So much ssh for native IPv6. That could only mean we - few tech people - are more concerned about using it. In the future, with dual stack, I hope people will use IPv6 without knowing it. Maybe someday we will think about IPv4 the way we se

The idea of the video was to remove Earth rotation from the view. This removal was digitally made. One of the original videos used in this compilation - with the traditional "sky is moving" feeling - is this one: http://vimeo.com/22439234

I guess you're talking about the "no vote count" change. Thanks for this. I've been wondering what was used to make HN for some time.

One must remember that there can be a difference between an argument that is logical and one that is simply persuasive, although they can be one and the same. I agree that we can use some persuasive-only arguments - that is: some type of

Conclusion: In the 13 countries McKinsey studied, the Internet has contributed on average 3.4 percent to GDP, weighting more than agriculture, energy, and other better-established industries, and it adds considerable vigor to economic growt

Yes. It dates back to 2008. Interesting that someone got bugged by it that time and just now it took this dimension.

A bunch of Portuguese words seems to follow a pattern with a big rise on 2008 and a huge drop following. Looks like something was wrong with the data. http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=suporte&t=weekl... I searched: suporte, ca

It seems that locals at Berlin are not keen on taking photos of their own city. What's that area center-right in SF that apparently no tourist likes to go?

A system to reward the photo taker would be nice. In one minute, photo is taken and published. It sould take no more than another minute for news companies use the photo by paying a small standard fee to the person who made it available. It

Very neat idea. Kung Fu + AI + Vision Computing. There might be a chance that it could be played only with a PC and a Webcam, like the flash game Motion Bubbles, I guess.

Is Morse Code really a puzzle? That's the first thing I think when I see dots and dashes, specially if there are "..." or "---".

Yes... That's exactly where I ended too. The main page of the site, http://www.dca.med.ualberta.ca/ , still points to the 2007 research/article. Maybe they didn't want to break the optimism.

I also noticed the 2007 reference. However, further checking the Univesity site on News & Updates, one will find that it went further to Clinical Trials and a new article in 2010 shows interesting results for glioblastoma (a type of can

I like the idea of having a single ID for Internet. It reduces the burden of creating accounts everywhere. The ID could be used in any site that would like a non anonymous comment or activity. A request for ID info could pop-up for an accep

Maybe your competitor will be join.me. Do you know how it compares to them? I created an account. It's a very neat interface. I'll try to use it in a meeting soon.

I worked at Nortel between 2000 and 2004. It was a great company. Their equipment for Frame Relay / ATM networks - called Passport - was really nice. It's amazing that we still can find their devices for X.25 networks (DPN) and a lot os com

If they focus on market share coverage, I think they will maintain Skype for Linux the same way there is skype for other OSs (including mobile). At the end of the day, revenues are made through the paid subscriptions. The software is more a

I usually relax after I did something relevant in the day, doesn't matter if it's in the first hours of work. At this point, the feeling of "mission complete" makes me loose focus and use the following hours to do non work related stuff. On
