   I clicked on that to bookmark and translate later, and holy-crap-my-eyes-are-bleeding. And I thought some sites in the US were bad with ads. Click at your own risk.

   As for this having to do with the type of site that HN is, I'd say that this a cautionary tale for those making the next hipster social site - how not to treat your customers.

   I assume that add-ons need to be written specifically for the Android browser - no delicious add-on listed, will need to stick with Dolphin HD for now.

    Just downloaded it. Is there or can there be an option to keep the traffic inside my LAN, on the home side of my router? Seems a waste of my ISP bandwidth to stream from one room in my house to another.

    Basic vi knowledge may not be needed if you only work in Linux, but in my job I can work on Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX, and vi is the only editor that you can find on all of them in their base installs.

    I understand the tradeoffs between Windows and Linux and choosing one or the other for a particular task, buy why run Ubuntu Server on one machine and CentOS on others? Are the tools that Linux specific that it's worth keeping track of two

    Agree. On any given day I'm using so many devices at work, home, trying out Live CD's, etc. that I need some algorithm that I can just memorize and type in.

    Yes, Facebook. If they ever go to a friend's house and they have a computer, or go to school...kids in my church get on Facebook at school all the time, either with no effort or I hear them talking about how to get around blocks with proxie

    Your kids will have an account, if they don't already. No special software is needed, just a browser and the ability to remember a password. School, library, friend's house...in this war it isn't you vs. them, it's the smartest, most motiva

    I've had a Galaxy Tab since they first came out, and I use it just about daily, in bed, on the exercise bike, in a jacket pocket out to Starbucks. I think the size is perfect, and with only one exception (TMZ) the apps have scaled to the 10

    Back in the day I used to have fun with my TRS-80 by hand-typing in a program to infinitely looping poking a random value into a random memory location. Some of the time the program would stop because it changed the BASIC source code, somet

    Forget PDAnet, 2.2 has a mobile hotspot built in. Also, Connectbot has SSH tunneling and Fennec (not in an app store, but you cab install it anyway) has a proxy plugin, no worries about Firesheep - try that on iOS. Reading this on my Galaxy

    Off and on I've been doing the exercises and examples in Clojure, and it's a little difficult because the Python examples seem so imperative to me. It's been a challenge turning them into functional code, there's a couple of places where I

    I logged in once in regular mode, then I logged out, enough for Chrome to remember the credentials. When I go to Facebook in incognito I get the login page with credentials filled in, I have to click the login button but that's it.
