That quote is referring to the theoretical 7Gbps speed, not it's standard one.

This is a great project in order to bring in new programmers. It's so simple, but so entertaining. If fun little "toys" such as these keep popping up, it's sure to create more interest for the rest of the population. :)

No problem! I hope things work out for the best in your road to going to MIT and getting a degree. :)

I'm in Pre-Cal AP at my high school, money's tight and I would love to accept your calculator. The ones they provide at school for free don't have good graphing utilities :/.

Anyway, thanks for the consideration, it's nice enough to see someone offer such thing for free. :D

Edit: Money's tight at my house, but indraneel24 sounds like he needs it more. Please exclude me from this for his benefit. Thanks!

Congrats to the Django team for making the big 1.0!

Loads of new (but mostly currently in-place) features make everyone happy! No more newbie confusion on whether to download from the SVN trunk means I can finally sleep peacefully. :D

Me too, I've moved to Dynadot for my domain needs after this incident...

I tried registering a domain, and wasn't able to when GoDaddy's servers were being hammered. I'd used GoDaddy for years, but I have to say, I've seen the light, they've lost my service.

Why is it so hard for companies to take my money when I try to hand it to them? They had to have known that the demand was high for these .me domain names. There's no excuse for them to have prepared for this kind of traffic.

Heh, now that I think about it, Apple's iPhone situation is remarkably similar to this one. ;-)

A friend suggested Dynadot. They accept Paypal, which makes it easier to not bother my parents (I'm 15-years-old).

I wouldn't want to pay money just so I can ensure that developers are able to make the site stable and reliable. Not that I don't like supporting sites that I love, but we shouldn't even have to think about paying for something like this.

If I were to pay for a service, I would want features that would better my experience with the service, not ensuring that it would have a longer uptime. That's no excuse for developers to not work on scaling.

If Twitter was going to head into this business model, they have to give me something that was worth paying for.

Using Chyrp http://chyrp.net/ . Nice open-source tumblelog software. :)

Wow, this gives me a lot of hope in humanity. I'd be mad/sad if I was fired, but knowing that people are looking out for your ass once they drop you really says something about the integrity of that person.

Kudos to the boss, and I hope the ex-employees find some work. :D

I'm sorry, but I think this has been covered too much and it's a fact that everyone knows already.

While Yahoo Buzz did steal Digg's concept of social news, I'd say it's a valid competitor just because of the fact that it's hacked by Yahoo.

With that said, I'm frightened by the implications of some newbie blogger sites being hit with the traffic that flocks to Yahoo. Servers will melt around the world. ;-)

It's some sites like these that make me wonder,"Why didn't I think of that?"

Plus, it would save me some time answering questions in various IRC channels.

I don't want Hacker News to start having sensationalist headlines...
