Exactly. I guess it can be argued that you cannot partially support freedom, as it is only sold as the whole, but I also feel that there are laws that can mediate this middle ground. Although I am not always the biggest fan of 'Johny Law',

While I do feel that the anonymity provided on the internet has great value, I also feel that positive things can be exploited in a negative and counter productive manner. Just as trolls exploit this aspect of privacy to attack people that

Agreed. I is funny that the majority of these 'trolls' would not dare provoke an individual in the real world as they will online. I knew a guy in high school who was extremely passive and timid in the real world, but got the biggest kick

Well I apologize for my crassness and low brow jab - actually, no I don't. I guess I could have taken the time to articulate some well formed argument about the role of trolls and the underlining motivations for their actions on the net, bu

In the real world we call them "douche bags"...

Here is the NASA press release for those wishing for a bit more breadth than Twitter can provide: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2008/jul/HQ_08_195_Phoenix_w...

I think that misses the point of this MARKETING CAMPAIGN ;) They don't want a real study, they just want something SHINY to show people...

I am having the same issue on FF3/Ubuntu(Hardy)... Hmmm... Edit: Oddly enough, open in Opera (Linux) and you get one continuous page - no slides...

Lame. Watch the individual videos: - a lot of MS:"this is really vista." pawn:"really?" - a lot of MS:"Here, let ME show you _randomGadget_" pawn:"huh. wow." One thing I notice is what few actual pawn responses are given, seem to be comin

Agreed. Although there has been a considerable amount of "unsuitable" material make it to the front page of HN, there has also been a lot of pointless citation of this unsuitable material - to the degree that it dominates constructive dial

I too think that there is untapped potential with cell processing - specific tasks that the cell processors are more adept at performing. There have been some interesting publications about cryptography and password cracking using PS3's ce

I am not a professional developer, and am more akin to a hobbiest programmer/developer, so take this for what it is worth. Like icey said, pick up Django and learn it - this will get you results far faster and of a higher quality then rolli

A loss for not only the realm of science, but the world as a whole - very inspirational man. Mr. Pausch will be missed.

Ha! Yea, I am pretty sure that some of these will get your ass capped - depending on locale of course (aka someplace other than the Apple store).

Agnostic and atheist beliefs are likely more concentrated in the hacker world because this is a world of science and mathematics - worlds that have not traditionally reconciled well with the world of religion (no flaming please, historical

What makes the situation worse is that the laptop manufactures work with Microsoft to include 'Vista only' hardware, making it difficult to get XP running on the machine - my DV6000t is a prime example. Thank goodness that Ubuntu, SUSE and

Good job - I like. Functionally streamlined, clean design and creative branding hook - I'll be checking back in the future.

"Method and apparatus for creation and maintenance of database structure." Clown-shoes. I think they also hold the patent on "process and action of making outlandishly stupid patent claims". I think they should be sued for wasting the pate

There are cons, but a lot of people have a PayPal account - a lot of people who otherwise would not enter their credit card info to donate.

Thank God! Craig's List is a cesspool for BS Ads - hopefully this will cut the craptacular of manipulative ads that have been on there traditionally. It is f'n funny to see the low-life, scumbag, POS, donkey-raping, child molestering, mast

Hmm. So, basically it boils down to adding new novelties, bells and whistles took precedence to implementing basic functionality and utility? If this is Apple's reason for not adding cut/paste, they need to pull their collective heads out

Disclaimer: I am a noob, so take this for what it is worth. After/during school I played in Ruby, Perl, PHP and most recently Python. I love Python and find it making sense where the other languages and frameworks seemed unnecessarily conf

Find a way to make women as fascinated by men as men are by women? Also, I think the comment on 'rich guys' is likely onto something - advertise on ladders.

Furthermore, this was apparently a cooperative movement between Canonical, ValueSoft and BestBuy to make a more accessible and user friendly Linux available to the masses. http://blog.canonical.com/?p=18 Viva La Linux Revolution!

Thanks for the condescension. I couldn't agree more on cost not equating value - I am an avid Ubuntu user and would gladly pay for its value as an operating system. The above was a joke - apparently not a good one, but a joke none the less

I guess if people want to pay for something that is widely reported as being free, then let them pay for it. Maybe once they become emerged in Ubuntu goodness, they will awake to their error in paying for something they could have burnt the
