What gives?



Somebody get this guy a medal!

Lol. Maybe they can make the original post a sticky so people won't keep asking the same thing? Is that even possible on HN?


Even though it will be changed back, I will still say I don't like it. Hacking and IT don't need political correctness, they need freedom of expression.

Ask yourself, "What would Katt Williams say about this change?" He would probably say something like - "Hacker Please!"


This thread will tell you all you need to know:

not interesting, stimulating, or significant; pallid; insipid: an innocuous novel

(third definition at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/innocuous)

Should we take a vote on a new name?


Or we could just go back to hacker news. And stop sweating what other people would think about us reading it.
