Really? It's a purely technical question with one correct answer--exactly the sort of questions that StackOverflow wants. It is not a question that would breed discussion, have a list of answers or have no correct answer, which is what gets closed.



Sorry, I was being facetious. You're completely right. It's just that's the automatic assumption I make when I see a SO question that's deemed interesting enough to get upvoted on HN


I wish that were true. Useful stuff is closed all the time. Which is good, because we are totally running out of bits on the internet!
