Are there any suggestions for a low-energy (possibly arm) server with raid 1? I guess software raid over USB would not be very satisfying, right?

It's nginx, so it could be a (possible compiled) lua script running directly in the nginx process, would that count as being the web server itself? The message itself is rendered by your browser or rather your video driver, etc. Who yo

How can you not be very fond of the theme when the theme is not yet known? As far as i see on http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/12/08/ludum-dare-28-them... voting is still open?

Maybe because both are currently illegal in most (cocaine in all?) countries on this planet? And cannabis legalization can and should be a first step towards a legalization of all drugs, because prohibition creates more problems than it sol

Cars suck at a fundamental level too, because only a quite limited amount of people can move from "any point" to "any point". Otherwise there everyone is stuck for hours. That does not happen nearly as often with public

Wow, wheres the argument? I guess you are a very rational, thoughtful person compared to naive hippies like me, so why don't you use your skills?

As I wrote, I am open to keep delivery cars. Freight bicycles are also a good possibility for a lot's of stuff, but that's not my main point. My main point would be that cars do suck as a mean of transporting people as soon as you

That's just not true, you can't say that about all european cities. Vienna has excellent public transport for example.

Cars are convenient for an individual, but that is because you do out-source most of the negative aspects of them to the society around you. Just image how green, quiet and open streets (the space between buildings) could be without cars or

I think bugzilla, mailinglists and irc channels might be better places to request a feature request than a comment on hacker news.

I think getting to a decent understanding of German should not be too hard, but some nuances are. Even some native speakers struggle with parts of the grammar, like dass/das, dativ/genetiv, etc. I am a native German speaker who le

Then you just need a keyboard with pulls the right buttons down while you are napping with your hands on said keyboard.

It's easy, the trick is to learn it as your first language ;)

They point is not so much a correction of grammar, but a correction of the wrong implicit assumption that a person who writes about osdev has to be male. Its no drama if it happens once, but as said in this thread it happened several times

The nice thing about android is that you don't have to care what Google and your your Provider do in many cases, because the "jailbreak" is official: You can install CyanogenMod or even Replicant.

Yes, I don't see it as completely pointless either, it's just a question about priorities for me (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6848177 )

It's funny that this is your reason to use an iPhone because a quite similar experience of mine was a main reason for my decision to stay away as much as possible from closed systems :)

"because we can" is obviously a very legitimate reason for something like a jailbreak :) But I am not sure if it answers my question completely, because we are talking about a site which a collects money because it seems like we c

Serious question: Why bother? Why is there such an interest in using a very closed system in a way the vendor does not support if there are (more) open alternatives? Is it because you are forced to use an iPhone by external factors, like yo

Yes, it works even with "Why is my brain..." And maybe some things are fast enough, but nobody searches for "why is my computer fast enough" or "why is my brain too fast"

Why not: Buy $8 DVD and a "free drone" using a stolen credit card? That works today and even from outside the us, right?

Well done. In my opinion, the entry levels are a bit too easy. I finished "fastest" and died for the first time in "hardest". Until then it is mostly sufficient to look at the namespace.
