Yes, but what about if I want to insert a few figures? I don't want to have them all bunched up one side of the page or to have a tiny bit of a paragraph show up before one or etc etc. I just want to say "put this figure here and this one h

What we need is some sort of voluntary rating system for ads. Tag the massively annoying (sounds, movement etc) or horribly disgusting (rotting teeth etc) ones as such and I'll happily use adblock software that only blocks those. It could k

"48.9 per cent claimed not to believe in any god, with 49.6 per cent claiming no religious affiliation[....]an astonishing 57.3 per cent of the Oxford sample did [consider themselves as "athiest" or "agnostic"]." How does that make sense? D

So you can refuse to go do it if you are randomly selected and you just forfeit your flight. How exactly does that add any protection against anything? Potential hijackers can't just buy another plain ticket?

I'm not sure that's it. I've down voted some of your comments because they just seem to ooze insensibility and really have you coming across like an almighty bell-end. I don't know you apart from a few comments of yours I've seen here on HN

Very confusing, needs something telling me what to do! Us technical types can probably work it out but what about non-technical people? Not a chance I'd say. Also, the "You should upgrade here" bubble just takes me to PayPal to give you $2.

In some countries there isn't a legal concept of public domain. I don't know much more than that but I think Germany may be one of them.

The RepRap (and indeed the whole concept of 3D printers) is awesome and exciting and I think has the potential to make a huge difference to the world. However, they really need to stop describing it as "self-replicating". It's only self rep

But probably still capped at 2GB/day before 8pm. If you go over that amount before 8 they throttle down to something very slow for 5 hours (even if you just went over at 7:59 PM, how does that make sense?)

I think the idea is that they still store details but it makes it much easier to pick them up afterwards. With a traditional skimmer you maybe have to remove it to get at the juicy stolen details which is a whole load of extra risk vs. just

Ok, I'm an idiot :) I didn't see the sarcasm in your comment at all... However, I do now want a converted gas pump soda pump!

Yes, the DMCA does suck quite a huge amount. But is the DMCA the main thing stopping you from disassembling and reassembling gas pumps before you use them? I'm guessing probably not.

Why? The extra 3 letters of "cat" are usually going to take less time to type the mental overhead of "where do I put the input file for this command" or the additional pipeline reasoning. I actually sometimes do it one way and sometimes the

Great post, thank you. I have a similar problem to you with a constant urge to check my sales page, web stats (clicky AND ga) and adWord campaign stats. I'm really trying to get it all into one place so I can just glance at it and see. It's

Oh good. I do like books on cryptography. Not because I do much cryptography, I don't, but because I like the way it forces me to think.

+1 for Django admin! The amount of effort it alone saves would make Django worth while (for me) even if the rest was no better than PHP (luckily that's not the case though).

Yes, I know that. I just think it's odd that the poster was hoping that the iPad would be something that already has existed for a while (a standard laptop without a keyboard).
