A Turner Broadcasting exec called skipping commercials via PVR theft. http://slashdot.org/story/02/05/02/0550214/Turner-CEO-PVR-Us... So this thing could stop play if you leave the room, including during commercials. "You! Winston Smith!

"Fuck you." Oh, OK then.

Hmmm ... you could do the same thing with any device. Phones, tablets, computers. Make them dependent on the cloud for daily operation, then drop support later and force new sales.

Maybe there's a third way. On one end is their free and ad-supported access. The few ads that I see are very easy on the eyes, easy to ignore, and I don't feel compelled by the ads to buy a gold account. In return you get user generated c

Actually the image at that link shows the sun-earth L2. The article and mission is concerned with the earth-moon L2. Here's a nice diagram of all earth-moon lagranges: http://www.orbitalvector.com/Space%20Structures/Lagrange%20S... Here's

Or: you're gonna lose it anyway, so don't sink too much into it. The only things I'm willing to spend serious money on are shoes and teeth.

Understood, but I don't see the plug, or the in. They've just added "hn" as another term in the search string. Did I lose or miss something?

That may change, if the two parties continue to do nothing but spit at each other.

If a boat is loose and being pulled out by the tide, everyone on the beach pulls on the rope. One individual on the rope doesn't make a difference, but if no one pulls, the boat is lost. So we all pull.

Why is this called a plugin? As far as I can see it's just an additonal search term (hn). http://duckduckgo.com/?q=hn+startup+ideas Compare with DDG's existing bang code for HN: !hn + startup + ideas That searches hnsearch.com directly, a

Enough time for a purge or to gain an advantage in an invasion. This might even be on checklists for such actions.

It really doesn't matter which 3rd party you vote for, so vote for whichever one you abhor less or like more. The main thing is that you're entering a vote that isn't being counted in the Dem or Rep column. If you don't vote then it doesn't

For those who react to not voting for A, because B is worse in some way, there is an alternative: vote 3rd party. Any party, it doesn't matter. You're voting for a message, not a result.

"The company says it is reviewing how personal information came into the hands of a private firm." I thought that was pretty clear from the article - they asked.

Voting is important. (Taking that as a given, I'm not actually sure anymore.) For a one-off like this, unplanned, I think it's fine to risk a reduction in anonymity, compared to not being able to vote at all. They are where they are, and th

Management/owners have no motivation on their own to install this. They have already satisfied their insurance company by having a locked gate, any kind of locked gate. It's a plus that they can put in their consumer ads. And that's it. The

I'm an old people, and I didn't really know what it does. Links to those sites? Why would I go "here" to go "there?" And hovering to show the link destination is turned off (why?), so I didn't click on anything. Because I'm old, and paranoi

I got a survey from a company that Wells Fargo had hired, to see if my recent visit was satisfactory. It smelled legit, but my policy is to never respond to any email from my bank, I only communicate via my online account where I'm logged i

I'd never heard of this until this. It only confirms my casual (don't own anything Apple) view of Apple as a corporate two year old that makes great products (I've heard), all the while employing armies of lawyers to shout "No fair! No fair

Great idea, it's how the world should work, but I don't want the risk of attention by prosecutors, Comcast or the RIAA, and I don't want the extra due diligence necessary to definitively define those risks, and I don't want the surprise w

No, those qualities you list in your second paragraph are orthogonal to passion. They are also good qualities to have. They can exist with passion in the same person. They way you describe passion in your first paragraph approaches passion.

Yeah, context, especially how you got there. I've been wishing for that for years. Also what your other tabs were doing for any particular tab/bookmark. I leave a lot of tabs open too, all related to each other. There are usually two or thr

Another possibility, making water artificially expensive and so monetarily valuable creates incentive to corner the market on water, water contracts, water derivatives and other games, pricing the little guy out of the market for water. Mak
