You're incorrect here again. Byzantium retained its integrity, but Rome, the city, did collapse thanks to invasions by Germanic tribes and the Huns. So did most of Europe that was under Roman control, and some portions of North Africa

IBM uses it. I think that alone is enough for them to invest in it.

Call me a cynic, but I'm really indifferent to this entire "everyone should learn to code" nonsense. There are so many mistruths that Code.org is spreading that it's shameful. Let's get down to the biggest one: that

I'd extend this statement and say that the Moto G puts every single cheap phone to shame. Not just Android. It becomes very hard to justify a Lumia at $400 or an iPhone 4S at a ludicrous $450 when we have a flagship Nexus at $350 and

Google: "Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela: 1918-2013" on homepage. Reaction: Little fanfare. Apple: "Nelson Mandela: 1918-2013" on homepage with b/w photo. Reaction: OH MY GOD. APPLE IS NOW HONORING A HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST

In other words, Gandhi should be shunned because he was a sleazy lawyer who was screwing his wife while his father was dying across the hall. We respect our heroes not for their flaws, but for their feats. It's no secret to anybody t

You can blame Meg Whitman for part of that.

Except for the fact that there's no mass exodus to OS X. Market-share values have remained mostly stable for the past couple of years. This is more attributable to the amount of apps developed for the Mac as more developers switch to i

This is the wrong idea of what an encrypted and secure social network should be. Networks need to be moving away from this centralized model into a system of routed nodes for a secure, encrypted peer-to-peer system. The whole point of som

I'm quite certain that most jurisdictions in the United States have some sort of laws to prevent the restriction of "clean-room" reverse-engineering... which is why projects like GNU and BSD were even possible to begin with.

Bullshit. Pulling CM from the Play Store is something Google is entitled to do as per their ToS. They didn't pull it because they wanted to drive away competition; they pulled it because CM was harming people's devices. I am by no

Well, he did call _why a dick (which is just a no in my book), but when all is said and done I think this is irrelevant. He's giving a guy in need a hand, and I think we should all look up to Zed for it.

Does the jury for a highly specialized patent case exist and function in largely the same way as a jury for other trials? Namely, "peers" instead of educated individuals on the particular topic at hand? If that's the case, th

Let's just hope this doesn't get renamed to "Revisions" by some misanthropic, overzealous HN invisimod.

You're overblowing things. All of this madness has really taken place after Schmidt left, because up until '10 or so, Google kind of still embraced the "don't be evil" philosophy.

That's not why I submitted it though. The point of this article was to show that misleading things about BSD are all over the internet. I apologize if that didn't somehow manifest itself. The original title was actually "The

It seems you misunderstood the point of this submission. BSD is absolutely not what it says in this article, hence the editorialized "apparently" in this article. (Hope the HN mods don't ban me for it :P) Don't take ever

That's odd, considering I downloaded a fresh set of Proggy just a few months ago.

Quite a few of these follow established design principles while remaining creative, quirky, and unique.

He looks just so incredibly ill, but you just have to admire his moxie for getting up on stage and doing WWDC. He was probably terminal metastatic at that point... but he never gave up. I agreed with what a lot of Jobs said, disagreed with
