   That's all well and true, but you could export and build, then use Git for deployment instead of Rsync (if you wanted to.)

   What's wrong with exclude and exclude-from? Using git rm without file manager integration - can be a little thorny.

   It's a shame really, I like the idea of digital distribution. Couldn't there be a system where you pay for a license and still have the ability to sell that license on, and be able to order a physical copy at a slight premium. T

   Better store it all on site or they'll end up with a feedback loop; if they pump it back down the commoner's pipes. ;)

   I think your definition of meta-data is too narrow. It's not just keywords. Excuse me if I state the obvious, but with something like a web page access, the meta data will be in part: your internet address, what time you accessed it,

   I have issues with my sight too. And as such, I've just fixed the font, font-size, foreground and background colours in my browser, and I'm much happier for it. Backlit screens can still play havoc on my eyes, so for longer cont

    I think you've got to question the definition of "web design". I'd argue that the text is framed content and is part of the design. The post at least highlights that 'web design' is somewhat of a distraction.

    The actual HN interface though isn't that readable (for me) though! I read it with my own style - so that it is just words. A few issues I have with it, is the contrast, the bright background, and when you zoom in, the text isn't

    Good question - sorry to come over as negative! Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, XBox (I only think the new name is misleading), Playstation (though it does sound like a childs play area - which I guess it is...), Oracle, Sun, Apple, Mac (this

    iOS, iPad, iPod, iMac, Flickr, Tumblr, Posterous, Cybershot, Vista, Wii (children smirk), XBoxOne (didn't we have an XBox 1?), are all pretty shitty names. I can even remember thinking that Google was a toy name when I first heard it.

    The nice thing is that they are just named after Monty's kids, from what I remember from an interview on FLOSS weekly.

    Cheers for the response. I should have said 'Great to see some checksums!'. (I looked high and low for checksums for my Windows 8 download, and what I did find didn't match what I had. Gives you a little piece of mind after

    So how does that work, your mate turns his PC on, and it kicks you out as you are fighting a boss? I assume not, but it does make you wonder. This basically means that Microsoft will know exactly what you are playing, which machine you ar

    Did I say that I had the professional upgrade! If I tried to do that, it would moan that there wasn't a copy of Windows on the other machine that I was trying to install it on. Even though when reading the license - I am entitled to

    Does it say that? It reads 'Select Desired Testing OS', which is an odd phrase. It could read 'Select desired testing (host) OS'. But may aswell just read 'Select host OS', as you suggest. Seems to be a cla

    The button colour is grey. It doesn't change colour with a state change/hover. The button has a right arrow on it, not a down arrow. Which indicates to me that I'll be leaving the page. It's not obvious it will do a

    Classic example of UX nightmare: So I follow the link, I see a button that says get free VMS. I click it. I then can't figure out what I'm meant to do. I stare at some weird quickstart offer. I give up. I come back to HN,

    Yes, I think you've nailed this on the head. The licensing is all dressed up, but ultimately MS is the one trying to take a slice of every pie. Having said that, I'm not sure what and how they currently profit from their console
