Does anyone else get strange looks from people who see you reading "Hacker News"?
amjith: I get strange looks all the time and I am beginning to like it. Makes me look cool (just kidding).But HN did get blacklisted and blocked for a little bit by our company proxy which identified it as a hacking information website (which is an accurate description, with a twisted meaning to the word hacker). I had to file a complaint with our IT desk and fortunately one of the guys in the IT department was smart enough to know the true meaning of hacker and unblocked it for us :).
