If you open it with Opera and don't feel it particularly amazing, like I did, open it with another browser. (Only viewing the source I realized it was supposed to be animated)

I find that reading the Wikipedia page for the birth year is more complete and interesting. This effort is interesting, but the black background is painful to read on for so long time. I know, years ago, pages had awful backgrounds too. The

Let's not exaggerate. Just because the article is silly and obviously trying to make something bigger than it actually is doesn't mean that "everyone born these days are morons". Also, http://xkcd.com/603/

To be honest, the whole title is silly. Apparently a kid needs to be "bored" to do that. It's obviously an important information. "Zero-day exploit" is also an amazing way to call "changing the hour to make the crops grow faster". The whole

Pity though that Swing didn't get much love in this release. But I guess that's the course of things.

To be fair, the portion of open source software which actually have that kind of guidelines instead of being just a shot from the individual developer's mind is very small.

Nothing to do with OpenSource issues, though.

It's deprecated anyway, it refers to the first death star. Use the latest specification provided by the Empire for exact calculations.

Maybe someone could add a "speculation" or "prediction" tag to the title, because so far it's looking like an actual fact.

Besides, my company for example filters such words in URLs (and logs any such attempt), so I wouldn't be able to see this site from there with such a name.

It is uncommon to the regular user, though, who is probably the one targeted by this feature.

Stallman is like you would imagine him. Hardcore geek/guru, fully involved and dedicated to his cause. Torvalds is more of the pragmatic kind of person in personality (at least from what I remember reading about him over the years). He's no

Well at least we can learn how to use it, by heart, instead of refreshing the "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon." page :)

It's fun to read about, but I can't help wondering what is really the idea behind that. I mean, someone invested money to design and manufacture this addon. In an objective to sell it. But who would buy that? What exactly is the target mark

In France you have 3 main players (and some little ones using their networks, but that doesn't really count). They were already condemned for some "secret" agreements on prices ( http://www.cellular-news.com/story/15060.php ). A fourth oper

Yeah, that's becoming quite usual. Change one thing and you have self entitled UI experts all other the place to explain that it's awful because their personal taste doesn't allow for change. But apparently it works. After all, I clicked th

Ok, but why would you have to see https, then? Wouldn't a lock icon be enough? If the idea is to drop the prefix because it's redundant and useless to most, then it's same for https. All what matters to the end user is that he is on a secur

In Opera, it's only a cosmetic change as long as you don't click the address bar. When you click it, the full url is displayed and selected, along with the http:// , so no problems to copy. (It is a bit disturbing though because it goes a

"The basic purpose of hiding the common prefix, http:// , is to make URLs more visible. This will also help users to easily identify the website they are dealing with. Although, the URL prefix for encrypted pages ( https:// ) will be displ

Yes, of course. From your previous messages it was looking like you were assuming that private files were "safe", that's why I wanted to add the detail. I agree as well on the need for an encrypted solution. I'm surprised that Dropbox hasn'

by gnoupi 15y ago
The issue with Dropbox recently is that for 4 hours, there was no password check. So it's not as much to protect public/shared files, but to protect all files you have on Dropbox, in the eventuality someone gets full access to your account.

But that's also the best way to becoming careless about typing "rm". And the day you will be ssh'd on another computer, you may forget that you are using a command which is really deleting.

You can submit and vote, so people assume it's just like a reddit or something, I guess. The bigger problem is that it gets voted on, because it's "fun/cool". But indeed it doesn't really have something to do here, it's more in the "sensati
