He's referring to how RMS has said that he browses the Web. I think it was more of a painting of the lifestyle as a whole, rather than a specific edict from the FSF. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/134979

The slug of this article is telling: android-market-has-drm-too Assuming that's an early working title, I wonder why it didn't last? The implied comparison is interesting.

I walked the street during Project Chanology, and I'm not particularly afraid to admit it -- it was a long time ago, though. These days, I wouldn't dream of admitting being associated with Anonymous. Somewhere between then and now they real

Before anyone says "but this doesn't give you the OS X SDKs!", it's fairly easy for me to get them from the company's iOS developer account. If that's different for this program, I'd be absolutely stunned. There's multiple ways around this,

The great thing about Sarbanes-Oxley is that it is large enough to get away with blaming everything on it. Oh, you can say, my accounting team says Sarbanes-Oxley requires this 40% markup . Then if anybody actually calls you on it, you c

I'd counter that Reddit has grown over time, has a much wider readership, and probably cares about off-the-wall browsers and configurations more than Hacker News does. Reddit also looks pretty good on my iPhone, and HN does not. What I don'

Is there a thesis here? I have no idea what you're trying to tell us. Hacker News isn't exactly Reddit...what are you comparing?

No, cue the you're assuming you won't get Xcode 4 with Lion rabble. Seriously. Don't jump to conclusions yet. Can you clarify the $5-hurts-FOSS argument? I don't mean to sound crass, but there are people who pay more than $5 for coffee. I

Since my only iOS project is a single-developer one, I plan on refactoring into Xcode 4, since it lets me rethink how I structure the app. I never did a Universal iOS build of the app that I work on because I got frustrated with making it w

The error page had a code, and I asking if that code was P1 for you too. I accepted the new license on behalf of my company and it went away, so it's a moot point now.

You can get the iOS SDKs without paying? I thought it was only 10.5 and 10.6 you could get without being in the iOS Developer Program.

I agree, but good luck getting every mom-and-pop merchant in the entire world to redo their POS. Moving is going to take a long time.

Again, please answer this: why does the Square app need to know the plaintext number? That is what makes it different from a USB card reader that operates as a keyboard. One is designed to accept payments, and the other is designed to ste

The comments on the story, and the first round here, make me worry that people are missing the point. Particularly this one: > VeriFone's point (albeit a stupid one) is that the path from the card reader itself to the iOS device is not

Do you mean dribbble uses noise subtly or that it's contributing to the overuse? Your point is a bit vague. I would guess the former, because I think the noise really adds to their presentation. It almost feels like I can rub the lettering

Wireshark's Follow TCP Stream capability does roughly the same thing. Wireshark isn't the prettiest on OS X, but it works, and the ability to do this after-the-fact with tcpdump-created dumps from a remote box is useful. http://www.wires

Hardly. They're fudged a bit as you say, but they're quite close to reality. Enough that I'd look at the proportion instead of the exact numbers, which is the meaning I was attempting to drive home. The numbers are fudged by a very small
