Very good =Average+Help
I sense a discrepancy,like 90 % of drivers think they are good :P
How about looking at this way...every second person you meet is a college grad! :-)
you are agreeing AND disagreeing at the same time???!
Is the notion of 10-X programmers, super cool programmers over-rated?

nice article!
For those trying to do research, for research's sake... how many path-breaking PhD's in Computer Science has US produced? (For that matter, any country in the world-but let's stick with US)
I feel that the entire culture has been skewed towards incremental improvements.
I bet, 90% of papers churned out, would be having conclusions something like.. "improved the performance of X by y% under the conditions L,M,N"
where (L,M,N) might be near-impossible to occur simultaneously in real life.
You cant disregard/dismiss Gary's points- sure,Apple II might not have been the last technological innovation, but overall- he has raised a valid point.
By chance,even if somebody is eager to explore tourist locations in Jammu&Kashmir, this site would be an instant turn-off!
If you are the guy behind this site.. care to elaborate on the "market cap" of indian matrimony sites? Have you launched recently? profitable? size of user base?

What does it mean for Rapleaf, and other companies that operate in the same domain?
That's definitely world changing... regaining touch with one's near and dear....
The specifics of your girlfriend's case apart....Losing touch with one's own mother.. for 6 years??@!#@!#, and Facebook re-uniting them??
Unless this was a forcible separation due to a natural calamity/war... (in which case my heart-felt sympathies) anything like this is really inexcusable.
I really,really find that sad if the current, or future generation would be requiring Facebook/Twitter to keep in touch with one's parents. That trivializes relationships.

Any numbers available - size of user base/ traffic ?
I know exactly what you are talking about.
Many-a-times,the urge for putting in "pouring out heart and soul" and do late-nighters takes over common sense.
I have come to the sober realization that debugging with lack of sleep is the equivalent of a drunken monkey controlling the trajectory of a space shuttle.
:(
Was wondering how I missed seeing an address on that profile.. then I saw who wrote the comment :-)
Thanks for the clarification, Pg!
Just couldn't help wondering about it- seemed weird to notice that many first-names account not posting/commenting, but just existing.
P.S: Those who liked this question- please comment!

Just check out any id of the form:
http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jamesFor all common names like :
bob,james,john,mary,thames,peter
and many more, I could see that they had no submissions, 1 karma, and created 1250+ days ago.
Anyone else noticed this? Wonder why.

Have met people who scoff at the idea of "regular sleep at regular hours" , and those who are zealously disciplined about it.Also curious, about the proportion of "night-persons" vs "day-persons" on HN.
