Bullshit. There are hundreds of extensions that block third-party cookies and any form of tracking; what we are talking about here is hurting any content creator who wants to monetize their content without creating a paywall and therefore d

Its extremely naive to believe everyone who needs access to the content in the internet has a credit card to pay for every bit of it that they need. This kind of behavior will only push the movement even more far away from mainstream popula

No, at all. He is using a measure to make his point: Ratings. You are not using anything. And the "If you think is worst is because you only remember the good parts" is bullshit as a general statement. Internet is better, Windows

Disappointing that it doesn't have a chapter for plugin development, in my opinion that's the best feature of Sublime Text: You can use all the python ecosystem plus it has a nice API. Plus you understand anyone's plugins bec

That's... strange. In Colombia we do have credit cards.

I just gave a youtube video a standing ovation. This is indeed one of the best things ever, and I hope parents introduce him to their kids as one of the oh-so-scarce true modern real-life heroes. I also would like to ask, if any HNers know,

This is a all new level of corruption, here are the interesting bits: - In 1994, Airbus lost a $6 billion contract with Saudi Arabia after the NSA, acting as a whistleblower, reported that Airbus officials had been bribing Saudi officials t

Yeah, this needs to happen. It need to start somewhere so if someone here works at a college it should start the movement. WaS = Wikipedia as Assignment.

That's correct. Despite what most people believe, US laws don't apply outside the US.

The problem is that we are talking about the kind of people that doesn't even know half the valuable capabilities of Windows XP.

Really, "more great than ever in history"? Tell me one single group that is better than Queen, one single singer better than Syd Barrett, one single song better than Stairway to Heaven. I believe there is good music out there, but

Why you are being down voted is a mystery to me. (I upvoted you but I have been vote-banned AKA my votes do nothing at all)

The fact that this article has been flagged (is no longer in the front page despite being way up there minutes a go) and the lack of upvotes (compared to other less important articles) makes me fear for the future of humanity. Because despi

The irony there is that music is going downhill anyways, without needing to be automatized, because now you buy songs instead of albums/discs or just listen to them using youtube or some free streaming service. Plus there may be a fini

I bet is more than 10%; Windows XP comes with a lot of bad baggage.. such as IE7. And anyway, the OS was an example, it just goes downhill from there.

There is another state: vote-banned, like me; basically you see the up/down arrows in every comment but they do nothing at all (upvoting submissions do works).

I'm just waiting for someone to create a (fail-safe) parachute for those devices so we can just move on from the "it's gonna fall!" arguments.

No, it is not. Who you are should matter, we don't want to stop a major advance in tech just because the one who will lead its creation may be a prick.

I'm afraid you are right. "After 911 we tortured some folks but lets not be sanctimonious about the tough job the tortures had" is by far the worst thing any president (or dictator) has ever say in a public speech.
