fix3r··on Times of London website visits fall by two-thirds
Article about a paywall behind a paywall? Stack overflow...
fix3r··on Finally, a Moscow Metro Map that deson't look like a Soviet relic
London's tube map almost lost the river recently, too, but they quickly put it back on the map.
fix3r··on HN London Meetup
Shoreditch? /sigh Yea, I know it's a "startup hub", but it's also a bit dodgy.
fix3r··on John Gruber: I'll Tell You What's Fair
I don't think that the sentiment was that no one should copy it, but rather that, by copying it, Apple will see them as a legitimate target.
fix3r··on Pixar films don't get finished, they just get released
Musicians and recording engineers have the same saying.

fix3r··on Thanks, UK Government, for Not helping me build my startup
Upvoted only to say that this article is apppalling - FUD all over. (feels strange to "defend" the government, but this dude is way off line).
fix3r··on http://to/ World's Shortest URL Shortener
Have they just broken every single url regex out there?
fix3r··on Acer Liquid could be be the next iPhone Killer
Internet "journalism" has just reached a new low.
fix3r··on Ask HN: What terminal emulator do you use ?
xterm bundled with Leopard.

It supports 256 colors and is very fast. Terminal.app only for quick sessions. If only X11 fullscreen feature worked properly... (should probably try the latest build of XQuartz)

fix3r··on What I Wish I Had Known About Developing C/C++ From Linux Before I Started
Actually, no. The real issue is using compiler's front-end from the IDE itself. While it's true that C++ is hugely complex IDE writers shouldn't try to replace compilers (ie. trying as hard as they might they'll never get around C++ templates and their touring-completeness). MS got this right. gcc and every IDE that relies on it (like Xcode) is crippled in this regard.
