Just checking.. +1 for you Because it seems a lot of crap coming here these days, nobody double checks actually.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions. Has anyone else actually confirmed this? His pop-up might have been from elsewhere..

I was personally going to donate to this project, but unfortunately, there seems to be little evidence that these guys actually are competent coders (not even code samples from their uni). So I fear that people are paying money simply becau

The fact that you need to install either Cygwin or a 100MB collection of Msys files put us off it for our project. We stuck to Mercurial because we thought it would be easier for newbies to get involved, and it seems to be working. Also, un

If I wrote "Flash no longer available, thanks to a change by Apple", I'm pretty sure you'd probably change your mind. And if I wrote "Linux no longer supports our program due to a change in kernel design. We are asking why it was done. Oh,

I'd say that the title is intended to strongly imply that Google are evil. Also, the vibe the article is trying to create is that if Google don't re-add the api, they are probably doing it to block competition (why else would they start wit

Saw this the other week (I think its been posted to hacker news before). It's actually surprisingly easy to understand, even for private barely-trained pilot's.

How would you like an already painfully slow service to be even slower? The rumor that this is based on has no credibility. And even if it were free, I'd still avoid it like the plague, because there are better offering's out there, most of

So in other words, Google are the bad guys for depreciating/axing a feature which they no longer use, and which was probably never intended to be used in the way which Scroogle are using it? That's right, it's all about Scroogle. I apprecia

I totally agree. The internet has had this discussion millions of time in the past, and this post does nothing but turn 1 or 2 obvious points into a giant essay. The fact's are.. They wont. Remember, it's the small additions to sales that m

I have to agree, it's absolutely ridiculous. Using cardiac patterns for login are also prone to "denial of service attacks". Because if I scare someone, suddenly they will be unable to access their phone. Regardless, just reading through th

I totally agree. Let's face it, we all hate facebook, but there are no good alternatives yet. Orkut and networks like friendstar are hopeless still, and whilst I'd love to remove myself from facebook, the reality is that most invitations pe

But we both know it wont in the real world. We also know that Adobe will probably change the Flash output slightly in the future, and Gnash will always be a step behind. It doesn't change the fact that you would be wasting development resou

by UnknownSource 16y ago
I don't think Gnash fixes anything. The reason why flash is so prominent is that there is no good flash-creator-like program out there that outputs files as HTML5/SVG/AJAX/Javascript. People use Flash because it is the only good way to crea

ZeroGravitas. Apple also banged on in 2004 about how awesome PowerPC was compared to Intel. Remind me what happened 2 years later? Yes, companies do slag others off.. The smartphone market was held up for many other reasons too. It mostly c

They have productivity benefits for some things true, but they don't expose or constrain operations very well (ie, I have seen "professionals" do stuff like "rm -rf ~/ folder" before accidentally) . CLI's are generally only good at adminis

This would work, if it didn't make things more difficult for less common tasks (many Linux distro's suffer this same problem, everything is great and productive when you are performing mainstream computing. However, cross the boundary sligh

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that ARM is competing against the faster atom processors, which can run windows and a lot more applications? I would have thought that consumers would see an Atom netbook, compare it to
