Since when do you have to be a member of the ios or mac developer programs to download xcode? I'm pretty sure I've downloaded previous versions just using my apple account.
- originalgeek 16y agoSince when do you get downvoted on hn for speaking the truth? Oh, yeah, always.
- orenmazor 16y agoI actually laughed when I saw that happen. amazing.
- aquarin 16y agoVoting has always puzzling me here, but karma is not the pathway to haven.
- originalgeek 16y agoIt's not about the karma, it's about people attempting to silence those who simply speak the truth. HN fades one's comments more for each step below 0. I'm not sure how it works, but I assume eventually your posts fade into the background color.
- tvon 16y agoThe problem seems to have resolved itself.
- scott_s 16y agoAll 62 days of always? Your post and the parent's post were posted one minute apart. If you see a post that you think is unfairly downmodded, upmod it and hope others will be as fair as you are. That approach has worked well for me for some time.
- noarchy 16y agoHell, Xcode was on the OS X install discs. You didn't even need to download it, unless you wanted the latest version. Not anymore, I guess?
- adolph 16y agoTrue, and they sell those install discs for more than $5. Presumably the next OS update will include Xcode 4 on the discs.
- tptacek 16y agoYou did, in fact, download previous versions of Xcode for free, but Xcode 4 has required a $99 developer account until today (Xcode 4 is so much better than Xcode 3 that I was happy to pay it).
