Companies should also be named according to type, so publicly listed companies should use camel-case and private companies dashes, faceBook and face-book could co-exist. _FACEBOOK_ too, they're a gloabal insustry. /s

Which may be what this is actually about; having the words 'litter' and 'gram' together. Speculating that 'keep-britain-tidygram' might not have attracted attention.

Given that the use of something-gram is likely to cause confusion in the eyes of some, perhaps instagram ought to have given more thought to naming their product to begin with. I mean, any fool could see where this was heading if the app in

That wasn't an easy read but it was worth it if for no other reason than to drive home the point. I would now like to create an app that sends snapshots of what random things weigh, and call it gramgram. Any drug dealers on HN with a l

My first gaming was done on my C64 and my bestie had an Atari 800 which we loved because cartridges meant fast load times, my C64 only had cassette tape. He then got an Atari ST which we also thought was a really good computer. This is in t

Lucas should have his lawyers send a telegram to Instagram's lawyers explaining where the gram part of the name comes from, and ask them to change their name. The idea that large companies can own a word, that they themselves have ap

That may be because not many roadsters were sold and the rarity makes them more desirable. The newer models sell in larger numbers and (i assume) will fall faster in the used market.

The other side of gamergate are documented to have pulled similar if not worse stunts, but this goes unmentioned. There are no winners in GG, and few of those involved can claim to wear a halo. When a journalist fails to mention important f

Well, it depends who you talk to, and honestly I haven't the time nor the inclination to get into the details of Scottish politics right now, but some would say the last 300 years of Scotland's history are one long human rights ab

Probably because there is nothing "correct" about it, it is simply opinion (that shouldn't be downvoted either). Something is not "correct" because you agree with it.

As a Scot who watched the 'troubles' on the news week after week, year after year, I respectfully disagree. Many Scots I believe felt that the Irish had the courage to do what we did not: to take the matter into our own hands. Tho

Have you read any of Marks' books? I know they only tell his side of the story, but the type is there on the page to be scrutinized. He was genuinely approached by MI6 to offer/collect intel, he may have hammed it up in court for

It's also the manner in which it is done. About 5 years ago I asked a (dumb) question, I had no idea how to ask the "right" question and was closed down and told "this isn't your personal code writing service".

But there's a risk I'll become stuck in an infinite loop of writing shit! this should never happen shit! this should never happen shit! ... and so on. Still it would be a change from writing bad code.

Exactly, if they (Gallup?) had decided that Rage Against the Machine's Killing IN the Name Of could not be UK Christmas Nr1 it would have been even sillier. As it was it was just the right amount of protest and respect from both sides.
