   It's funny reading about these tools who give their real names and try to masquerade under the banner of Anon being this Great Scary Band of White Knights. The media that gobbles it all up is almost as funny. The fact that Anon and Anon cul

   There's something weird about the hardware specialization with chromeos though. About fall 2010 I accidentally my whole win 7 notebook and installed a copy of chromeos onto the harddrive before switching to arch Linux. Twas terribly slow an

   Wow, (at the risk of breaking the anti-meta rule) this is the kind of comment I love and come to HN for. This entire topic has been heavily on my mind for the last few months as I'm transitioning to legal adulthood and am in the college app

    I'm also guessing Maxthon[1] has a large browser share in China and you'll notice that MSIE6 is in its userstring[2], which could possibly be diluting the results for pure IE6 instead of those with the same engine (Trident[3]). [1]: http:/

    You can't do it with this level of preciseness in the Mac family at least. Between OS X, probably as long as you're not on non-intel processors. Like other commenter said, Windows/MS really goes all the way for backwards compatibility.

    I've actually just been using the Notifo extension[1] and Notifo iPhone app. Interesting that your original post[2] announcing the launch wasn't as well received as this secondary source/blogpost ...possibly timing of the post? [1]: https:

    Where/why/when did this trend start? I saw it first on Twitter and Facebook, then the Gawker family of sites, and now it's spreading to other media outlets like Ars here.

    That actually sounds great, and I agree that that'd cover the vast majority of use cases. Another argument for open sourcing it to be forked to the community's tastes :)

    If the site operators open source the nice UI and their methods of selecting torrents from public trackers (assuming they don't hand pick each and every movie's torrents and other metadata...this is all scriptable/automatable) on Github, th

    I think the point is users are going to discriminate themselves and choose as from their own preferences. Some people (like myself) hate seeing humongous torrents if movies that don't fit the usual scene requirements. Others only use certai
