There is also a rifle that runs Linux. It allows you to easily hit a target at 1000 yards in high wind with no skill. I have used it. If you made an OS that disallowed military use / 'killing people' you would exclude GPS sat

The webpage you cite does not support your argument that Climate Change caused the Egyptian population to rise up against their oppressive/corrupt dictatorship. It simply states that Russia had fires destroying wheat and Egypt was an i

I followed this guy for a long time until it was obvious that he quit and did not mean to return. The design of that amp was frustrating. The power, the input and the output are all on the front of the amp. I always wondered why nobody clea

Most databases I see on HN are a case of take algorithm X and apply it to problem Y through interfaces Z[], which is fantastic if you have problem Y and no good solution. Infinitely scalable nosql db running on raw SSDs is fantastic, for ex

Surface to air missiles are never the real problem, its the radar system. You cannot shoot what you cannot see, and you cannot open your eyes (turn on the radar) without letting everyone know where you are. Russia is sure to have deployed t

If the states compete with subsidies, I cannot see how small countries with small populations and economies (such as new zealand) cannot also offer tax breaks. They would be laughed out of court. Not to mention all the farming and energy s

The article boils down to 1) Kiva spends to much money on marketing and is therefor inefficient. 2) Kiva gets to much media attention. 3) Kiva are attracting more than their share of micro-investors. 4) Kiva does not export Western cultural
