Re:LinkedIn - This is how to hash passwords on Wednesday June 13, 2012 @07:01AM (#4105276)
In this post I look at a way of obscuring passwords stored in the database. Maybe this could be a service? Though it would add significant load times. Or would it be worth black boxing password encryption using a complied app??

Re:Ask HN: Could you please help me appreciate OS X more? on Monday April 26, 2010 @11:13PM (#1297094)
It is simple. People who have used Linux are not impressed as much by shinny things. I love my Mac becuase it is simple, clean and easy to use.

I have used Linux and it is more powerful and agile. Though Gnome is not as pretty and finished as OSX.

It is like Photoshop vs GIMP, InkScape vs Illustrator etc. The opensource software will get quite good, and in some ways better. Though it is not as polished.

It really comes down to what you can live without.
