Wouldn't it be nice if Lodsys got out of the patent troll game, and into using it's lawyers to fight for net-profit-residuals for people who worked on films that earned huge profits over time? Wouldn't it be nice.

So is it Dash or Dart? It was referred to as Dart earlier in the week when someon linked the conf that Lars Bak / Gilad Bracha (spelling) would be revealing all at. I'm confused now.

Ahh you're right, classic me, I just parsed the headline and assumed it was the whole company, not just the mobile division.

A consumer level GTX 590 is almost twice as powerful as a Tesla card (It's 2x gtx 580s in on-card sli), and the retail price? For a 590 you're looking at about $800 aud, a tesla is upwards of $4000.

Like others, I question whether this guy actually works for Facebook, but the "all your profile are belong to us." has done it's damage, because while perhaps you don't work there, it's highlighting a culture I know to be there. You're more

The only real advice he can give is "talk to a lawyer", just the same as advice you'd give to someone complaining of health issues with "talk to a doctor", whether you're a doctor or not doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with him looking

yeah, Andromeda, Orion Nebula, SMC, LMC, all stand out so clearly I'm really tempted to buy the 120"x30" print, I feel like the guy should be compensated for this epic task. Problem is I'd then need to find a 3 meter wall to mount the pictu

The timing of this post is amazing. I'm by no means a prolific commenter on HN. If I have something of value to add I'll try to ask; otherwise I usually abstain (but I'm only human, made a few dumb comments) I just saw another article, htt

I guess you'd be happy to break up asbestos sheeting with no breathing apparatus then? Or participate in loose-fibre insulation removal, again with no protection? We'll check in with you in 20 years and see how you're going.

My biggest concern with this guys method is he simply glosses over exercise. I agree with him that exercising for weight loss is a _lot_ harder than simply not eating shit/unhealthy food (or excess amounts of healthy food) However going int

I have to use both Eclipse and VS2k3/VS2k8/VS2k10 on a daily basis. Sure, eclipse has better refactorings. I would also argue that it's References/Declarations search features are better than the VS equivelents. But that is the only two fea

I think it's pretty cool that they had cameras capable of recording at 500 frames per second back then. Then again they had enough technology and smart people to actually put men on the moon, so a 500 fps camera would have been a walk in th
