Maybe, but the problem was that "all lexing/parsing/syntax highlighting/analysis of the language is much harder because of this horrible choice". Using quotes doesn't really fix that.

Because people don't know what "heisenberg debugging" (or whatever you use) is? After all, your primary objective is not to be original, but to be understood.

According to wikipedia, he was worth 6,5 billion. So probably the $60 million just didn't matter to him so much.

Perhaps he thinks it's better to make sure that everyone is clear of the direction and committed to it rather than (potentially) wasting hundreds of thousands of hours of work on useless platforms.

Some of us still prefer having a qwerty keyboard. At least I wont be buying another phone without one.

Nokia has always had their logo on the front. It's part of their brand.

No. I was referring to messages by lwhi and nitrogen. As nitrogen said, there are less invasive options to contact them than colonization and there are cases where it is beneficial to the (in some ways) less advanced civilization. It might

So how about Japan for example? Do you think contact with the west was bad for them?

Do you have the latest Maemo version? It made it a lot faster.

He spoke about a situation where the customer hasn't heard of you (DuckDuckGo in this case).

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but the second paragraph doesn't seem quite right: > They can refuse to accept the chip back, ..., or they can ... not accept the chip. So do they accept those chips or not?

But at least I couldn't quickly find any info about what it is (by looking through the page). There really should be a link "What is a WakeMate?".

It is.

He said "Lady Gaga's approach to clothing seems like hacking to me.". There no mention about music and whether it's conventional or not is irrelevant. I can eat food conventionally (without using six chopsticks) and still be a hacker.

What does Julian Assange have to do with this? I didn't see any mention of him or wikileaks in the article.

But then they would have to write the office suite from scratch (unless there is some open source browser based office suite available?).

Maybe or maybe not, but that doesn't matter. They already sell computers and have lots of customers who want to buy them. I don't know much about business, but I would still have to say that it sounds just stupid to suddenly stop selling th

That still doesn't explain why it would be in a message from someone who wouldn't use a smiley in the first place.

Why is he "going" from MS and not "coming" to Nokia? Do you believe he wont be as good exec for Nokia as he was for MS?

I think he meant that it should have been prematurely optimized so that it could have handled the traffic from hn and there would never have been any problems with performance.

Castling is pretty important move in chess. You can hardly claim an implementation to be fully working without it (although it wasn't the author claiming that).

Actually you can't (not in this case at least). Microsoft promised to support ie6 until april 2014, so they can't apply the argument after that. And ie6 -> ie8 (-> ie10) step is probably about as big as ie6 -> ie10. That said, I

What model are you using? My n900 takes about 1 minute to boot, has never (during the last 6 months) crashed or dropped a call (that's probably more of a network problem anyway) and the back cover is the only part that even can be taken off
