elssar··on Late bloomer, not a loser. (I hope)
I was with you when I read the title, I was with you upto the point you mentioned that you weren't ready for the consistency & hardwork college requires, and then you went from "someone like me" to "someone who hasn't done as well as the people around him".
elssar··on Help us find an international name for our startup
Well, both are very similar & since StamSted is in Danish, I'd say go with it. Could even mention that on your site, maybe made to look like a Danish-English dictionary entry. At least that's how I'd do it.
elssar··on Help us find an international name for our startup
Try http://namestation.com --> go over there & start a name contest. It's kinda like crowd sourced name picking. You might get 20-30 odd names, but other than that the participation isn't great. For instance, people don't seem to vote on name ideas given by others & are more interested in posting their own ideas.

But FWIW I think that StamSted is quiet good, and homestead means a persons home, so I can see the connection there. In fact, if you don't use it, I might commandeer the domain :P

elssar··on How to win any game on hackerrank
Kinda like the 21 game where the winning strategy is to always say a multiple of 4(and it helps if you go second) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim#The_21_game
elssar··on India’s Most Popular Blogging Website Labnol.org Hacked
I'm Indian & I've never heard of Labnol.org

Also is it a blog or a blogging website? Blogging website sounds like a site where people host their blogs, like blogspot or tumblr.

elssar··on Ask HN: Free web host to test javascript?
Could use the Google App Engine, or any app engine that has free usage. http://alternativeto.net/software/google-app-engine/ <--List of alternatives to the the app engine. Also might wanna look at OpenShift https://openshift.redhat.com/
elssar··on Ask HN: Do startups usually design their own site or outsource the work?
You could outsource the design part and write the code yourself?
elssar··on Leaked Documents Show the U.N.'s Internet Power Grab...
Exaggerated? Here's a link to the Chinese proposal to give each government control over the internet in it's country - DNS and all - https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-diao-aip-dns-00 This is the abstract - "With the reality of Internet, Autonomous Internet technology in this article constructs independent autonomous extensible domain name architecture and domain name hierarchy through current domain name architecture, provides independent root DNS server, inner/outer DNS resolution mechanism for each autonomous internet network system, and provides reformation and transition solution from current Internet to realize autonomy even in unilateral action." If you read the WSJ article linked, you'll see the ridiculous proposals like making snooping on email legal, and charging a fee on internet traffic that crosses national borders. Imagine having to pay for a google search, not to google but to your government. Actually that'd make google search payed, because they'd have to pay to crawl sites that are hosted in servers outside the US. And if you're under the impression that all of this is too ridiculous and surely sane politicians will not back this, you're underestimating the assholery and idiocy of politicians.

But this isn't a Security Council resolution. Their veto status means nothing in this conference.
elssar··on Govt of India proposes to ban SSH (Or wants you to use 40 bit keys)
The idiots in our government are jealous of China & have identified censorship & suppression of freedom as the one thing they can quickly compete with China on
elssar··on Help, HN - Vimeo is Not available in India
erm, how is it complicated to use the IP address or https?
elssar··on Help, HN - Vimeo is Not available in India
Try using https:// instead of http:// Or use a proxy server Or use their IP address - 74.113.233.128 Or VPN into a server hosted outside India & try access vimeo from there.

All of these should work

elssar··on Samsung Galaxy S III Review and price in India
Cons listed are '8MP primary camera', and 'Not released yet'

How are either of those cons?

elssar··on Ask HN: Countries with sane governments that won't mess with my Internet use?
AFAIK the Scandinavian countries have a good record in this matter, well better than most other countries.
