Because of your comment, HN will have a dozen "I am so disappointed in all of you" posts in the coming week declaring how mean everyone here is, and how it is no longer like it "once was".
I'd be happier if this page hadn't blasted music into my conference call.
Hehe. I wish OSX had individual program volume controls... On Windows 7 I usually have flash process volume on 'off', unless I'm specifically watching something.
Your fault for not paying attention during a conference call...
Yeah, because we never have conference calls where we have to be there but don't really have to do anything besides listen for our name.
don't surf the web on a conference call. problem solved.
Little late for that ain't it?
Sounds like a personal problem.
I love how you're mocking HN and the parent post at the same time!
I'm actually not mocking either the post or HN. If I am being a little snarky, it is towards the thin skinned who zero in on any comment they don't like and then launch a tirade in hopes of, essentially, group bullying. It happens with increasing regularity.
I actually find it refreshing when people mock or criticize HN on HN. There is too much orthodoxy here, too much defensiveness when that orthodoxy is questioned, too much indirection where a plainly stated opinion would suffice, and a lot of people don't have a sense of humor about themselves. (Watch this get downvoted by people proving exactly my point.)
