I don't think it is so violent that it should be rejected. But since it has been rejected, do you need to have that comic bundled with the app? It looks like you are marketing your app as a comic reader, not a service that provides comics,

Yeah, and I did find one small error. At around 2:20 he starts hitting himself in the head while at home, and then it switches over to the hidden camera. At 2:23 you can hear him hit himself once more when the boss starts to speak. So unles

No I hadn't. Thanks for mentioning it. The site looks pretty good.

I do agree that this is a great story, but I think the homeless could be helped out a lot more. Around 40 to 50 percent have a serious mental illness. And many are not being treated. Also some of the mentally ill have anosognosia, and so d

What I had really hoped was that Bing had a good search engine for shopping for computer hardware. There really isn't anything great out. Froogle's ok, but sometimes gets bad results. So that $30 hd turns out to be a $30 cord. And it's kind

Thanks for the recap. I'm not close by any HN meetups right now, so these kind of recaps will definitely interest me.

I don't know how much of a threat this is. I personally don't like the wiimote a lot, so there is definitely room for improvement. But the wiimote comes with every wii, and can be used on every game. So the problem Microsoft has is that the

I just found out that the USO has airport lounges in many major airports. I haven't had a chance to use one yet, but you can't really complain about free internet and snacks. So if you have military connections and have a military id with y

Technically it is zero sum, but bittorrent prioritizes peering based on how fast your internet connection is. So somebody on dial-up internet probably isn't going to upload to anyone, while someone who has high speed internet is going to up

I wouldn't be surprised if they filed anyway. Scientology does have a reputation for filing frivolous lawsuits. Hubbard did say that lawsuits were great for harassment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_the_legal_syste...

by chris11 17y ago
Technically yes, but Scientology is very paranoid. For one, it has been accused of censoring internet access for its members, so they might not trust low-level staff to edit it. Censorship: http://www.xenu.net/archive/events/censorship/inde

I think that this is probably a good thing, for the reason that the ban is basically unenforceable. Gambling sites can be legally operated from other countries, and I doubt that law enforcement officers can easily catch gamblers. In fact th

I see your point that this can just be used to be making up for bad management. But this method will get more information than one person normally knows. A boss might not know that the employee has recently requested a transfer that has bee

Yeah I was thinking about blackjack. So what did you end up with for a profit margin with you strategy? Looking at articles it seemed like your advantage while counting cards is razor thin. And computing an optimal playing strategy just req

On a semi-related note, does anyone here count cards? I'm slightly interested in teaching myself sometime.

You can eat healthy on a whole lot less. My family is pretty health conscious (we are all vegetarians, and my mom is pretty much vegan). And I am sure we have never spent 500 a month for a family of three. Not everything needs to be organic

Brain implants have already been in use for a decade. Brain pacemakers have been successfully used to treat epilepsy, Parkinson's, and depression. So while the implants seem relatively simplistic, they do exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Exactly. And besides, I'm really not sure that I want to be an early adopter. The thought that any bugs or problems would be directly affecting my brain kind of freaks me out. I definitely like the idea of reshaping my brain, but I'm pretty

I'd say that I like the nytimes. Comparing it to other newspapers the articles seem a lot better written and more informative (possibly with the exception of the multi-page spreads that local papers sometimes produce). At the minimum it se

Yeah, I don't really have a problem with the editing standards on Wikipedia. The article mentions that the changes where almost immediately reversed several times. Right now encyclopedia companies seem to be operating on accuracy through ob

Yes, I am. I'm salivating over the idea of replacing all of my textbooks with pdfs. But unfortunately I doubt I could get all of my textbooks on the kindle right now. And price is an issue. Checking on Amazon, there is not a large price dif

I completely agree with you. That is kind of why it always annoys me when somebody intentionally puts an error into Wikipedia. The message that usually comes out in the media is that Wikipedia isn't that should be used for finding primary s

I wonder if part of the problem with spore is that it tried to do too many things at once. I've gotten the impression that while it is a fun game, none of the stages have a lot of depth. It seemed like Sid wanted to focus on the experience

I think that would be relatively easy to estimate from Amazon's rating since they break down the votes. It's a safe assumption that 1 or 2 star votes would be equivalent to a down vote, and 4 or 5 star votes would garner an up vote.

You are kind of comparing apples and oranges here. I don't think Alpha would be really hurt if the majority of people found it useless. All Wolfram has to do is to allow developers access to the API. I'm just not totally sure how he will al

I really like his suggestion on differentiating praise and criticism. I have already been depersonalizing criticism though. I basically started to believe that I am much more than the sum of my problems or difficulties. But while criticism

I'd argue that it matters whether the replacement is gradual or immediate. There is really no difference for other people if the copy is perfect, but there is a huge difference for me. Let's say I am able to make a perfect digital copy of m
