Very good =Average+Help I sense a discrepancy,like 90 % of drivers think they are good :P

Seems like HN is full of "players"

How about looking at this way...every second person you meet is a college grad! :-)

Not everyone graduates so it is more like every second person you meet has attended college for some amount of time.

Genius.

He said that there is difference between being really good (most mortals can get there given the effort) and being a genius (for that you need to be a god).

Is the notion of 10-X programmers, super cool programmers over-rated?

nice article! For those trying to do research, for research's sake... how many path-breaking PhD's in Computer Science has US produced? (For that matter, any country in the world-but let's stick with US) I feel that the entire culture has been skewed towards incremental improvements. I bet, 90% of papers churned out, would be having conclusions something like.. "improved the performance of X by y% under the conditions L,M,N" where (L,M,N) might be near-impossible to occur simultaneously in real life. You cant disregard/dismiss Gary's points- sure,Apple II might not have been the last technological innovation, but overall- he has raised a valid point.

By chance,even if somebody is eager to explore tourist locations in Jammu&Kashmir, this site would be an instant turn-off!

Well, I did send a mail to them listing out the problems and what they could do.

Though, I am skeptic if my mail will ever be read.

I second that. NIC is pathetically slow. It is Indian Govt. after all.

If you are the guy behind this site.. care to elaborate on the "market cap" of indian matrimony sites? Have you launched recently? profitable? size of user base?

That's definitely world changing... regaining touch with one's near and dear.... The specifics of your girlfriend's case apart....Losing touch with one's own mother.. for 6 years??@!#@!#, and Facebook re-uniting them?? Unless this was a forcible separation due to a natural calamity/war... (in which case my heart-felt sympathies) anything like this is really inexcusable. I really,really find that sad if the current, or future generation would be requiring Facebook/Twitter to keep in touch with one's parents. That trivializes relationships.

I know exactly what you are talking about.

Many-a-times,the urge for putting in "pouring out heart and soul" and do late-nighters takes over common sense.

I have come to the sober realization that debugging with lack of sleep is the equivalent of a drunken monkey controlling the trajectory of a space shuttle. :(
