Its hard to decide whether to get this or a Raspberry Pi, talking to someone who has a Raspberry Pi, they have found that running even a graphical interface like lxde is slow and involves a lot of hacking. Although I fully expected this, I

Will big things be coming? I hope they use that money to grow on the core things they are good at rather than try to capture markets which don't need capturing. They have a unique position in that almost 100% of its users can only say good

I may be old-fashioned, but the idea of any of these "extreme" diets scares me. I have always found that an approach with regular ( 2-3 times a week ) exercise and an conservative approach to eating is better. My usual diet plans for eating

They look great. They have no function, no reason why I can't download the software and I regularly do, but is there not something nice about having a nice case for software like this. Similar to the way I like to buy physical books for tho

This looks like a superb move by Google, I would pick one up if I was there, regardless. Marketing wise, it looks great, and will be a wonderful way to put Chrome in front of people who wouldn't be the type to download or even show interest

In my first year of college, I bagged my first programming job using the Linden Scripting Language. I spent the majority of that Summer working "in-world" as part of Trinity College Dublin's CRITE project. There was some real prospects in t

I fully agree with that sentiment, and I apologize if my comment was in anyway taking away from the article, I do support it, but I think for my own self as a result, I'll make a more noticeable attempt to upvote those that I like. I often

Although I agree with the sentiment, I think its not necessarily correct, if every Show HN is upvoted regardless of what you think, we can end up with a situation where we have a bunch of Show HN links in top 10 which are nothing except the

In some areas perhaps it hasn't got some of the functionality that Dropbox has, but it also seems to be scratching a lot of itches which Dropbox isn't even considering scratching. This is not to say Dropbox should consider. Just I don't thi

I don't understand why Whatsapp don't have an online offering for the computer. I prefer to "text" off my computer if I am working there all day. With a decent input device, I think people who spend any length of time on a computer during t

I'm curious that a similar movement has not been started over something like whatsapp, in my experience, the vast amount of my friends (in the 20-25 year old region) use Whatsapp almost exclusively, and almost always using a 3g connection.

I signed up for the Calculus one. Its an area which I learned by rote in secondary school, and found that when I came to use some of this stuff in college I was lacking. Hopefully when I am doing it because I want to I can further my knowle

A little off topic, but can we please stop using lines like this in articles: because computers suck They do not. Barring only the wonders of the realm of nature, computers are in my opinion one of the most wondrous things, it is a testam

Also worth noting for anyone who is annoyed by the fact that these contacts are automagically added to your android phonebook(For instance Angry Birds apparently warrant a place in my phonebook?) I found a nice setting in Android which only

I think the gold in this article is the authors view of what Google should have done. I agree with pretty much every point, Google by basically declaring Google+ as "their social push" and "facebook killer", they already had their head in t

I'm interested in what else you have in a historic VM collection, I quite like the idea of opening up my VM manager and seeing a list of historic systems? Can you elaborate a little?

If for nothing else, this article has lead me to the paste command. Looks something which would be incredibly useful. Marking it down. Look forward to the rest of the article.

I understand this, but does this mean that it is bi-directional in that a change to one of the palettes would reflect in the image. This is what I understood from the comment. If so, how does this work? Sorry for any misinformation in my co

I could be wrong on this, but we learned about K-means clustering this year in college, as far as I know, the K random exemplars which you use for K-means clusters obviously reduces the number of colors in the image to a certain N ( N <
