> When a raiding party from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant attacked a Saudi border post last week... This statement seems backward to me. Isn't ISIS supported by the Saudis to overthrow the Shiite government of Iraq?

Sorry, I am not a gun guy. Why a sound sensors? And is there any communication between the rocket and the launcher itself after it has been fired?

This is sad and hilarious at the same time. Well, mostly sad...

Stupid question: what kind of electronics do you need in a rocket launcher of this type?

Does a standing desk make any difference? Are there any studies done on this?

I don't really understand your comments about anti virus and antivirus+drivers (for that matter, why should QT need special hardware drivers?) Also, doesn't the existence of this project make all your points moot? http:/&#x2

Original content is great but I fear in a few years Netflix can more or less dictate what we can see on TV. And maybe Im in the vocal minority, but I prefer Friends and Seinfeld to House of Cards or Orange and OItNB.

I fully agree with what eonil wrote, but remember that environments like Unity also come with a lot of tools and samples to simplify your development.

Note that this data is by no means undisputed. It does not come from Apple and Google but from various analytics services with unclear coverage: 1. Do these numbers include ad revenue? 2. Do these numbers include music, magazine and movie s

I found the study very shallow and superficial. For example, who cares how many people have starred a project on github? And why should I care how many lines "hello world" is in a language [1]? I would rather see a discussion abou

I did not use OSX back then so I can't comment on that. But on Windows QT was probably the worst piece of software ever created: 1. it took ages to start 2. the UI was very unresponsive 3. it used a LOT of resources, bringing the syste

Being a non profit, their numbers are out there for anyone to examine. Go ahead and compare their development costs with their other costs - the board of directors in particular. (not a popular opinion on HN, so goodbye useless digital karm

Reminds me of Terry Davis of TempleOS. With that said, some people just don't work in a team but on their own they can do miracles. I wish we could start a small pateron or flattr fund for these guys and let them do whatever they want.
