>> Mr.Graham is the native speaker here himself
Mr.Graham natively speaks english, but "American" is not his native accent. He's from England.

Now trending from a more valid source:
http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1cerrp/boston_mar...
During disasters such as this, I appreciate reddit's scale (and diversity) for up-to-date information in the comments.

Seems that some other, far better source, should have replaced it by now. There were a few up-in-coming, but they too vanished.

Why do the top links on reddit stop leaving the front page?
This link was #1 for about 10 minutes:
http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1cen7i/explosion_...
and now has vanished, along with all other sponsored links. A horrible tragedy like this seems leagues more important than the current top link:

I enjoyed thinking about what Nabokov was assigning to his students:
"Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Gogol, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Jane Austen, Franz Kafka, Gustave Flaubert, and Robert Louis Stevenson"
Looks like I'll be reading Metamorphosis( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metamorphosis) tonight!

The part at the end:
"On a separate note, I feel like we could be doing more to help YC companies. We're in awe of what you've built over there at the Y and we'd love to grab a coffee and talk more about how we could be helpful to both the companies and you."
Is the reason you should know this is satire.

Why not ultima 7? Ultima8 wasn't as interactive as ultima7 imho.

I have the exact same experience. Ultima7 made me a developer, and was my first dive into editing bash scripts (that fucker was impossible to get working in windows95). Enabling the debug mode and hacking on gumps was my favorite pass time.

Sharing an office with these guys has allowed us to try our their TF servers for the last weeks and it has been amazing. Trying to get 8 people (5 of which who are not technically savvy) to play together has always been a huge pain for TF2. With Minefold it was a click of a button!

"They are liars, shady business, IP violators and are downright dangerous."
This is completely prejudice! You've never met Install Monetizer, and don't know if they participate in the same activities as the companies that you're referring to.
"I believe OP is very polite: There are no good reasons to not shame them publicly."
This is childish, and I'd expect better from any contributing member of VLC.
