Heh ... I'm certainly not into "US-bashing", but I can't help think that someone could do quite a lot of that fueled by that particular quote. The City of P.A. thinks it needs to protect its residents from the tripping hazards of ... acorns

Heh ... For some reason I mis-remembered, and expected an article about the profound impact of the classic arcade game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q*bert ... Not at all what I got, but a good read nevertheless.

Huh ... Does the Daily Mail generally publish hoaxes?

No support for fortnights?! I'm shocked at the omission of this critical unit of time, used throughout society.

I still have fond memories from a couple of years back, when I was a consultant in the telecom business. When there was talk about IMS, I looked at Wikipedia to get an overview, and never recovered. I printed out http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Nothing crazy about our connection, but I haven't tried hard to get something better either. It's plain old ADSL over copper, at 8 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Cost is 249 SEK/month, which at the current conversion rate is about $33. The locati

I've used these; perhaps not this exact brand but the same generic product. Sheets of thin white plastic that adhere using static to walls and other surfaces. They work pretty well; you have to take care not to get crinkles or wrinkles in t

Now, I don't know at all who this "Stephen Woicik" is, and didn't take the time to find out ... Still, I found this passage annoying: "One strange thing was even when the Kindle was “off” it still drained a little power. Sliding the off bu

Uh ... Except at each point in time, there can be a different best selling album. It's not as if it's now a universal constant, that can never change, is it? On the other hand, with the concept of "album" feeling slightly old-school, perhap

As noodle said, the link is broken and 404s on click. Specifically, it seems to be doubled (copy and paste mistake?). The proper link is half of what's there now, i.e. http://www.techflash.com/I_Can_Has_Cheezburger_at_Startpad_4... . It wo

Yay, with a front page prominently showing off the latest release, in March 2007. Feels alive!

That's certainly true, but the article is in Finnish. :)

I'm pretty sure the article is here: < http://www.hs.fi/talous/artikkeli/Facebook+ilmoittaa+mainost... , but it is (of course) in Finnish which I don't understand. I recognize the numbers quoted. Here's a Google Translation: < http:

The title of this post really doesn't match the title of the linked-to article, which is confusing.

Wow, that was hard to understand. I thought HN mainly posted things in English?

I love how it features benchmark data (Lisp versus C) from 1987. Fresh!

Wow ... I consider myself reasonably well-versed with C, and I had never heard of that header. I would of course, bias and all, consider any programmers deciding to use it to be well out of touch with reality. I don't see a real-world benef

At least RMS probably knows that the command is "gunzip", not "ungzip".
