If someone who knows a lot about these things has a few moments to spare, I'd love if you could answer http://www.quora.com/iOS-vs-Android/What-are-the-relative-me... on Quora.

You don't have to type in the "author:" etc bits - searches work fine without them. Also, Google Scholar uses the exact same (or possibly a very similar) syntax.

Go to http://adioso.com/search?q=A+hard+search+query in an incognito window or similar - you have to have not visited before. A bar comes up at the top of the page saying that the interface "can be a little confusing". I have no thoughts

Adioso strikes me as a company with little social sense. Asking how much I 'value' my girlfriend is just... off. And similarly, the fact their normal site actually _admits_ that it has a confusing interface and asks if you want help underst

Yes, that's true. :-) I expect this comment will be downvoted as well.

No offense again, but all of the replies to my comment are equally ludicrous. If it were digitally available, you could search and index it, text mine it, distribute it to people in poorer countries, carry it with you when you move a lot. T

No offense to Knuth, who I'm sure is a great dude, but the fact that he of all people is releasing this as a book in 2011 is totally ludicrous.

I do know where you're coming from, but SQLite, which is in the public domain, is by far the most deployed SQL implementation, and most of those deployments are by companies - big companies, even. Also, by your logic, nobody should ever hav

Sure - open source is about source-code availability, public domain is about the legal status of that source code - as free as can be.

The Unlicense - http://unlicense.org . Put your software into the public domain, forget about all legal complexity. And this way people can reuse your code in the most hassle-free way possible. Also, keep in mind - no matter which software

A good long-form news service. Because I hate poorly formatted overly-long articles surrounded by awful offensive Flash ads.

Agreed. The deeper you delve into Google's TOS, Privacy, or other legal-requirements pages, the more their corporate identity of 'fun and clear' dissolves.

Why not just remap one Shift key to a "Greek" key, which inserts the corresponding lowercase greek letter? (And then Greek+Shift+letter inserts the uppercase, obviously). That would give you quite a lot of the useful functionality without t
