HA! Most people don't think about the fact that buying McDonalds' food costs money, and so does download an episode of something legally. To them though, food has value, the episode is digital and thus free. Its a weird outlook on things.

Cool. Not a big surprise. Take a person who is focused on playing sports, sports, sports, training, sports, and oh yea, training who also is poor, and shove money in their face the thing they will do is buy everything they could. The proble

no question, this can't be sustained for long periods of time. The goal is usually get funding and work on the startup, but for now that's not the case.

Gabriel, if you are reading this, I am waiting on the duckduckgo stickers with a fork stuck in the bill in response to this. Gota put it on my hot rod...err... dinky netbook.

You are probably right. Hes probably comparing search terms to wiki information and then looking for homepage info on wikipedia. You know what, thats good enough for me.

I fail to see how this is an all hands abandon ship issue. If its a critical issue in all 3 interpreters they should be fixed asap if possible. At worst with a flag. If rubinius/ironruby/jruby have no issues, this may become moot eventually

I could not agree more. This is a pointless group. They should focus much more time money and effort on spreading word to the media indicating the implications of this. I seriously doubt any tactics these guys do will have any effect. Basic

And THERE is your answer. They cannot sell info for a <13yo. So therefore they demand you be 13. To them its a liability. My 4.y.o. uses the web constantly and is becoming quite proficient at it. I would be pissed if they disabled her a

That site is a piece of shit slow site, can anyone please sum up because by the time I page though all 7 pages I will shoot myself. I'm really curious as to what the numbers are.

I still care, but would be nice to not have them take up ram/phone space/etc. I really don't want the sprint nascar app. Really don't. Combined with HTC's policy of unlocked bootloader by default, this will be the most open system for andro

Nice. EA aint the only ones. My online paystub system demands 6-11 characters, and alphanumeric+a few special ones. And thats sensitiveish data. Don't worry EA is not so terrible. (ok yes they are)... calling @lolsec and friends.

The answer is actually much simpler than that: Any mediocre programmer will write unmaintainable code in the long run. At some point one of three things will happen and always do, no exception: 1) They get too frustrated to work on this POS

I think this should be an automated response to anything on HN about "how do I make $X in Y time" If I can think of a way to make 2.5mil in 3 years, I guarantee you I will not tell you, I will do it right here and now. So first lets ask why

So here's my take on the matter. This is a Damned if you do, damned if you don't problem. a) Firefox must release frequently to keep up with competition. A firefox by any other version is just the same set of changes, just labeled 4.1 vs 5.

I will now transfer 1 UNC (UNicorn Coin) to the devs for this. Definitely a feature that should have been there earlier. However there is a bug, clicking the X sometimes causes the need to click it twice because the first time it is ignored
