Facebook's naming policy hasn't stopped me from making up comical fake names for testing. It's pretty absurd to think that any developer is going to make test posts from their app/project/whatever to their real Facebook account (not that I

I see the license is both GPLv2 and proprietary for commercial use. I was unaware that licensing could be done that way. Is that a valid use of GPL?

It can't. All modern chips have thermal protection. It'll just throttle down if it gets too hot.

Careful! You're openly talking about "Th3 Pir4t3 B4Y"! If someone looked up the site mentioned in your comment, they might infringe, and you've contributed. Giving the name of the place to find pirated material is a very short jump from a

Maybe all the buzz about Pinterest is because so many people think that finding an image online makes it publicly redistributable. "Pinning" is just another way of sharing. I get the impression that there's much wider public acceptance of s

I've always wondered why there isn't a crowdsourcing entity that pays out rewards for finding infringement (patent, copyright, whatever).

But all these devices are useless after 2 or 3 years anyway... why would anyone care about scratching up the metal a bit? These aren't collectors items.

It might be a question of how much money they would lose by not doing it. SOPA enforcement would be insanely expensive for a site with as much user generated/linked content as Facebook.

I can't decide if I'm more offended that it's so corrupt or that the price is so cheap.

I block all ads, so I often don't realize when a site is being evil. Those kind of ads sound pretty bad for Y Combinator's image, I wonder why it's being allowed.

Not in the practical "you've got a virus" sense, but if I have a suspicious file I want to scan, it gets good detection there. I think it's mainly used on mail servers. For scanning tiny individual files, http://www.virustotal.com/ is the

Why is fear not a sensible response? Demonstrators are being assaulted, I don't want to be assaulted, therefore I should not demonstrate. Fear seems like a productive emotion to me. Fear is what keeps you safe.

There is a strong need to keep a very public list of every host that is blocked in this way, so we can keep track of what's being censored. Has anyone set up a wiki or something similar for this purpose yet?

It's really useful to be able to remain calm and focused, especially if that's not part of your normal personality. These drugs aren't permanent by any stretch, they barely last 8 hours, so it's not likely to do much damage to your sense o

I was watching the stream and my jaw dropped when I heard Oyama make the reference to Wikileaks. I think she was making the point that strangling the finances of "rogue" parties is very effective, and how Wikileaks was handled is a textbook
