I've been wanting something like this for ages - particularly to print ebooks and latex stuff with their huge side-margins. The basic aim is to trim all margins and print 2 pages side-by-side (landscape). While Briss trims the margins just

What's the appeal of coffee-stains on documents? Anyone care to explain?

Thanks, but i was looking at something simple and more of a sketchpad clone. Its surprising that there aren't such software even 40 years later.

Why is this blog even allowed on HN? Most of the posts submitted seem to be written by steve jobs himself, or whatever jobs wants to hear. Can anything come closer to an advertisement?

The internet is older than the Apple II. Apart from GPS and FMRI, i dont agree that the other consumer-products are revolutionary at all. CDs are notoriously unreliable data storage mechanism which are already obselete; laser printers haven

OK look at this way. A cheap desktop CPU(4G RAM) costs > 200$. Say 4 VM instances on it (i really am not sure if that can give good performance).Electricity cost for this is 3c/hr. Bandwidth extra - say 1c/hr. Cooling is 3c/hr too. S

Even with virtualization - how many virtual instances can you possibly fit on a single blade server to give reasonable performance? I'm guessing 4 to 8? A quick calculation shows that electricity costs for a 200W machine is 3 cents. Coolin

So, who is apple going to blame for 'stealing' this one?
73.
by kraemate 16y ago
The whole point is that apple is capable enough of engineering such an incident. And that whiner has no right to complain after being part of apple's insidious plans.

I dont understand why people are blaming gizmodo and siding with the guy who lost his phone. He works for a corporation notorious for secrecy and 'leaking' product info through such underhand means for generating hype. Employees of 3-letter

IIRC apple is one of the primary contributors to the Clang project, yes? I wonder what motives they could possibly have for being so interested in compilers. Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but is it possible that apple could impose a

Dupe. I really dont think this deserves a repost. Was on the front page just some months ago.

How is this different or superior to languages like Objective-C and C++ ? Both provide C like syntax and have similar features as the system described here.

True, Haskell isn't a lisp clone. But it is functional nevertheless. More 'purely' functional too. So why do people, who have ignored functional programming in lisp for all these years suddenly taken to lisp? Is they Hype-field around Hask

Yeah, i dont hear people blaming civil engineers because all the bridges that they build collapse spontaneously or which need to be replaced every 6 months or which work only with 5 wheel cars. 'Computer Science' is going backwards fast, a

Oh please, apple is the worst file-system designer on the planet. HFS, HFS+ and what not. Wastes tonnes of space (space allocation+journalling) and i'd rather use FAT, atleast it is compatible with other operating systems. Apple should stic

Am i the only one who likes lisp because of the parenthesis and the lack of syntax? The parens are the perfect way of representing the syntax trees, and you dont have to be bothered with remembering all the syntax and operators etc like wit
