Mahalo is the top result here. Brazilian Google, but with language set as English. Removing the .br from the url takes Mahalo to the second place. http://www.google.com.br/search?client=opera&rls=en&...

I haven't seen many of this posts here in HN. And when there IS one, it can always be flagged into oblivion. But I share your pain. Second class citizenship is an abomination.

She was clearly trying to upset the viewers and nothing more. If this isn't evidence for the Westboro-is-just-here-to-sue-anyone theory, I don't know what could be. What can be done in a situation like this? Legally, they seem to be using a

It works well for 99% of the time, but when it doesn't, this design decisions make the experience frustrating. I'm-going-to-write-a-blog-post-and-boycott-this-thing frustrating. And if the description is not clear (as in the Rdio example),

If this is all automated as they claim, that's a hell of a good job. Poster, length, rating, credits, synopsis and trailer, everything one could ask for. And then they throw a full-sized screencap as the page background. Brilliant.

The author said he ripped the same number of commits from each language, so it's naturally normalized. The number of different projects ripped, on the other hand, could help skew the results of the unpopular languages.

That`s why I love plastic ice cubes. Keep in the freezer for some time so the water inside will freeze and enjoy your non-watered down drinks!

Good idea, but there would have to be cheats, be it for urgent tasks or because of a reinstall.

Three Words Industrial Strength Magnets. Priceless. The guy's pretty intelligent (duh) and funny. Fortunately, he seems to be accepting the challenge quite well. Last thing we need after such an AI breakthrough is someone complain

Because you don't store personal documents and credentials in your VCR or stereo. Traps for future data collection are also not possible, as far as I know.

I still can't understand why they added the "feature" in first place. Sure, automatic execution of setups and the like is very convenient, but even a small "are you sure you want to run this" dialog would have closed the security hole most

I always thought the hardest part of the learning curve was understanding the game itself, not the interface. What each workshop does, why that dwarf have been in bed for two months, what pissed the elves. Not saying it's perfect either, bu

Dwarf Fortress. By far the most complex game I've ever played, and yet the interface was simple. The dozen-items menu you see on screen is just a block of text telling you the hotkeys. Nothing to click, push or drag, no focus to worry about

Now that you mentioned, I don't remember a single instance of a person speaking in my dreams. But I can't figure out if it was just a lack of language as general or if people communicated telepathically. Either way... that's unsettling.

I think the issue is similar with bilingual people. Since I started speaking English, my thoughts regularly switch from one language to another, especially when I can't remember the word I want in that language. It's also a great exercise d

They have been there for quite a while, and humans are great at adaptation. If we couldn't be reasonably healthy at such conditions, humanity would have been extinct long ago.

What happens when the person who received the poke indicates three guesses? Do the two people left out receive emails too? If so, I think this could quickly spiral into a pyramid scheme.

Our life expectancy and education is literally thousands of years ahead of anything they have. You can argue about violence, capitalism and religion, and I'd agree, but parts of our culture are better then theirs in easily measurable ways

Maybe some group of loggers left it a while ago? There's a chance it's only indirect contact. [EDIT: or maybe inter-tribal trade, as someone else mentioned]

They have two eyes with slightly different perspectives, and there's also the atmosphere to color blue things that are far away, so they have some idea of how far is it. Knowing how far and how big it looks like, you can estimate the real s

"Get bent", "This website is not yours anymore", "Deal with it"... Frankly, I think a little "this website is offline because they didn't pay their bills" would be enough, given the web designer is being honest about the whole situation.

Transmitting your location by phone? "nearfeed.com, code 05-93-37" is a lot less error prone then spelling out addresses. Seems kinda limited, though.

Very simple, almost no moving parts, working well. I just found the URL strange. Is this temporary?
