There's too many comma's in that process (or: too many steps) for me to consider it to be a serious problem. // edit: for whoever downvoted me: The more steps it takes to reproduce an issue, the less likely someone is to complete all the st

I'm on Verizon with a data plan (have a Pre). I honestly can't remember the last time I needed to use voice and data at the same time. I don't think this is as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.

Its the same way for me. I have to consciously decide to eat something good. Otherwise, I'll fill up on small things that don't give me much energy. I try to have an apple or a few handfuls of grapes a day. They're small and only take a few

The eigth amendment doesn't go as far as to define "cruel and unusual punishment" is. The nineth amendment doesn't define what rights should or shouldn't be protected. Yes, there are some basic rights that are protected. But largely, the Co

Personally? I think its because the US Constitution wasn't written to solve every problem of the day. It was written as a framework, to let lawmakers solve problems as they came up. And the framework is malleable enough so that it can be ch

I never said it was a good idea[1]. Just that it was possible . But, yes. Long live MacRuby. I can't wait until the day I can use it for iOS applications. 1. From my previous post: If you guessed that its a giant hack either way, you'd

As-is, Instapaper isn't a bookmarking service, though. Its a reading service. It strips away the unnecessary crap and formats text nicely, so you can focus on reading.

How do you think the parts of the computer work and are developed? Especially processors. There's a lot of chemical and material sciences behind the scenes. I suppose this is also why "Computer Engineering" as a discipline is somewhat growi

Google might make money from advertising, yes. But, as far as the average person is concerned, Google means search. Whether Google likes it or not, their name is synonymous with search. When someone says "Just Google it", they don't mean to

Out of curiosity, what would you have done if someone had said "Yes, you are making too much money."

I get that too. I ask what the idea is, and then find some innocent-sounding reason to point out why I wouldn't be a good person to make it, rather than saying I'm not interested or I don't have the time. If the app exists, I'll tell them a

Depends who I'm talking to. If its someone at college (say, at a party), I say that I play with my iPhone all day. If they ask for clarification, that I make iPhone applications. Usually at this point, whoever I'm talking to will say someth

If I had to do a cross-platform app, I would make a shared core in a language that can run on all platforms[1] and than a native UI in whatever language/toolkit is used for the platform. This way, the only duplication that is needed is the

It's other peoples job to decide if they're interested in you or not. Not yours. That goes for all situations, really. Not just this one. Do companies near you have job openings* ? Send them an email asking if they'll consider an intern fil

by Zev 16y ago
For an internship, you really want to be on-site. The point of an internship isn't to make less money for the same amount of work while you don't have lines on your resume. Well, maybe it is for you. But, thats not what it should be imho.

How people actually cheat is beyond me; I've never had the inclination to do so. I do expect the papers to be read by a real person. And in the case you described, that should be enough for the professor to call the student in and talk to t

Like I said: Not a lawyer. First, TurnItIn required students to enter into a "binding agreement" when they uploaded papers to the site. Being forced to agree to the terms doesn't make them okay. It just means that I didn't want to fail an

They're assuming that someone will be cheating. They're not ruling anyone out. To me, they're implying to everyone (not just me) you may be cheating.

Keeping an exact and full copy of my work without any modifications pretty much rules out the possibility of a parody. And TurnItIn isn't doing any sort of creative work with it (musical or otherwise). Unless you're saying my work is a pa

No one is accusing you of cheating. Do you refuse to let professors grade your papers, because if they do they're implying that you have gotten every question wrong? Well, the head of the department all but accused me of cheating because

As to what the service does, please see my response to kenjackson for a bit more on this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1741731 I dislike the accusation and assumption that I'm going to cheat. I resent the fact that by voicing an op

Just to get this out of the way: I would rather fail a class than cheat. We don't know each other, so you might not believe me. But, thats my personal belief. This dislike isn't arbitrary. My problem is that I wrote the paper. I don't want

My college has used TurnItIn for (at least) a few years now. At least, some departments do. I've only had to take one class that used it, Introduction to Psychology. I went and spoke to the professor about this, asking if I could email her
