I think you're just looking for an excuse ;) I do 2h training rides (in full lycra, of course) before work, and we don't have a shower. Come to work, change all my clothes, put some water in the face, apply deodorant and I'm set.

Google+ comments are annoying don't you think? There's hundreds of them under every popular post, and they add exactly zero useful information. The real name policy appears not to stop people from posting trivial bullshit like "$X FTW" (sur

No doubt there are better solutions. But nobody has implemented one yet. Despite some users making up advanced theories for the lack of certain functionality, it usually only comes down to a simple lack of time and resources...

Lame attempt. Sun shipped M*N and 1:1 threading in Solaris 2.2 (1993). HP-UX followed in 1997. You're like a grammar Nazi unable to spell check his own posts.

The patent systems idealistic idea is to protect the inventor from the big guys that copy his idea, because he himself does not have the necessary capital to manufacture the product. The patent system certainly didn't work here, even if the

And for added fun port Dalvik to it, so it can run most Android apps in addition to the native Qt5 stuff. Not going to happen, but one can dream.

Well done on the NoScript front. It's rare to see a site on HN that requires JS and falls back to a nice explanation of why it needs JS (Instead of just stating the fact, or worse, displaying a white page).
