I don't want to sound like a douche, but It looks to me that you did it to prove you eat your own dogfood. If you were so unhappy with Tumblr, why didn't you just use another blogging platform or software? There are many alternatives in almost every language known to man.

Is the name Elastic Fusion Power appropriate?

Really?

Moving away from the X86 instruction set 5 years after the move PowerPC is NOT going to happen, period. ARM is fine for the iPad, but for high performance work it doesn't cut it.

ARM tech & Intel have proven that they can scale, but only Intel has the performance advantage for years to come.

And come on! Fragment the Mac market in laptops with ARM and workstations with Intel chips is a really bad move. The only laptop that would have an ARM chip would be an iPad with a keyboard.

Call me skeptical, but I've never trusted Compete's numbers. Their service gives stats without citing sources, so I don't know what kind of magic or data interpolation they use.

I don't know. I saw your site and I find it is not easy to use. The first page doesn't tell you what is a virtual bet about. It also gives you to calls to action that are equally important. I would only highlight one of them.

The How to Play page is boring to read. I would replace everything with a form that fills in a Twitter post for you (for which you don't need permissions from Twitter).

I began programming when I've got my first computer, an Atari 600XL (what a pos for 1992). I learnt BASIC from a collection of science magazines from the 80s that my older brothers had and from an Atari BASIC manual.

Unfortunately I never had a diskette drive nor some assembler books :(

Edit: I was 8.

Something Awful is my main news source.

Being serious, Hacker News shouldn't try to be a general news site "for hackers" because believing a hacker prototype exists is absurd.

Using lettuce instead of tortillas is brilliant! Tortillas account for a big chunk of the costs in a wrap.

was? did he die?

Only if Sony doesn't do a thing to lock the software up. Maybe they could add SPUs to the phone, or something that would lock the software to the platform.

Unix scripting always amazes me. Every time I read a script or a blog post about it I learn something new.

After all these years using Linux, I don't remember ever noticing input redirection.

I've used cheap scientific calculators that perform operations from left to right. It's awful when you are answering a uni exam and you don't know why the results you get looks fishy.

On computer calculators, I always type "1 + 2 * 3 =" as "2 * 3 =", "+ 1 =" because I learned the hard way that I can't asume that a calculator is going to respect order of precedence or not.

Bummer, it's only for people that live abroad.
