I don't think Theo would be too happy about your calling OpenBSD a truculent OS...

More evidence of terrible mainstream scientific reporting. For some reason, bloggers love to blow every achievement and finding completely out of proportion. quantum computing breakthrough ==> scientists invent lightsaber new photograph

Patriarchy is a system wherein women are not predominant. Misogyny is a system wherein women are subject to mistreatment. Note that I am not advocating either system, and am an ardent feminist.

There's a world of difference between patriarchy and misogyny.

Don't ever download warez. FLACs and movies, fine. Go nuts. But never, EVER, EVER try your luck with cracked software. It's not worth it.

I've been a believer in the Surface concept since the beginning. I'd bought a Surface 2 last year and was blown away by just how unique and incredibly inventive the design was. The 16:9 screen and the lack of power really suffered

It's amazing how crappy Google results are nowadays. It's all Buzzfeed, Crackle, Mashable, Y!A, WikiHow, eHow, and other garbage results akin to those garbage sites. True information like you'd find on MeFi or some of the mor

Fairly link-baity title, but honestly even if Google ends up doing this it's not surprising. They don't make money from devices or software; their primary revenue stream stems from advertising. They are, first and foremost, an adv

I think it's because the author of the site places that as an extremely high priority, when configuring your OS is actually something that depends completely on the individual's tastes and preferences.

There is so much misinformation here. I hate to rag on a Show HN, but stuff like this > Setup your computer to code like a pro. The freshest > developers have the best configured computers just rubs me the wrong way. Being a

Well, no. I'm not that close. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a job; one of his pages mentioned he only lives on disability.

I always die a little inside reading this guy's stuff because it's so easy to see how brilliant he is, and how much schizophrenia is affecting his talent. The worst part is that even he wants to "break out of [his] prison,&qu

The gas comment and upsetting of irregularity might seem humorous to the author, but as a biologist and the child of two physicians (one being a gastroenterologist), this seems very disconcerting. Certain foods that contain disproportionate

My frustration doesn't stem from the FSF's stubbornness; my frustration stems from the fact that they don't realize how it's holding free software back. The EFF has been very successful at accomplishing their goals becau

Looks like the "thermal core" of the Mac Pro. Or Darth Vader's breathing piece. Or a sharp, fanged trapezoid with extremely menacing eyes. Or a pair of underpants. The old logo was decent, but yes, it did look too much like B

I actually think it's a subtle admission that it's impossible to gain any significant amount of revenue by "selling" free software. I love the open-source/libre philosophy but it's not viable for a business. I

The only thing Beats headphones have going for them is their looks (which IMO is average at best). Headphones are appliances, not complex gadgetry. Beats are poorly designed and built appliances. Most that buy them don't know any bette

Although I too switched away from OS X, this is irrelevant. The point of the story is not about Apple's idiosyncracies. It's about a man whose story is fragmented. It's about a man who was intriguing, cryptic, and unpredictab

This is absurd. I've been following the news for over a week. I still don't understand the outrage. Heck, I doubt Mozilla even did, because Eich posted a reassuring statement and people still aren't happy. Besides, he never s
