One would think if this gets a decent adoption rate that they could/should offer such channels a more lucrative deal than what current providers offer. This all depends, of course, on how they can make money off this and how much.

Are there misconceptions with what a CTO actually entails? I've not heard of a CTO that does any physical programming with respect to their job. This might be different in a small startup but my understanding of a CTO's role is to guide arc

Does that mean they CANNOT notify you or its up to the discretion of the entity handing over the data? If the latter it still makes a strong case that a notification system would be used for such things if one exists for similar circumstanc

Sure. It's hard but if you are telling me there isn't enough talent in this world to sustain it given a model to work from then I would really have a hard time believing you.

According to the recent rulings you can't copyright APIs, and if that's the case, why have their not been more open source API alternatives to these ventures? I understand money would be an issue so I imagine a non-profit or open source fou

His show was on a few years back and got cancelled (which was part of the reason I was interested in the new show - because I used to watch the other one) so I imagine he understands that, while things are good, they can flip in an instant.

Opera was at 4% last time I checked. Has that changed? If not, I find it hard to believe that's the motive.

This actually got me wondering if Google has ever sued someone in the same manner and it does not appear as if they have. I find that very interesting - does anyone have any links to the contrary?

If an existing language already has potential to replace PHP then I don't see why it wouldn't have already. What would/could you tweak that would get you there without fundamentally changing the language capabilities and syntax?

This rant boils down to a tweet "If you don't like PHP then use another language or build a better one". What a revolutionary concept! That has worked wonders for languages since. Except not one has come out that is as simple as PHP thus P

I'll be curious to hear if the screen is sufficient for reading. I have an e-ink Nook currently that's starting to feel a little old but the e-ink is absolutely the best to read on. Would consider upgrading but I'm not sure if it will be a

We've never gotten there so it's an intriguing experiment regardless if you agree with it or not. 12 years ago I imagine most people thought it would be ludicrous that people would be walking around consumed in a mobile device - but that ca

It was on by default for me and I was really confused for a short period of time wondering what the heck they were trying to tell me as part of the video. It was hilarious, however.

I was looking more at the funtional differences instead of the skin which seems to be quite dramatically different from anything currently out there. Although at the moment I don't see how I would know what pinching and swiping would do at

Not for user-provided input. That's just a dumb thing to do in any language.

Blaming your problems on the person making something you are consuming is always a useless endeavor. Make a function if you are using something in hundreds of places that relies on user input. Not terribly difficult.

Because you don't have to hit escape or jj to exit out. You just let your foot off the pedal. No chance of accidentally being in edit mode or not.

What are the actual problems Microsoft is ostensibly trying to fix with a secured bootloader? Something related to viruses/hacks or something else entirely?

I find it strange, but perhaps I'm just missing some crucial, that it appears as if this update is really just app updates for ios? I do not own any ios device but I normally expect some updates to the OS itself in some capacity. Am I readi

Have they addressed the need to explain how to do something yet (getting to desktop or back to metro view)? That's really the biggest killer on any app that would theoretically be adopted by the masses.

That's what libraries are for. There are some pretty good ones for 2d (Andengine based on Box2d for instance). It saddens me that more developers are not committed to developing/extending gaming platforms and shared code, and instead portin

I personally have no particular affinity towards Louis C.K. but I can sympathize with disliking fanboyism threads on here. That being said I don't know why you attempt to equate this particular form of marketing to corporations or other non

What's unique here is the whole package - the personal touch, the cheap product, the honesty and openness. I have never seen anything equivalent on any big-name person/band on the internet. If you have specific examples please share them be

The one thing I'll have to give credit to Linus for is that even if people continue to post absurd comments after his original lengthy counterpoint, he will delve into a more polite rhetoric and continue to explain his point, over and over.

Anyone have insight into how the tool that shows variables as it passed through functions would work in an extensible "port over the language of your choice" way? Is this reliant on stack tracing/debug tools or more rudimentary methods?
