I'm tired of women wanting men to quit acting like men. If she doesn't like it, is she a woman acting like a woman? I don't want her to behave that way so maybe she should change HER behavior. Get along with others. Nobody's calling her names. Nobody's targeting her.
mono works fine on nix systems (little bit of tweaking with grsec), a friend has developed a few programs that he has deployed to nix systems without any issues. Initially I was quite anti it, but what the heck, if it works it works.
You were downvoted because you made an argument without supporting it, and you were downvoted again because you complained about being downvoted and still didn't provide support for your argument.
From what I gather, HN isn't so much about being part of an "in-crowd" where you "just know" the way things are. You need to be willing to explain your arguments, otherwise you're just a snob.
How is it the parents doing this, I didn't see it written anywhere in the article that they're lawyers.
The 12 year old is the plaintiff, not the parents. The lawyer may have thought she had a good enough case to hold billing, and may have even held disbursements (although more likely the parents agreed to pay for disbursements for the case).
I sometimes got to sit next to Jim Clark during lunch when I worked at Silicon Graphics. He's just walk into the cafeteria and sit anywhere and sometimes it was with us systems engineers. Interesting to listen to the chit-chat.
Just curious... how was he like in person? Anything unusual about him? I've read both of the books on him and they're two of my most favorites startup reads.
Many of us ham radio operators can hear morse at pretty high speeds but I remember being on a bus with a friend who was well known for being the best of the best. He was staring at an ad for the longest time before I interrupted him to ask why.
There was some morse printed on the ad, just one line, but because we are so used to listening to morse, interpreting it visually took far longer.
