(Austin Powers voice) Yay capitalism!

Edit: Have people not seen Austin Powers? Do I need to add the /s?



I think of HN as Slashdot of old, filtering out any comments less than +4, and minus the “humour” tag. So, no, /s won’t cut it I’m afraid.


As a reader of the old slashdot and a non-native speaker, the progress of score on my comments give me mixed emotions. It first gets a small bump, then hit in the head to -1/-2, making me question my thinking, ideas and my English skills for conveying them.

Then, after a random time, it gets back to 0 and gets a small or a big bump depending on support, converting my comment to a small battleground which is kinda amusing. :D
