slows down my thoughts enough to let me process them. I would have gladly accepted this answer from him, but he refused to talk about it. I live in a state where marijuana is highly illegal and havi

Off topic, but I was diagnosed with ADHD about 10 years ago, been taking methylphenidate ER ever since. Throughout the years I have had over ten different doctors at the same location and I informed each doctor that I was a marijuana user.

The same people who seem to hate open source culture are the ones saying we should be accepting of all cultures. It's hard to take them seriously, especially since "open source" is made up of all demographics by its very natu

So it's pretty obvious all the other comments in this thread were made by accounts created in the last hour, and I assume that's what the upvotes are from. Finally I have seen real life shills.

Immortal Linux would probably get more installs - a package that prevents common malicious commands from working without first warning you of the consequences.

Love me some NOVA. Got me interested in science as a kid. My favorite episode is probably the one with the Bose-Einstein condensate. Sucks it looks like their website only supports flash.

When I use to dual boot windows I never updated and always "restarted" by just holding the power button down (stupid, yes I know, but it's the only way to reboot it as fast as I'm used to when booted into Linux). Never i

If the NSA were to go around shouting "look look you're insecure!! Get more secure!" Then yes I would support it. It doesn't do that though.

That's exactly what they want you to do. Don't try to form any sort of counter argument against them or you'll immediately be painted as a racist, bigoted, misogynist. And if you use your real name they'll attempt ruin y
