Blog post somewhere that shares the tale? I've had a little side project that I did a few strips for but then never posted because I figured I'd have to be willing to dedicate way more time than it wo…

As much as I hate to admit it, I learned two languages on punch cards - Fortran and Cobol. I'm sure there is a Cobol implementation for Windows out there somewhere, but is there actually an open sourc…

Looks like a great viewer, but the library function looks like it requires me to import everything I have, and then import new stuff as it comes along. That might be slightly faster long term, but sho…

Even using that, all I get are Internal Service Errors...

The Streak 7 has the 4G built in, and so it would be cheaper to go with a stereo Bluetooth headset ($60 - $70) than the Samsung phone (just under $200). I don't want a contract given how things are go…

Good points. Integration is definitely something I'm starting to look into, but reducing friction is also important. I'll see if there's anymore contributions to the discussion, but at least that give…

It's worse than that. I started as a DBA, moved into development, spent time as an architect, and now am mainly a Project Manager though I do dip back into architecture occasionally. I do try to descr…

That was exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear - not that there were problems with Heroku, but which systems held up for folks. Given your earlier message, I presume you used Linode and it he…

Just in case anyone else runs into this - if they are running a promotion at the time (in this case a Veteran's Day sale), they give you the code to enter, but then the system automatically applies th…

Tried to sign up for this, but it puts you directly into a two week trial for free, and I can't find any way to tell it that I have a promo code so that I can pay for the year. Any suggestion on what …

I'll have to look into the heroku then. I've had an amazon AWS account for some time (though I've mainly used it just to try things out myself before recommending to a client), and so don't appear to …

Would you happen to have links to any of these offers? A quick (albeit minimal) search doesn't reveal a "free for a year" option on any of these, instead EC2 and Heroku have pricing calculators that i…

I'd be interested in hearing more as well.

I "personally" would prefer that such discussions still be made available, but that people have an easier way to block those if they don't want to discuss that (or at least don't want to discuss that …

IMNSHO there are two things that would help HN be a "better" place - of course as with most folks who respond to this better will correspond to what THEY would like to see. So you should take any comm…

Two pages - first page talks about general rules then says to visit the second page for the list of devices. Second page points to XDA-developers and says to look on there. Basically a link to XDA-dev…

Let's face it. A TRS-80 Model 100 in many ways is probably still the ideal portable writing machine. Only displays a couple lines at a time so you can't get too distracted with formatting and such. Ru…

AM I the only one who saw the title and assumed this was going to be the Muppet's Swedish Chef vs Emeril or someone similar?

But... But... you ARE satoshi... unless you are claiming that case matters here... :-)

I suspect OP (both here and at Reddit) would be interested in pointers to some providers who share PayPal's low cost of entry with hopefully much better service. I know I would be :-)

Where this would be most excellent would be for photo or video editing - particularly once they quad cores come out.

AOL used to have a news site called Propeller. AM I the only one who finds it confusing that Google doesn't know/care?
