Well yes, but only insofar as it's a script created for the video that only plays that one song!

We hope to be on the Google Play Magazine store, that means DRM. We hope to publish as an app where we can go without DRM (personally, I'd like that app to be available for Cyanogenmod as well). However, this may be a little further do

Phoronix is first and foremost a hardware and benchmarking site. Probably the best Linux hardware and bechmarking site. We're not going to compete with them on that. We're going to covering a wider area. We'll feature some st

Just to be clear -- any code from the mag will be released under an open source licence. There's no question about that. This thread's about releasing the actual articles themselves (which we plan on doing after nine months -- mor

We're offering digital subscriptions as well, so take which ever one you like :). However, Linux Format (or the Previous Magazine as it's called elsewhere on the thread) actually increased its print circulation last year. Print&#x

We certainly hope to, although our initial work has been looking at PDF, and digital news stand editions.

You're right, and this is exactly what we want to do but (why is there always a but?) this is highly unusual clause and while we're confident most of our contributors will accept it, we may have to waive it for some (though we rea

Thanks for the info. This is something we're keen to do.

Basically, as little as possible. We'd much rather run more editorial content. However, we can't ignore a potential revenue stream. We hope to make it viable at around five pages of ads. We'll also do everything we can to mak

DRM free -- absolutely where possible (i.e. we can't on google play, etc, but yes where we can i.e. digital subs from our own site). DRM is horrible and we want as little part in it as possible. For your other questions, I'm just

Well our paper quality will be awesome :). We'll have a different focus than either of those sites. While we will have a news section, it won't dominate the mag (around 10% or so). The majority will be features (such as interviews

So would we! There is a slight issue that in general, freelancers retain copyright over their own work, so we as a magazine can publish it, but we can't release it under a free licence. Where freelancers are happy with this (and we hop

It's not closing. We felt that the company (Future Publishing) was pushing us into a position where we couldn't make a quality magazine any more. We've launched this because we think it can not only be a quality mag, but also

About four years ago I lived in Tanzania. I had a sim card from Zain(* ). As standard, it had no roaming charges in East Africa and parts of the middle east. In foreign countries, you could even make calls at the local rate. It's great

It's even easier. You can alias sudo and grab the password that way.

Not at the moment. ownCloud does my file backup and sync between devices, calendar, cloud music player and to-do list manager. I'm considering setting up my own e-mail system, but haven't gotten around to it yet. EDIT: Actually, I

I get your point, but I think that it's not quite right. If you get a computer with Win 8 pre-installed, it won't boot if you turn off Secure Boot. However, I don't have a Win 8 machine on hand to confirm this. Of course, if you have the in

People aren't up-voting it because they support the action, but because it's relevant. After all, many HN readers are either sendgrid customers, or users of services that are. Whatever the rights and wrong of the situation are, it's an impo

I'd be interested in what you security guys think of ZAP, the OWASP/Mozilla attack proxy. It's probably not up to the level of Burp yet, but I've found it works pretty well at least for basic stuff. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Ze

Are you saying this is decoy spam sent purely to try and confuse my anti-spam system? It's an interesting idea.
