I'm not an expert in North Sea Oil, but I expect Norway is still an net oil exporter. (I don't know whether they count as West European according to your definition.)

Since when did “don't” mean “only in moderation”?

The UK is a net oil importer now, so I don't think so.

Can you justify your title based on the article? Robert interviewed 27 psychoanalysts, three of whom later sued her, claiming they were misrepresented in the film.

Suppose the other browser engines somehow died out leaving WebKit as the only browser engine, and then WebKit was forked: we would be back to having multiple browser engines.

This, incidentally, is the reason why gay men never stop having sex... Except that gay men do stop having sex for long enough to have careers as thespians, musicians, software executives, etc ad nauseum. This undermines the whole point

It sounds to me like lots of Dropbox customers opened a single Adwords account each to run Dropbox ads, and Google mistakenly concluded that they were all the same person.

Can you clarify? Broken how? On a technical level? Usability-wise? Some other way?

Please edit the title to make clear it's Rails specific (and not about, say, /lib/ on a Linux install).

Appending to the end of the page title doesn't work, because the end of the title gets chopped off when it doesn't fit in the tab title or window title. Prepending to the start of the page title does work though.

The article is from 2009. The graph shows online ad rates halving over 2008. How much of that is a long term trend, and how much of that is because of the recession? (Though this doesn't detract from the rest of the article, which covers al

Then why did the government posthumously apologise to Turing, describing his treatment as "horrifying" and "utterly unfair"?

Even accepting what you say, having been convicted of a crime is a necessary prerequisite for receiving a pardon.

Speaking as a foreigner: 1. I think his economic/fiscal policy would be disastrous for America and therefore disastrous for the world in general, my country included. 2. I think his foreign policy overshoots in the right direction. I don't

They can't pardon David Kelly. He wasn't ever charged with anything, much less convicted, was he?

It is possible to upvote people's comments on HN. Comments are sorted according to upvotes, downvotes, and time since posting. And flags too, maybe, I suppose. Perhaps you do not have enough karma to upvote comments yet?

You could make the same argument against the masses being allowed to drive. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

"HEY. Hey you. Studies show if you don't read NevBlog.com everyday, you might die." That probably sounded really cool in the blogger's head, but to me he just comes over as an arsehole.

I expect most people don't know how to wipe and reinstall. They may not even know it's possible. Information on what to do if your PC is infected would be useful to have on this website, no? Some ISPs (e.g. BT I think) already redirect you

Really? The botnet testing site idea does not seem clueless --- it would require ISP co-operation and they urge ISP co-operation. There are privacy implications of such a service, true, but this is the stuff of politics.

The link he claims has been flagged to death with 4 points... has not been flagged to death, and has 6 upvotes. And I see an up arrow for it. Perhaps the reason there was no up arrow when Ron saw it is that he was one of the people who upvo
