I upgraded, but Fast Dial is broken on 7.0, so I downgraded to 6.0.2. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

"The fact that the department gave a useless reply is no surprise." That's exactly why I asked why it was posted here. This just isn't noteworthy. It seems to me it's being upvoted because of the OP.

It's useful because 3 hours and 2 minutes are figures that I can easily remember, 53B and 600M not so much.

You are right, his email was broader and not just specific to Raspberry Pi. Although I'm still not sure what the OP expected and why this was posted here.

They have some impressive numbers: Mr. Karp said that Tumblr’s growth has exploded in the past year. It’s attracted popular musicians such as Lady Gaga and traffic leapt to 13 billion page views per month from 2 billion page views per mont

I'm not sure why this was posted here. Based on the response, you're knocking on the wrong door? However, the role of this Department is limited to setting the policy framework of the National Curriculum of what is taught in terms of conte

No, no capital news. Almost certainly this is a measurement error or some other mistake. If a couple of years from now nobody found an error and a bunch of independent groups reproduced the results, then it's time for capital news!

The promise of money may be fuzzying your logic. Finance is a domain with a lot of money. So, if you have domain knowledge and can help the firm make a lot of money, you can make a lot of money too. But if you don't, don't expect a dime mor

In this part of the world (Hungary), if you say "I want to make between $X and $Y", it translates to "I'll work for $X". Assuming $X is sensible, they will offer you $X minus 20-30% (sometimes even 50%). You can try to negotiate, though Big

I have a bootstrapped startup, I work long hours for 1/3 my market value (1/25 if I'd move to the US). But, I wrote a distributed database and when we show it to prospective clients and they compare it to the competition and they benchmark

The existing C++ standard, ISO/IEC 14882, was published in 1998 and updated in 2003. The new standard has just been approved, and will hopefully come out in 2011 and will be called C++11. So, a new C++ standard takes about 10 years. For the

There are several different NoSQLs. For example, currently MongoDB is a good choice if you're looking for indices, ad-hoc queries and want to get up and running quickly on eg. a web project. Interestingly, with indices and ad-hoc queries, M

I think the Flickr UX is pretty good, but I've only been a user for a couple of months. So maybe the problem is that the Flickr UX can't grow with the user/photographer?

His site could have failed for a number reasons, such as lack of funding, lack of viral growth (if it was social), or whatever. I think you should be careful not to pick on someone because their startup/project failed. Especially here on HN

Picasa is all integrated with the other Google services (which I'm a heavy user of), but in the case of Picasa it results in a messy UX for me. Eg. I just went to picasaweb.google.com to check out whether it's $5/mo or $5/year, and what is

I'm using Firefox 5.0.1, I just clicked "Check for updates" and it said I'm up-to-date. Shouldn't 6 come out first? Isn't it too early to talk about 7? I think this is bad marketing from Mozilla, they're totally confusing people.
