If I still worked in news (I worked in TV) I'd go with this, definitely. "Neil Armstrong, seen here back in the lunar module after his historic moon walk..." Also, the picture of Armstrong climbing back in the Lunar Module is fine. Converse

Being 31, growing up when I did, sometimes the things discussed in TED, and the wonderful future you allude to, seem like flying cars. And not to be down on you, or the future in general. Maybe this is a side effect of growing not only when

I agree. A few Google searches and I can find out how to extend the rage of a AR.Drone to over 2 kilometers.[0] If they're serious about their business they're doing the same thing. Slap a prepaid cell phone on it, start up any of the popul

Was their really "anger" and "furore" about it? And assuming his intention was about dodging taxes (I honestly can't remember that either,) and there was anger, it was anger at his intent. That it came back to bite him doesn't mean the ange

Taking a few minutes, looking around, it's fine. In fact, I dig it. But was design ever the problem for Hulu? Content is king here, and Hulu just doesn't have it. As a viewer, I expect a site like this has to either be niche, or truly all e

Sadly, that's not Hulu, that's the rights holders. And that's not changing for a long time.

The article is from February of 2008. Is there any reason to post this?

Between the to bar and the content, for a week or so, place a centered link reading "A personal message about the future of HN from Paul Graham." Make it a thread maybe. Talk about the expectations of visitors. The need to build up, rather

You completely failed to address his question. The article made no large claims? And the article you linked points to numbers saying that the large majority (74%) of Russians say the punishment should be "time served" (or, "let them serve a

Fair enough, but in this case, storage is very cheap.

This is just silly. Can you imagine them saying they couldn't prosecute a cocaine kingpin because the evidence took up too much room in storage? "We couldn't prosecute them. Their lab was too big. They were too successful." This has to eith

I actually looked up what it would take to get a support job in McMurdo years back. The appeal of the type of person who would seek out that desolate place is a fascinating thought. To look at what draws a person to that frontier, both the

Vanilla Android. How many manufacturers ship with just vanilla Android, completely unlocked? That alone would make a good bullet point, even if someone does have worthwhile additions.

What Ouya is, is a free emulator for older games. And an OnLive box. And an XBMC box. And by default of running Android, a Netflix box. There are 3600 people willing to pay to reserve their usernames. Almost 60k people have bought the hope

Perfectly cool, but like others here I'm curious how you're going to "out do" RainyMood.com. Personally, since they added the "recommended song" feature, likely in response to people so often comparing songs to couple with it (especially Th

I do agree, but they were probably written in the constant annoyance of people copying the sound file when he first started. (The site was much simpler. As I recall you could find the mp3's location listed simply in the source.) So attitude

Great, now I'll expect entire search results to disappear completely when a company tells Google that they own something.

Or, maybe Steam itself will be the stalking horse for Steam for Linux. It makes absolute sense to me that Steam will push Linux hard, planting a flag on the OS in the eyes of gamers, while simultaneously trying to turn this spike in adoptio

The thing that strikes me is how... Ubiquitous as it is, and at the same time, unknown to so many more. "Browsing 4chan" truly is the "reading Rolling Stone magazine" of its day. And somehow, it retains that while being huge. I say this as

While I love the idea of free and open software, I have to admit an ignorance to it in application (well, at least Linux). Valve creates a Steam client, and gets the Source game engine running awesomely on "Linux". How do all the different

Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me why they don't reboot OpenGL? Or better, leave the current run as is for the CAD folk, then run a new API, "OGL-Game". Also, I got bored the other day... I can't help but wonder if Valve would push

Eh, maybe the headline, but the article is mediocre. Why not link to Stallman's actual post? https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/nonfree-games.en.html

As a random person who likes the idea of open and free software (and realize "open" and "free" aren't interchangeable), but doesn't care if people want to charge for their software (in this case games,) I'm glad he's offering a pragmatist v

If you think retaining some information at the behest of a government or source makes you a corrupt broker of information... Then there's never been a pure news agent ever.
