In another interview it was said that Ceglia found the facebook stuff while reviewing paperwork for the fraud case. He might have honestly forgotten and found the documents 7 years later.

I wonder if ads will be specific to what you have on your Kindle or (even scarier) what you have purchased at Amazon.com.

This also brings up an interesting question; what you read on your kindle, is it as ad-worthy as what you read online?

Unfortunately still in private beta, but is this what Python delvelopers need to compete with Heroku?

I am continuely surprised that someone hasn't come to undercut this market (besides pirating which might be a huge factor here). But can Adobe's offerings be so far and above others that people think $95 a month is a great deal?

Note: I obviously don't use this suite so I don't know the true benefits of the software.

I agree 100% with your comment. I think it was incredibly frustrating going through college in classes where people were there just since it is a requirement for basic jobs today. University should not be forced upon these people who want a four year party away from their parents... let it be for people who want to do something more focused than a general education.

The mandatory college experience has to be stopped or I fear the race to the bottom of higher education much like what has happened in the K-12 education.

This is one of my biggest pet-peeves... As a person who is forced to use IE6 at work still, I have come to the conclusion that most sites will not look good in my browser.

Why block your content from people who want to see it; just stop supporting it, put up a blank css file for < IE9, let the site be broken.

Doing this is the easiest way to lose me as a viewer of your website... if I am blocked at work there is no way I would go back to the site once I am home using a modern browser... It just seems silly to me!

I understood why there was an ebook being hosted on GitHub (since they were still making changes to the source code), but this is just wrong. They are making GitHub pay for the distribution costs of their MP3s.

This sort of abuse (along with using DropBox as a CDN) needs to be stopped. It isn't a new cool way of doing things; it is draining the wallets of services we know and love.

There's really no delineation between articles. Scanning down the page there is no trigger for your eyes to stop and read headings, which makes you completely miss the article on the GitHub commit monitor...

For a website that is meant to be a culmination of information, scanability should be top priority.

Getting a google search result for "node.js tut" might be more useful than this site. The concept is great, but entirely unusable!

I would assume TweetDeck is grandfathered in. However, it does make for interesting discussion when monitization roles around...

    Twitter: Want unlimited API calls?
    TweetDeck: YES!
    Twitter: Okay, thats $XX,XXX a year...

I guess what I meant to say is that $10 is too much for an ebook which is selling significantly cheaper in paperback or slightly more in hardcover. My favorite example of this is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: it is $18.99 to buy it for a nook, but $9.99 for the paperback (and as low as $1 used, but that's beyond the argument).

What I find funny is that this would have never happened if they charged the standard $9.99 e-book price (which in itself is absolutely too much for e-books).

The $5 difference is causing quite a stir which I am sure is not worth it in the long run.

well, since everything is in the comments, this could really be a gist of any language... I have seen job opportunities written in code, and some are very impressive. This one misses the mark. There is nothing to it, unfortunately.

Dropbox seems to be down. Link is dead...

We unfortunate users of IE6 get the new 404 page as well. I assume they just gave up on IE6 like most of the web-world has.

This data is very interesting to me. I have always had a feeling that upvotes were slightly skewed towards websites that fail against major corporate firewalls. For example, I cannot read blogs at work so I upvote more blogs than I probably would if I could see them at work. Good luck on your venture, and you definitely have my vote!

I never understood why the 13" version is such a second class citizen? Is it that different of a footprint that Apple can't fit the same technology in it... or is this Apple's plan?

IE6 @ work here. No luck viewing this page. HA!

Looks great on my Droid though...

From the recent developments we have been hearing from Quora, maybe it is TED that is trying to break down Quora's walled garden. I am impressed that TED went out on their own, just hope they try and keep it as open as possible.

From what I recall, it was was Jeff Atwood knew best when he started it.

It is a good example of all those stories of not being able to change technology after you become popular. It seems that they are accepting Linux where it fits best at least.

I will have to watch the video once I can (blocked at work). Thanks for the info!

It is sad that this got 13 upvotes so far. It is scary that this is on the front page of hacker news... the main quote is obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Definitely missed that. 1) Is that US centric? 2) If no, why doesn't everyone do that?

My google voice number is 786-J-Finnie... I really hate that I can't enter that on a vaild phone number on many websites! Since I specificially looked for that as a phone number, I haven't memorized the actual numers of JFINNIE, so I just put in a fake number.

There is a lot of cart web forms that just have a check box asking if your shipping address is the same as your billing address, isn't that easier to implement? Not sure the added vaule of seeing it "copy" from billing to shipping...

This is quite impressive, I have to admit. Though being that there is a Jekyll python-clone called Hyde, I thought they were finally being brought togetherf...

Please, don't do this... If you are a webdesigner, just take down the site or put up a note saying "This customer did not pay their bill." This is never the right way to solve your issues.

I am in the camp of if you are going to go with roller.at make sure you can get rollerat.com! This actually is pretty easy since it seems like a weird URL, but makes sense once you start talking about your product, "visit us at roller dot at" and people will still go to rollerat.com.

Redirect rollerat.com to roller.at and be done with it. It just takes a little extra time to make sure you can get both domains.

But you have to remember scale here. He is selling just over 5% of his stock. I think it is a good idea to follow the founders, so yes go sell your stock (or at least 5% of it).

And wasn't there just a posting the other day for GitHub's new easy-to-setup wiki software?

I have to agree that Google Docs is not the appropriate means to getting your point across and allowing people to edit your ideas. It just never seems to work out well. Love the idea though!
