I think they had to make some concessions to the OEMs when they first started with Android, and the custom builds and fragmentation are a result of that. OEMs and carriers wanted to customize their phones and Google, not having a foot in th

I think the people concerned about 'always on' recording are missing the fact that one could just put a piece of masking tape over the camera.

I want to see someone use this to print out a 3d structure in the same way a 3d printer does. Not that it would be efficient or sane, but it would look really cool to see the infill and what not.

I think there is a real possibility that Linux will be a legitimate gaming platform from this point on thanks to steam and html5 games, it will still take a few years to knock MS off their throne due to the proprietary nature of DirectX and

Would writing a DSL that compiled down to MUMPS be out of the question?

I've always wondered how one would find a contact within such a community. I know there's an old joke about looking for a job at the NSA: "The NSA offers exciting and interesting work for recent college graduates in mathematics and computer

When I was on my company's R&D team, we were looking at possibly designing a car. One of our ideas was regenerative braking (nothing new, I admit). Basically, you can use several types of pump or motor as a generator when run in reverse

My auto Mazda 3 has 'manumatic' shifting, and you can downshift to slow down in it. I guess it's not really the same though as the computer does a lot of shifting and timing for you even in manumatic mode.

This is sad. Nuclear proliferation can be a good thing (energy), but it can also be a bad thing (weapons). NK only does this to get attention from other nations and feel like they are on the same level as them. The end result is food aid to

I think API versioning is important for this very reason. It's also important for developers to update their code to run on newer versions of the API so companies can drop support for the old API eventually.

Did you sign an agreement when you purchased the hardware stating such? If it's the EULA, can you just not read/agree to it before you modify the phone? Also, EULA may be a contract but it's not law.

This is awesome. The algorithm seems to have some trouble with glasses and headphones, but works pretty well otherwise. It's such a simple idea, and with the new web technologies becoming widespread, I expect that we will see more of this s

One thing worth noting, in my opinion, is that this has an API. The official Minecraft build is supposed to be getting an API as well, and I'd suspect that it will be similar to this API (but I could be wrong). Also, here's a guide someone

That's some great advice, I'll start doing that!

Ah, that explains it then. I didn't realize he wasn't actually looking for jobs and was just trying to get the recruiters to stop harassing him. One of my professors had been harassed by recruiters like this, but I haven't had that happen.

I'd be willing to write in brainfuck exclusively for 200k. This guy has it good, doubt he'll ever find a job with that kind of attitude. He could be ol' Don Knuth, still wouldn't get a job from anyone worth working for. Although, with that

I think you should have had some demo or something ready before you published it to HN. I really like the graphics and style, can't wait to see how your program works!

I've become more and more interested over the years in computer usability for the blind and vision impaired. I still feel like there's a lot of room to improve these things. Being able to navigate a web page and interact with it just seems

Hopefully virtualenv has fixed that issue, do you think it could be implemented after the fact in clusters?

You can make a retainer contract with your attorney. If you had the money hidden or in the attorney's protection I suppose you could get around having your assets frozen, but it would be difficult to predict the cost before you've even been

Most of the money is spent on passing FDA approval and testing. Research is a small portion of the cost, you are correct there. The real problem with patents is that they don't protect the idea, they put it in public and try to give a monop

The path idea is a great one! If the original dev doesn't add that I may be tempted to try building my own regex tool with these features.

Interesting, I assume they've done their market research with this. They never asked me, maybe it was some of you other TWC customers.

This is a great idea, but I have a few concerns. First, you would want to make the stamp out of a material that is anti-bacterial, otherwise you're spreading grease and germs from people's faces to other people's faces via the stamp. I'm al

You should pirate all of your software you previously purchased. If you've already paid for it, there's no reason you shouldn't have access to it. Laws be damned, that's my opinion.

I guess the conservatives get to reap what their racist, pro-slavery ancestors sowed.
