If you really want to know it isn't for finding the main site that everyone uses golang it is for finding all other references to the language.

As an example cloudflare writes a large amount of posts that have something to do with go if you google "go cloudflare" you get relevant results but you also get results of google mixing in the word "get" for go which are completely irrelevent.

Now if you google "golang cloudflare" all results pertain to the Go programming language.

(Not the best example because cloudflare doesn't use golang in their posts).

Not if you want to search for it.

You'll probably never get it without an exorbitant amount of money.

Try looking for a similar name plenty of people use search engines and bookmarks so a domain like thexxxx.com or getxxxx.com isn't that ridiculous.

Rackspace is pretty bare bones and lots of people like it: http://www.rackspace.com/email-hosting/webmail

I use fastmail https://www.fastmail.fm

Depending on your uses one might be cheaper than the other, fastmail is pretty cheap if you only have 1 user for all the domains (you can alias whatever email addresses you want) ($40/year personal plan)

Rackspace I haven't really used so I don't know how they handle multiple domains it might be cheaper to use them with multiple users. They do require a minimum $10/month

As long as your pdfs translate well to grayscale it should be fine.

The new kindle web browser is quite nice (I believe it uses webkit) but isn't something you'll want to use for anything that you want to get done quickly.

I haven't tried this new DX but I love eink screens and feel that they are much easier to read than laptop/ipad or other birgh screens.

It is actually a comparable price to other phones.

Without contract the iphone 5 is rather expensive as well.

I don't like the Svbtle style but I don't think you should suggest using something that stole the design and is not condoned by the original author.

It's so funny how outraged hacker news becomes when a startups design is stolen but when dcurtis made svbtle a private platform they were all to happy to have people steal the design.

Are you on XP? (I ask because it looks like you don't have any anti-aliasing on).

If you adjust your cleartype settings (or turn it on in XP) it will look a bit more normal.

I don't know why the parent comment does it but with nginx you can leverage things like caching out of the box. (Would mostly be used on static files, either generated or pre-made).

Don't break my browser defaults for your preferences.

If I want it to open in a new window I'll shift+click and if I want a new tab I'll ctrl+click or middle mouse click.

Gmail has it as an option (labs last I used gmail), that is the best way I think to do it.

I don't ever find a need to undo an email though.

I believe it was only for like 20-30 seconds as well that it offered undo.

Using the following got rid of a lot of my correction woes:

    alias sudo="nocorrect sudo"
That is why you were getting the .aptitude one, you can use it for other commands that it gets the corrections wrong often.

I've since moved to vanilla bash+bash completion since it is everywhere and zsh completion seemed to annoy me more than help me.

US debit cards just require magnetic strip and pin to withdraw from ATMs.

Well if you're on hacker news and you don't know what jekyll is you're probably in the minority.
