Also, this bit: "It's important to note that NuCaptcha is a video stream and not a Flash program. This is because it is not secure to create a Captcha in Flash." Yet, the Click-to-Plugin feature from Chrome says it's Flash. Worst captcha co

I want to smell that. Thanks to the OP for bringing back fond memories of my chemistry days. Color shifts and weird smells were the shit back then. :)

"now" is decidedly premature. Adobe's announcement yesterday happened after this conversation, and I don't recall them making the new Photoshop available right now . And, seriously, if they have to make it one of the primary features highl

Could you try and sell it a bit more energetically to us? In what grounds is it better than the myriad of other clients that came before? How is it better than news:yc app, which has been recognized as one of the best around and Open Source

Indeed. For years we had to use workarounds and various cheats . Having different radii was a pain in the ass in PS, but a breeze in FW.

It's definitely a Fireworks replacement: slices export, CSS export, etc. It functions like Illustrator in the way that it uses a board (group of assets) rather than a limited canvas (a single asset), but it is not a software for doing ill

I've been using Fireworks for years, back to Macromedia Fireworks 4. It's much better/faster than Photoshop for web design (rounded square corners come to mind). If you work on a Mac, consider Sketch by Bohemian Coding : http://www.bohemia

I've tried the demos on my iPhone: my only gripe is that when a pop-in is taller than the screen and that I scroll down/up, the whole page scrolls down/up. Is there any way to dissociate scrolling until the pop-in is closed?

Awesome! I was looking for that kind of intelligent lightbox plugin. It's exactly what I wanted. Kudos to you, me good sire!

Ditto. Well explained and all. Eventhough I've used Git for quite some time (GUI are for the lazy, and I'm a lazy basterd) but I still don't understand a damn thing. Well I've grasped the broad concept, but everything smaller eludes me. Thi

I'd argue many TLDs present the same issue. I myself use the .es TLD (Spain) as a "novelty" domain name (geekeri.es), but Google won't treat its content as targeted towards international, and mainly english-speaking audience. It's a shame a

Again, promises. And F. Hollande has not a good track records of keeping promises.

I'd like to know your sources, and wear your rosy glasses. As a French student, I'll leave the country at the first occasion. We are heading into a big, thick wall and we'll lose more than the pigeons when we go bankrupt.

It is available in France, but yet again France is one of the "bigger" markets. Couldn't you get access to the UK's or Ireland's store? All you need is a voucher card and a fresh email address. That's how I got my US account for US-exclusiv

The app itself is developed with nodejs.

I'm trying to think of a good analogy to counter your point of view, but it's such an enormous fallacy that I shouldn't even bother.

Why hang your clothes when you can buy new ones? ;-) Totally agree with OP.

I think OP's saying he has read archives going back 1 year and a half. Not unread, read . I too have hundreds of read articles sitting in my Instapaper's archives, and a few dozens of favorites. I'm more concerned for them than the unrea

Well, I see your point but you are using examples that voluntarily circumvent Apple's established, system-wide shortcuts. Fortunately for us and developers, setting custom shortcuts for different commands is still supported. But this allows

I would love for Microsoft to introduce some Apple-isms in Windows: text navigation is particularly awful, and I'm far more efficient on OS X when it comes to text. The lack of forward delete key doesn't bother me or hinder me at all: comma

Ditto. Unread comments count is a godsend.

But unless the blogger uses very specific software (read: excluding static generators), there is no way to know someone has just posted a comment to a post you wrote two years ago. I'd much rather them send me an email so I can answer in du

I don't know of his situation either, but instead of buying a copy for yourself, it'd be even wiser to gift a copy to good friends or simply spread the word of his great work here and elsewhere.

I've read in a Amazon review that it is recommended to start with Consider Phlebas , then The Player of Games and finally Use of Weapons (as a first start into the Culture, that is). I've bought them three myself and will read them in

FWIW, I've ordered the first three novels of the Culture series. I didn't know of Iain Banks until today and his terrible news. I just wish he'll live the most playful last months of his life with his soon-to-be wife. We cannot wish for any

In my opinion, that's because Hacker News --- besides self-inflating egos as noted by @petercooper --- has the right tools and already mature community which are more suited to host civilized and fruitful conversations than on a blog. My av

Well, I have the exact opposite experience. I guess it depends on where you live on the globe. :)

True. I didn't even realized we could see the northern lights on such a common flight route (and I realize now that it was pretty obvious).
