What about a different meaning of scroll, like making a side-scrolling game and calling it scroll.

Not really directly in my view. People usually first decide if they want an iPhone/Blackberry/Android/WinP7 device then they pick the model. So no I agree with the poster above. I don't think it's a really direct competition on the same lev

I'm wasn't too impress by Moodle for having used it. I also used Blackboard at my first Uni and while moodle is a step up, there definitely is some work to do. On the admin side I don't think it's any easier to manage than Blackboard. Also

Yeah I like the setup for the ML class better. You can easily make 100 in the class and all that counts is learning the material which I find much better system. And by letting you redo the assignment they get to actually see if it takes so

After the first week of the AI and Machine Language class I'm truly impressed. I feel I'll be putting more effort into this than most of my classes in college simply due to the metrics and ease of UI for the in video question. Now they shou

Go find a copy of Thinking in C++ by bruce eckel. He has a free version of it online (also volume two about the standard library). The book is getting old but I still find it valuable and he builds up from C and teaches a whole lot more of

Check out Crypto by Steven Levy for an example of large gov agencies like the FBI/NSA influencing the government. In the 90s there was a big push for crypto and the government was afraid that it would loose all ability to obtain unencrypted

Is the adobe demo playable by the public? I was under the impression that they showed a video but I can't find a way to actually try it. Until then Adobe still has to fix all the issues that the browser vendors are working on. We will have

Yeah there are much better ways to optimize this, check out http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2011/05/08/enhancing-molec... This technique should work for WebGL too.

Is Paypal considered a bank and subject to similar regulation? I find that they seem to be getting away with a lot of things that wouldn't be acceptable with other financial institutions.

Well if you ever printed from OSX then you used CUPS which is a GNU tool. The shell is filled with them, if you ever used bash you used a GNU tool. You might say I never used that stuff directly but GNU libraries, shell scripts etc... are b

Not going to deny he's a jackass (maybe I'd call it antisocial) but you should give him more credit for the technical work he's provided. People often downplay his technical contributions because he hasn't made many of them more recently bu

I don't even think it's really possible to avoid it all, GNU libraries/compilers/... are used by pretty much everything that's not on Windows platform. You'd basically have to write all your software yourself.

While I am with you about finding RMS action here despicable, the comment you upvoted was not appropriate for HN. As I have no doubt RMS would have told Jobs what he thought directly as he has done this in the past with many people. I remem

If they'd just remove the circumvention device part from the new bill it wouldn't be so bad. But That thing never expires so even if the copyright does you still can't break them. That's infinite copyright in disguise.

Well if you want to move to Canada, their office in Montreal is on top of a restaurant/microbrewery( http://les3brasseurs.ca/ ) that brews it's own beer on site. I've always wondered if they built a tap that goes to the restaurant.

I have to say this is a big one for me. It gives a lot more freedom and it's one less thing to stress about.

I'm trying to understand, google hasn't enabled native client on chromeos yet? And the chrome extension allows you to enable it for a specific site? Is that possible for any developer to do? That could be useful for a use case I have.

7.5 hours of continuous video playback is pretty good I think. And for my average reading time per day, it's plenty. You will have to recharge this thing daily but whatever. I already do that with my phone.
