Quick question; do you remember when Aaron Swartz died? Pretty much every article on the homepage was about that. Would you have requested the same ruling then?

I think this is more to do with a persons engagement on the topic in question. Hacker News works by following the consensus of what the majority want to see. So I think it is working correctly.

When GTAV comes out they should open source the code for 4! The amount of mods and work people have put into the game is insane. The LCPDFR mod alone could have been sold as a add on pack!

Mayer.

Although I love the concept, backing a team that does not even have a single chemist or nutritionist in it is worrying.

Picking a name

Programmer is a broad term. What area of programming interests you?

Try another color scheme?

But see an optician.

31/36. Just one point, using a mouse having the two different sets of buttons at either sides of the screen was distracting.

The way I understood this was to be that the courses are free and contain all the free 'open source' content needed for it; as they always have.

However, the addition being, they will offer parts of selected published textbooks for free which would help with the understanding of the course - but were not produced as part of it.

This title was misleading.

Using my google-fu ;) I found this link which may or may not be any good(http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html).

I have never used operators myself, I think just the way you structure and choose your words wisely has the most impact.

This. The ability to Google efficiently is severely underrated.

What would be able to print on/sizes and what would be the turn around time?

Should all disciplines require a course on "making sense of data and technology"? Yes, probably they should.

My guess is karma threshold

Js, python and go

take a look at grooveshark its the best social music experience I've had

or so you think... ;)

http://hackershelf.com/browse/ has enough free books covering a range of subjects to get you more than on your way.

out of all the things Google have done this year, I would think a competition for which the prize is to give them $1500 would be much more appropriate for April fools... oh wait

I would be up for doing the same.

Opencart is very lightweight in my experience.

Just a curious thought, if you was applying for a CS course, do you think it could have actually had a positive impact on chances?

Press ups work well for me - although, might not work so well in some office environments.

Speaking from the point of view of someone who is the current position and has been for the last few years, as long as the health concerns of sleep deprivation do not bother you, number two does not have to be a concern.

To the OP, the biggest issue I had was bank accounts, many services wanted business bank accounts, which was a nightmare for the 14 year old me to try and convince them to give me. In the end I settled for an account with only a checkbook tied to it. I agree with what argonaut, before you make this official 'test the waters' and see if it has the traction that would be worth risking your education for.

Personally I started on Elance and while there are people charging ridiculous low amounts I just priced what I felt I could do it for at a fair rate that was still competitive but enough for me to find it still worthwhile. Sure I did not get a lot of jobs, but I did get a few and those were enough to get onto the ladder.

From those jobs I built up a network of clients which have slowly expanded due to things like word of mouth and recommendations.

I got my first few jobs with no portfolio(heck I still don't have a public one) or degree.

My advice to you would be just dive in, price what will make it worth doing to you and then once you have some experience in the field and network of clients you can raise your prices.

Whereabouts in London ideally?

Number 6 is not mine.

Nitpicking: My name has another t on the end.

Another headline: Infra-hats become number one selling product of the year.

Rackspace is where you should look then, cheap and reliable.
