mixing RTL and LTR is a pain in unix-like tools (gnu, os x). What I usually (not always) found out diring my experiments woth Persian is that the gnu tools themselves deal with it quite fine - but the terminal application shows them at pret

To even be able to sign your application to run on OS X, you need to pay 99 dollars. And agree to Apple's terms. You have to agree to pages of Apple's terms if you want to let anyone to run your thing on iOS. "You only need a $99 memb

Yes, it is a very cultural thing. I am generalizing here, but in Asia, individuality is (relatively) valued less and conformity valued more. I might be downvoted for this, but well, there is a reason why all the Japanese cartoons/comics loo

Yes, because without the vendor lock-in the price wouldn't be as unreasonably high as it is now.

This is basically Apple's definition of "free".

The companies themselves are usually the ones that provide the recycling. For me, the problem is price (and dependence on a single vendor - which is connected :))

I still don't get why Microsoft is pushing Metro SO HARD to bet everything on it when nobody really likes it that much. Zune (where I saw it for the first time) failed in the market. Windows Mobile (that has the Metro theme) failed in the m

I still don't understand how is "rewatchability" different from "quality". If the movie is good, I would like to watch it again. What is the difference?

Yes, I know I shouldn't say it out loud, but here I am saying it (take me, Police) - out of curiosity, I went to Hard Candy section of The Hidden Wiki. (Yes, it is exactly what you would think it is.) GOD. There are seriously forums full

About the size of the blockchain: yeah, it would probably explode. On the other hand, if the dreams of BitCoin proponents are to come true and BitCoin will become the new online currency it wants to be, it will explode anyway. About the s

I have a genius idea how to make a p2p pseudo-twitter which I have shared with only one person yet, but why not share it now on HN (maybe someone can build it instead of me, since I don't have the time at the moment because of school stuff)

Hm, this is kind of sad. On one hand, I understand that the original concept wasn't as successful as everyone thought, so the best thing to do is try to do something else. On the other hand, "meme creation" is so overdone at this point that

During my perl experience, I learned that any special character next to $ is usually some magic variable that does something . So I would bet that $\ also does something . edit: oh yeah. $\ - The output record separator for the print oper

Well. To play the devil's advocate - when you listen to what Kim Dotcom says, it sounds like he has hell of a security on his place. In that light, the operation was not that overblown - especially when the officers couldn't know the exact

"Apple has a purpose for everything it does, including this lawsuit." OK, this is beyond crazy. Why are some people taking Apple like some sort of Holy Company that does nothing wrong, ever? This is so dangerous.

Have you actually tried using Tribler, though? It is not very usable, compared to just going to the piratebay/torrentz/demonoid/just reguralry googling your thing.

I have to say, I generally dislike video coding tutorials. First, it's difficult to google/copy-paste. Second, it just goes against the way I learn new programming languages - I generally read it, then try it, then experiment with it in som

The site looks like 100% Scientóogy propaganda. I know this may sound paranoic, but you can really recognize it by the home page and the way it's written.

This reminds me of del.icio.us and the new team, that rewrote it from scratch. It is very similar - old product that shone in the past but was out of focus in recent years. The rewrite didn't work right; old users were angry and new users d
