I mistakingly signed up to Facebook with a work email in the past. And noticed many work acquaintances appearing in Facebook's: do you know lists. Which I can only attribute to other people sharing their email address contacts with F

Sorry I'm not that offay with Android. I think it was a system notification, a 'Google' one. I doubt it was a Facebook one. And my partner doesn't use Google+ actively as far as I know. They may have stalked me, I&#x

Yes you can't ignore MS, especially when they still dominate the desktop and workstation market with their OS. I was a sysadmin in the 90s, and other admins I knew loved the Microsoft offerings - having gui control panels to server ser

A hypothetical moment of realisation.

I don't think that is what set it apart. It was probably having a software program (iTunes), that could work with your hardware and manage your library. Not sure when they introduced the shop.

You could try: print count(nsaQuery.region('global').device('laptop').activity('-24hr')) ;)

For all the other benefits of the phone, I'd live with that. At least you 'can in theory' dock the phone and then use a 'standard' keyboard. Placing a physical keyboard on the device would probably make it weaker a

The take home I got was to question Facebook and Google's motives. Loon and Android (or a free alternative) could make for a pretty sweet peer to peer alternative Internet. Perhaps an alternative would be to bounce signals off of other

Not wanting to be tangential but is exFAT any good? And what do others use for a cross platform file system? I sadly had to format a portable 600GB drive as FAT32 the other day, just so it would play ball across OSs and devices. I went

This thread is showing the US bias of the forum again. Some of aren't earning enough to run a car let alone a modest one.

I'm sure the whole gaming of HN has been talked to death. But it's not ever that clear to me as to what an 'upvote' actually is. In my mind a submission upvote means 'Interesting', and with comments it's

It looks interesting, but, what is it?

Oh please. This just breeds exclusivity. What's to stop another site or individual filtering HN?

Yeah people frequently mix up left and right also. And my brother always wrote his numbers backwards or rather left to right (units on the left).

Also a lot of people have trouble with the back and forward slashes. When teaching html, people got the closing slash mixed up, it was all over the place.

You certainly aren't alone. I thought the Internet would usher in a new era of enlightenment and put an end to many of man's problems. I'm less optimistic these days, and to be frank what I do is build some pretty dull web

You missed the word 'job'. Perhaps the fun expires when it becomes a job?

Further, I can see why you'd prefer say a conversation to happen on HN then say on Youtube! Being able to comment too easily can make for dull and worthless ill thoughtout comments. But breaking down that barrier is also a social l

Probably only when their lives, loved ones and assets are at risk. But those with more are probably less likely to be in the thick of it, when the peasants revolt - and start to kill each other.

It's a presumption though to assume that the conversation will be happening over there. Or it seems to me a little lofty to suggest that a discussion should take place amongst those people. I get where you are coming from, from a spr

Interesting take. The missus often reminds me that the body does well to have a little time out from alcohol. At least a couple of days off between drinks. Which could allow for weekend and mid week drinking or some variant. It's

Kde was inspired by Windows 95 (which was ripped off from...). Vista later borrowed alot back from Kde.

I'd personally like more local storage depos. And keep freight off of the road during the day. Night time would also be a good time to shift freight. The last mile could be done with a small electric vehicle, or over pneumatic tube
