If it is entirely out of the blue and you have nothing in particular to discuss, it might come across a bit weird or creepy. Expanding your social circle is probably a great start though.
I completely agree. As much as I hate videos that play automatically, your intro was inoffensive enough that I listened until it got interesting. On a side note, why do you have invite only on? Best of luck whichever…
Given the direction in which governments seem to be moving, it's probably more relevant now than it was then.
I enjoyed reading the article, and I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't here on HN. If it shouldn't be here (according to the HN community) it wouldn't be sitting at the top of the news page.
Who voted this down and why? Down-voting is not a tool through which you demonstrate your disagreement with someone's opinion.
The headline "The Age of Music Piracy Is Officially Over" really bothers me for some reason. It should be "The Age of Music Piracy Is Over According to Some Columnist".
I don't agree with Eil's comment at all, but that is no reason to vote his comment down. Comment voting is to make interesting comments more prominent and to remove noise, not to banish unpopular opinions. I don't…
I've only spent about a week in India (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur). It was a good trip, but not necessarily 'fun'. If there is one thing I learnt (as a caucasian), it is that anyone who talks to you on the street (who…
I've never heard of Hunch before, but just yesterday I was actually thinking that it'd be nice if a tool just like it existed. However, the first thing I thought when I saw their website was "this looks like too much…
I think plenty of people said the same thing about the Wii. It is fun so long as games use the interaction as a constructive part of the game. There are plenty of fun multiplayer games on the Wii that just wouldn't work…
I've tried a number of methods (mostly for work-related todos) and nothing really worked perfectly. I find that I go through phases of needing a list versus doing what is on my mind. Each phase can last a week or a…
Thanks for the info
Does anyone have any experience with Mono on macs?
Compared to what? Your comment is like saying "A house is bigger."
I would find it quite tempting to destroy it, but I guess that satisfaction wouldn't be worth the opportunity cost.
StackOverflow is my first port of call when I run into a programming problem that I can't solve. I've started mucking around with Unity 3d (a game engine) and was quite relieved when I found a solid StackExchange forum…
I think they mean time of day, not altitude. Makes more sense without the comma.
It's not waking up that's hard; the problem is getting to sleep. The symptoms in the article definitely apply to me (and I'm working on resolving them). Yesterday I woke up much earlier than I'd like (via alarm clock)…
Without understanding the language, I get the impression that the author prizes a low line count over readability.
They give the masses what they want; rubbish is much easier to watch than real news.
Actually, HP recently changed their tagline to "Create Amazing". It's a pretty good indication of where HP has gone. I quit HP early this year (around 18 months after I joined HP in an aquisition). After that…
Perhaps the driver's license was fake. Either way, it's a shame we have to live with people who do these kinds of things. After having my car broken into multiple times and eventually stolen, and home broken into…
I never said I disagreed with you; just mentioning that there are probably plenty of solutions and this was my experience under a different system.
Perhaps "they" could see how higher education is funded in other countries. I finished a decent four year software engineering degree a few years ago here in Australia and it set me back around AU$18k. That debt is CPI…
In addition to that, I get tired of the channel 9 commentators pretending that every moment of whatever they're watching is a dramatic historic event. Can't we just enjoy it for what it is without all the crap? It also…
