"These bastards need to be killed"? Seriously? Those bastards need to be prosecuted under whatever laws exist to punish this behavior. Killed is pretty damn extreme, regardless of the events in that video. Those kinds of sentiments get yo

It's only negatively impacting the artist if they didn't get a cut of his original purchase. In this scenario, the only person who has ended up without something they initially had is the consumer. At worst the artist lost a potential futu

One of the major differences is that OkCupid lets you search for people who've been online recently, and allows you to contact people without paying for the service. The big tricks used by the pay dating sites are that they make it difficul

So, am I reading this right, in that someone can create a profile for you without your consent, and you can't stop it from appearing?

It must be stopped because it doesn't increase the number of green cards issued, it just reallocates them. As such, it will damage the existing system, rather than just creating a new damaged system. To build on your analogy, it's like bur

Here's a question: in the US, if a juror mentions jury nullification during deliberation, can they be penalized or can their actions lead to a mistrial? I seem to remember that once deliberation starts, whatever a jury talks about is offi

There's a difference between being able to appreciate the artistic value of something, and being able to enjoy it. I don't like jazz, and I mostly listen to music where I can't understand the lyrics, or where none exist. Sometimes people

From what I've found checking online, saws with SawStop are multiple thousands of dollars. ($2900 for their home-carpenter, table saw version.) Ryobi is a budget toolmaker. I'd bet that the reason he didn't buy one was Sawstop is because

This is absolutely ridiculous. If he wanted a saw with Sawstop, he should have paid the money to buy one with it! For a comparison, a Sawstop cabinet saw intended for home woodworkers was (as of July 09) $2900. Ryobi's MOST expensive tabl

Anyone know if there could be legal repercussions for a US citizen reading this, should they have a way to track the IPs of the readers? (I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to anything related to security clearances, but considering some

They cut out freaking Thomas Jefferson. I can't even begin to express how disgusted I am at this.

Nope, no startup; just working from home for my Maryland employer of several years. Nebraska actually had affordable housing. :P

Nice to see some other people from Lincoln on HN. The cost of living here is fantastic.

To clarify the above, generally we'd get three kinds of laptop customers. The first were "on-the-way" types; they'd get a latte or mocha and a pastry, using their laptops while they did (on battery), then leave. Not really any personal con

I don't see what's so terrible about this, other than just knee-jerk moral outrage. It probably also helps deal with some of the more disruptive elements of running a coffee shop with wi-fi, like squatters, torrenters, etc. From my time wo

7 people at a LAN party I attended last month were in the process of trying to buy the latest Borderlands DLC when someone pointed out it had Securom. I had it in my Steam cart when I found it out, and promptly removed it. Everyone who pl

Anyone aware of any legal issues with using this service in the United States? I don't recall any, but I'm not really very up to date on the legal issues involving encryption and/or VPNs.

I thought the "having animals" numbers were pretty interesting too; it looks like having a pet in the picture may lead to a fairly sizable increase in contact rates.

Sort of ironic; a "conservative think-tank" pushes a political agenda in condemning a scientist who is suspected of pushing a political agenda. It may be true that the funds shouldn't have gone to him. This press release isn't really helpin

Anyone know of a reliable site that provides state-by-state information on the legality of recording the police at work? Seems like this would be a good topic for a little cheat-sheet notecard in someone's wallet.

In regards to the poor English, I'm fairly confident the author may have been deliberately attempting to obscure their writing style. It's very possible that the author feels her husband would not approve of (or consent to) publishing a cri

The nice thing about working retail through college is that it motivates you to do whatever is necessary to never have to do it again.

This is such a terrible idea. If this gets any sort of publicity at all, people will be even more likely to hop at e-mail scams than they already are. The really frustrating part is that there's no good way to fight it; raise hell, and they

I'd say it didn't detract from the narrative; it made the narrative accessible to a different audience. The screenplay format both presented a story-based framework for understanding the progression of the argument, and humor (unicorn with

This is not actually a list of specific angel investors to avoid; that would have been a lot more useful. The real problem is that most of the traits listed in this article are really hard to discover without having worked with the investor

Something about this strikes me as either shady, or engineered to make a point. I'm probably paranoid, of course. Looking at the about page, "Men with Pens" was founded by the article's author. The sit is deliberately and heavily grounded

Holt's where we got my sister from. I guess they're one of the biggest Korean adoption agencies. Makes sense that the study was based around their data.

In regards to your race statement, I agree with your intent, but it's not really race; it's about social and cultural perceptions of race. Thirty years ago things were very different for inter-racial families than they are now, and that va

The older generation is bitter because they heavily invested according to a specific system of advancement, lived a good life because of it, and now these modern kids act like the system was always broken. The younger generation is bitter b
