"but everyone does it and it's something that's been an accepted way to monitize software development" No piece of software that I have installed during the past two years has done so, and I sure wouldn't accept it as a way of funding devel

I thought Cosmic Panda was supposed to be the future of the YouTube-interface? If not, what is it?

I bet there's someone here to tell that "it isn't that easy, you'll learn it the hard way", but this is something I intend to do as well. If I'm working with something, and I don't feel like I learn anything new or is simply unhappy, I'll q

Because you want the product but don't want to support evil corporations?

I may not have made it clear in my post, but I have never downloaded music illegally for two reasons: 1) Spotify entered the market about the same time as I started sharing files, and that was good enough for me 2) I mostly listen to music

There's an unwillingness to adapt within the music and film industry. Spotify (and for those who live in the US, Netflix and Hulu) is a great start, and last time I checked, they were dominating over piracy. The new technologies are competi

I think skymt got it right. Polls have shown that as Spotify has been growing on the Swedish market during the recent years, music-piracy has declined enormously. What they did right, was to provide a service that was easier to use than pir

I was strictly against piracy a few years ago. Nowadays it's a daily activity. What happened? I realized what the media companies were actually doing, how DRM hurts the people who actually pay for the product and all these enormous sums the

That's interesting. One of the main reasons I use* Spotify is because it has a native client and not a web interface. *I'm actually currently in a period when I listen to music which is likely to never show up at any professional music serv

I seem to remember reading that the speed is of your connection is tested, and the amount of data sent is customized not to slow your connection down.

Wasn't the US once known as "the land of the free"? When did they lose it?

Yeah, I do realize this. Perhaps I just need to reminded sometimes. Thanks.

Nope, HTML(5) is flexible. You could use <!dOcTyPe HtMl> if you feel like getting funky :-)

I do find it a bit ironic that the article is published on a site with the XHTML Transitional DOCTYPE. "It’s the Future, Get With It!" ;-)

Here's the deal: Create something better than he does, and people use your version. If he creates something better than you do, people use his version. All copying allowed. How about that?

Sweet story. A part fell of my earphones a few days ago, exposing the water-sensitive internals. I think I'll order a pack of Sugru and see if I can fix them myself :)

"It’s been a long journey for Hunch. The company was founded in 2008." Knowing how long it can take for a small company with a good idea and product to launch, I wouldn't really call that a long journey. Still, congratulations to them. I ho

I'm not directly affected by SOPA as I don't live in the US, but it certainly is a concern of mine that if it were to pass, it can be used to motivate such actions in other countries despite the recent negative statements on SOPA from the E

I'm not saying it isn't true, but how do we know it was the better choice?

I'm going to be "that" guy this time and tell you that the IMG-element is a single tag, and should be used without a "</img>" at the end :) Other than that, I'm liking this and looking forward to the extra parameters.

"From Norway, even Sweden now looks gritty and hardscrabble, like something out of a Stieg Larsson novel." Now, this is a case of national pride of course, but it really sounds like the author has heard just one side of a story here. My imp

There's something missing in this article. Why do Microsoft need all these IP-adresses? I'm sure someone here can give me a clever answer.

I see, thanks for explaining. I suppose, as a large computer manufacturer, actively/proudly refusing the Windows logo wouldn't please Microsoft either.

by Zirro 15y ago
While I do understand the security argument, surely the manufacturers of hardware wouldn't do this only to be allowed to use the Windows 8 logo? I have never heard of a person who cares if there's a Windows-logo on their laptop or not. In f

Until a feature-complete NoScript alternative exists for Google Chrome or Opera, it's hard for me to switch. I like the security it provides, which is much more than blocking JavaScript nowadays.
