Isn't this why the stuff out of the Entertainment & Devices division is doing so well? My understanding is that E&D are not as strongly shackled to corporate culture and runs as a semi-autonomous unit making its own decisions, albei

I used PamFax [1] yesterday. 12 cents per page, hooks into your existing accounts (I used Google Accounts, but there was Facebook, Skype). No subscription. Far, far, far better proposition, and likely just as quick as it uses accounts for a

Let me know when you find out how to do it. I have my www. subdomain pointing to Google Sites, and I'd love for the naked domain to go there too.

Sadly, as it is a personal name, the only value to competitors would be squatting, which as other HN'ers have rightly said, would put it square in line for losing a dispute with the NIC.

This is excellent, thank you so much!

Well, TM is not an issue because the domain name is my actual name, so I wouldn't lose a dispute over it. I didn't ever say I was squatting, all I have done is said that I own this domain, it is mine, I get your email, and I forward it to

Ask HN: How much is my domain worth?

It's interesting how you railed on people earlier for mentioning that responsiveness and animations weren't great, and yet you have animations turned off.

Well sure, if you want to take it that way :) I just meant "Does this OS feel like it is fully baked?" and it sort of doesn't, because the jerkiness makes you feel like you're interacting with an OS, not a physical item. You have to sit a

The two complaints you just aired are engineering complaints -- GPU usage by the core UI, and as a related complaint that the zoom speed of the browser isn't great (which again is GPU usage -- on the iPhone it is simply zooming in on a sur

While true, I don't necessarily think that the opinion should be discounted. I have been looking to buy a Nexus S this week, I went to Best Buy, $530 in hand, but I vowed to play with it first. The demo unit was not good. Google have let th

Why not just have all the boats going at all times (assuming there is a line)? I presume each boat has an overhead... extra handler(s) required, wear and tear on the boat itself, boats that are out on the water aren't able to be repaired.

I love checking in with this slide deck from time to time. I'm not a language nerd by any means, but I wonder how much of the reliability issues are now "solved". It seems that Scala would do a lot of what is required, if only checked excep

Absolutely. Unit testing is just one gun in your automated testing arsenal. When I was working as a web dev and I saw Selenium for the first time, my jaw dropped. I totted up all the hours I'd wasted of my life hitting refresh buttons, beca

you're not measuring the time properly, using memory to estimate the difference. It's easy to discount the time re-running the program every time to check the result, and think you spent more time than you did writing tests because that se

re: Large Files... there's no reason the files have to be transmitted to the server anyway, the app could access local storage just fine. This probably indicates that the "save" paradigm is broken, and instead we'll need to start thinking a

This rather assumes that the browser could not be improved upon. I kind of feel like Tom... Chrome OS is actually what Android will turn into, not the other way around. The downloadable app paradigm is working fine for Apple, but it's been

Yes, pretty much. It's all relative. Food and commodities are much, much cheaper in the US than Europe.

...although there is a cost of living aspect to factor in (not that that accounts for that large a difference, of course).

Yeah, I'm beginning to worry about some CS disciplines, especially Software Engineering. SoftEng appears to be playing catch-up to industry in a number of sub-disciplines, due to the pace of knowledge sharing across the net exponentially in

I read a much longer article about this, and I wish I knew where it was, but the oversupply problem is far more pronounced in the humanities, where the average time to graduate is peaking towards 10 years, yet all the PhD confers is the abi

I think you'd need to wait for the people involved to leave their jobs. I'm not sure Adelson has shown too much willingness in talking either. There's not a lot to gain from it.

Agreed. Haskell is amazing at Project Euler... but it doesn't prove anything about it's real world applicability.

This is actually a reasonably good search. It does highlight the clashes decently well. I would like it if Google expanded this to allow you to prioritize. Prioritizing advanced reading level documents seems like it would be of value to me.

The funny (as in strange, not haha) thing is when I read that 200ish number, the first thing that popped into my head was "that seems cheap." I've either been completely miscalibrated by the supposed GroupOn valuation, or I really liked Her

I wasn't necessarily saying Facebook should be used as the identity mechanism, just a Facebook share button so people could put it on their News Feed.

I think this is pretty neat, and I do like the Twitter integration a lot. I'd also like to see Facebook integration, so people can announce their attendance. Also adding the event to TripIt might also be useful. Here's one I just set up in

Having met Kohsuke at various Hudson meetups, and worked with the Hudson code somewhat, I can definitely attest to him being the smartest coder I've interacted with. He's not just a productivity dynamo, but he's just a great coder. This was

Why do you hate it so much? People can just as easily get your photos from your Photos library instead. Is it simply an aesthetic complaint?

The general feeling was/is that the US is able to choose who they wish to extradite (or kidnap, depending on country) whenever they wish. However, when your own nationals are being held, like Guantanamo Bay, you can't do anything about it.
