Wow. Someone's mad.

So when are you starting your manned space program?

> I never want to identify myself in a retail establishment. Let their cameras snap a picture of my face then match it to a common database of faces and cross-check it to the unique signal from my phone that is in my pocket. That should be enough to know it's me.

If this ever became a reality I would never walk into a store again. There's a point at which we need to stop sacrificing privacy for petty convenience.

Looks like I'd better have my cat build me a portfolio. Early retirement sounds nice.

Who said the TV series would have to take the place of the final 3 movies? The star wars universe is vast in both history and size, they could set a TV show at any of a hundred interesting times without tying directly into the movies at all.

That's some pretty impressive work for an 11 year old. I'm curious what kind of help he had.

It never even occurred to me that there might be people who might not know what this word originally meant. Wow.

"May have" is not news. "May have" is speculation.

I don't think we stand a chance. Look at the navy they've got!

"Instagram does a few things really well - 1.) Help make photos look pretty"

I've never seen an instagram photo I've thought of as 'pretty'. I'm not really a fan of seeing pictures other people's lunches and bathrooms, but maybe I'm just weird.

I completely agree with this. "We'll check the facts later" is not how journalism should be done. Modern 'journalists' are just sensationalists.

Sorry, but why is this on HN?

This just sounds like a lot of whining to me.

On every CSE test I took when I was in college they graded the code writing portions based on algorithm implementation. No one ran your code through a compiler and docked pointed for each error. If you wrote array.length() instead of array.length you wouldn't lose points as long as your loop did what it was supposed to do.

Also, on every job interview I have ever gone to I have had to write code on paper with the interviewer breathing down my neck.

Any karma blessings you bestow on other articles/comments unintentionally are all part of the plan of the internet rep gods who nudged your cursor off target.

+rep and be saved.

Furries. Furries everywhere.

Well, that is usually what is meant when someone puts a bounty on someone else. Though my first reaction was "that's a little cheap for assassination." But then again, I'm sure there's a charity hitman somewhere.

And nothing of value was lost.

It's starting to get to the point where every time I see or hear the word "patent" I want to scream.

You keep using that chart type. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I miss when Firefox did minor versions more often. This is just getting rediculous.

I don't think the point of this article was "Republicans are scummy", because everyone knows the Democrats are too.

The only thing this article made me think was "Damn it, we were so close!"
