Mathematics. Plot a difficult function, search limits, derivatives, integrals... Wolfram is the master of calculus. It only fails when I make queries about sets.

Just taking the parts which sound bad to me: "At least with respect to pirated copyright goods and counterfeit trademark goods, each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings, at the right holder's request, its judicial autho

Great! But it does not recognise matrixes. Matrixes are the hardest thing to write in LaTeX, it would be wonderful to write them by hand and then having the LaTeX code without problems.

I suppose that O2 gives their trusted partners a way to check age and make billings through a private API or similar. Any other site which is not affiliated with them wouldn't have access to that API so they can't get any other information.

Nice hat tip to Microsoft when he says "I wouldn't say it's a two-horse race. There's a horse in Redmond that always suits up and always runs and will keep running". I wouldn't expect these words coming from an Apple executive. It means tha

CSS animations and graphic jobs can be hardware accelerated, so it's way faster and doesn't affect the performance of the browser. There was an article posted here on HN about this exact topic, comparing animations in JavaScript vs CSS. I'm

"An eye for an eye ... ends in making everybody blind." The fact they're taking down webs does not automatically legitimate us to take down their pages. Also, they've the right to take down MU cause it is (or should be) a judicial process,

Maybe the majority of the content was copyright-protected, but that's not always bad. Of course, I'm not talking about the last Photoshop with crack or the new Brad Pitt movie. I'm talking about that old fanzine scanned by someone, which is

I don't see the point of this kind of actions. The only inconvenient they cause is taking the site offline a few hours, and the most affected one is the IT manager/team who has to mitigate the attack and bring the server back up. DOJ will n

There is a spanish Digg-like site, Menéame [1], which offers this same option. I think it works pretty well as it keeps the site clean of news which don't obey the rules. Despite that, people will still reply explaining why they flagged the

I think this in an interesting discussion. Sometimes the user presses back to go to the previous screen, sometimes to go to the parent element (i.e., when you're seeing an email and press back to return to your inbox). For me, the best solu

Maybe that's the solution. Negative votes do not promote healthy conversation if they're used like sirwitti explains. Here in HN they are more or less working, but HN is a very special place.

Negative votes (or down votes) are the worst thing ever invented. Their purpose is punishing comments (or news, or whatever) which are bad: spam, rude, unrelated... But, instead, people use them for punishing ideas they don't agree with. I

Never thought about Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc, going black and telling you to contact representatives. But it would be not "nuclear", it would be "6000km diameter meteorite". Think about it: almost 100% of people connected to the Inter

I'm on some little project for WP7 too. I think that more developers will adopt WP7 when they see it has a clear future. At the moment it's a bit cloudy, we still don't know if it will continue growing or not. Anyways, being the first on WP

Not your fault. Apple software in Windows is awful. iTunes is slow and ugly, for example. But when you use that apps in a Mac they're just great. Don't ask me why this happens. It may be Apple's engineers fault or Windows' architecture faul

I think this means HN readers are way more 'engaged' than TC's. HN readers are more interested in the topics being treated here, and click-through rate is probably higher. It's also important the fact that in HN you only have a link to the

I don't think so. In TechCrunch there is the AOL-CrunchFund problem. All of the leavings are related with the CrunchFund issue, and I do not see any sign of bubble here. In Mashable... well, things are different. The blog has changed its di
