I don't think I've seen a reset button in a while. Does anyone still use them?

You didn't communicate that very well then. Remember that no one can see your expression when you're typing on the internet :)

What is this about? I'm sure there are plenty of things that are collectible and that people pay money for. There are also probably plenty of people who own stuff they think is worth way more than it is. And what's with all the points? Sure

I'm sorry, but your blog post really and truly makes no sense whatsoever. You identify what you consider the "problems" with DRM (while omitting the actual problems) and your "solution" is just statement of the properties you'd like it to h

Isn't it very easy to rank for phrases that no one else wants to rank for? Sure you got some traffic, but it was probably almost entirely worthless traffic. Pick most any random phrase that no one else would ever want to rank for and you ca

HN is not the place for this. Yes, America prisons are horrible cruel places and should be a embarrassment to America as a whole and it's all terrible etc etc. However, this is Hacker News, and this story does not gratify anyone's intellect

Me too! SciPy has been my main reason for not switching for a lot of work I do. I'll see if I can switch soon now :) I just need Django to work and I'll be set to completely leave 2.x behind!

I like the idea of a virtual local guide, someone you can call while in a foreign country to help with language, directions, booking stuff. Just someone with reasonable local knowledge, both languages and the internet.

That's kind of an awesome idea, I'd love to get a groupon style email every day offering some great deal on some kind of travel/adventure type thing. You could make the terms kind of restrictive (it's got to be on this day, you only fly fro

Article could be summarized to one sentence "Put your git repo in your Dropbox". It does also go on to suggest that you share this folder with other Dropbox users but that's a bad idea. Even single users can end up with problems if they use

This article makes no sense whatsoever. Redis is an in memory database, that's what it does. Obviously what this guy wants is something entirely different. This is like complaining that your apples lack the needed orange colour and make don

These are scratch cards, so they already have a set payout for the number they produce. So unless the cards are getting returned to the lotteries and refunded (this might even happen in some cases, I'm not sure) they aren't losing any money

The allegation is that Bing is/was copying results for long-tail queries. The specific example being some very misspelled words. So in no way is the claim made that Google and Bing results are identical (even for most of those long tail res

If you enable the "show PR" thing on it, but that is (or at least was when I last used it) off by default. And Google specifically say they won't use the data for this sort of thing.

VWO is awesome, really quick and easy to set up tests. And the support is incredible. The few times I've emailed the support address I've had a reply from Paras in less than an hour, I'm beginning to wonder if he ever sleeps :) The only com

Not for a key, no. But it's a great design when what you want is low cost ID tags which don't require their own power source and which essentially work like barcodes that you can scan without line of sight.

RFID tags are not smart cards, they basically just have a small amount of data on them which can be read off. So yes, having a bit for bit copy is exactly the same as having the original tag.

I'd say that anyone who needs a tutorial to tell them how to do this in PHP probably doesn't have the skills to fix the security hole. You're setting people up to fail, which isn't very nice (although I'm sure you didn't intend it that way)

What info do you get from Facebook? It's not that I don't trust you, I already trust you guys with all my files, but I'm interested. I also don't get why I'd want to post to Facebook from within Dropbox, got any cool use cases I'm missing?
