Well every feminist I've ever gotten into a debate with eventually links to the "geek feminism wiki" as some kind of irrefutable source of proof of misogyny when in reality anyone and everyone can edit it. This article isn&#x

You're not really refuting any of his points, you only compared it to "MRA literature" to deflect from having to actually form a counter argument. It's the same as when the "MRAs" compare feminism to nazism. &g

Personally I feel like wikileaks is doing more good than bad. I'm glad people are getting upset over this. >If we decide that it's up to thieves to decide what we do or do not get to keep private in our own lives, then we'

What I'm worried about is that the internet could become like radio, requiring anyone who wants to broadcast (hook up a server) to obtain a license to do so. All people have the right to connect as many devices as they want to

What does it realistically mean if this judge finds that marijuana is improperly scheduled? Does marijuana become default legal? Does it defer to the state laws? Does the process of re-scheduling start? etc.

It's also not an interesting idea because it will never get off the ground. It's like one of those businesses that go on that TV show with the billionaires who bid on their ideas (forget the title). You pretty much never really he

That's just it, I wouldn't. This seems only useful for people who are maybe just too busy to do it them selves and have enough disposable income that paying a couple extra bucks to the guy handling your business isn't a big d

I hate to say it but I think the average person just doesn't care, even a lot of HNers don't really think it's a big deal. I personally think it's time for a revolution or at least mass social upheaval. Politicians prett

I don't get it either. The only one that got me was that you have to scale some decimal numbers to whole numbers to multiply them. 0.1 * 0.2 //0.020000000000000004 But this has never caused issue for me except when t

I think most people on HN using FF are running nightly versions, I know I was. The nightly versions of FF have always had the edge on Chrome, but I think it's just recently that the stable version of FF has really gotten pretty much on

I'd just like to say that I don't like the idea of limiting people just because of low karma or whatever. A lot of people do get downvoted just for having ideas that don't "go with the group" even though they&#x27

It sounds like you were running Linux on hardware that wasn't Ubuntu certified. This is like complaining about how hard it is to get OS X up and running when installing on a Dell, but I see where you're coming from and realize thi

He has a really good point though, you can't just dismiss it with no counter argument. The "windows way" involves a UI specific to one OS, the *nix way can usually be applied to any UNIX like OS, of which there are far more o

What carrots does Windows have that Linux doesn't besides a larger variety of software? Linux is used in far more circumstances than Windows and is just as capable as windows when it comes to 99% of tasks. Buy Linux on an Ubuntu cert

Well, using your logic, Linux has already surpassed OS X: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=linux%2C OS X&cmpt=q&tz= Anyway, Ubuntu works fine on most laptops. We can safely say it works across more hardwa

How smart would you have to be to insert references to different cultural aspects other than your own to make it look as if it's from another entity? I think it would take at least the smartness of two average people..
