Normally, I'd say he'd be pissed as hell but given his recent abnormal behavior, it's hard to tell. I'm more interested in seeing the person who lost this prototype's reaction.

I created an appointment system and all its related subsystems from scratch in 7 days. The online part is on passport.com.ph

I've been playing it on my 360 and if you could forgive some of the seemingly simple things that Ezio can't do, it's a pretty good game. I like the fact that money isn't hard to come by if you focus on upgrading the villa early.
I didn't have a public profile but Google still automatically added people who were following me. I had to block them one-by-one.
Re:Do you have a blog? And if so, why? on Friday February 12, 2010 @10:02AM (#1120673)

You'll have to block people who are following you first
Re:Why Subversion is better than Git on Wednesday February 10, 2010 @10:00AM (#1114977)
I always hated the way svn left its .svn cruft all over the place. Glad to see they're trying to get away from it with version 1.7 but it's the same kind of glad as seeing someone try to make an iPod killer.
Re:Ask HN: Best practices for server redundancy? on Monday January 25, 2010 @05:05AM (#1074777)
DNS propagation doesn't have to be that long if you set the TTL for your records to be the lowest your nameserver will allow.

Your problem is severely limited by your budget given that at your level, redundancy will at least double your hosting bill. If your site is that important, I think you should spend a bit more on hosting.

Supplies? Food? Shelter? I'm guessing everything else except for the wages of the volunteers since, they are volunteers.
I wouldn't go as far as throwing an exception. A notice maybe.

There might be none but that's not really the point now, is it? It's all about the quality of work.

This is one of the great examples of the difference between a graphic designer that charges $200 per hour and your friend's cousin who can do the entire project for $20.
I'd tell them all about the metric system so we don't have to deal with inches today

Ask HN: How to replicate OSX's trackpad behaviors in Windows?

When I bought an Asus Eee PC, the first thing I noticed is that the moment you release the trackpad while dragging, it also immediately released the drag.Contrast this with OSX where you can temporarily lift your finger off the trackpad to reposition it for long drags.By the way, I'm only referring to dragging by using the trackpad alone. I'm well aware that I can hold down the trackpad button...
