Re:Ask HN: So why is it that usernames are always 5 characters or more? on Tuesday April 17, 2012 @09:26AM (#3852437)

I think that is because that under 5 chars, there is not that many usernames.

It would also be odd with a username on only 1 char?

Hey hackersI am standing for buying a new keyboard, but finding it difficult to find a really good one.One thing I find is that many keyboards has numbers on them, which i never use, and i just makes the keyboard look more chunky.I really like the Logitech Dinovo Edge - slim, good keys and looks good But it is some years old and use Bluetooth, the unify Ghz from logitech is a more seamless...

Re:Ask HN: Idea - Dropbox, Pay for what you use on Sunday March 25, 2012 @03:06PM (#3753456)

sorry, I meant as i new product for advanced people, dropbox should not do it, that would be stupid.

I just miss a service, where I pay for what i use, and I would then hear if hackers also wanted that? or they where just fine with dropbox two packages :)

I really like dropbox and think it is really smart.I know they use Amazon S3 to store the data, so I have been thinking; They have to pay for the exact resourcesse that has been used, but the end user has a unlimited account with 50 GB. That means the prices has to cover the expensive, whether you are a heavy user or somebody who just store photos and do not touch it.I then search the internet...

Re:Update: Looking for Technical Cofounder in San Francisco on Thursday March 15, 2012 @07:43AM (#3707926)

What your asking for is not something you can find on the internet, that has to be found with real connections! You have to go out and meet people, the right people! Hackathon, meetings!

If you do ask on the internet, you should show what you have done before or something you have made. A website about your yourself. Saying you have an idea, that is in fact not that much.

Ideas are nothing, execution is everything!

Good luck on your adventures! :)

Hi hackersJust a question i have, which I think i have the answer to but I would like to hear your opinion!Can you store the users password in a safe way and still be able to send it to your users, if they use a "forgot password" function?I am asking this because a danish company send it to me in clear text, and when i confronted them that they should hash password, they said in a rude way that...

Hey hackersI would like to hear yours opinions about if you should buy the macbook pro or air? We are talking 13"I am a little bit split: The air has a bigger screen resolution - 13" They have the same graphicsThere is a difference of .7 Ghz between. It is that big a difference?The Air has a clearly faster I/O with the SSD.What do you think?

Re:[email protected] is a real email address on Tuesday November 22, 2011 @04:44AM (#3264833)

I have the solution for you there:

If your email is [email protected]

Then your can use as many '.' and filter it out.

You will also receive emails sendt too [email protected]

[email protected]

Gmail ignores punktum. Thats smart!

Re:Ask HN: Why all these funding of filesharings sites? on Sunday November 06, 2011 @06:59AM (#3202440)

I can see what you mean about the filesystem of the future, but as it is a lot of these sites are only online for desktops, dropbox is the only one for ios, and is only doing a descent job.

Re:Ask HN: Why all these funding of filesharings sites? on Sunday November 06, 2011 @06:51AM (#3202427)

There is a reason why Law firms sends by snail mail, and I think if they choose to store it online, i do not think they will trust it to a other company, that they do not own, they will either make there own service or use branche-organisation product.

Re:Ask HN: Why all these funding of filesharings sites? on Saturday November 05, 2011 @07:26PM (#3201235)

I just think the same as you with the YouSendIt, they really did not come anywhere. And these sites(mention above) are only online as it is right know.

It just men there is slot of filetering sites, like rapidshare, megadownload, and i could go on forever, so why are these websites getting funded, when there already are tons of filesharing sites and app free. And filesharing is not that complicated, upload -> store -> share.. But as mention above, they are properly trying to be the hun for other programs.
