The answers are there, but I agree that it could be quite a bit clearer. > Can I keep a planet if I didn't roll a sun with it? No - suns make planets habitable (see the Sun section); you can only keep habitable planets and black holes.

This is why his grievance wasn't with the text but the title.

You know, I know it's 2013 and all, and things like this shouldn't amaze me, but the fact that you can get data from Australia to Brazil in _minutes_ is still kind of astounding to me.

>A big part of professionalism is avoiding certain low-value behaviors because some people you might like to get along with are bothered by said behaviors. Which is something I personally wouldn't expect at a hacker-culture convention.

Nobody's questioning it. I'm not sure where that impression came from.

I think your tone here is a little more combative than the article deserves. >If anything, I hope talking about it reduces these sorts of incidents without anybody feeling like their rights are being reduced as well. This (along with &#

Seconding step 2 -- vim environments, to vim-heavy developers, are a little like office spaces to me. Each has its perks; each person likes a different desk calendar; I like my door open and my coworker likes his closed. It'd be awesome if

Because there's a semantic difference between "SimCity" and "SimCity Online." SimCity's been a single-player offline experience since its inception. It's reasonable to believe in a vacuum that a newly-released "SimCity" game will be the sam

What about them? Maybe I'm dense today, but I don't see how what you said relates to what he said. His mentioning DRM was ancillary to the main point, that you don't buy digital goods in the classical sense, but instead lease the right to u

I don't like this sort of thinking. It costs us -- the collective -- nothing when someone makes a grid, or a framework, or a library, or anything, that they think might be useful to someone somewhere and uploads it to the internet for all t

Where you see malice and oppression, in this article, I see insensitivity and maybe a little ignorance. There is a big difference between a dumb question, which I think her friend asked, and a personal attack; that difference is intent. Con

I came into this article thinking that it was someone at Twitter, probably as part of the interview process, that told her this. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the title is a bit misleading.

I'm not sure he was talking about copyright -- if I scan (or manually reproduce) something in the public domain, I of course own that copy and can do with it as I please. I just can't go and prevent other people from copying my copy.

I like the idea! One bit of knee-jerk feedback for you -- on Firefox (don't know about others), the "What our clients are saying" is moving really fast. Messages with longer text fly away before I'm done reading them! If possible, I'd als

+1 to everything fusiongyro said. Additionally, a personal note -- I'd like to see a shuffle system. 90% of the time I use any of those services, it isn't really to pay attention to a show; it's for background noise. The same way I'd put on

I don't know why it didn't even occur to me that the editor could be a third-party library. Duh :) Thanks for clarifying, and great work!

It's still a warrant, though, reviewed by eleven (?) judges, who are appointed for non-repeating terms. I definitely agree with Wyden's proposal -- that there be more transparency in this process, even if it's heavily redacted. Even he and

I'm confused by the title of this article. Do FISA warrants not count as warrants?

This does seem dismissive to me. The entire point of this exercise is to address zaidf's use case, which is trying to attach importance to messages that are outside the realm of Facebook's "important" data points. If they aren't your friend

I realize there's value added to that it's specifically targeted spamming, but, yes, $1 per message is several orders of magnitude more expensive than normal spamming.

The article says that at the moment (realizing that this is still very early), users are limited to one message a week. I imagine that this will rise, but if they keep a relatively low limit on the amount you can send, I should think that s
