FTA: "We need to test the readability of the font, particular the Cyrillic and Greek which have had less testing."

Why not release the Ubuntu font-in-progress to the general public and create a "font bug tracker" where users can report their experience with the font in various characters sets across multiple devices? Ubuntu is open-source, community based software - why not open source the font design?

This wouldn't be a problem if I could choose the number of articles per page - 30 articles per page isn't enough. I rarely go more than 5 pages deep on HN. If HN was just a single page with 300 entries that I could refresh (or would auto-refresh via Comet/AJAX) I would be a happy camper.

I always listen to new ideas - even if I think the idea sucks initially, it's great to get my own creative juices flowing.

Works for me on OSX 10.6.6 - disable DigiNotar in Keychain Access then attempt to visit the DigiNotar site over SSL at https://service.diginotar.nl/ - either fails outright or generate a certificate warning.

If a person is "truly and deeply nothing" then how is that person making decisions? I can understand feeling like nothing - but something has to exist to have a feeling of nothingness in the first place.

> But I am nothing, and so I am finally free to be myself.

But if I am nothing what entity is contemplating my nothingness? I most definitely must be a something - thinking of myself as a non-something is necessarily a delusion. It's illogical to engage in identity denial - instead I should try to engage in identity variation, approaching myself (and others!) with a different set of assumptions from time to time (which I believe was the spirit of the original post). It's silly to start a process of self-actualization by denying the very thing I am trying to actualize.

Or, as follows: I exist as a unique locus of space and time and so do you. I can share a room, a table, a meal, a conversation, even a lifetime with you but I can't be you - I can only be myself experiencing you. Your identity is yours and yours alone and you are always free to be yourself. In fact you are required to be yourself - after all who else could you be?

I intend to own my identity for the brief flickering moment that it exists. The mindless and momentous machinations of the universe have create the fragile consciousness that I am, and very soon these same machinations will erase me to nothingness. I see no reason to get a head start on being nothing.

Excellent advice and book recommendations in this thread. Though I must admit that upon reading the title, I could only think of this:

The title is misleading and disappointing. I was expecting some cutting edge, peer-to-peer, mobile device storage mechanism. Instead I got a fluff piece for a cloud storage service. (To be fair the service looks like it could be useful).

Big lie or little lie? Did she say she was manager of a large project when she shared most of the management duties with another employee? Or, is she fabricating a medical degree out of thin air?

Everyone puts their best face forward on a resume - and will usually stretching the truth a bit. But most don't engage in outright fraud to land a job. If she is doing that, well she may be facing liability down the road.

It's impossible to discern the severity of the lie from your question alone - for all I know you could be nitpicking douche-bag - OTOH she may be a conniving, money-grubbing harpie. Details, please.
