Thanks for posting this. Makes me feel slightly better since I will be coming out of college with only a decent degree.

That's not as helpful as you think.
Re:Ask HN: .com, .co, .me does it really matter? on Friday April 22, 2011 @09:20AM (#2473962)
The only sites I can name off the top of my head with .me are: about.me threewords.me

I can't name any .co sites.

I had the opportunity to buy a perfect domain name with my country's domain code but I decided against it. It would be confusing for anyone in a different country.

Funnily enough, I got a domain I wanted years ago because the owner had let it expire so I am delighted!

I have given it a long try and I hate it. It's so annoying.

No way. Groupon is going nowhere. I use coupon sites.. all of them. There are three different ones in my city and I use them all. If Google Offers opens here I will us it too.

Just wondering if it is standard practise.

It's a shame your sarcastic reply derailed the conversation.

There is a big problem with that. Your newsfeed instantly becomes more boring by being less diverse.
Re:When Facebook got my Mom fuming with anger on Wednesday April 20, 2011 @08:14PM (#2468954)
Wait, what was your mother angry about? Seeing a half naked man/woman or was it the content of your comment?

Can you explain how? I am a newbie to web development. I have been making sites locally on my machine and using heroku to deploy online. I am thinking of getting VPS hosting.
