This is almost 20 years old technology has changed a lot since then.

Email clients hide quotes by default and also quote by default.

People don't treat email the same (who has the time to summarize/edit the quote anymore).

Gmail has made top posting the default which means most users will top quote.

Threading is a bit better.

Feel free to continue bottom posting but remember not to quote the whole damn thing and remember to keep the quote short enough that I hopefully don't have to scroll down to see what you added. I personally find top posting easier to follow with modern threading.

Also be sure to check out the dev channel: http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

More frequent releases, and quite stable.

You do need a Sublime text 2 license though.

It may be better to see if you can find someone who is blind and studied mathematics to some degree to see how to proceed.

I know most universities have an accessibility department which might make it easier to take a math class than trying to read a book with obscure concepts.

Test on windows?

A lot of thin fonts look bad in Windows especially chrome. So you could probably make a safe bet that if a font is thin on OSX then it will be much thinner (sometimes unreadable) on Windows.

If you want to use thin fonts only use them for the titles (but even here it looks like that causes problems).

PHP isn't static but NearlyFreeSpeech has been a good host for me (cheap and easy as long as you don't mind ssh). They do have php and mysql if needed.

If actually static (just html and other static files): S3 might be a better choice.

I don't know about renting but perhaps check the return policy on a few websites (Amazon is usually pretty good) and try one of those after buying it and if you don't like it return it.

Except with tags you could probably have multiple groups for single posts rather than having multiple posts in separate groups (or subreddits).

You may not always say something novel or unique but I have enjoyed some of your posts immensely and if you aren't writing you may never write the next post that greatly affects someone.

Thanks for your writing, and sorry for your loss.

Yes, there was an instance recently where somebody did just that and the link to the article changed to the original link that was being commented on.

I'm not entirely sure but I think to cash in you would need to find willing buyers at the price you want.

So it works similar to trading.

So if you want $1million dollars at $700 per bitcoin you would have to find a market with enough people to buy at $700.

For me I receive packages by UPS unless that order is arriving on Monday then it is Fed Ex that delivers the package.

But It probably is location dependent, I live in more of a rural area.

Well in firefox you can't do searches like cache:news.ycombinator.com or site:news.ycombinator.com (Edit: in the address bar)

I also prefer the way firefox acts with suggestions in the search and address bar being separate, I often find myself messing up where I meant to go because I thought pressing enter would take me to a site but instead goes to a search.

Firefox is easy for me because the address bar acts differently.
