   There's a strong misunderstanding going on here of what "authorial control" means, though. Anything you can do in a game, even a free-form game, is taking place within a system of rules set down by the game's designers and programmers. Game

   Some pretty epically horrible blog comments for that article. Wow!

   I could see this working very well for Southwest, though, for instance, as they already have everyone pre-line up not only by lettered zones, but also in groups of five within those zones (eg "B 15-20") at most every Southwest gate they ser

   How many people making web services and tools actually care about their community or their contributions, long-term? I'd bet, in all honesty, very few. For instance, if you're building to be bought, why would you give a shit?

   This seems like an odd article to post on HN. Also, British people have their own collection of wholly insane nonsensical grating remarks which have no business in the English language proper, so I don't quite see where this guy gets off.

   I was almost entirely referring to mobile Safari's tendency to cache nothing ever. With an app like this, everything but the actual transaction data is stored locally, and the time you'd save from that could easily be the difference between

   Any employee in my office could use this app to quickly sell merchandise and products on a convention showfloor. It may not be free and similar services may be offered elsewhere, but this still looks very quick and friendly. People here hav

   Is this news? I mean, hasn't Wired /always/ been super ad heavy? Hey, it has! http://www.suck.com/daily/95/10/06/daily.html "We studied issue 3.09 (the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger on its cover) and were not surprised to discover that o

    By this logic you also advocate replacing any state or federal use of the term "marriage" with "civil union" for heterosexual couples as well, and leave "marriage" as a term exclusively to religious groups, then?

    Agreed 100%. No news piece (even on the internet) has an infinite word count available to dedicate to a particular topic. This means that the reporter for the story and the responsible editor have to decide what is actually relevant and new

    I think the instant single click payment acceptance and processing makes it a little different from most Linux package repositories. Also, a dude who is running Linux and browsing a repository of software to try/install on his machine is al
