This happens because there are time zones that are significantly more active than others on the parts of the internet one tends to use. Sure, there's content being uploaded when it's 10:00 in Japan or China, but except for what's coming fro

I assume you live in Europe, the USA or maybe Canada. In much of the world, people are still using CRTs or ten-year-old LCDs in large amounts.

>>In the context of software, "piracy" has come to mean downloading and distributing copyrighted material. Odd, I thought if I downloaded, say, a game from a warez site I would be branded a pirate even if I didn't distribute it afte

Well, "pirated" is probably not the right word for anything less than armed robbery of a boat. But lately it's been used as a synonym of "copyright infringement", so maybe it applies.

The Code of Hammurabi was not the corpus of babylonian law, it was a record of some case law.

Travail (like trabajo) means labor, effort. It's different from "empoi" ("empleo" in español), which has a bigger relation with being useful, and is also less commonly used.

There a lot of great, fun games with no redo. The entire concept of a roguelike is based on death being permanent and having to start over. FTL, Spellunky, The Binding of Isaac and Dungeons of Dredmor are all recent examples of games that e

In theory, you are right. The question we ask the patent office is eminently philosophical and unsolvable. In practice, however, that's not important. What important is the economical function the patent office has. Which is, to use granted

Well, alien illness probably won't kill us. Without a common ancestry, it's highly unlikely that anything that uses an alien as a host can live in our bodies.

Seriously? "Zuran Orb vis-à-vis Claws of Gix"? You either need a 0 cost artifact for a combo, in which case they are the same, or they serve quite different purposes, in which case, why are you comparing them?

The same thing happenend in Argentina a few years ago. Not enough coins were coined, and since the bus used a machine that only took coins, thye were in high demand (there was even a point where you could sell coins for up to 120% of their

Even if the game continued to make sounds? That should give him at least a moment's pause.

Both meanings would be equally unproductive. If your post deserves up or downvotes, let it stand on it's merit. Anything else is an attempt to game the system and adds nothing to the discussion.

one of the downfalls of voting websites like HN, reddit, or even the whitehouse.gov platform is people who know nothing get their votes counted the same as people who are experts on the subject. Can't the same be said of elective democra

Try delivering your reply without the sexism. What you said is offensive.

Computer Science us a scientific career (the name is a dead tip-off), and as such you shouldn't expect to learn how to start a company if that's your field of study. There is some common ground between what's needed to be a computer scienti

Yeah, waking up at dawn on a coach in the middle of the Pampa is a great experience. The front seats on the upper floor have a stunning cockpit view. I've done it on the trip from Bariloche to Buenos Aires and from Buenos Aires to Tilcara,

Ok, how about the fact that we've halved extreme poverty since the 1990? Or the worldwide increase of life expectancy (Africa's average almost reached 55 this year)? AIDS and malaria are both in decline. And apparently we accomplished the

Edmund didn't use the word piracy. That was just some editorializing by the Kotaku reporter and has since been removed. I think what Edmund wants is to rant a bit about how Canonical says he "declined to make their game available" when it w

Judging by it's popularity despite the lack of any kind of advertising campaign, I'd say it caters to a kind of player that isn't you, not that it's a terrible game. (Disclaimer: BoI is my favorite game of 2011)

On a similar vein to that of the japanese traffic lights, here in Buenos Aires traffic lights for people used to be green and red, but at some point they changed to white and red. However, people still say "verde" (green) for the white ligh
