Potentially, but if so, it should be something which you'd have to opt into or open only for fellow developers. The last thing I want is to get spammed with "bug reports" from lay users with trivial or non-existent issues. If they implement

I was interested in what they mine there, so I searched around and found this very informative page: http://www.infomine.com/minesite/minesite.asp?site=kiddcreek The overview from that page: The Kidd Mine is in northern Ontario, 500 miles

It's certainly not a direct correlation, but it does help to sort the spam bots and people who created an account but never use it from the rest. However, I did mention that the karma approach would not account for lurkers which was why I p

I'd be interested to see some analytics, such as how many users are there with 100+ karma because that's likely a better measure of the number of active users than the number of registered users (many of which are likely inactive). However,

> As a developer you don't want to start at 0 reviews every time there is a OS update. Reviews are pretty important, and if it periodically looks like you don't have them it would be very bad. This is not true. Sure, if you were the ONL

I'm going to have to agree with him. It is a bit ridiculous that someone using the iOS 5 beta has their reviews go in along with the rest of them. Apple should make it so reviews are only shown for the OS of the user's phone, so if I am on

The Pentagon also has more height, with 4 stories above ground and at least 2 below. Don't know if Apple plans on having stories below ground, there was no mention during the presentation, but not doing so would account for more of the diff

YES. This. I cannot even begin to describe how many times I've heard commenters here spout advice like they are experts in patent law when they simply don't have the most basic grasp about them. It's terribly frustrating and scary to see pe

This is also mostly wrong. You are right in that the date of invention in the U.S. is a useful date, but it only means that in the event of a conflict either during patent prosecution or on a challenge to validity later, he who can show the

Yes. The parent post to which I responded said The date of the patent application is the determining date for a patent. when discussing whether or not he could be sued post-issue and that is not true. There are 2 dates, the date a patent

Yes. The date of the patent application is the determining date for a patent. I'm thinking that since they filed the application after you were already online, you're probably more or less OK, but patent law is weird. This is just wrong.

I am as well, but I also understand it is a very simple way of branding it and having everyone know, at a glance, that it's an Apple product. As an example, if you asked an outsider to the tech world which brand makes the EVO, Nexus S, Veer

Horribly annoying that on their website, when I click play on a video then close the popup, the video keeps playing! I tried to view a few clips and they were all playing in the background. Had to re-open the video again and manually press

Or at least include a transcript at the bottom so people can parse out the useful info without sitting through the video or trying to skip through and (likely) skipping right past the relevant nuggets.

Because HN won't allow clickable links on text posts. IIRC it has something to do with the fact that pg didn't want discussion on links posted that wasn't in the comments or something and allowing a link with a text post allows for such com

Anyone else find this to be a bit over-dramatic? They have released every other version and just haven't released the 4.3.x one yet. There is no indication that they refuse to release it ever, the site still says "Coming Soon" and it has st

One interesting point about this concept is that one of the limiting factors was likely that it was too complex to keep track of who had whose vote. Traditionally, with paper and bureaucracy, it would have been a near impossible task to cal

Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears the good is still bubbling to the top, simply the metric has been removed. I find that I often instinctively head to upvote a comment that has hit its critical mass in terms of karma votes regardless

One problem with following your suggestion is that you cannot refer to an older test again. By including the test id in the URL, I was able to email myself the link, make some changes to my site, then run it again and compare the new result

But in spite of the fact that they outsource manufacturing, they have their own OS, hardware they've designed for the external (such as the chassis), and components they've designed internally (like the A4) - they're still far more vertical
