I think "trolls" are absolutely necessary and wouldn't support banning any of them. I see I got downvoted (probably by someone who identifies themselves with the current propaganda cycle) but I'm pretty sure I'm cor

You are correct, it won't affect the omnipresent Google because virtually everyone has visited their domain at some point. This will target alternatives to Google, leaving us with one company to do effective advertising. How is this in the

It lowers their income by forcing them to succumb to non-targeted advertising which is less effective and brings less money. I'd love to see your ideas of a free and secure web without marketing money flowing into content provider websites.

Not being given looks by people passing by is exactly the reaction headscarves, burqas and other similar garments are supposed to produce. They represent chastity and modesty, and showing off your bodily features definitely doesn't fall int

So if you want to search for something on TV, which GoogleTV is supposed to enable you to do, how would you do that using Apple's three-button remote? I have an idea about a prayer and Steve Jobs, but wouldn't elaborate on it. I think the b

This has simply not been true for me. I participated in DV lottery for quite a few years, and later on had multiple visits to US Embassy and never have had any kind of problems with getting my visas approved whatsoever. I think your friend

Zoltan was operating in central Serbia (not even in its southern part Kosovo). NATO bombers (USA bombers in this instance, really) were attacking Serbia, and Zoltan was a soldier operating in his own country, defending it against enemy aggr

Macedonians have never been at war with Serbia. We have traditionally been allies, mostly because we share the same orthodox religion. I will assume you have limited knowledge of what really happened in Balkans in the end of 20th century, s

They say that a design is perfect when there is nothing else left to remove. I think this guy successfully stripped Twitter naked down to its bare essence. Perfect!

I underwent surgical procedure and removed a pilonidal cyst located at my lower back. Because of the surgery I was under heavy dose of pain killers, and could not sit, stand or lie on my back. So I had to implement a "will take only 15 minu

As someone who is doing programming nearly 90% of my working hours, and someone who used all three major systems (OS X, Vista, Linux), I would suggest you go with a computer that is giving you highest raw metal power for the buck. If you ar

Nobody I know quit smoking by "reducing" it. It's always either you do smoke, or you don't. I am 28 and have been smoking since I was 16, have "quit" two times counting something close to three years combined, but have obviously returned to

This question might sound ridiculous to majority of people commenting here, but why are you making the site boring instead of trying to improve its performance (putting additional hardware, ditching Arc, whatever)?

Although I'm more of a user than a contributor to HN, I have to (generally) disagree to the practice of banning blogs such as CodingHorror, Joel Spolsky etc. I simply think that the practice of banning will lead to elitism, which will event

Well over the macbook (not mbpro) price point - and for a reason. I don't think Macbook could ever compare to Thinkpad T61/T500 for some serious development. Ever. Macbook Pro is another story, with another price tag too :)
