A quick dive into any PHP-related topic on HN should yield significant answers. Part of the hatred comes from the fact that the way people know PHP is from 2005, when it was essentially one really long procedural program. It's not so m

Throw in a couple 50GB game downloads, some TV, some music, file downloads and you'll easily break 250GB. Netflix HD will chew throw bandwidth pretty fast, especially if you have a couple people in the house watching at the same time.

Protests against the government shouldn't require a permit from the government. That's really, really dumb, I'm sure we can all agree.

Why is the pixel "horribly overpriced"? The hardware is better than a MBA, imo. If there were drivers for win 8, it would be my next notebook.

"It satiates intellectual curiosity without providing any real mental nutrition." i take issue with that. You're saying that it's better to do /absolutely nothing/ with your time then stimulate intellectual tho

Has something changed? The last time I went to use hiphopvm it didn't even have proper support for php 5.4 (broken namespacing and traits, too I believe). That said, it was basically unusable.

My guess is that it's a security thing. Even if they don't know the security key, I would prefer if they kept no record of the message. The real issue is that they could just make a lever that would still store "secret chats,

Underground parking provides plenty of avenues for people to own a car if they want. However, these cities are so well connected that it doesn't make sense to own a car because it's easier to walk, and given the option, people wou

tap done. No handing cards, picking up terminals, signing receipts, checking signatures or any other nonsense. It's also secure--tapping is chip compliant. You can also have more than one card on your phone.

Definitely used this app for quite sometime. I did notice that it had required a number of permissions, so one day I decided to ditch it out of principle. For those looking for an alternative, I've been using the Telsa light, and lovin

Yes. The lost currency is essentially removed from the pool. The result is deflation--because there is less supply, the currency is worth more. Goods cost the same, so the bitcoin value for a certain product/service drops. At least thi

I'd tend to believe that if you have a badass business deal that is truly worth 1B, you have know-how to get it off the ground, and have exceptional presentation skills (its all about the sell, at this point) a VC wouldn't say no

I thought you don't have knowledge about PS3 reliability? How can you say that every Playstation generation has been "plagued with issues"? You're ignoring their most recent efforts.

I know that /* ... */ is obviously a placeholder for more code, but I find the fact that it looks like a "dead" or "paralyzed" face to be much more amusing (and, for that matter, relevant)

They are, but if you wish to exchange currency to/from real dollars, then you need to use an exchange like this, who will "trade" you BTC for currency. Unfortunately, if you had currency stored with the exchange, but did not

They're not an illegal monopoly though. Paying for what bandwidth costs is the crux of my argument. We're both arguing for what is essentially usage-based-billing ;-)

oh, that wouldn't change. but instead of: $59.99 - 300GB @ 50mbps, $69.99 - 300 GB @ 75 MBPS, $79.99 - 300 GB @ 100MBPS you'd see, in the future mind you, $59.99 - 300GB @ 128 MBPS, $69.99 - 500 GB @ 128 MBPS, $79 - 800 GB (or, al

My hope is that they eventually conform all plans into one (at a locked speed/price), and then offer plans in varying amounts of capacity at a certain speed. Much closer reflects a usage-based model, which makes sense for internet bill
