D3lt4··on Data structures and algorithms problems in C++ using STL
Is there something similar that's language agnostic or in Python?
D3lt4··on The U.S. Postal Service will default on Wednesday unless Congress acts
I have also had a really good experience with USPS, but I have not had negative experience with UPS or FedEx.
D3lt4··on Edx Announced 7 Free Courses
Thank you for doing this!
D3lt4··on Engadget Retina Macbook Pro Review
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.
D3lt4··on You Can Make Video Games
It seems that pygame has last been updated in 2009, that killed my desire to work with python and game dev.

D3lt4··on Show HN : Class Central - Summary of Stanford's free online courses
I like it. :)
D3lt4··on Linus Torvalds dumps Gnome3 for XFCE (G+ discussion)
"I have yet to meet anybody who likes the unholy mess that is gnome-3." I like Gnome 3 (quite a bit), then again I don't know Linus.

On a another note, it seems every time he speaks he gets several hundred likes and yet he doesn't say anything particularly special/insightful compare to the other people in conversation (I found this somewhat humorous). :)

D3lt4··on "Very bold or very dumb": data caps don't apply to ISP's own movie service
One big issue (fear?) with caps that I have, when companies switch to capped pricing and get comfortable with it, they will be extremely opposed to the idea of increasing the cap at a future date. As the internet has grown over the years so has our consumption of bandwidth. I have seen many monopolistic behaviours of the ISP's over the years and it seems that this will just be another tool to inflate the cost of the internet. It almost seems that we are slowly moving towards a bandwith model where only the rich will be able to fully utilize the internet, which is somewhat sad seeing as how libirating of a tool it can be.
D3lt4··on How to invite people to Google+
I would like an invite as well please! :) [redacted] at email Thank you so much! You guys are amazing.
D3lt4··on Apple's 30% vig for ebooks just killed the iFlow Reader app
Read the article. They invested too heavily in iOS, so now they are going out of business, because they don't have the funds to switch.
D3lt4··on Sony: All personal data stolen from PSN
Damn it, Sony.
D3lt4··on Fed Gives 220 Million Startup Funding to Wives of Morgan Stanley bigwigs
This is too surreal, I'm not sure if I believe it or not. Is the US really that screwed up?
D3lt4··on AT&T Buys T-Mobile for $39 Billion
This is rather depressing for many reasons, including that I am a T-mo customer... maybe not for much longer though.
D3lt4··on What's the best way to get ants out of laptop keyboards?
The thought alone is hilarious enough to justify an upvote.
D3lt4··on High court challenge to law that puts public-domain works back under copyright
If this passes, I could easily see this abused.
D3lt4··on Algorithm Design
The only issue with the website: Development of this site is slowing down due to the lack of support and popularity. If we get more support from our viewers by reaching 200 "likes" (upper right hand corner of the site), we will continue to work on this site full time again. Thanks.

It seems like a really good idea so I am hoping that some people from hacker news will go there and show support. :)

D3lt4··on Lists of must see TED-talks
Not necessarily, as a counter argument consider some of the giants such as Michael Faraday (physics and chemistry) and Bernhard Riemann (Mathematician), who were born into poverty and later in life had many conflicts with the people that would be considered elitist. (Especially when the elitist believe that they were better and that people such as the son of a black smith should stay away (a crude summary of some conflicts in Faraday's life). Riemann died of TB, a common infliction of poor people (not elitists).
D3lt4··on Lists of must see TED-talks
I am not sure if I can watch TED again, after reading the article on HN about how TED seems to run, its appeal is lost.

D3lt4··on MIT OpenCourseWare programming lecture videos (in Python)
My only problem with MIT CourseWare is that the video (audio sometimes) is poor quality, I wish they uploaded 720p learning beauty.
D3lt4··on The fake Facebook profile I could not get removed
Some of the points she made were quite good and somewhat scary, but it shows pretty much what facebook has been this whole time, irresponsible, whether it is with privacy or scenarios such as this one.
D3lt4··on The fake Facebook profile I could not get removed
This story was a little too dramatic.
