I've told people to leave the US before on HN, and got downvoted, so I won't. America's #1 problem is that solutions that work are often fairly labelled socialist, because they are, and thus they immediately lose all popular support, becaus

for mockability, this is the web design equivalent of Icy Hot Stuntaz BTW, can't they just leave the legacy behaviour in quirks mode only or does slimness and catching Chrome trump functionality?

Thoughts: 1. (I'm not saying the censorship isn't a story) If you think NBC doesn't deserve the rights to broadcast the games, you should tell the IOC to use somebody else next time. 2. Apple buys a chunk of Twitter. Will my twitter be susp

Someone will bring back an aftermarket progman.exe (application icons in a window on the desktop, kids) and find a way to block all the Metro triggers from the registry.

Populating a new world needs many women, not so many men. (If you want to populate somewhere, I'm your man.) I'm not going unless there is a ratio enforced. Which would pretty much that mean very little competition in terms of seduction. Th

.onion is a pseudo-top-level domain host suffix (similar in concept to such endings as .bitnet and .uucp used in earlier times) designating an anonymous hidden service reachable via the Tor network. Such addresses are not actual DNS names,

rather than post lists of ip addresses somwhere (which, btw, won't work on virtual servers that have multiple sites on one ip) we need something the rest of the world can link to if we expect Americans to use the links on our site, so we ca

As a European, just let me say, oh great, now I have to run a Tor relay/bridge for the entire United States, and I'm not sure my basic adsl or my poor little mac mini can cope with that... " ...and routes around it! "

I am no great fan of facebook. The timeline sucks. I think the warnings fb use are necessary, there's so many worms and spam wall postings. You can debate the wording and motive. Many users need paternalism. You can AUTOMATICALLY have poste

He's ignoring the main reason why Britain and America are so pro-work and anti-rest, and why Italy and Spain aren't. (It's also the reason why the med is comfortable with nudity and the Anglosphere isn't) Protestant ascetic work ethic: no p

your point is valid, but there are worse mistakes in the article. It must be possible to write for a non-technical audience without stating untruths that irritate technical readers. "a shorthand of words, numbers and punctuation" is a terri

you're probably right and I didn't know that. But all of what I said probably applies to ie7 or even 8.

Briefly: facebook timeline is terrible. Even Chrome can hardly cope with all the javascript and reflowing as you load a profile page. There's no way in hell IE6 on XP will be able to cope with it -- the rendering engine, OR EVEN the cpu. Ma

It's too complex for most, yes. But just use only facebook in say, Chrome, and every other site in say, Firefox. All the sites you use in firefox won't link through to your facebook account via cookies, bugs/buttons or js. Firefox should/wi

I supported (absolutely past tense) capitalism on the basis that the right people would end up with the money. Maybe they will. Waiting another 30 years isn't on. Things shouldn't go to people "according to his need". But now things are goi

Taxing the money that moves - as it is earned - will only produce so much revenue. The rich need to be taxed, not beccause it will allow lots of lovely spending, because the gov will inevitably do a bad job of spending it. Though you could
