I don't want Hacker News to start having sensationalist headlines...

I'm in Pre-Cal AP at my high school, money's tight and I would love to accept your calculator. The ones they provide at school for free don't have good graphing utilities :/.

Anyway, thanks for the consideration, it's nice enough to see someone offer such thing for free. :D

Edit: Money's tight at my house, but indraneel24 sounds like he needs it more. Please exclude me from this for his benefit. Thanks!

A friend suggested Dynadot. They accept Paypal, which makes it easier to not bother my parents (I'm 15-years-old).

Wow, this gives me a lot of hope in humanity. I'd be mad/sad if I was fired, but knowing that people are looking out for your ass once they drop you really says something about the integrity of that person.

Kudos to the boss, and I hope the ex-employees find some work. :D

Congrats to the Django team for making the big 1.0!

Loads of new (but mostly currently in-place) features make everyone happy! No more newbie confusion on whether to download from the SVN trunk means I can finally sleep peacefully. :D

It's some sites like these that make me wonder,"Why didn't I think of that?"

Plus, it would save me some time answering questions in various IRC channels.

Me too, I've moved to Dynadot for my domain needs after this incident...

Hello Hacker News, I'm a high school student and have been taking Computer Science for two years. A lot of my classmates in the first year had a hard time understanding the concepts that the language carries. In between lessons, I would show them some Python and Ruby (other languages I was looking into). I was wondering what you all felt about Java still being taught as a first programming language.

As for me, I learned a lot of the concepts quicker and got more things done in Python than in Java. Why can't schools change the curriculum? I feel that doing this would make the classes easier and keep more people interested in programming.

I tried registering a domain, and wasn't able to when GoDaddy's servers were being hammered. I'd used GoDaddy for years, but I have to say, I've seen the light, they've lost my service.

Why is it so hard for companies to take my money when I try to hand it to them? They had to have known that the demand was high for these .me domain names. There's no excuse for them to have prepared for this kind of traffic.

Heh, now that I think about it, Apple's iPhone situation is remarkably similar to this one. ;-)
