It is very likely he was informed on. (Grassed / Snitched) One of the better broadsheet newspapers here in the UK had an article on Lulzsec/Anonymous, and one of the best comments they made was: "Hackers fear other hackers more than law enf

Or chopsticks. Assuming someone hasn't patented a stick. (Or come to think about it, the chewing process.)

Does it bug anyone else that the Acorn Atom, Commodore Amiga et al are referred to as Consoles? It's bad enough that the current crop of what I would call consoles have no keyboard, and you need to break the law to write code for them unles

iOS mainly: Sounds need to be triggered by touch events, which of course for gaming seriously restricts what you can do. EG: No sound effect from an alien shooting at you.

For me, the biggest problem I have trying to use HTML5/Javascript/CSS for a game is sound. I can't get background music and sound effects working simultaneously under iOS using just those standards.

Would this work, or can it work with UK transactions in UK £ Sterling? I absolutely love the idea and would like to integrate something like it into a project I'm working on.

It's a shame these type of apps are now against the app store TOS. I'd be interesting to hear your experience of what happened to yours. I had to dig about on Installous to find one, what was yours called?

I'm assuming as people much smarter than I will comb through this for back doors, that this is a great thing? I'll download it and see what the wise folks say in the morning.

Having looked back, it seems the Instapaper blog has been redacted. But I ask the questions: Has it been proved the equipment was fairly taken? I thought over the Atlantic pond it was "Innocent until proven guilty." It seems guilt was assum

Well said. There is no difference between what Lulzsec and Anonymous do, compared with the FBI storming into a data centre without warrants and grabbing hardware. None at all. In fact, the FBI did more damage.

I completely agree with it being about killing the public aspect. I'm wondering how this all /may/ fit into the long term view of patents for all parties mentioned here. If an idea is born, and they have a good patent on it, there should be

I gave it about two hours. To me it's more intuitive to scroll my two fingers down to scroll down the page. Granted, it is odd that it's the opposite way round on the iPhone which I use almost as much as my laptop. Go figure!

You can command-click any number of mailboxes to group them, and it threads them as it should. Wonderful feature.

You can put it back the old way in the system preferences. Thank god!

"Anybody" who has the password to the Lulzsec Twitter account. Or who, very unlikely, hacked Twitter.

Agreed. An image Lulzsec use as their identity linked below, for those that don't get the joke they made: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7c/Lulz_Sec...

Whilst I'm not pulling, for a couple of months I've decided not to push them there. This whole cloud of uncertainty needs to go away.

Good customer support experience: My laptop went wonky, and it appeared to me to be the HDD. Took it into Apple store, they agreed and quoted me £156 for replacement HDD. I happily agreed. Next morning, they called to say it was ready. When

If I now do a search at google.co.uk for "jquery 1.6.2" the linked article is the first hit. The .IT in question site is the fourth. Things move fast on the interweb, I can't agree with anyone claiming this is Googles fault. With the size o

Google is providing a service that gives search results based on keywords you enter. They try to be helpful by ranking them in some fashion, but at the end of the day it's up to you how you use the results that are returned.

Thanks all for taking the time to clear that up for me.

Ah :-) So I should have used the text option then? A broken link gets it immediately marked down? Makes sense.

I just happened to be looking at my Twitter feed the very moment they posted, and clicked the link immediately. No go. Would this effect happen so quick? I guess they do have a lot of followers, but I'd hope that even if all of them did wha

Off topic, sorry, but not sure where I'd ask this. I posted this news 15 minutes before this submission. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2659263 Can someone explain to this newbie why mine disappeared so quickly, but this stayed? I do
