Bah. I pay for the Economist, and I've paid for LWN in the past. I think a subscription model for premium content is more respectable than deceptive advertising.

You're comparing apples to oranges, kind of. What you're saying isn't necessarily reflective of Mint 12; it could just as well be Ubuntu 11.10.

Typically, when a site pulls that kind of thing, I cease to use the site. I'm not interested in buying anything, and by distracting my eyes from legitimate content with your "get a foot in the door" ads, you earn a big red X from me.

I signed up for AI and DB classes next to a 45 hour/week job, and dropped the AI course. I'm having trouble keeping up while maintaining a life, but it is possible, though! Seriously, consider only one class if you have any trouble self-reg

I wish they offered the quizzes, tests, etc. at will of the student, only unlocking further videos as the students completed tasks in order. This provides the structure of a true lecture, with additional materials, while not making me wait

Why is everyone attacking this article? So what if their reason is subjective? They want people who enjoy working on the whole stack. They have fun doing that, and that's all the reason they need. They aren't saying that "people who use the

With a uniform code of law, and a watcher for the watchers, I think private security for towns and cities can work. Look at anyone with lots of money: They're already paying for private security services (technological or human) because the

I'm not going to downvote you, I'll just correct your logic.Your parent is someone who was doing what you're doing now: calling people out on HN etiquette. The OP making fun of the tea party is the true culprit here.

It's easy to talk shit on the Internet... Obviously, I support your business idea, and I look forward to it shaking banks up a bit. If the product is strong enough, a generic brand won't kill the business. I still believe BankSimple was a b

I don't get what the confusion is. "Simple" (generic name, weak branding..) is a middle-man between banks and you. Why? -They have multiple backend banks, so I suppose that keeps you the customer from getting locked into one bank's crappy f

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'd downvote you if I could, not because I disagree with you, but because this is a strawman. The author used a low margin, low sucess business example to make a point about what mindset someone should be in to successfull

Assisted GPS Digital compass Wi-Fi Cellular I did a CTRL-F on GLONASS and no match is found. I said I did this in my edit... I'd take a screenshot, but I'm at work.

by lhnn 15y ago
I don't see a reference to GLONASS in the sub's page. Edit: It angers me that high-ranking users abuse their priviledge to downvote. I'm making a legitimate point here; I don't see "GLONASS" or any reference to alternative GPS in that page.

It's called "Fuck you money", and it means he can choose to be productive or not as he sees fit. He's not trapped to working somewhere he doesn't enjoy being. Why is this idea of being a member of society a good thing? I'm here to live my l

Ubuntu 11.10 has removed simple configurable items like font size and screensaver into a non-default tool, making them much less accessible to non-hackers. Combine this with all the usability changes in Unity (alt-tab affects all workspaces

Really, RMS being a dick keeps you from using, developing, and supporting free software? Your level of support is not that great, then.

I installed 11.10 B2 on my desktop. It definitely looks more polished (especially the login screen), but that's where the improvements end for basic usage. Unity drives me up the wall, for the most part. I could tolerate all the BS of Unity

Like I've said repeatedly, what is embarrassing is our dependence on forign nations to get to a space station largely funded and built by us. Russia is not our friend. Russia is a business partner with whom we're not at war. We should have
