Can someone explain in plain talk what Plan 9 is and does? Thanks...

Ask HN: Please help me find out the major flaw in my last project

I've done several websites in my lifetime but this one is proving to be the hardest yet.It's not a problem to change or work to add something new, I've redesigned the website several times now. I've never done a website for apartment rentals before, but I didn't expect it to be this hard. It didn't convert any adwords potential user until now (i.e. visitors don't book any apartments), and I...

Did someone removed this from the main page?... so very strange... I guess it may have been flagged by several users. :\
Re:The Evolution of Privacy on Facebook on Saturday May 08, 2010 @10:26AM (#1330200)
What made Facebook great at first, is what is missing now...
I think a good idea for a new Facebook would be to start at some big University college and build up from there...
Re:British Election Results in Hung Parliament on Friday May 07, 2010 @07:15AM (#1327203)
Now both Labour and Conservative will need Lib.Dems, hopefully this will make electoral reform a possibility.
Sorry, but after what they did when they closed the free private accounts some time ago, I ain't going to touch it again.

I love this kind of comments... it's like UK and France were talking about Germany before WW2 :))
Re:Windows Phone 7 Series Features Video on Tuesday February 16, 2010 @04:01PM (#1129862)
I'll be honest it looks like Facebook OS for phones :) Not bad, not bad at all. Still though, imho, Microsoft will lose most of the old Windows Mobile fans and users and will start from scratch with this one.

They are probably holding back features for next generations of iPad... launched in a year or so after the first one (it could have a camera also)
Re:Hey psst, wanna know your HN #userid ? on Friday January 22, 2010 @06:53AM (#1069520)
I'm #45... quite a proudful number :) It's kind-of nice to compare two id numbers with the number of days ago that the accounts were created in, to see how many registered during that period.
Re:Firefox 3.6 Released on Thursday January 21, 2010 @04:16PM (#1068343)
Why do chrome users have the need to keep telling us how they switched on every firefox story... please, we get it... good luck with chrome already.
Re:Thesixtyone (YC W09) launches version 2.0 on Thursday January 21, 2010 @05:12AM (#1066997)
It feels a bit claustrophobic to me... also I don't know how to just browse songs, and most things I touch change my current song... I think you can get used to it though.

Re:Google Chrome more popular than Safari on Wednesday December 16, 2009 @12:57PM (#999294)
I bet the Youtube link on all pages that promote Google Crome helped it more then all the ads for Safari for example.
Re:GDB 7.0 released on Thursday October 08, 2009 @12:27PM (#869317)
Cool. Visual Studio 2010 was supposed to do that also, I'm glad to hear GDB already has it.
Re:Checking out of 'Hotel America' on Monday August 03, 2009 @03:11PM (#739891)
When I've been to USA I was surprised how much religion is used as a business (not that they say that themselves), "free market" churches are much more radical and aggressive in nature and marketing. Also, "churches" in Europe are hardly that active and much more tolerant and unintrusive.
Re:Checking out of 'Hotel America' on Monday August 03, 2009 @02:45PM (#739820)
Actually, I've been to USA for quite a lot of times (in which I stayed for several months) and came back with no problem… America is a place of extremes, be those good or bad. So getting back home is very easy if you consider the bad stuff, like the high criminality in some places (looking at CSI just doesn’t feel the same as when I lived in Europe), the religious towns where Jesus is some kind of money making superstar, the wasteful mentality, the obscene hospitalization prices etc. But of course for all the bad stuff there is an equally extremely good side, like the openness of people, the energy and get things done attitude, be it having a block party on top of an apartment building in NY queens in 5 minutes to starting an NGO or a firm, the by and large hardworking people, the creativity of the place is quite high also etc.

Re:RSS Subscribers or Twitter Followers: Which Are Worth More? on Saturday August 01, 2009 @04:25PM (#736624)
Also if RSS is integrated in the browser (e.g. like in Opera) users are always notified and they are more up to date. While on Twitter accounts may be checked a lot more sporadic.
Re:Can you trust TechCrunch enough to share their stories? on Saturday August 01, 2009 @03:50PM (#736582)
I can't believe everyone on TechCrunch can't see the difference between "highest percentage increase in green house gases" and "worst greenhouse gas emitters"... are they that foolish...

Of course countries that emitted few greenhouse gases have a higher percentage increase because any slight variation is a big one, while USA who is a mammoth when it comes to greenhouse will logically have small percentage changes because it's already huge (similar with GDP changes, 1% of GDP increase in USA is equivalent with 380% of GDP in Sweden for example and so on... btw, bogus numbers just to exemplify).
