I'm thirteen, and this person's story has made me feel the need to start a company by the time I turn fourteen, just to match this kid. Also, udacity.com has a great course on backends of webapps (CS263) that I just finished, and it helps a lot!

I agree with you, but I think the author is trying to get at what WordPress _can_ do, not what is currently in place.

I wonder how long it'll be until we see Meebo integrated into Android and/or Google webapps. I personally think it's sad to see Google buy a company and then shut down it's services.

From the official blog post: >There are however some links which could indicate that the creators of Flame had access to technology used in the Stuxnet project - such as use of the “autorun.inf” infection method If I'm not mistaken, you can find youtube videos on how to exploit autorun.inf to make a prank virus. I'm with you on these guys missing easy stuff.

This is why I love Hacker News. Even though this doesn't really have anything to do with startups or technology in general, it's still something that interests the types of people who read Hacker News. One of the big reasons I love HN is the community that contributes to it.

This is exactly what I asked for.

Can't wait for ArchLinux on this thing...

There should just be one thread for all the dcpu-16 implementations

Someone should make something analogous to the GertBoard for the Raspberrypi[0], except virtually, to solve that problem [0]http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/411

Someone should implement C in the DCPU-16 before launch, so the assembly language isn't necessary. Mid- to high-level languages FTW!

I wonder who will be testing these things... Hope Google has a signup list like the had with the CR-48!

I guarantee both will happen within a week of the game's release.

I wish too that computers were like they were in the 80's. Growing up now, I remember when to me the System Preferences on a Mac were a place that you didn't go or else you might mess up the computer. Still, with programming knowledge and all, I always get a little bit frightened when I'm about to do something the tiniest bit dangerous that might it so my computer won't turn on, like using `dd` even though I checked the name of the disk I was trying to write at least ten times. I blame it on my generation and the "magic" about computers today that some other HNers mentioned.

Never mind.

I can't tell if this is an april fool's joke or not.

He might think he'll get a lot of traffic, so google's servers would help.

Thats learning about different programming languages... Not creating your own.

LOLcode anyone?

Moderators might take it off.

This is staying as #1 for a while.

I wish that google would add this font to GDocs already. Love it.

Absoloutely love the theme. I use http://hn.gethifi.com/ on my phone for Hacker News, so this theme makes the desktop experience a lot more consistent with my mobile experience
