   Not to start the "320kbs is better" discussion but with my Unlimited account I only heard one or two albums which sounds very compressed (spotify:album:07hc4SjPjogLqwBc7dUCiD for example: Alan Parsons). Most of the time the quality is just

   The client is waiting a full second to give all DHCP servers the ability to answer the request for an IP address offer. Then the client will choose the best offer and will tell that DHCP server it took the offer. I think after that the DHCP

   For those interested: The Linux version is getting better and better. I'm using it daily. I think Spotify is absolutely worth the money. It's also great for playing your own music collection.

   Exactly! This isn't about format but about content. A movie on DVD without the menus and warnings is still a movie on DVD, but better.

   "in six lines of C" I'm not impressed. It could be done in 1 line of C when he left out the line-breaks. I don't think obfuscated code is interesting. It's unreadable. And therefore it's hard to learn something from it. But it's nice he i

   Well they do exist. I was actually surprised to see this as 'news'. I got one at home for almost 2 years. Works like it was advertised. It's from Pharox http://www.pharox-led.com

   I think Message and E-mail will be enough. Most people write down 'kind regards, name' in the message.

   I agree in a way, but would it be possible to prove anything then?

    Does NIST (and other sync tools) keep in mind the round-trip of a request (RTD / RTT)?

    True, but you need customers as well.

    "What do they (bosses) want?" Sometimes they want software that is a good selling point. A language can be 100 times better but if the customer never heard about it it can be hard to sell. Some customers just want there product written in

    There are other contrast problems in this design. Colorblind people have a hard time seeing what's selected.

    Read the article and still don't know why it's lightning fast. All cables are lightning fast.

    No opinion (yet). I could not use it. -Edit- I was unaware of the real meaning of the black bar on top of HN. Joke removed..

    I understand math, but I can't read mathematical symbols. Does anyone know a good website/book for applying and understanding mathematical symbols?

    I don't know if it's true, but I heard a story about a man who was cured from cancer by eating very healthy. To me it's no surprise the body likes healthy food to maintain the ability to cure from a lot of things. (edit: I think T. Colin Ca

    Same here. I think the results are very bad. They say it's not about the results but about branding. Well to be honest I can't remember there logo already though I read the article..

    For all the downvoters I got a question: Does the article give any proof or are you just taking it for truth?

    When they find the remains of midgets 10000 years from now would they also call them 'other species'? I never read any real proof of other 'human' species. Only 'possibilities' and 'believes'.

    Only problem with SimpleXML is that it needs to have the complete file in memory. This isn't a problem for small XML files. But reading a file of lets say 100MB will produce tons of objects an thus a large amount of used memory.

    Using a photo where all is in focus you only need a depth-map to process the blur. I think something like the Kinect is making this possible already.

    Are you saying it's very hard to implement a checkbox to disable WebGL? A lot of browsers protect you from opening or resizing windows via Javascript. How could disabling WebGL be more complicated? My browser is even warning me when a Javas

    News like this always makes me wonder if the Maya calendar is an accurate description of cycles in nature. The end of there calendar also ends within a decade. Maybe just a prediction of another cycle.
