That approach didn't really work out in the dotcom era. Of course, in some cases it would make greater turnout, but it is an expensive experiment.

I saw it earlier on reddit, and when I noticed it on hn, I was about to flag it for being yet another trash story copied from reddit, but then I saw that it already got 15 votes. I must be too young for this, but I did't find it funny, insi

The idea is really nice, but I'm not sure it would work on the OP's Joe, who probably wouldn't even care about the hypothetical language and would regard the whole concept hypothetical, only for those who have way too much free time. (With

Roger Penrose is not merely saying that quantum mechanics is wrong. Instead it would be more fair to say that he views quantum mechanics as an incomplete theory, and one that should be continually challenged. That's how every scientific t

Wow, apparently I expressed my point poorly, as you guys seem to pick up that I'm advertising how awesome I am and how I kick GS' ass on the markets. What I wanted to say is that it's hard to find an index that went down during Q3 so those

I haven't lost any money on investments in 3 years, and I'm nowhere near being an educated economist. With a diversified portfolio, I could always find an equity to sell above the buying price when I needed money, and this way I could ride

It's not as bad as it sounds, basically great many of the http://git.kernel.org/ repos are actual forks of the kernel, regularly pulling changes from vanilla, resolving the occasional conflicts and maintaining/developing their own patches

Gnome and KDE has their own window managers, namely Metacity and KWin. These can be replaced by other window managers, like Xmonad, and you can still use the Gnome/KDE infrastructure and utilities just as nicely.

I have always had the habit of quickly editing the query if the top 5 results aren't what I was looking for, up to the point where I don't even really think about it, just adding some more keywords or sprinking a couple pluses, minuses or q

Right, although there are options to combine the two. Shader language can be used to write raytracers running entirely on the GPU, rendering the output to merely two textured triangles streched over the screen. However as we are talking abo

If by being modeled you are asking whether objects are used in C++ as in Java/C#, then I would say yes, maybe even more so. Of course in C++ there is a possibility to use it as a "C with some more stuff" language, and unfortunately it is us
