I read a few online comics that have RSS feeds, but don't include the comic in the feed. I use Yahoo pipes to insert the image into the feed body.

Credit to the guy, when he trolls he doesn't do it half-arsed. A whole article of linux FUD and crud. Desktop linux will probably never match Windows' or Mac's market share, but it is not dead.

Writing down your thoughts is a kind of hill climbing process. As you dump your thoughts out onto paper you free up your mind to think about a different part of the problem / the bigger picture / the finer details. But your entire thought p

We can fork and alter the code, and deploy it to our devices. I'll grant that it is not easy on some devices, but you can't argue against the carriers' right to change the code without compromising your own.

In this case, Joe is wrong. "Open-source" simply means that anyone is allowed to read the code. We may associate certain release schedules and commit policies with typical open-source projects, but those schedules and policies are not manda

You could do this by adding your own .debug() function. In some ways this would add an advantage, because you would be making your debug code reusable. Example: jQuery.fn.debug = function(){ if (console && console.log)

Doesn't the US already have a form of this, in that losers are sometimes required to pay their opponents' litigation fees?

Good points. But why the quotes around the HN post title?

More: the size of the market also indicates a certain fragility. The chance of competitors/demand/etc may mean that eventually it won't be worth enough money to commit further effort to. If you can bring your app to a point where it's sella

Several of the TV shows I watch put the episodes online (which is great), but the websites invariably fall short in the way they organise those videos and the rest of the site. They are definitely popular in spite of their UI, not because

I love jQuery, but I don't see why it is required here. Wouldn't this code work just as well with a couple of element IDs, and add library independence to the bargain?

This is a US story reported by the BBC, which happens with some regularity here on HN. Is it because the BBC reports news that US media doesn't, because the people who follow the BBC are more interested in news, or am I just imagining it?

Why can’t everyone accept credit cards? Chargebacks. It's huge evolution, but receiving money by credit card still has potential complications.

It's not as simple as that. Amazon offers developers at least two things even Apple can't: 1) a vast, vast pool of consumers (vast), and 2) a network of recommendations, referrals, and reviews, honed over years for the single purpose of fin

One of the big advantages of Android's openness was that even the Marketplace itself could have alternatives. This is a good thing - it puts competitive pressure on Google's, and provides an outlet for developers who have issues with the pa

Infinite flexibility, and none of the power of JS is sacrificed. This framework is awesome.

Clearly you have never needed to do anything remotely complex with a database. There is a reason visual programing languages aren't successful outside of a few extremely simple domains.

We're allowed to use anything. The way it's fallen out: 1 person with Linux on PC, 2 with Linux on Macs, 3 on Macs, 2 on Windows 7. As others have said, virtual machines are your friend.

Like all hype, you need to take startup variety with a grain of salt. A lot of it is entrepreneurs encouraging others to overcome the fear and inertia that held them back. And for every blog post touting the all-singing-all-dancing power of

Linux is well established - the licensing terms are unlikely to change and the community understands (independant of the legal agreement, which they mostly don't) that once they contribute code it is out of their hands. The business of Dias

You're focusing too much on what your users aren't doing. Find out what they are doing and retarget the app based on that.

Their openness about the vulnerability is refreshing. But I assume they're only publicising the vulnerability because of the people already exploiting it.

How did they choose these #1's? The range is "Quality of Life" - "Bananas" - "Intestinal Disease". It would have been more interesting to see the positive and negative best-at's shown separately.

Fascinating read, but would benefit from the attention of an editor.
