I remember this too... pretty sure it had something to do with reddit.

I can vouch for this too... I play World Of Warcraft (aging.. but still 3D) using the ATI drivers and it actually runs better than it does on Windows. The only thing I have issues with when using the closed source drivers is standby (it nev

As more of the world goes digital and becomes accessible on the public internet, more damage can be done. Attacking power grids, wall street, phone networks etc could very easily cause chaos, whilst it isn't as terrifying as blowing a count

And I thought this was just me... these days I would like to call myself a power user, but I remember back in the days of dial up internet and napster... I'd click the "Advance Options" just so I knew what was there

I don't know about this... Anonymous blocked access to twitter and facebook, surely that is censorship in itself?

I don't understand why people are voting this guy down. That certainly wasn't a violation, ethically at least. You told him to call you back!

The default apps work fine for me... I use "notes" and sync it with my google account using the default mail app. The only 3rd party app I use a lot is "WhatsApp" - and that's just to text some friends around the globe. I then have a few ga

Hmm... it's interesting to watch. I know a friend who put almost his life savings into this, I told him it was crazy and I told him this would happen listing reasons. But he seemed sure it would climb...

They are just like petty criminals in real life, you've seen what surveillance and legislation does in real life... virtually nothing. The smarter ones go into the cracks and the shadows (Tor) which just leaves us folk being monitored for n

I've noticed that hasn't been updated in a while... we're on FF12 now aren't we? And Chrome 18?

... how the hell do you do that? Not that I want to, just interested how those domains show up when you do a whois search.

Before '95 I'm sure anyone you asked, who was online, could tell you about basic HTML, circumventing blocks, security and even some basic CS knowledge. These days, everybody is online, mainly for easy to use services like Facebook, they don

It's the same as what my mobile network (O2) do as well, I tried to read a news article to do with poker, and I got a "This content is rated as over-18. Please call us to have it unblocked" (paraphrased - as I can't remember precisely what

I love that analogy and want to vote you up... but I don't agree with what you're saying XD

The iPhone app I use to access HN when I'm on the move goes one further. It removes the name from everyone, still lets me reply... but doesn't show me the username. Now in all honesty I think something broke it last year because it used to

I sympathize with the provider here, if the systems weren't designed to take the heat, do they continue trying to defend (at the risk of the other 1.5 mil) when they believed they couldn't keep everything online, or discuss with the user ho

Social Automation? Is it just me or do the two just not go together? I like the fact that when I look at my G+ account, I only see what others want to share, took the time to share. It's a nice break from FB and Twitter...if I was running g

Thank you for the reply :) I was wondering if it would be possible to just build on an existing web client? I was hoping to move to a community based help desk later, but just have 1:1 for now, I offer both free and paid hosting and it conv

One question... whilst the internet has made stalking easier, can't the opposite also be true? It's much easier to shake off a stalker by using a different handle...

I also remember this! I was designing flash programs on the rubbish school computers that still had IE6. I think I ended up using something like this to bypass it: http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorials/Flash-ActiveX-Micro...

I remember a few years back, I was on the phone to a friend of mine a lot and I kept hearing a beep. I asked her what it was, she said she couldn't hear it. Now I remember she had a Nokia 5800, so someone I don't speak to any more has all l

Very constructive argument that told both sides and explained points very well, really got me thinking, thank you. :)
