I thought the point in time they chose to open them was pretty good. You can sell a mobile phone with video and text. But with something groundbreaking like the Glass this can be harder. Potential customers have nothing they can compare thi

What about Textmate? I really havent heard a lot about it after releasing the source. Looking at the repository it seems there is active development but I kind of expected a bit more. The last blog post for example is from october. Its a ve

Well. The one thing is a service to rate (sexualize/stalk) others without their knowing and consent, the other is a social network only for girls. The latter kind of reminds me of a sitcom-idea as pg calls it ( http://paulgraham.com/startup

If his workflow doesn't require him to edit files remotely, it's a valid statement to say that he has replaced vim with textadept (and it works).

Yup. Especially after github abandoned the download feature which allowed developers to provide compiled binaries. Github is great, but to end users which are just searching for good open source software to use its practically useless. I h

Completely agree with you on this one. Although I have to admit, after getting a racing-cycle I slightly changed my views. Its almost impossible to drive fluently more than a few meters either on the sidewalk or in a bike lane. Weird and ch

I am really looking forward ordering a pizza and getting them delivered by a drone 15 minutes later. As soon as this happens (5 years? 8 years?) I am pretty sure there will also be a service like silk road using drones and bitcoin as paymen

recently learned in another thread that Google+ has exactly this feature although it seems no one really knows about it. Kind of odd thinking they have those kind of great features integrated in a pretty solid social network and aren't real

My thought exactly. Quicksort for example has an average case of n log n, just like mergesort. Also, Big-O notation can primarily be used to see how algorithms scale with larger datasets. Not to see which algorithm is faster. (Although in a

BMO, Bank of Montreal uses these along with a security phrase. Its absolutely ridiculous that this is mandated by some standard, but there is no guidance on password strength itself. BMO has a strict only 6 characters (no more, no less) pol

The question I am asking myself is, are those cool features enough for people to join G+. They wouldn't even have to switch from FB but G+ for Use Cases like this sounds just to cool (hi-res pictures, event coverage...) As it has been state

This party mode they used sounds a lot like the original goal of color before they changed their business to....buzzwords? I dont even know. But this sounds very cool. To Sad that it will probably never be really used as there are just to f

if you can find those cams via a google search, doesn't that mean they are linked from some other public site (which has also been indexed) which would indicate they were left public intentionally (at least most of them)? If I would set up

I hope they take this event as motivation to fix a few issues with skype. 1) Send messages to offline contacts. If they try to replace a messenger application this is a must. So far I always thought this isnt a wanted feature as skype is ma

Judging from the past I would guess that Mega will be quite popular in the web-warez scene as a hoster.

Good point. I didnt say they were free from misinformation. Just that I know I can trust eyewitness reports from international correspondents more than I can trust a random twitter account. To tackle the problem you describe its important t

People closer to the pirate party might disagree, but from my outside perspective it has much to do with procedural problems the very nature of the party brings with them. They are primarily concerned with themselves. Lets take flat hierarc

>Twitter's coverage of the Arab Spring was better than any Western media in the early days... food for thought. I would disagree. First of all, my parents dont know how to use twitter. But lets say thats just a generational problem whic

Isn't the problem here that the benefit is not directly visible? Same reason there is still no global agreement on a proceeding against global warming. There is no doubt that you need a functioning, diverse and independent press for a funct

I would really like to like the pirate party but in their current state they are absolutely unvotable for me. This is one of their core topics but I havent heard anything from them yet. What I have heard is that the youth organizations of a

yes. They dont want to block google or other crawlers. They still want their traffic, but they also want to get paid for getting crawled and listed.

I think the problem here is that this goes against the basic premise of the web itself and hypermedia. What about my blog where I post the (in my opinion) most important news of the day and link to the sources. Okay, those links are manuall

IANAL but I think this doesnt fall under the responsibility of the state attorney since it isnt part of the "strafrecht"/criminal law. I guess the process would be comparable to how copyright violations are currently handled.

It would be interesting to see an official statistic from the big papers where they get their traffic from. I get my news by surfing directly to their homepages. I think I read somewhere that they get most of their hits through the google s

Just because they share the same language doesnt mean the journalistic quality regarding local/national news is equal. A german newspaper will always be more detailed and in-depth when it comes to national matters.

To be fair, there were a few positive/neutral articles, for example by Frank Rieger, a popular member of the Chaos Computer Club, in the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) but they are in the minority. Of course, there is the obvious igno
