Re:Obama Nominates RIAA Lawyer for Solicitor General

Can you please explain how the RIAA crushed 'individual rights' and 'innovation and personal freedom'? I mean, from what I know they only got it to be illegal to copy movies/music, right? And the DMCA was passed unanimously by the Senate, so it's clearly not just the RIAA that is interested in 'crushing innovation and personal freedom in the United States' as you claim. What am I missing?

They didn't exactly go out on a limb with their predictions - they said that GSM security technology and SSL implementations are flawed, so we'll see more attacks on them in 2010. Anyone who follows security and/or web technologies could have said that.

compared to the traffic the servers are seeing from the bots, the single requests of curious people is pretty negligible.

Re:Books that will Substitute for a Computer Science Degree

G.E.B.? Fun book, yes, but to make a list of 10 books to substitute a Bachelor's degree in CS? nonsense.

As pointed out in one of the comments, this doesn't hold for recent college grads. I know a lot of very smart people who graduated in the past 2-3 years and cannot find jobs.

an amazing gift I received for a birthday one year was a gift certificate for a beginner flight. Something to keep in mind (or to ask for!)

Ask HN: How would you introduce a 14 year old to programming?
When I was in about 8th grade I downloaded a copy of Visual Basic 3, which was my first introduction to a higher-level language. Before that, I had played around with basic on one of those toy computers. How would you introduce a child in middle school to programming? Does anyone know of any studies done?

Re:What Could Google Do With the Data It's Collected?

Why don't any of these articles put blame on the users, for broadcasting their data without any encryption set up? I guess that's not the exciting news story. They could at least use the opportunity to educate people a bit..
