I think that's good advice, and I would like to send it along also to the tiny-minded portion of users here on HN who campaign personal, pityful battles on others by systematically downvoting their posts for no apparent reason, as well

I think it's also referring to the phenomenon as it exists today in every single online multi-player game that features open PVP as well as closed battleground type PVP, not just StarCraft. The "zerg", as it was commonly known to all player

So, can you offer me and everyone else a nice job that makes all of this possible? That makes it possible to NOT be a cog? Or is this just another set of advice that only the privileged ones can afford to heed...

"Intolerable for real-world use. A toy language. Alas, PHP, we hardly knew you..." Have you been out on the internet the past decade? Do you have a tendency to make extremities of things and trying to stand the needle on its tip?

I like the idea a lot. It's brilliant. Regarding the removal of the app- and music sharing feature, I noticed that it was the number one complaint and reason for a 1-star review in the app store, and then I saw this on their website: Q. Wh

Standard response from fundamentalists - they can only see their own reasoning, but fail to get a perspective of everything else around them. (re: gpl license advocates, political extremists, muslims etc.)

Please explain to everyone how this, http://stallman.org/amazon.html , is just instructive (useful/informational). There's plenty more.

"Why the nerve, living a life different than I would choose!? IT MUST BE STOPPED." Hm, is it just me or doesn't that sound like the agenda RMS is trying to push down everyone else's throat regarding their choices in personal computing?

It's like it was still 1980 around him. To me, freedom also includes choosing what I feel like and what I desire, and allowing myself to move with the times rather than against, instead of fooling myself that I strike a blow for freedom by

"...if the last instruction..." I know this sounds like nitpicking, but that mistake right there has caused many a 6502 emulators to produce erroneous results. The 6502 core's status register is resident and the flags in it are changed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Novocaine still an abstraction layer that interfaces with Core Audio (I haven't had a moment to look at the sources yet)? I understand that it's simpler to deal with, but how is it more "high-performant" t

Couldn't agree more. The whole mentality in the OS X developer world glows of such a strong focus on usability and UI design, while, for some reason I cannot understand, the Windows and Linux world is mostly the diametrical opposite. This w

I took a leap of faith from Windows to OS X as my main desktop OS back in late 2004, before it was "trendy" to use products by Apple - and long before users of Apple products began being referred to as "Applefags". I haven't looked back on

I started at age 8 or 9 on my VIC-20. This was in 1988-89. Later I got a C-64 followed by the Amiga models, and found my way to assembler and along with that a fundamental understanding of how computers work, what's possible and what's not,
