I posted this on the White House "Contact Us" webpage: "I received notice on a technology message board that CISPA is being reintroduced with an executive order. The previous bill, which was shot down a few years ago, would have infringed u

Doesn't matter if it's signed code. I still turned off Secure Boot on my T430. It is rare that I have ever gotten malware, much less any that execute code at boot. Boot-sector virii died off in the late 90s. Make no doubt about it; this is

Great. First pesticides, and now this. No thanks, I don't want to breathe in atomized droplets of highly corrosive acid. I'd rather die from excessive global heat than live with the unknown ramifications of injecting the earth with acid. Th

It may not be much of a boost in performance, but RTOS systems do enhance stability. First off, there are no memory leaks, so the performance of the phone won't degrade over time requiring a reboot as is often the case with my Nexus 4. The

Real time task scheduling, a much better keyboard, an excellent multitasking UI, full push email support, a better web browser and better benchmarks, to name a few. The reasons I listed above are directed at BB's biggest userbase: businesse

Well, if the incentive is there (I haven't researched much into the SDK yet), I'll develop for BB10. I really see the potential here and how this OS can really make an impact on the mobile landscape. I hope other developers will share the s

Did you even read the review? This isn't related AT ALL to the old OS7 Bold or any other Blackberry line, which were awful. BB10 can do much more than an iPhone and be just as productive while providing a rich media experience.

Lovely. This is really the first true smartphone OS since webOS that I'm actually excited for. The gestures are a little worrisome, however, with a 4-inch display. I have small hands, and it seems the gestures would require use of two hands

Why didn't they just jump to KDE 5? KDE 4.10 is a confusing name, because in standard decimal format it would look like KDE 4.1... This looks very nice. KDE is the most polished desktop environment currently out there for Linux/BSD/illumos,

To the author: clap clap* Beautiful. It's a shame great stuff like this falls through the cracks on HN. I really do not know what to say, except that your story was very inspiring and I wish you the best with the future. I'm sorry about yo

That depends on the cause... What are you trying to prove? My original comment was tongue-in-cheek. I am not going to donate any money to a (questionable) organization that's not going to publish what it is going to do with it. I'd rather s

But most of the Android games are optimized for mobile and touch. It's like having a 400K sportscar with a 55mph speed limiter. The capability is there, but then there's nothing that really takes advantage of it. What value would developers

Nice, but does it have the cojones to keep up with Microsoft and Sony? Doubtful. I think this will be a niche console for geeks, because of one reason: Content. It's a vicious cycle. With no content, customers won't want it, and with no cus

Okay, the Ubuntu thing is really out-of-hand at this point. It really is not that big of a deal. One terminal command and they're gone. Seriously, Canonical is a company, and they have to pay their bills like the rest of us. The Amazon sear

So, first you make a big stink about people talking about the guy while not knowing about him, and then you go on to make at least 5 or more assumptions about him after you clearly admit that you did not know him well, if at all. Hypocrisy

But aren't the graphics drivers supplied by Intel or nVidia, not HP? Whenever I've had to download a graphics driver update it has always been from the manufacturer of the chip. I don't think HP is to blame for that...

I think it would be really cool to see RISC have a resurgence on desktops in the form of 64-bit ARM chips. ARM technology is getting better and better every day. One of these days x86-64 is going to be antiquated, and by then, imagine the p

Wow, that is the first time I've ever heard anyone talk about a RISC processor in about 8 years. I don't know what was wrong with your computers, but I've owned 4 HP notebooks, and all have performed spectacularly. They're built solidly and

"I miss the days when men were men and wrote their own device drivers." -- Linus Torvalds Enough of that. Because Windows 8 uses the same kernel as Windows 7 (and Vista) with a minor .x upgrade, you should just use the 7 drivers, as they'll

I don't see really how skeuomorphism is a bad thing. If you make things too alien in any sort of UI, it can throw off many users, sometimes even advanced ones. The thing that I don't believe many people realize is that skeuomorphism has bee

While I admit I have a problem with focus, I have been able to control it with self-discipline. Others may not be so lucky. There's a marked difference between actual ADHD and just normal fidgetiness or lack of focus. For years, psychologis

Yet again, Facebook throws privacy to the wind and decides to reintroduce potentially infringing features without any sort of warning or notice. This is getting ridiculous. I think it's time for me to close my Facebook account. Again.

Whenever I see something like this, I used to furiously bang away at the keyboard and type a lengthy, long rant, but now I don't even bother. It's become all too commonplace that I just hang my head in shame and grow depressed to see my fel

Up until 10.6, actually, Apple used to produce very good, generally bug-free software. Starting with 10.7, they've begun to rush their software just because they have, say, 4 new "features". The yearly release cycle is partly to blame, but

Hilarious. I pranked my friend with this, and now he's pissed. Oh well, it was certainly worth it. Interesting, though, what exactly causes this bug. It seems as if the built-in spellcheck seems to misinterpret the string "file:///" as some
