I logged out of Hacker News for a month recently, and also part of the time out of Twitter and Facebook. I was still allowed to read HN, just not to comment, as the latter tends to waste the most time. What I have come to feel is that my us

Could this be the first online movie rental service that runs on Linux? That would be very exciting news.

In the article it says "they played a VIOLENT video game" (emphasis mine), yet the title only says "video games". For all we know, there might be sleep inducing video games. Apart from that I wonder how much of it is just "sitting in front

Is that really a different tech or just creating a field with more power? I suspect wireless charging consumes power even if nothing gets charged, so selling it as environment friendly is stretching it a bit.

The difference is that an icon library can probably only be completed by the initial designer, because all the icons should match in style.

In any case, hiding BitCoin should be much easier than hiding gold.

The way you write already suggests intelligence. In what ways did you try to prepare for that networking class? It sounds as if they didn't provide anything for you to cling to if you weren't already familiar with the territory?

Do people still trust their governments? Because I sure as hell don't - and I live in Germany, probably one of the more democratic countries out there.

I must admit, while nice, I never understand the upvotes for such icon collections? I'd expect that if you started using them, you'd inevitably quickly find that you miss some crucial icons, which you would then commission from the original

Curious: what methods are you using for your analysis? Feeding data in some software, or just pen+paper+brain?

I frankly don't understand how you can build software without understanding what you do. Then again, can you FizzBuzz? :-)

So many companies just do cargo culting when they imitate Apple without understanding :-(

Where I live you can get punished for stuff people do with your open Wifi network. I think the authorities know exactly what they doing: they don't want people to anonymously surf the internet, so the prevent it by making it impossible to r

Most websites include a host of javascript from other sites, like Google Analytics, Like-Buttons, Ads, and so on. If they all can get to the password it seems like an issue to me. Personally I am surprised by this. Afaik you can not copy+pa

Isn't the glass back fluff anyway, because there is still plastic underneath? I hate superfluous ornaments on utility devices...

The Micro-USB connector is not square. With normal USB, true, it can be annoying to find the right orientation, but they still seem to be zillions of times more sturdy than the cables before them. Remember PS2 with those tiny pins inside?

I'm not much of an admin, but is it so much easier to transfer a virtual image to another server than to transfer an installation from one server to another? Presumably as long as the server your VM sits on has more memory than your VM, you

I've heard good things about Linode, but ultimately, why not get a dedicated server for just a little more money? I pay 30€/month for mine with Hetzner, yesterday there was another host with prices starting from 10€? So what is the appeal o

He recommends an iPod Touch for 300$ - hasn't heard about the Nexus 4 yet? Is mobile internet really 100$/month in the US? I pay 10€ a month for 1GB, and there are cheaper plans available, too.

It's not a given that staying together is best for the children. If there is constant fighting, separation might be better for all of them.

Doesn't a person have the right to demand solitude either way? He presented his conditions for getting on with the marriage. The alternative is to simply get a divorce. If what he needs is solitude, what is he supposed to do? I mean I don't

3 meals a day might benefit the children, too. Not fighting in front of them is probably also a good idea. What does he propose that is bad for children?

What would such an app provide, compared to a normal ebook? I guess the point is simply to be able to get paid via the app store? If so, it seems the wrong solution to me, the app store should change instead of people having to create clunk

It must have been really hard to clean up the room and prepare three meals a day. I wonder how the women of the time did manage at all? Clearly the asian child laborers should let themselves be inspired by their example. I don't really unde

What a horrible way to argue. So the thought "the evidence might not be sufficient" never comes to your mind? Uncritical thinking like this ("knee jerk reactions") are one of the banes of humanity.
