While this sounds like a neat idea, it's sort of annoying that people keep posting sites that don't do anything. I don't want to sign up for a newsletter and be notified/spammed later. I want to mess with it now. That's why I clicked on the

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't really understand why video chat on a phone is a big deal. Most of the time when I'm on the phone, I'm walking around town, or what have you. The rest I'm already sitting at my desk in front of my computer.

I agree with what you're saying, but I'm not entirely sure this is a totally conscious reflex. I'd be interested in seeing a study where comments are rated with one set showing a low or negative score, the same comment with a high score, an

So wait... Who am I tipping? It seems to me this device replaced the waiter with a busser... Or am I missing something?

Take what I say with a large grain of salt as it's just been my experience but... I've tried Ubuntu off an on for several years but never really been satisfied. Mostly the problems I've had have been summed up by the only partly tongue-in-c

Well, it's sort of a hard question to answer. But Google has been hacked in the past. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/01/operation-aurora/ I think the creepier (and more likely) problem is an Evil Googler. http://gawker.com/#!56372

I hate the argument of "Google is doing it too!" Just because someone else is behaving (what I would consider to be) badly doesn't make the behavior any less reprehensible.

But... how do I know it's worth the "price" before I've seen it? Or am I missing something?

Wow. Thanks for posting this! Besides being interesting, it has inspired me to go pick up a personal project I've sort of abandoned! I'm really hoping to get it working enough to do a Show HN post for some feedback. Thanks! :-)

What exactly is keeping you there? Sounds a bit Stockholm syndrome to me.

I'm not so sure that it's they figured it all out at the start. It's probably more to do with mantra of "Experts Exchange with out the evil" Just figure out what EE did, and then do the exact opposite.

Neat! I've taken up using bip http://bip.milkypond.org/ on my server and connecting with circe, an emacs irc client.

You can lose commits if you use git gc but you're probably aware of what you're doing when you do that.

I _think_ you might be able to run a tilling wm in X but that wouldn't exactly replace the wm. I sorta hate the OS X wm which is a major impetus for me to run debian where I can actually chose what wm to use instead of having to obey the a

Sounds like you don't really need OS X then. Unless you're particularly attached to Safari. I'm roughly the same myself. Only with urxvt and conkeror instead of Terminal and Safari.

What about amarok? ( http://amarok.kde.org/ )I find iTunes to be terribly annoying and slow. I also don't have an iPod so... Do you run rockbox on it? ( http://www.rockbox.org/ ) I've found digikam ( http://www.digikam.org/ ) to work

Even if it "encourages" it hardly justifies it. It is breaking the law, plain and simple. I'm rather tired of people shifting the blame to the content producers or publishers. If you're going to break the law, at least own up to it and don'

Out of curiosity, do you know of anyone who has actually done this? I'm not entirely convinced this model is as repeatable as you think. I'd be interested to see more data on the subject.

While I agree, the publisher should be providing books in every region they can, it's not as simple matter of the publisher saying "I hate China, let's make them wait for the new book cause I'm a jerk." It's a matter of if they print an edi

Heh. That reminds me of the scene from Pride and Prejudice where they discuss how "accomplished" is applied too liberally to young ladies.

The reason they are frowned upon is because the discussion section should contain, ya know, discussion. Not 30 pages of tired memes.

Or, ya know, emacs, which is nearly a zillion times more customizable and Free both as in beer and freedom.

This is one of the only things that really annoys me about these courses, is that they are often only available via iTunes U. I don't have, nor do I want, iTunes. I shouldn't have to fire up a VM to access "open" content. I deal with it but

That's why we love Arc90's Readability http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ No longer do we have to care what ugly fonts or color schemes people use when posting blog articles.
