Hackernews gone 2 seed
Bye. As a long time reader/poster (2007FEB22) I'm used to the upswing in trolls, stupid comments and general whiny readers.
The lack of transparency is why Hackernews isn't worth my time. It's no longer a fun place to be. You can read about why below (moderator creating throw-away account to justify title change).
Funny enough, I quit reading/posting/commenting on slashdot back in 2006/07 for similar reasons.
==== start ====
Raspberry Pi runs XBMC; reliably decodes 1080p
"... This is well known. This "news" is very old ..."
Old? How long has RaspberryPi been released, this year? It's one thing to have a chip that will do this, quite another to have the chip on a usable system that you can program for $35 setup.
Either way, it's not old news for me. That's why I posted it.
next day
"... Even if you're amazed by it, you could have at least found an article about results ..."
Not sure what you mean about 'results'? Could you find one for me and post it?
"... Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading ... Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. ..." ~ ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
(so is this a moderator post commenting back? - notice a title change & this comment on a new account. If so, moderator, stop being so snarky)
