But why? All that does is handicap the people who don't speak more than 2 dialects, even though they may be more productive in terms of work than the people who speak 22 dialects. At age 21, I have already immigrated twice to countries

But the reward is so great that we can't dismiss the possibility of finding the special wings that are appropriate for that priceless plane. Think about it: we dont' just get very cheap labor working 24/7 without moral issues

Plus Arc is just one syllable and sounds good. That makes it really tempting.

To take it further, I suppose they want to protect US citizens, companies and government from crypto attacks while using US laws to snoop on them easily. That way, they prevent foreign threats by making it very hard for everyone to break an

I was saying that with enough pressure, they wouldn't just allow redistribution or even publish the source code, they would even release it under the GPL and kiss the buyers' feet if asked to.

Any plans to release the source code?

HN for Android is FOSS and it's awesome. As for iOS, it doesn't matter whether you get the source code because you have no way to make sure that what you see is what you get (from the App store).

You should have read the submission. They say that the price is now fixed until the end of the campaign and anyone who paid more than $695 will get a refund of the difference. So, if anything, this alleviates any uncertainties about the pri

You can't blame capitalism for that. In a free market, consumers can just stop buying Qualcomm products for a month, and I can guarantee you that a choking Qualcomm would release all they have as FOSS as fast as they could. But most of

And normal people and smaller companies need their addresses even more.

Awesome, that will push IPv6 adoption. And big companies that need this sort of routing for millions of addresses can surely afford paying for these addresses anyway.

Weird, the French part looks like the output of a translator. There are a few faults of vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. Your translation is correct though.

The IDF's ICT unit also has a very large budget (it's actually the only unit with an increasing budget despite a 2 billion overall budget drop), and with access to all kinds of technologies that only a government can afford. When

I dislike Nathan Myhrvold as a whole, and that's what I think that guy meant too: with the information we have, we can only hate Myhrvold. And I, for one, do not excuse Bill Gates for all the bad he's done to the world of software

Exactly. The NSA can't use their funds however they feel like. They have to account to several governmental entities for their (secret) precise funding, and I doubt they would lie about it and take their resources from their useful tas

Me too! I'll soon be buying a small home server and I am still wondering how to begin building my setup, since I've never used anything else than FTP hosting.

Google had been around for over 10 years when it started doing bad things with its services too.

Thanks. I'll spare you from the obligatory rant on how obvious most of these patents are.

>If that problem arises, we can deal with it. This problem has arised in nearly all the sites that I know that have ever tolerated it. Eventually, someone learns that it's allowed and exploits that. Actually, you're that person

It's not a PR coup, they want to discourage possible whistleblowers by telling them: "if you reveal big stuff about us, we'll hunt you anywhere you go and eventually we'll find you and you'll pay".

You know what's more important to me than to do whatever I wish to with your code? Doing whatever I wish to do the code of every single person using your code. Of course, the chain can't end with me and I'll have to publish m

That's still extremely vague. Much more than Google's.

So none of you guys cares about openness, uh? Too bad, if more people, we wouldn't have the problem of closed platforms to begin with.

It doesn't matter. Google can read your emails on the other end of the pipe, and the NSA can fetch the plaintext from them.

Have you even seen the slides leaked by Snowden? They tracking everyone. Of course no one has a problem about using FISA requests. The very problem that started this is that they disregard the constitution and track people regardless of the

Surely we can trust this guy. He knows so much more than us, he must be working at Microsoft or something!

You are wrong, they specifically say that this is a privacy measure to anyone who whines that they want a "superbar" like Chrome's. Using Google is a privacy risk but at least you can control it with Firefox, when typing URLs

I think it depends on the tone of the Allahu Akbar. There's is a "this is breathtaking" tone (much like Oh my God) and a "Fellows, let's praise God" tone. I would say that chanting or shouting that phrase corre

Agreed, this is exactly why I said "predictable". The dilution of techies among the more casual crowd on the Internet was supposed to happen (or we'd be out of jobs), but I wish they had been taught some important concepts of
