I know this will probably initiate a huge debate but I'm not personally convinced that what Bradley Manning released and what Snowden released is equivalent in scope. In the case of Snowden the documents seem much more targeted to expo

There has been some recent changes around this situation such as Microsoft now implementing WebGL in IE11 which means they are starting to loose some of their stronghold on the graphic api world.

I don't think the majority of the complaints with NSA surveillance is about publicly available information. The issue is with information that they assume is private such as emails, im conversation, call records etc...

I don't believe they need backdoors, they probably just ask for the data and it's provided to them by those companies to comply with the current laws (or at least their interpretation of it.) I'm pretty sure dropbox can reverse any encrypti

I bet a lot of people on HN don't even make 30K a year. It's a little weird to be assuming that everyone here is working in Silicon Valley making 100K+. Particularly for a site dedicated to early stage startups and tech and the philosophy o

I was under the impression and correct me if I'm wrong that the French revolution was much inspired by the American revolution.

Sure but do you want scientist to go around looking for money all the time or doing research? Like I said it's not perfect but doing a kickstarter type experiment to fund science research (a worthy idea) will probably not have a better succ

Government is much more efficient at distributing capital like this than having scientists, who are not marketing experts or salesmen/ running around asking for money. The government agencies that have the mandate to fund research do the wo

"Do not use VPNs if you do not want to be flagged or blocked." I hope that was sarcastic. I do understand that legitimate VPN users are probably a small percentage of Paypal total user base and that a large portion of frauders use VPN (I do

"an acre being the amount of land you could plow in a day" isn't that an extremely subjective way to measure something? And to almost everyone even modern farmer is that actually a good basis considering a modern farmer can most likely plow

Not sure if they should fire this guy for being dishonest about calling other people work his own or promote him since he clearly seems to be able to get work done through overseas consultancy and get ROI from the money from his salary for

No one is denying that he did download those documents. What is mostly likely getting you downvoted is your assumption that his acts are felonies and that he would have been found guilty. That is debatable and why it would require a trial.

I think it's more that they felt obligated to register it to protect their trademark than them actually wanting to use it.

I think they should see if they can release a strip down demo version of windows. No frills or anything just the basic required functionality with clear path for upgrading. That version should be able to work on WinXP level hardware and be

Sorry but I'm not buying that. I can see that squares with rounded corners are everywhere in apple's design. I don't think that comes from the Cube. It was just a result of this love for the rounded corner square.

That's very interesting. I wonder if Apple and LG ever got an agreement on the name. Was LG's tablet ever released to the public?

Using CSRF token should protect against that and is good practice.

This sounds too good to be true. But if it's true I'll submit to the trials ;p Does anyone have more details and could comment on the validity?

But in this case un-hackacble meant, unable to add ram which if the slots are there are not in anyway against the manufacturers intent. Now the new macbooks, if someone figured a way to add ram, it would be considered a hack.

by nkassis 14y ago
Yeah it's always has been cheaper to buy the ram separately from Apple who seriously overcharges for it. I guess they just closed that "loophole" in their scheme. I'm concerned about the battery. Those things don't last as long as they are

I don't think so because you have to remember that there was a lot of other companies at the time working in the same space. Just an example would be Commodore that was actually much more successful in the 80s than Apple. There were many ot

They could always allow you to mute sites by default. You see to be overly optimistic that they are doing it for the users good.

Yeah Larry came out pretty good in that interview. But it was a different time for sure. (Mid 90s right?) I think in the end greed surpass his ability to implement his vision.

I'll just add my agreement to Rocksmith. I've found it to be a lot of fun aside from the learning aspect. It's a fun game albeit with a quirky interface. The fact that it lets you plug in your real guitar is definitively nice. It handles be

this is an important distinction. Everything on the web is copyrighted and you can't just go and grab images/html/css/javascript without permission from the copyright holder. And view source isn't going to show you much when looking at site

I definitively don't think it displaces creativity. I think it actually improves it in a sense. Hones creativity and makes it sharper. And as you said it makes it easier to communicate ideas more clearly. Definitively something important fo

"I wouldn't say that people should always totally be logical." Oh no, I didn't mean to imply that. What I meant is I believe it's a skill everyone should have, using it or not is a situation based thing. I believe learning to program is a g
