It's disappointing that nobody seems to support what Julian Assange was trying to do with wikileaks. This Swedish rape accusation bullshit is a distraction and a smear campaign. I was hoping for more insightful comments from HN.

Because "Drapache" makes sense (kind of, it's a portmanteau of Dropbox and Apache); "mod_depeche" doesn't makes any sense. I really don't understand that name at all.

It's sad that the trade off is between dirty coal and natural gas. Energy policy (and the corrupt subsidies) are so short-sighted. In 5-10 years, Europe will have moved a small but significant chunk of their powergrids to renewable energy

Now, it seems pretty reasonable to assume that if Marketly is sending a takedown to Google to get such a link taken out of its search engine, on behalf of Microsoft, that it quite likely is issuing the same kind of takedown to Microsoft's

Wow, Opera over Safari even? It's obvious who Facebook feels is their competition now.

That doesn't work. Inventors on Kickstarter need that initial money to create their first product. If we say "no money 'til we have the product," then the inventors will have to go somewhere else to get that seed funding. And then we're

Patenting the butchering process isn't as outrageous as Slate claims; there are already numerous patents related to the machinery of meat production. Why wouldn't there be? Meat production plants are factories akin to hundreds of other in

Maybe this is a joke and I'm taking it too seriously, but doesn't the Enterprise run on antimatter? I don't think we're going to be able to manufacture antimatter in large quantities in the next 20 years.

Who cares? When you order from a menu, are you concerned about what percentages went to labor vs. food costs? I usually just pick that which seems healthy and delicious and which costs less a certain price I set for the meal. The only va

Of all these functions you list, why does the customer need to be involved? These could all be abstracted away from the user. If servers were paid more (and tipping were no longer required), people could still tip on top of that. This sti

Those knobs are really hard to control with the mouse. Can anyone find a resource that explains what each control changes?

So Android's fragmentation problem isn't that bad for developers if they're used to working on an even worse platform (web developing)? That's a terrible argument. There is always something worse. That doesn't mean Android is any less fr
