GMali··on 100% Uptime for Web Applications
It says in the article that "In 2007, only 3 of the top 20 websites were able to achieve 5 nines or 99.999% uptime." Among the top 3 was Myspace. Which is funny because you need traffic to worry about Uptimes...
GMali··on Perspective: All of Earth's Water in a Single Sphere
How likely is it that this sphere of water actually collided with our Earth billions of years ago? What is the possibility of even more such "water meteoroids" flying around nearby galaxies?
GMali··on Scaling GitHub
Can someone explain what exactly he meant by "throttling the google bot"?
GMali··on Show HN: My Zappos/Twilio hackathon entry
Apart from the comments seen here, just a small bit of advice from me: Fix the color of your ordered list. I noticed that it's gray for "li" in general, and white for "#splash ol li", but its still gray in Chrome for Ubuntu.

Strange how nobody here has mentioned http://clixpy.com

Although it's more strange that the site's down atm.

And if you really get stuck, try removing vowels and repeating some letters
GMali··on How many .com domains are available?
And out of those, how many are parked?
GMali··on Google Search By Image
It actually should. Probably put FBI out of business too.
GMali··on Google humans.txt
Apparently, Facebook does not have any humans.
GMali··on Blackberry App for Hacker News
Can't believe there isn't one for BB already. Good Job!
GMali··on Show HN: Review my project: Git Code Press, blogging via git
Great idea! But I think you meant hot "off" the press.
GMali··on Create pretty qr codes
I always wondered how these were created...
GMali··on Why startups in India find it hard to hire devs
#3 is actually the main issue, in my opinion.
