The letters are written by individuals trying to make the collective follow their orders. It's inevitable that the letters that surface are the ones that made the bigger impact, and to get there they have to be well written. The penises and

The face recognition part was too good for not picking up the face of other people. Or was it detecting just the most similar face? But facial recognition aside, the uses are endless. If it can be brought to the same level Kinect driver

I can't recall the source, but this "max eye frame rate" was shown to be a misinterpretation. The individual eye's components do have a frame rate, but they are not synchronized, so the eye as a whole can detect changes smaller than that.

But Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica don't claim to hold the universal truth or try to convince people to follow a specific lifestyle based on that. On a site note, my GGP post earned me my 666th karma point. Very suitable.

Somebody better update the people using it as an anti-science argument. Edit: I'm serious. Conservapedia used to have an article about it and how it discredits the scientific model and whatnot. There's a huge knowledge gap between this view

But there's also the issue of how the public would see it. Everyone can understand "we are making a base in space" and why it's awesome. If the public didn't approve the collider, be it because of ignorance or not, it might have been cancel

A very good video, but I think it would be fair to explain it's not official. I clicked thinking it was something along the lines of IBM's 100.

I'm almost certain it was because of the first three letters."LOL" and even the simple "haha" are rarely seen as suitable in HN.

I won't upvote GP because it contains a factual error and you can't upvote only parts of a comment. If it was edited to include a note about the mistake, thus dismissing the error, I'm sure it'll get get some votes.

Comparing the software revolution with a robot revolution is just unfair. The hardware part that fueled the software revolution was multi-purpose, so there was a fixed initial cost while the cost to develop the subsequent (amateur) programs

As a layman, I've grown to associate "new phase of matter" with concepts that I'll never hear about again. It sounds like "there's a hole here, but we made a cork for it, and guess what, it fits!", aka too much model rearranging. Said that,

When the client loads the page, the server sends a hash of the timestamp and asks for the client to store it. When the client submits the form, it also sends the stored hash. This exploits the fact that bots don't usually run javascript or

I'm personally opposed to this worldview, along with all the praise to "talent". I don't see it as natural, but requiring practice and dedication. From my point of view, "everyone has a purpose" is actually harmful because people will hop o

I think daily would be perfect. Only when you have something pending, of course, or it'll look too spammy when you come back from a vacation.

I already opened an Issue in github about this. Accordion is fine here. Opera 11.01, Win7. I'm impressed everything else worked so well, Opera is usually neglected.

Loved the presentation. When I saw the team, the first thought I had was "oh god, this is going to be awkward". I'm happy to be wrong. A few questions: - how do you know your character? I see there are letters on them, but how is this relat

I see that as noise, and I prefer to downvote noise. Not voting is reserved for comments with very small contributions or opinions I disagree with and don't seem properly justified. But that's just me. I agree that downvoting is a harsh pun

About the downvotes: "Congrats Josh" and "Woot go Josh!" don't add anything. If they were "Josh sucks!", they would be downvoted equally.
