That's what I did. I actually had to do it in incognito mode because (presumably) they use cookies to try to prevent that. Someone ought to write an extension...

As a highschooler, I am a huge fan of Quizlet. I use it almost every week. The thing is that I'm trying to encourage people to share and submit the software they've built to address their own needs, rather than simply build a list of cool

I wouldn't go so far as wishing them a speedy demise -- if building something like that makes you happy, who am I to hope that it comes to an end. I do think that those projects will naturally and healthily die out, or perhaps evolve into o

I think the "Classic mode" is really the biggest, most game-changing thing here. There are a whole lot of people who hate GNOME Shell (I am not one of them. I'm not a fan either, but I don't think the shell is a step backwards) and are eith

What I really want to know is why he's planning on majoring in philosophy . Why not computer science? Also, did he write this app himself? Watching the video/ad he made with Stephen Fry, it seems like it was one hell of a lot of work... I

Although I have never lived in San Francisco, I am a Philadelphian and think I can say with confidence that Philly is just as rough or (likely, I think) more challenging of an urban environment to deploy something like this. Philly can be a

You're entitled to your opinions, but care to explain why? (I have no affiliation with the project in question, btw).

You do realize this was debunked as inaccurate FUD mongering, right?

What I want to know is why the icon for regular expressions is the Fedex (or in this case, Regex) logo.

Yeah I signed on at about 900k in front of me in the queue... now that company has been acquired and I've STILL got 180k people in front of me. Good lord.

In school my friends and I used to have little "hacking" competitions -- who could do the most damage to the other's computer using only an SSH session. An old favorite of mine was the elegant: `yes > no` [1] [1] I'm fairly certain I ma

As someone who has been an active contributor to desktop Linux in the past, and particularly very close to Ubuntu (I was sponsored to attend UDS-O), I have to say that I am happy Shuttleworth is finally taking this much needed stand. I can

Yes, I suspect the last line of your comment is at the heart of this issue and the doublespeak surrounding it coming from EA. SimCity is, to be sure, a great game. The problem seems to be that the people who control the strings (which, from

While I don't disagree with the principle of this logic, can it be backed up some how with past examples? Were "the smartest people" really hacking on serious phone apps before iPhone and Android came out? (as an example)

Perhaps it is because I am in a dark room reading in bed with a MacBook Air set at 50% brightness, but I actually really liked the experience of reading that. Though I can absolutely understand where someone might not.

This is truly some next-level stuff. Very compelling price, and it seems like a very well thought out revamp of an existing paradigm. Obvious concerns: - security - confidentiality - how easy is this to set up? to cancel? - how ti

I would definitely not want to use this for my desktop (or my laptop really), but this seems like it would be a great way to make mobile sites feel a little bit more mobile-y. Kudos on the clever idea and well designed website.

..did you run the demo? It actually generates those in WebGL not as still frames but as real, dynamic scenes which are panned through. In fact, I was utterly blown away by how smooth (absolutely lag free and very fluid) yet detailed this de

Are you familiar with CoffeeScript? I've been developing in it for more than 6 months now and that code is perfectly readable to me. Granted, I wouldn't say it's very good code -- I would probably split that into two lines just so it look
