What you just described is pretty much Silverlight. It can do out of browser stuff.

Not desirable either. Not sure they are desirable now either.

This is the most sensible thing I've heard for years.

I live in London and coverage here is pretty bad at times. My phone barely manages GPRS at times. There are plenty of us CD buyers left :). We're just not as noisy.

Well in the UK, thanks to some new regulations (RDR), they have to justify every charge and itemise. The number of IFA's is now dropping rapidly. They're moving into real estate and selling cars where they can continue to rip peop

Bit hard when they are recorded deliveries. Telling banks and other financial institutions to fuck off was just an operating cost for the company in question. It was in the budget. That's how I learned how the finance system worked in

UK banks are just as bad. A company I worked for previously gave a bank's investment products a high risk rating because of poor investments/compliance and they sent all sorts of nasty shit out. Every bank has a "send people

Sometimes 1) doesn't scale well. The amount of work just to get Ubuntu into a usable shape is increasing per release. I can't tell you the number of hours I've pissed out of the window on it over the last few years. It's

Seriously people need to stop working around crap and just vote with their feet. I just switched to Fedora 19 on the desktop and it's far better. It's lightning fast and everything just works out of the box; wifi, hibernate, SMB&#

Yes because you really need 600GB of mp3s which on the back of an envelope calculation is over 1000 days of listening for 8 hours a day at a reasonable bitrate with no repeats... I'm sure, at amazon prices which is a fair approximation

Fuck all. Different figureheades and parties serving the same idea.

Interestingly, I've actually been put forward as an interviewee for two of the companies on the front of the linked page (Gamma + Cobham) by your usual nefarious job agents trying to get anyone in anywhere for a chunk of commission. My

I disagree. Sure string instruments give you more control but at the end of the day, it's only timbre, harmonics and timing (plus the mysterious immeasurable Q factor which I dub musicality). If this gives you the ability to generate m

Would love some samples from this so I can stick them in my Korg Triton.

How is it not? Plug shit into PC, two way sync. WinPhone and iOS do this fine.

Every music player is proprietary somewhere be it codec, physical IC, transistor technology, speakers, headphones. Software is a teeny little bit of the whole thing.

One dollar is too much for something that was a solved problem (media sync).

Agree. I'm doing the same with everything related to "the cloud". The current international political climate doesn't support this model. Also with music, I point blank refuse to let music turn into a subscription based

It's slanderous to call them prostitutes unless they are caught fucking someone. I shit you not.

That's fine and all that but it takes time for the new inevitable forks to stabilise and some people will never switch.

Good good. The more that can be done to discredit him, even if it is like this, the better.

Probably because the codebase stinks and releasing it would end up in multiple vulnerability discoveries.

Good for you. I threw my win phone out of my car in anger the other day and broke it. I will not be buying another. I've already decided not to renew my MAPS and MSDN subs again in December thanks to the epic crack smoking going on.

I wrote it up the other day conveniently. Here you go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6750630 Basically, mutt, postfix, procmail.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Perl can be written ugly enough without introducing car and cdr to it!

That's just the variety of CL that I used.

Yeah which is where SBCL and me got into to a bad argument :)

Yes but macros like caaaaaar and caaadr aren't :) I'd rather salt my eyeballs.

We try to make sure it is by enforcing password expiry, no password reuse and complex passwords. We also have a massive shitlist of passwords from various leaks.

Yes but every structure that a cons represents can be expressed in terms of first and rest. That includes tables, singly linked lists, doubly linked lists, binary trees from experience. Car and Cdr are arbitrary and legacy terms.
