Re:Jotly, the new app for sharing everything with everyone. on Friday November 04, 2011 @11:09AM (#3196318)
I agree with the message. We don't need Yet Another Social Network, for the only purpose of sharing with your friends.

Reminds me of this comic: http://xkcd.com/927/

Also great, the Minecraft version of Bohemian Rhapsody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qQHWP0GXg

I disagree about the keyboard. My thinkpad's laptop is much more confortable for me than full sized keyboards.
Re:Ask HN: Need help determining how to build my project on Monday May 16, 2011 @04:01PM (#2553939)
I think this question would be more appropiate in http://stackoverflow.com than here. Your doubts are pretty technical for the scope of this community.
Re:How can I use my MMO experience in my Resume on Wednesday April 27, 2011 @04:11PM (#2490910)
" For example, instead of saying your position was for a guild in EVE, state that it was a leadership role in a 2500+ strong online community. Emphasize the elements of the position that directly relate to the skills that a prospective employer would hire you for"

I couldn't have said it better

Re:How can I use my MMO experience in my Resume on Wednesday April 27, 2011 @04:01PM (#2490868)
I understand, and other players might understand. But the people who could read your resume and potentially hire you probably wouldn't.
Re:How can I use my MMO experience in my Resume on Wednesday April 27, 2011 @03:51PM (#2490809)
Even though your in-game experience could really have been helpful to your work skills, I think putting this in your resume might backfire, PR departments wouldn't take this seriously.
Re:Looking for Hosting For My Project in Ruby on Rails on Saturday April 16, 2011 @09:34AM (#2453927)
I'm just starting with Rails and I've found Heroku the easiest Rails hosting provider. They don't give you a shared server machine, you upload your application directly, and there's even a free usage tier if your app is low-traffic.

Using git, you just push the app to Heroku with your credentials and you're set.

Also, you can upgrade or downgrade the maximum performance as needed by the spikes of traffic so you never pay for more that you use.

Re:Poll: How do you manage passwords? on Thursday February 03, 2011 @10:17AM (#2174996)
Lastpass has freed me from generating complicated passwords and remembering them. It also syncs between all my browsers and even works in the iPhone.

I couldn't ask for more.

Re: on Thursday February 03, 2011 @09:54AM (#2174880)
You mean passwords?

If so, I've become very confortable with LastPass. There are even a lot of passwords I don't really know as they were automatically generated and are automatically filled-in

Re:The most mysterious Google ranking ever... on Friday January 14, 2011 @10:31AM (#2103815)
There was a similar ranking some months ago involving searching for "vatican" in Google http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/7931120/vatican-search...
Re:Taking pictures with your MacBook every time the lid opens on Monday January 10, 2011 @02:58PM (#2089536)
Pretty neat. Is there any way to do this on Windows? I'd like to try a similar experiment with my Thinkpad
Re:Falling in love will cost you two close friends on Friday September 17, 2010 @07:27PM (#1703182)
Sorry, I meant TRUE close friends. Done.

Close friends will be there for you even if you don't see them as frequently as before.
Re:Firefox 4 with lots of speed improvements and inline SVG on Friday July 02, 2010 @01:32PM (#1481714)
Thank you very much for such an informative comment.
Re:Firefox 4 with lots of speed improvements and inline SVG on Thursday July 01, 2010 @02:49PM (#1478865)
Could you post the link for the download? I can only find 3.6.4 build 7
Re:Mozilla's Firefox Sync client submitted to Apple App Store on Wednesday June 30, 2010 @08:15PM (#1476627)
This looks promising. Firefox could win me back from Chrome with this addition.

Currently, syncing bookmarks with Mobile Safari if you use any other browser than IE or Safari (in Windows), is very unconfortable.

Re:1Gbps connection now costs $26 a month in Hong Kong on Monday April 19, 2010 @01:22PM (#1277286)
We pay around US$35 for 3mbps in Argentina. And you only get that speed from 12am-9pm. THIS is depressing.

    Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
    I see no reason
    Why the Gunpowder Treason
    Should ever be forgot.
