But COBOL on Crank just sounds better. Add Jason Statham typing away and well...you have something (not sure what exactly).

I really like posterous. I'm wondering about wordpress - especially migrating to posterous from an installed wordpress site (rather than having a site on wordpress.com). One thing that is missing from posterous is the ability to put ads li

Since both chrome and safari use webkit to render - chrome should work too shouldn't it? Granted - Apple's definition of open is "you should only use Apple products".

There is one problem with Ballmer being on Dancing with the Stars - he would have to dance with a partner...I think that's part of the rules. As we all know, Ballmer can only dance by himself (and yell "Developers, Developers, Developers")

Come on - you haven't seen Dexter? That's an ethical serial killer show. Your points are all well stated but he is quite funny ("nerdgasm"...come on). Otherwise - just add healthcare reform and Wallstreet debacle to your list and then bui

Sadly - not fast enough. Moodle is interesting but non techie edu folks don't touch it.

I keep having an image of Donald E. Graham hovering over Zuke and waiting for him to complete the article in long script and then handing it off to some flunky to be typed. Then Donald says "good job Zuke" and pats him on the head and Zuke

Well - if we take a big leap here and assume that one of WakeMate's founders is a mod and this person deleted the post then the policy is not so good. A possible approach is to allow the mods to have aliases to their usernames (and PG and c

Didn't know about this flag - thanks for pointing it out. As for the post - doesn't seem offensive at all. PG: Hacker News improvement suggestion: for any post that gets deleted - show the username of the one who deleted it so when "show

Neat tool - thanks for creating it. One question - when I run it on my account there are 2 scans that never seem to return (it keeps saying "scanning"). The scans are: - scanning personal information... - scanning friends, tags, and conn

I think they provided that but it just wasn't obvious from the current entry of their blog. Check this out: http://joindiaspora.com/2010/04/30/a-response-to-mr-villa.ht... What do you think?

I heard this on my local TV news touting it as a new privacy measure...and then I found details via the link. What exactly does this have to do with privacy? It deals with someone who tries to hack your facebook account but has nothing to

I think that your analogy is almost on the mark but it needs one little tweak: "It's like a bank building a safe with several feet of reinforced concrete on the top, bottom, and sides, but putting a plywood door on the front which looks lik

Really...so releasing in 3 months is not fast enough for you? If it was me, I'd want to work on it for 3 months and during that time - talk to other folks that are working on similar issues and have the code reviewed by some trusted mentor

I'm not sure that is correct - look at the web applications that use the AGPL license: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AGPL_web_applications It seems to me this would allow the service provider approach and the ability to also have a

My take on this is that they want to take 3 to 4 months of complete focus on coding and design. If you involve too many people by open sourcing it now - you could easily have a "too many cooks" syndrome and the whole project gets bogged do

Terrific concept! The site is beautiful. Feedback wise: I signed up for the email and initially it wasn't obvious that all the checkboxes of vegetable varieties were applicable to the zipcode that I entered (so have something that states "t

I completely agree with you. It has become a cat and mouse game with facebook where they try to expose all personal information while the user (some users) try to prevent them from doing this through the constant changes in default setttin

Avoid Wordpress...really? I can understand avoiding shared hosts because you have less control of the environment but going to an alternative blogging platform because it is more obscure than Wordpress seems to be a bad approach (and if yo

Thanks...that makes total sense. I need to (sadly) give google gears the boot.

Fair enough - so how do I use google docs when I'm offline? Alternatively, would you have suggestions on some other service that provides similar doc capability with html5 database?

My list of things keeping from Chrome is same as yours though I'd also add lack of google gears support. I don't understand how they have that for firefox but they don't have it from Chrome. In addition to this Chrome (on the mac) crashes

The message at the end is quite good. It is the same message he gave at the http://blog.cusec.net/2009/01/05/zed-shaw-the-acl-is-dead-cu... talk. I discovered Zed through the rant against Ruby's community (I had done a google search abo

True - they're not easier to learn but beyond the browser they are more applicable across different mobile platforms (i.e. Android, Blackberry). Objective-C and Cocoa will always be iPhone specific. I've been learning Objective-C though I
