Why is it that Nokia gets ripped apart for this, but Opera-mini gets a free pass? This is not the default behavior for Internet Explorer, you'd have to opt-in.

This is not the default browser installed on the phone.

Wow Jesus Christ. This isn't the default on Nokia phones. You'd have to specifically NOT use the default browser and download the Nokia browser to be exposed to this.

Not everyone reacts that way, which suggests to me it's not "natural".

It's not hard to be honest with people when I don't look down on them because they're not as educated as I am... If an officer is being disrespectful and you dislike him, that's fine. If he's being disrespectful and you immediately think "L

I have no idea whether or not that image is accurate, but it's worth noting the image deals solely with mobile-related patents. This lawsuit was related to the H.264 on the Xbox.

Well it's a relief to know you only belittle people behind their backs.

Why would they silently redirect? Why not have a closeable banner that reads "Your browser may not support features necessary to run this website." Also feature detection would be preferable to user agent detection.

Oh my good God, your post could be the Wikipedia example for "Hindsight Bias".

>they'll show you why it's a much more practical unit for what they do. Why? Why is it more practical? How is it better other than being more familiar? It blows me away that people can make the argument as it being "better".

Wow, it's certainly interesting to see how the consensus on Piracy changes on HackerNews when it's iOS apps and not music/media that's being downloaded. The article even goes so far as to call it stealing and not one person has piped up to

I wonder if the author is simply trolling with the first post. He says: "This myth has many forms, with many attempts to explain the magic power away in terms of some physical characteristics– 1. Programmers who have a penis are good 2. Pro

Wow that swiping issue sounds pretty bad. My Sony Vaio doesn't let my touchpad accept swiping gestures and I'd never heard of that happening before. Are there certain laptops this happens with?

An exercise in trading anecdotes isn't going to get anyone anywhere. The fact that the people you've surrounded yourself are relatively well off does not offset problems surrounding unemployment and falling wages.

>So I'm not seeing any problem here. I suppose if the target audience of this application is "st0p", then you'd be correct. The rest of us don't necessarily get the luxury of choosing what sort of sense of humor our employers have.

It's extremely, extremely difficult to spam on Facebook. Have you tried? Even as a person, without any machine intervention. Soon every action you take becomes blocked by CAPTCHAs. Emails are no longer displayed as text, but as images of te

For starters, they've cut back on proprietary trading considerably. Before we had quite a few prop traders who would invest the bank's funds in equities and I believe only five of them remain. So the bank as a whole is less willing to risk

Wait, do you guys pay to live there as part of Homes for Hackers? Or is it free for you, and you're renting out the last room at a $1500/month profit?

I signed up and this seems pretty cool. FYI: "Mediocre programmer?" is too long for its container and defaults to "Mediocre programm...". I'm not sure if it's my screen or fonts or something, but I thought you might like to know.
