   While the article is informative, it seems like a poor decision to type your password into anything that isn't the site you access with it. While the site isn't doing anything harmful, it is not served over SSL so it could easily be modifie

   Yes, but he wasn't working continuously for 8.5 years. If a full time work-year is about 240 hours, that's 312 1/2 years! I admire his persistence.

   I don't know which comment that you are referring to but it is incorrect. I personally confirmed with the project lead that they have no intention of "discontinuing open development." Growl remains free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer if y

   To save $2 and cheat the developers out of earning something for the work they've put into the program over the past 7 years? It's still open source and you can still compile your own version, but nonetheless the developers deserve a tiny b

   I thought of this too when I heard about it: > In ten or twenty years Minneapolis-Honeywell, which makes many thermostats today, may try to sell you a really fancy home temperature control system. It will know the preferences of tempera

    One of the benefits of using a single-site browser is that you can restrict the URLs the browser will load, protecting you against phishing, cookie stealing, etc. Last I looked at Fluid, it had a whitelisting feature but it was horribly bro

    Scribd is awful and it's an embarrassment to this site and to Y Combinator. There have been countless posts here decrying paywalls set up by academic journals, yet while Scribd is hardly any better, they're accepted and even promoted within

    I'm reasonably sure that the background video[1] is also used in the Weather HD[2] app for iOS. Anyone know who created it first? 1: http://www.rainymood.com/video/RainyMood.mp4 2: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-hd/id364193735?mt

    R is a pretty terrible language for many reasons, and it always surprises me when it rises to the top on HN. But in terms of code quality within R itself, I was surprised to find that a number of its .c files are actually machine-translated
