Doesn't mean they are any less made up than the Church of Latter Day Saints. There may be genuine concerns but at the end of the day it was just one guy who wanted a divorce as far as I know.

I'd imagine you could just wrap your card in aluminum foil (like from the kitchen) if you don't use it very often.

I like this idea. It should also apply to people when someone else mooches on one's home wireless network to download copyrighted material.

This scares me. What can we do though? Can we decriminalize/legalize possession of anything? Perhaps just make it illegal to produce illicit materials? How would it work? Would that mean bad guys would be able to legally own weapons-gr

About the safe haven issue, I'd imagine that if there is probable cause, they can just serve me a warrant rather than serving the guard who is on duty at Fort Knox. From what I know, it is wrong to bypass me to get to my data. If my

How can Google and Microsoft comply with these requests and still claim that the emails they data held in Ireland is exempt? Moving on, what if blasphemy is illegal in another country and they (Google, Microsoft) spots someone who sent a a

New people (I am one of them as you will see if you go to my page) do not have the ability to down vote. From what I understand, the assumption is that by the time people get to the magic number (currently 500 I believe), they will have bee

ctrl + q very appropriately quits the application. If this came as a ticket to me, I'd close it as working as expected.

I really like this idea. It is a shame that H1B workers get 60k for a job that I'd take at 85k and the company's justification is that it costs them 25k to process the visa or what not. That cost should not be computed into someon

We can probably replace many instances of (s)he or he/she with a singular they. As the Wikipedia article says[1], this is not a recent phenomenon. If using he in a gender-neutral way or in gender ambiguous situations is somehow not pol

I am not related to the Gnome team in any way. These are my uninformed thoughts as a casual user: 1. I've found this confusing as well. It is frustrating. For example, when I have two terminal windows open (one root terminal window and

I love Gnome 3. I don't like that sometimes virtual machines can't handle Gnome 3 on older machines but it runs pretty well in a virtual machine in my current notebook (y510p). I don't understand the yearning for Gnome 2. Deb

This is what the grandparent is missing. Google is doing this because it exhausted all options of appeal and was forced to do this by law. I have no doubt that Google doesn't like being told what it can or cannot show in its search res

Maybe if I am in a similar position, I should demand compensation for my time. That way I'll at least get to visit friends and see scenery around Austin. I wonder if a demand for compensation (besides airfare and stuff) would fly...

Someone in another thread mentioned they have unfollowed all their friends and likes. Let's empty out our timelines. Short of leaving facebook, that's the only hope.

I can always play a song and record it. YouTube doesn't even allow downloading in 1080p anymore. Enough with this idiotic copyright bullshit. If you don't want people to copy your stuff, stop publishing it! We don't need copy

I'd argue that merely holding an egregious patent should not be the criterion but rather using it in a unprovoked manner. However, as I say this I wonder whether my bias is showing... against Microsoft (who I am frankly not very fond o

Don't quote me on this but this seemed to be the consensus in the spring pad shutdown thread right here on HN. How is this any different? Well, Apple doesn't sell nearly as many phones as Samsung but they are probably an anomaly a
