Given that Microsoft has already moved to ban Linux from ARM devices at the UEFI level, it seems like they believe strongly that ARM is going to be an important battleground for them: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2012/01/16/microsoft-

Yes, it works for free users now - at least it worked for me (I have since gotten an account.) I was using the Windows client via Wine, which worked surprisingly well until an update killed it a few months ago. During the same update, howev

If that's the case, it's been true since 1am this morning. I wonder if it's on the site's side. I have a feeling it is.

Same here. Is this a WebGL thing or something? Three people have sent this to me today so far, and the site simply doesn't seem to work at all.

It seems like there are a lot of differences of opinion on this page, aren't there? The fact that hardly anybody is ever going to say they're in favor of sexism doesn't mean there isn't any disagreement, or that there isn't anything to talk

That sort of seems to dissolve the parallel between interviews-by-committee and actual gang bangs, though.

There's a big difference between saying "it is wrong to do X" and saying "YOU are wrong because YOU'RE doing X." This article is doing the first one, isn't it?

I think it's kind of silly to argue Google v. Apple on elegance, yeah. But to my eye, Chrome really is a lot more elegant than Safari. There are a billion things Chrome does to make browsing quicker for me, not just because of raw browser

Not only that - but this notion that "you should only work on what you're passionate about" can kill projects when versatility is required. 'I'm not really passionate about doing database interoperability stuff in Java - I took this job b

I really have to say I strongly disagree with Kenneth Ballenegger's characterization at the beginning of the second paragraph of the developer who was "forced to rename his open source project." Clicking on the link provided, that's clearly

It's not a reference to a song at all. It's a reference to a meme called "feminist Ryan Gosling."

What does this do? I know because I saw the headline here on HN, but if I went to the site without context, I'd have very little idea, and I'd have to do some detective work or deductive reasoning to find out. It's mostly obvious, but I thi

It's not in the article, but in the comments on Robert Scroble's G+ post, he does indeed state that they had lenses. Which, yes, is very odd, since I can't see any lenses either.

Have Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman ever actually built their own distro at all? I seem to recall Linus saying he didn't have time for that, and he'd rather leave that task to somebody else who cares about it more. More to the point: th

What's odd to me is that Ubuntu and Gnome are both working separately on things that look remarkably similar. This is the same stuff that Gnome 3 does - pulls up applications, folders, commands, etc via a translucent overlay at the press of

This is a misunderstanding of what sexism is, I think, though it's a common one. Sexism is not about intentions. Neither is racism, for that matter. It's about the effect our actions have in the world. I can be a non-racist and say racist t

"The step after that will be glasses which will coordinate with GPS and cell location to overlay 3D imagery on the street, in malls, etc..." Is that a prediction of the forthcoming Google Glasses there, too? ;)
