Checking on the App Store ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tap-fish-2/id443891725?mt=8 ), you can buy less than $99 worth of "FishBucks". Most in-app purchases are between $1 and $10. It's just a freemium as any other. You can disable in-ap

Hello! Considering you're new here, you should know that HN's ranking algorithm is pretty biased against submission with text. You would have a better chance at arriving on the front page with a single link, e.g. to you blog. (And not being

The app is very nice looking, and already packs quite a good amount of features. Special mention to the import from iTunes (although not playlists?), global hotkeys, visualisation of most played stuff, Growl integration... The monitored fol

Couldn't some homebrew software enable carrier unlocking? I don't know about rooted Androids, but jailbroken iPhones can be unlocked.

I'd wager Clojure and its Lispy roots is way too foreign-looking for most Java programmers. And to be honest, the functional programming paradigm is pretty hard to grasp when you've never seen it before, and requires some effort to get prof

For the ones (such as me) who went "mono-what?", a monopsony is the situation where one unique buyer buys from different sellers. It's the opposite of a monopoly, where an unique seller sells to different buyers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I was searching if the true? function existed in Scheme yesterday, which ended up very frustratingly: true? scheme Redirects to a search for "true scheme". +true? scheme Gives exactly the same results, but tells me that the '+

I don't always spot things that look like memes on HN... But when I do, I don't really understand what's going on.

I think this is a way to show the author isn't pulling a bait-and-switch or just interested in taking your money. If you're not happy, you can have your money back, period. There is a certain level of trust involved, because there is indeed

I am at the moment working with a guy whose job is to digitalise old (usually amateur) movies filmed on 8mm and 16mm reels. It's a bit of a shame to see these go, because the quality of 50-yo footage is quite incredible, even without any po

Well, you don't address the post content but attack the writer directly, also implying that he's a child or a foreign small girl (why "non-American" by the way? Do American women have bigger hands?), which is not really good form.

If I were to attack someone with such a scheme, I would take care of serving clean files to a web browser (say, with the user-agent string) and the infected files to command-line invocations. :)

JoachimSchipper is right that it doesn't have to involve cookies, and so are you that IP addresses aren't enough. Facebook could be using the same methods as Panopticlick ( http://panopticlick.eff.org/ ), which are incredibly effective assu

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this has nothing to do with the real name vs. pseudonyms issue, right? If Google knows you as LispNerd3k, living in Philadelphia, about 30yo, geeky, white, male, past searches "xorg issue fedora 15" and "sicp",
