Nothing about his description really does it for me except the prospect of being able to play Skyrim on my work machine when it comes out. I don't like open spaces, but being all alone in an office seems pretty horrible as well: Wouldn't yo

Yes! This is what culture and creativity is. How can we grow as a society when we cannot comment and build on the culture we live in?

I do think this is fraudulent, and I think the comparison falls down: A customer buying the 20$ dropbox account knows exactly what he is spending his extra 10$ to get, and it is worth it to him to do so. Even if objectively, 10$ may seem li

Perhaps it's that people who bought the more expensive model thought they were buying higher quality components, but now realise they paid to have a piece of foam not be put where a piece of foam should not be? That consumers in general are

Here's my theory: I think the key is that he, just like Jobs, is a leader who feels strongly about the product. There are lots of stories about how people would dread presenting ideas to Gates because he'd be brutally honest with how he fel

This is the script, btw: https://github.com/krig/dotemacs/blob/1460ad50750f305ff4b1bf... It needs rgb.txt from the vim source, untabified. It doesn't understand cterm codes, so console themes don't look good. And obviously not everything

Clearly, I don't know swedish copyright law either. "Not a lawyer" is the default on the internet, right?

I don't know american copyright law, but in Sweden we have something called "verkshöjd". Meaning a work has to meet a minimal standard of creativity/originality to be considered copyrightable. I sincerely doubt this photo would meet those r

To take the topic a bit more seriously, it seems to me that having to watch crazy European porn is, perhaps, not such a big deal. The music industry often likes to say that without big money coming in, no one will make music. I don't think

I use smart-tab.el in emacs, the completion/tab handling is the most intuitive I've found. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TabCompletion#toc2 It expands if at the end of a word, and indents otherwise.

I decided to try this a few weeks ago and have kept using it since then. I'm not really using any fancy features beyond the cmd+click to open URLs, but it is fast and generally works better than Terminal.app. If all you are looking for is a

Considering a flock of blackbirds can consist of several million birds, 5000 aren't actually that many. Numbers like that are only relevant in context.

For one, the interface is a web site that isn't well-adapted to a mobile screen, so getting to the store is cumbersome in itself. Secondly, downloading an app after buying it is very slow and frustrating. It involves adding a special APT re

Impressive efforts can still come to nothing, and so far the numbers aren't favorable. I got and started developing for the N900 when it came out, because I absolutely support the effort of truly being open source that Nokia is betting on.

Somehow I get the feeling he didn't write that blurb himself. Which makes me wonder just how involved he actually is. Although I guess I shouldn't complain that he is spending all his energy on the actual story and not on the web-stuff.

Well, personally I think Starcraft is quite an interesting topic (game aside). The whole esports scene in Korea that it's given rise to, the fact that several top ranking starcraft players have gone on to become top ranking poker players. B

You're right about SC2 reducing to a game of rock/paper/scissors, just like chess is a very simple game (not to mention Go). Yes, this unit counters that unit, which counters this other unit.. but there are quite a few units in the game, an

There seems to be some studies that indicate that this is the case, even though it is a counter-intuitive finding: 1. http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2009/01/dutch-government-stu... 2. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/apr/21/study-fi

This sounds very much like the way things worked when I was working in the AAA games business as well. >90 percent of all titles are lossleaders, and the few that are hits make up for the lost money developing the others. My guess is th

Yeah, I definitely think it's a chicken-and-egg problem. In general, my experience is that the hardware that has official support in Linux works much better there than in other OS'es. Things are certainly getting better than they used to be

Oh, absolutely.. it's impossible to predict the future. But yes, looking at the current data the whole argument seems to fall apart: As far as I know, the movie industry is doing better and better each year, and I think the same is true for

I'm not going to claim that you've missed the point since I can't speak neither for the article or for you, but my take on his argument and example was different. It's not that Charlie is just straight off replacing Dancing with the Stars.

I agree with your point, but let me clarify what I mean: I don't mean to say that people are averse to paying for content they want. On the contrary, I do think most people are happy to pay what they feel is a reasonable price for things. T

The political movement is to fight legislation that would make using something like Freenet illegal. That is, it's not a fight to make your data private. It's a fight to make it legal to have private data. If I'm not incorrect, it is alread
