At the risk of mentioning "that" company, Bing is not a horrible home page. While I still have iGoogle as my home page on most machines, I have two of them with Win 8 where I've found IE to work better, and the Bing home page is not bad. Co

The following quote burns me everytime I see it or it's ilk on blogs: "What matters is the data and keeping it safe, but the cloud is already handling that chore for many of us, making the hardware more or less disposable." No the cloud is

The above is why I love to read HN... However, it seems that at some point here you are better off going back to getting dedicated hosts at a couple different distributed data centers and dealing with the complexity yourself. Surely by the

My question is, how do Haxe and NME relate? I started reading about Haxe, started working with the tool, then found all these references to NME which I'm not clear if it's a subset or a fork or ? Would like to use this for the game I'm work

As the article points out, they couldn't have picked a more appropriate role model. Wonder how many times a day he gets asked if he dreams of Electric Sheep though...

It comes up every year because it's correct. I have read and am familiar with the issue raised in the linked article, and respectfully disagree. I just think that if I can edit a Video file, record my voice over, and have my email running i

FWIW, but all my drives are set to timeoff "Never" because I would rather pay a little more in electricity. Per one of the other comments, even if the drive is spinning, Windows checks the page file first to see if it already "knows" about

Probably because I saw a posting on here some time ago (sorry I can't pull the link off the top of my head) that explained why you saw "Odd" and "Weird" on so many ads on the Weather Channel site. Given that this is my highest voted HN subm

Seems interesting, but I really think you should start with a landing page that gives folks an idea of what the product is, and a couple sample use cases. Then a big button to "Start Using Bookvoid", and then drop them into your sample. As

What I am waiting for is for Apple to come up with a version of an ID that is "safe" to send out into the world with a handicapped child that is incapable of doing her own updates, but that would allow the folks doing her care to ONLY do up

Really? Because the times I've tried to "seriously" answer such questions it became apparent the person asking was looking for "THE" answer. In fact I was halfway into the effect of having seat belts included when the interviewer started ge

I highlighted your question, right-clicked and chose to Google it, and it was answer number 3 on the returned results. I suspect Alpha would give more useful detail, but then I really think that wasn't what you were looking for. Slightly mo

Because we presume that an interviewee is desperate enough that they won't give the "honest" answer - well, I'll google that and see if I can't find someone else who has already found the answer. Seriously, between Google and Wolfram Alpha,

I've found that usually once I get asked one of these, that's the end of the interview. Why? Because I epitomize "think outside the box". You see, there are a number of different bus styles - are we talking a BlueBird full length or their H
