What I want for christmas on news.yc: Everybody fill out your profile! There are too many people here who say useful things, but there's no way to contact you (no, the email field in your profile isn't public).
I imagine few people here have grounds for staying completely anonymous. Not everybody is a rich bastard trying to kick unwashed beggars to the curb.
So click on your name in the upper right hand corner and write something about yourself with contact info. You'll be glad you did!

Or you might be sad when no one ever e-mails you, because then you'll know you only say useless things.
I never noticed that emails were not shared publicly. I always assumed that people I wanted to speak with simply had not filled in that field.
Good call.

Everyone take this time while visiting family to upgrade their browser to something other than IE6. I did my part last night.
My mother got a netbook and I told her chrome was her new browser because it was faster.

Best way to do this is to re-label IE "DO NOT USE" and re-label FF/Chrome/Seamonkey "Internet".
Even if they're on IE7, get them to go to IE8. Less buggy, and it has a js debugger.
Your family probably doesn't need a debugger. Get them onto Chrome.
They'll love the new UI, and it'll silently auto-update so you won't have to upgrade it again.

The people who develop for the browsers that your family is using do need a debugger.
my dad uses firefox, mum chrome
I'm certainly not saying don't use something other than IE. Just some people won't. IE8 is better than IE7.
Please don't. Please get them off the IE stack and onto a browser with a rendering engine developed by a company with an incentive to improve the web. Chrome, Firefox, Safari - all are good. Please dump IE.
Heh I appreciate the intention and Merry Christmas to you too, but is this really needed on HN or worth karma?
Given the mysterious and timely conversion of the site's stylesheet to a Christmas theme, I'd say it's appropriate enough.
Yeah definitely, just like for karma to loosely match someone's contributions. Would have no problem if pg posted this. Oh well it's all good fun :-)
Have a little generosity :) I would give you some of my karma if I could.
I was going to make a gash account last night to post an Xmas thread.
But there was an incident involving alcohol and I forgot :)
Happy Xmas everyone!

Happy non-denominational holiday, which I will spend celebrating family :)
Happy Festivus?
Underappreciated is the full definition:
"The holiday, as portrayed in the Seinfeld episode and now celebrated by many,[citation needed] includes practices such as the "Airing of Grievances", which occurs during the Festivus meal and in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. After the meal the "Feats of Strength" are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, with the holiday ending only if the head of the household is actually pinned."
(Wikipedia, obviously)

Merry Xmas and for Seinfeld fans: Happy Festivus
(as Kramer says, "Festivus for the rest of us!").
May there be lot of festivus miracles. :)
Merry Christmas!
Happy Midwinter Celebrations to all of you!
Get off HN, turn off the computer, and enjoy the wonderful sin of gluttony.
Merry Christmas.
