Oh please, stop it with the fanatics. The first version of your comment is not only incorrect but also not the type and tone of contribution appreciated on HN, and you have been here long enough to know it.

This comment originally read: ”From the guy that tried to force QuickTime on us?” , and that was the comment I was responding to. Also, the events described in your link all took place while Jobs was not at Apple.

That just means that Apple manages this list: http://www.mp4ra.org/atoms.html The file format is still an ISO standard and pretty much anything reads it. Even Apple itself doesn't use the Quicktime container anymore (a

Thank you. As long as it works, I don't care which rendering engine my browser uses, just as I don't care which libc implementation it uses. The browser is the UI, not the libraries it links to.

Fair. We are looking at different scales.

No. I don't need to discuss the other effects because everyone else is discussing those. I'm adding another point of view to the conversation, it doesn't mean I don't understand the other side.

On average, you and I eat half a chicken. I'm not the one considering one single outcome, if anything I feel like I'm the only one in these comments considering a different possible side effect of the trick.

Re-read the previous sentences then? Because you may prevent me from taking that seat without actually needing it. Sure you can but it's not nice to me.

Please re-read my last sentence.

Regulations, probably, but I also don't think you are allowed to randomly walk around the airport looking for empty seats if you don't have a ticket, and if I have a ticket I'm just going to my gate, since if I am at the airp

To be fair, I'm sure the airlines and your fellow travelers would also prefer for you to not waste a seat. I know I would be pissed if I needed to take a flight but it was fully booked, and then found out that a dozen people already

Remember that that's been written by someone who never worked at that kind of job, and then Stallman, who is even further far removed from that environment, making a generalized statement that he wants to apply to all companies and emp

Sure, let's go down that road. At the end of the day every software that runs does the same thing: flip bits back and forth.

Yup. Good job nitpicking and completely ignoring the point.

Finest HN nitpicking. Chrome on Android is missing some features from Chrome desktop (extensions, Flash, NaCl), is it not Chrome anymore?

There is no explicit way on iOS to check what other apps are installed, but they can check whether an URL scheme is supported, and from that you can infer the app is installed (not guaranteed, many apps can register the same scheme). If the

I was wondering the same, an RTG like to one on Curiosity but smaller as a backup. My only guess would be weight, but the Curiosity RTG is ~5kg of plutonium and produces 2.5kWh/day, and Philae power consumption seems to be much smaller
