1. No, I still think that copyright law is absolutely necessary in order for some types of authors to be able to make money and sustain them selves through the sale of their works. Specifically film makers and book authors, because that&#x2

+1 If the author could get data from 1980-2013, and make it into a 60 second animation, it would be really interesting to see.

Is data for pre-90s years available? I am really curious to see the 60-70-80s progression.

I am assuming that the more clustered the circles are, the more like minded the party is? Each line represents a vote. So, a thick line between 2 congressman represents more general agreement, and thinner line means they agree only on a few

"In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit" is the rest of that quote. This presumes that good is the opposite of evil, and the two are polar extremes. It is my opinion that "good" is a sta

Most people on HN are either programmers or in the startup world. I'll assume that you are the same. In that case, I challenge you, if you think copyright is bad. Release ALL of your work, including all the code you have on your server

Wonderful! This is a great tool for restaurant service people to clone your card. I had my card cloned in a restaurant 2 times. Both times they were able to trace it to an employee who was cloning mag strips and selling them online. With th

Ok, let's look at the world with no Copyright:: Books: Writer writes a book, self publishes it, and starts selling it. It starts selling really well. Big company comes along, buys one copy of the book, and starts publishing copies of i

Is it possible that they are amazingly good at not getting caught and controlling leaks. Every now and then they allow them salves to be caught with some crap documents, just to keep up appearances. Just a thought, neither you or I will eve

It makes no sense to link the duration of the copyright work to the life of the author. Say some one writes a book and then promptly gets hit by a car. Why should their book have less of a copyright term then a book written by and author th

Yes, because the problem isn't that American government is doing things which, when revealed, are "most damaging to the standing prestige of the United States and our relations with some of our best friends." No, the problem

For me it comes out to $250/month for Bronze Plan, and only $170/month for Catastrophic Plan. I don't go to doctors unless I need to, and when I need to, I can afford paying cash. I can take a $6,350 bet on my health, but I s

This makes me so infuriated! This site is great, it's exactly what needed to be done, it works, and of course, it was NOT designed by our government, because it works, and that just makes way too much sense! I used the CA site before t

Most well developed sites will work well in Chrome, FF, and IE10. IE8 is generally well supported for now, but it's only because developers have to bend over backwards to support it, because they think they have to. Then, there are web

This reminds me. I once did work for this guy in Chicago. This guy was responsible for leading a team that converted all government computers in the city from Windows NT to 2000. The man does not know how to program, create websites, remove

Get Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, or any number of modern, standards compliant browsers, and use that. Windows != IE, you can use one without the other. And it's not that they are doing it just because. IE9 is missing a ton of neede

I am amazed at the OP! Just search google for zip code database. The first result is the link from parent post that gives you a free list of all zip codes, and primary cities they are associated with, plus a ton of other data. How on earth

I am the OP. Thank you for the great feedback! I think this clarified our choices. I think we will go with PHP, simply because we know PHP now, and don't have to learn something new, as so many of you pointed out. I'll have to upd

It's not just for iPad, any tablet, and not just new once. I brought my iPad 3 in yesterday and got the SIM card, and off I was. 10$ for the SIM and that's it! The guy in front of me had an old samsung tablet, same thing. You don&

I was considering starting a kickstarter like site for this as well. Some projects have stalled development. It would be interesting to have a system where people can create a road plan for a particular stalled open source project, and dona

In this day and age, does it really matter if China or US makes the hardware. I think it's been definitively proven that one is not better than the other, when it comes to privacy and hacking.

Because this happens on occasion, maybe HN should add a feature that takes a snapshot of a website when it starts inching to the top of the list and delete the cache when it falls off.

You should write a DMCA demand letter and send it via registered mail to BB. If you have a friend who is an attorney, ask them to send it on their stationary. You should get a response quickly. If you need more help, email me.

The title is a bit misleading. They are working with Facebook on a program that would allow them to ban individual users form Facebook, not shutdown the entire FB, like the title makes it sound. Not saying they should have the right, as FB

Spray it with compressed air inside and out. You can get into the slit between the fan housing and the motor and blow it out there as well. Most fans start making noise due to bearing failure / wobble, not the dust. I have a small home

I heard that Airlines do not like you shopping around for prices from someone who did this research. They log you when you first come on their site. If you come back 2-3 days later, they will jack up the price, presumably to scare you into
