I suspect that as with any large enough organisation there is a spectrum of competence across their workers, raging from high to low. I obviously have no proof that there isn't some big conspiracy afoot, but given the choice to bet on consp

Never attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by incompetence.

I hear you. I just think that people (particularly if those people are also developers) would appreciate it if they actually heard from the IE developers a bit more. It doesn't have to be to degree where it's interfering with your actual

That would be right assuming passwords were always encrypted - and we know that unfortunately even some of the biggest sites have been bitten by not encrypting passwords in their database[1] - but that's not actually the case I was thinking

I use pretty much the exact same system that you do and have done so for many years as well. Recently though, I'm starting to think I might try out the password management software route. I've haven't yet had a problem with any of my accoun

The value of what you're doing right here with your post shouldn't be overlooked. Just to know that you guys were around, listening and taking suggestions would have made a difference to my satisfaction with IE... were I still primarily a w

no 'target=' user preference so that external links could show up in another tab/window if so desired I have always seen a default option to open links in the same window as a small but definite signal that a site is more geared towards t

I just went to add the same link without realising it was already here, d'oh. It was also the first material I remember reading on form label placement and I found it to be a bit more enlightening (and better written) than the subject post

Looks cool. Will await its release with interest. There's no privacy information on your preview page. While I personally have faith that most people posting here on HN asking for feedback would not sell my email address to Russian gangster

I saw Moon and thought it was good too. I liked how it seemed to intentionally and quite successfully avoid every cliched direction the story could have taken. The only confusing bit is whether he was actually ever in the real world at all

I completely agree. I watched the movie thinking to myself every now and again "OK when's the full on mind fuck coming?" but it never really came, not for me anyway. Afterwards when I heard or read people talking about how confusing or hard

Perhaps your original intent would have been more immediately obvious if you had chosen a different animal that's also almost extinct, but not synonomous in people's minds with large size more so than the fact of their near extinction? Or w

@newsyc20 includes links to the story itself and the Hacker News comment page for that story. Sold! Not having links to the comments when following @newsycombinator always perturbed me.

I only got my first Mac about 12 months ago and I am really liking it. I too would be really sad if they leave OS X and it's traditionally associated hardware to languish. Oh well, I guess I could always go back to Linux or BSD for my prima

Please come to the video game industry :) There is always need of someone that knows MySQL, LAMP, etc. That's actually news to me... interesting. So there's still a lot of demand for web sites/apps created in support of games, or are thes

My father was fond of doing cryptic cross word puzzles. He told me that sometimes there'd be a particular clue that he just couldn't wrap his head around, but if he slept on it, the answer would often pop into his mind the next morning.

Thanks, will do.

Yeah, you're not the only one, but we seem pretty few and far between.

I can't claim to be an expert either, but for what it's worth I think you're pretty spot on there. In the realms of high fashion - along side the artistic considerations you describe - you're dealing primarily with the ideal of female beaut

Hypothesis: the typo "sl" is only common among left-handers. I shall have to add my vioce to the small left-handed chorus here and say that I too have never had an issue with the "sl" typo. In fact I cannot remember a single occasion wher

That said I'd almost, almost, switched to using python/django and then I had a look at MVC and it did everything I needed. I had almost convinced one of my ASP.Net developer friends who was well fed up with web forms to jump ship to Ruby

Now consider politics. Suppose you've got a bunch of people with different kinds of opinions. It might be the case that, over time, the objective truth (when there is one) influences their opinions. Good analysis. How do your observations

Usually at home, I see the little wifi symbol as it's hooking on to my router, but if I turn off wifi, your suspicion appears to be correct, I can see that it's on 2G at home. So yeah, that probably has a lot to do with the issue, thanks fo

It's probably time I upgrade my speakers, I've had them for some time now. It's a Klipsch 2.1 set from about 3 years ago. I was under the impression that Klipsch was a reasonably good quality brand, but I guess they're missing these ferrite

I have a 3GS and I find that I need to place it about a metre from my computer's speakers to avoid audible interference. All my previous phones have done this as well (last before the 3GS was a Sony Ericsson w800i), but they didn't need to

I always assumed it was because WebMynd appears to fulfill this function and WebMynd - being YC funded - understandably gets preference over some other way that a similar function could be provided. I don't know any of this sure sure though

Thanks. I try to use Power Point as little as possible, but I've noticed some font issues between Win and Mac versions of Word too. Not surprising I guess, but none the less annoying.
