That's simply not true. Even in Nazi Germany there were pockets of resistance and people like Sophie Scholl who gave their lives because of their ideals. I for one am doing my best to resist tyranny in all its forms. I certainly won't write

I've purchased a bunch of them, but I never felt I got as much out of them as Ryan Bates' Railscasts. For one, peepcodes are too long to sit through in one session and follow along. Secondly, there is a bunch of extraneous stuff in each pee

Surprisingly it works fine in Ubuntu with Chrome 10. I'm glad Chrome development progresses on Linux evenly with Mac and Windows as compared to Skype which lags behind.

As far as buffer switching, I never keep hundreds of files open because when I switch git branches it's hard to remember which buffers need to be reverted. Instead I usually close everything, change branches, and then open up files as neede

Is there anything as good as Braid in this bundle? I bought the last Humble Indie Bundle and nothing really struck my fancy as much as Braid. The game play is truly innovative and the difficulty on par with Apple II and Amiga games of my yo

I found that nearly every used car I looked at on CL was either being resold by small-time "car dealers" or bought up by these same people. It was nearly impossible to find a good used car so I finally leased a new one instead.

If anyone wants to try something that approximates a computer that boots into a BASIC prompt, try AVR programming or Arduino. It's either C or assembler and you've got to use mainly reference manuals. Arduino has more resources and thus may

Paul is neither indifferent nor racist. He is explicitly pro-civil rights and anti-racist.

by reedlaw 16y ago
It is clear from the context what Paul is saying and I don't think anyone who hears him speak for more than 2 minutes will believe he's a racist: PAUL: Well, I think what you've done is you bring up something that really is not an issue, n

Maybe his son, Rand (Senator-KY), will someday run. He may stand a better chance.

Whenever I mention libertarian principles on HN I get a mixed response, but this is one situation where we must demand individual rights. We need to elect politicians like Ron Paul who oppose big government intrusions into our privacy. This

I think in the 80s and 90s the idea of questioning wasn't thought of much because it (copyright) wasn't thought of much. No one thought to much about copying cassette tapes or floppy disks (at least where I grew up).

You're right in that nature gives us no rights. Maybe it would be better to say God-given rights. Thus the command "Thou shalt not steal" becomes the basis of property rights. These rights can be understood as universal as I know of no cult
