Q: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" A: "Walk! It's only 50 meters — that's about a 30-second stroll. Driving that distance would barely warm up the engine, and you&#x2

Decent mobile support is the only thing holding me back from switching. The current 3rd party options are underwhelming.

It does sound like the best option available. Is anyone out there aware of a solution that currently exists (and is available to people like you and I?). Reddit has made it easy to embed comments on a site since last year: https:/&#x2

I think out of everyone you've really hit the nail here. It's about starting a movement, and taking the platform in a direction it's been needing to go to for a long time. The collaborative nature of open source should grow around this proj

This was incredibly insightful. How long ago do you think it all changed? Do you think it's a function of the size that Google has grown to?

The blog stated something along the lines that they couldn't sell it, because there was no apparent way to monetize it.

It's also solved the images thing too, letting us choose what we see outside of simple text. These people think subscribing to a service makes things easier on us, when in the end it's just making things more complicated, and honestly it's

Thanks for that. In future I'll check profiles.

So you're saying a decent article on your own blog posted twice a week is enough to pay utilities and rent + some insurance? That's pretty impressive, to me at least. How do you monetise your blog? Just through ads? What kind of ads? I've b

I sincerely hope that's the last time I hear "lolz" on HN, too.

In large companies they are necessary to maintain some form of control, just so you don't have your IT department running around fixing computers all day, but not to this extent. What you're dealing with are technically-challenged control f

I'm similar to you. Australian (Sydney), 21, Uni student, tight budget. E-books are great, but as others have said, just start fiddling. I won't tell you what to do, because I'm still quite inexperienced and other advice in this thread will

It always amazes me how _we_ control our body for the most part, and yet so much of it remains a mystery.

While I see the point you are trying to make I disagree. You can't possibly think that music and video as mediums have not played their part in fighting for or against certain causes.

Nearly 2 years ago I started using Google Reader. I signed up for a few great feeds and read it every morning and every night. Over the following months I signed up to more and more feeds, eventually to the point where my reader was flooded

Likewise. I dualbooted my laptop during the BETA, but as soon as RC came out and I knew it would be a stable and was supported by updates (as opposed to needing to reinstall a new release every few weeks) I moved entirely to 7. Since then I

I wish I could downmod submissions. Fuck TechCrunch. It's tabloid crap.

What I find more troubling is this notion that variety (or fragmentation as they call it) is bad. They very clearly state it is an OS geared for low-resource netbook style computers, where browsers are up and running within seconds of press

I really wish this was available in Australia. All the alternatives are too messy and clunky, or don't hook into my bank easily.
