   So, in the case of jpegs, their compression is not lossless, they just claim the losses are not that perceptually visible. Apart from the strong PR claims, this is actually not that bad, no? If you have two lossy compressions, but one is pe

   Make is fine, easy to learn and understand, but not very portable, while Autotools are scary giant monsters left from previous generations.

   Well, we also don't know the whole story. Maybe he actually physically stole something/used someone else credit card/etc. and we are taking only his word that he didn't.

   Hm, so, let's look at something more modern. The project Allura page seems nice, altought I still don't understand why they have one sort of navigation in "code" view and in "non-code" view, that looks completely different. Also, the link "

   It's funny though that Facebook frequently asks you for your password to your e-mail account. For very similar kind of thing.

   If you look into the black mark under its feet and let it zoom far enough so it snaps into the level of another photo type, you can see the construction it possibly stands on. http://btlondon2012.co.uk/pano.html?view.hlookat=-53.1605&#3...

   I will just add - I bought a cheap no-name Android tablet and got a great impression. It has a low-res screen, yes, but other than that I can't complain. The system is vanilla android with no crapware, it's easy to use, it's OK for playing

    I know it's a terrible note.... but I can't tell if that black person with the google glass on the photo is a man or a woman. I really can't tell.

    Well, it could be in CSV, yes, but - I was saving the comments, too, so right now, a torrent element has comment elements as sub-elements; in CSV would probably need to be two tables/files instead of one, which would get a little more compl

    Presto was not open source. WebKit is open source. So, the internet is becoming more open, not less.

    I see this as a win for open source software. (Or "free software". I never know.) Opera never open-sourced its rendering engine Presto, keeping it as a jewel of sorts. On the other hand, Apple always shared the WebKit code, so Google could

    For me, standard "offline" Office suites are really "things of the previous millenium". MS Office or Libre/OpenOffice alike. I use Google Docs for everything. It's simpler to use, it's simpler to share documents, it's inherently more mobile

    Nesting is both good and bad. For hacker news it's good, because those are more "asocial" conversations - I don't know who I am replying to, I don't personally know any of you folks and I don't really remember to who I replied. However, a l
