Worth looking if you like a close minded secretive attitude and living in the past. Profit from a technically bad & boring forum, report bugs in a home grown issue tracker which sucks and get example code through subversion. The syntax

i think - from reading descriptions/opinions - that the more recent 'seafile' could be even better.

Can someone comment on seafile please?

Don't know why you wrote this (two times). Probably too oldfashioned I am, but at least you seem to be ok ( http://portfotolio.net/t0t0_ ). Bonne soirée!

Why should Quixby be allowed to scalp the content for FREE?

by chappi42 14y ago
I can't give a real argument. It would be more out of respect to the content which originates from other people and quite often deals in topic which are open/free. But 1.49 is not much and if it helps the dev...

US $ 1.49 to access Hacker News content through an app?! This should be open source and free.

The argument is not 'cutting off ad-supported free users' but 'sugarcoating'. Blabling 'but time has shown that in practice, the experience isn't quite right for either group' when a statement about ~ we are sorry to remove the free ad supp

I don't understand this unthankfulness, didn't Nokia relax the license to LGPL and employ, i.e. pay quite some people during their 4 years? Also now it looks as if they act responsibly, no hire fire mentality at all.

Certainly they prefer to be friendly accommodated guests in a Parisian McDonalds... (not that I find it a good idea to eat in McDonalds at all, especially when having the option of French cuisine..;)

It happened at few times too me that I experienced quite a 'macho' or aggressive behaviour 'from people of those cultures'. What would you expect, just be quiet?

(a bit late with replying, sorry..) The field is already well occupied by Samsung/HTC/Motorola. I suppose Android users care more about 'high-specs' than well done devices with more modest specs. Google would not have given specific help/su

By the _few_ people who used it... No chance at all that Maemo could have become the mainstream platform/ecosystem needed for Nokia to prosper. Uh and IIRC a lot of engineering talent was wasted with gtk/qt/meego changes. The Maemo UI (imho

Don't think the strategy to also-use Android as a latecomer and go against Samsung et al. without subsidies would have worked well.... The 'trojan horse guy' seems to me more like a friendly enabler for the only/most successful looking stra

Read the parent post again, no problem with Bulgarian people in general. What's with your xenophobia/racism haunch? It is not unreasonable to discuss such effects due to relative open - e.g. compared to US - borders. Last year in Germany I

Bad argument imho. There are e.g. vim books or peepcode casts. Why shouldn't there be a game where you have to pay? Only it should be mentioned clearly.

It's ethically not correct if you profit (freeride) from a service which is payed for by black/pirate money. If 'normal' people are thus ignorant to not notice this, I really don't care if they loose their files.

I see airbnb as a match-maker and consider it quite naive to entrust a 'facebook-friend-like' stranger my appartment without proper checking who this person is. Typical America were drinking hot coffee leads to lawsuits. (Which doesn't mean
