Your experience is not atypical, and it's been a struggle to win over ThinkUp contributers who've been around for awhile to the idea of spending time in IRC because of it. But just like the larger Internet, it all depends on where you go. T

Sounds like you and pigbucket up there should have a chat. (Re: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1685161 if you hadn't seen.)

Bluntly, I assume he's implying it's an appropriate parallel to the relationship between Oracle and its customers, as described in the post. (I may be reading into it too much.)

Reading the headline, that was exactly my hope. The details make that appear unlikely, but it may be the result regardless.

This basically makes Chrome a machine-independent development platform, right? They might actually pull off this web apps store idea.

Gosh, this is silly! You don't even have Excel listed. Amateurs! (The Oracle < $1m answer is a RIOT.)

There is no reason for someone who has read your first book to buy the Guide, correct? This is a reduced and reformatted field guide that contains no information that isn't in the larger Git book? (I'm almost finished reading your first boo

I've been pondering how to solve this too. Bought a domain for it recently but haven't decided what form it should take. The CRM angle is one I hadn't thought of, though it's kind of an obvious leap (in hindsight of course). I've been think

Yup. I think I actually played it more often as a door/chain on some local BBSs. (Still, from my 8088.)

Among other context splitting, I make regular use of virtual desktops. So there are rarely more than one or two browser windows on one desktop, and anything beyond the primary window has a short lifespan. Read it Later looks perfect; thanks

"Worse, how many of us keep tabs open as reminders of something we want to do or read later?" Indeed I do. One of these days I'll get around to adding an extension that allows me to queue links without opening them in tabs. Anyway, I don't

Reminds me of finding out the hard way that "paste" is bound to Mouse3 by default in Gnome and that on some mice I'll occasionally scroll the wheel violently enough to trigger clicks. Took a few times of finding random text in my code to re

Hilarious. I read bits of the letter to my wife this morning as she dashed about before work (she ordered her iPhone 4 a few days ago) and after the bit about bar display I said "the subtext here is that this is AT&T's fault!" The blame

It really isn't enough that _why's legacy be restricted to the things he made. What he contributed was so much more than software. This is the most fitting tribute I've yet seen and I'm very glad someone thought of it.

Looks similar. I'd never heard of Rupture before but it's funny to see that Fanning had a similar notion. Not something I'd have expected.

Solving my own need is definitely the inspiration, though honestly I don't game much anymore (certainly not as much as I used to!) The younger net-native generation is no doubt resistant to paying for a service of this kind. The obvious str

An idea I've been sitting on for awhile is social networking intended for the fabricated and fractured identities of online gamers, with or without divulging the player's true identity. A social network of this kind would be a natural place

For the first time, I wish I could mark a HN comment as "favorite".

You mixed up the thread :) I'd swear there wasn't a reply link under your post at the time.

He's definitely looking for attention here, otherwise why post an open letter ? No doubt. I stated that badly. It would have been better stated as "hadn't looked for any attention" or "hasn't looked for glory". To me he's not just seriou

Network of friends = lock in, lock in => abuse Bingo! Facebook is the best available means of keeping up with geographically distributed and loosely connected friends and family, which was the core conflict I faced when I decided I di

For my day job, Eclipse + PDT due to a number of quirks in the dev environment. Otherwise I'm using Vim exclusively, and hope to someday be pretty good with it. ;^) When I was on Windows I used EditPlus and still advocate it for Windows use

I actually used Nano for a long time as well! I'd been using Pine since 1994 so it always felt quite natural. If Vim wasn't always available when Nano was, I'd still use it. ;^)

I wish there was some magic to this, but it's just a static entry in the wish list that doesn't reflect any changes that may occur to the offering after adding it. I didn't think much of that until I noticed myself automatically skipping pa

No problems here. Ordered ~23:30 Pacific and immediately had access to my purchases. Not sure if this may have something to do with it, but I'd ordered a few ebooks from them before. Maybe the backlog has to do with setting up new accounts?

Pretty sure I don't care to do that. Anyway, downvoters, the quotes were an actual answer. It was probably some very minor detail that escaped notice until downstream effects (low price cap) made it evident. Without more information it's a
