on: 19-year-old hacker reveals how he rigged voting machines and election in Brazil
I actually work in a company that has a similar voting system. We print out a card, and we also burn the content of the vote in a rfid chip, that voters can check themselves. The rfid speeds up the counting, but you can always do the manual count to check up with the system. Neither the machine nor the card contain any information that can identify the person, so we can preserve the anonimity. Perhaps you can check out our site :)

on: Ask HN: How you manage your to-do list? Are you happy with it?
I used workflowy for a long time and I think it's brilliant, but now I need to keep up with complex tasks, so I'm using tiddlywiki - that allows me to link between tasks, and make notes of relevant things to my tasks

on: I analyzed the chords to 1300 popular songs for patterns. This is what I found.
I'm amused by the fact that this person doesn't seem to know that chords per se - and the analysis of them - is practically useless because they can and actually do vary from version to version of the same song. The thing that matters is how the chords are related (modes and progressions).

on: The Death Of Point-and-Shoot Cameras
Tell this to my mom. She doesn't even know how to send or read SMS, but she still wants to take pictures at my birthday. I think we still have one or two generations that need the point-and-shoot

on: The Strange Case of John Dillinger and the Fraudulent Apple ID
I thought it was an Apple mistake. At least five of the people I follow on Twitter received this John Dillinger mail, and there's a person in the comments saying he/she received the same mail. (And all these persons have nothing to do with each other)

on: Ask HN: How can I convince my co-founders not to use a LAMP stack and should I?
>When I said plan for success I didn't mean PHP can't scale it was related to the lower argument that very few people under 25 uses PHP anymore.
I wonder where you get your statistics. The three most popular languages I know people under 25 uses (I'm under 25 myself) are .NET (well, not a language, but I mean mostly C#), Java and PHP. Maybe this has to do with the enviroments where this kids learn to code.

I'd like to add: get a job, any job, and finish high school. It's always a good idea.

Someone lended me a tablet for a week. I didn't install a single application.... everything I needed was on the browser (Twitter / Facebook / Mail / Searching on Google)

on: Why not to attend college
I find curious the fact that he thinks that Physics and Calculus "have anything to do with Computer Science". Prerequisites are there for a reason.

on: Show HN: Cilantro ("About.me for restaurants"). Feedback wanted.
It would be nice to see a link to a sample site in the homepage (the screenshot works... but I want to see it in action). I got the idea, but I want to see how the site could look like without having to create one.

on: A hacker's guide to college
Here in Argentina, the best colleges are the public ones. And they are free. I study at the National Technology University (UTN) (it's a public university that focuses on Engineering degrees), and we pay an optional fee of 20 pesos argentinos (about 5 dollars) per semester.
I believe college is about opening your mind and adquiring a framework for your life. "Learning to learn" is possibly the best description.
