There's an Android app that provides the barcode, but it has an optional feature to secure it with a PIN. The Android app isn't an official app from Starbucks either.

Don't limit this call to action to computer configurators. Handset manufacturers and mobile carriers are just as guilty of this. AT&T has a suite of apps that charge fees for what most handsets can do for free out of the box. Samsung re

Fantastic! My wife and I just found out we're expecting and I sent this to her immediately. It looks great, I can't wait to try it out!

I can report that it doesn't seem to work on my 2.1 Sammy Captivate. It complains about content filter settings, yet I haven't set any content filter, can't seem to find where to set it, and regardless of all that it was just a newsreader a

Revolution isn't peaceful. It is by definition a "repudiation" of the established authority. The notion that revolution could ever be peaceful and amicable is naive. Corrupt people aren't going to vacate their seats of power without coercio

They're a bit older than 4 years. I signed up there ca. 2005 and met the woman who'd become my wife in late 2007. Still though, good on them for a fantastic exit. There are some seriously clever people behind the site.

Ebert's heart is in the right place, but there are a number of reasons why his heart just isn't in the same place as the motion picture industry. He outlines a few, and others have been mentioned in other comments here, but what I see as be

The point to which I replied indicated that you meet your smart friends at college, generally leaving behind most of your high school relationships. If you just happen to go off to school with one or two of those "smart friends" then likely

Not to over-simplify, but I don't think one's social circle is enough of a justification for the astronomical cost of higher education. One can just as easily get involved in their community doing public service, attending shows, even just

This story broke my heart, but I thought the customer service lesson made it appropriate for HN. These customers paid a handsome fee for rush service; $70 to be precise. It isn't that the service was rendered poorly or incorrectly, it's tha

RadRails and Redmine are going to be the closest to the Netbeans Ruby support, others have mentioned those already. Something closer to the heart of many Ruby developers is Redcar. It's a text editor installed as a Ruby gem generally meant

I think the problem lies in how those iedentities are established. A prolific Twitter or Facebook account makes a good identity precisely because you have spent time pouring your identity into it. Your family photos, relationships, residenc

Intriguing, but with no way to gauge what's minimally required to participate I'm finding it difficult to commit...even if it is cheap. Bear in mind that I'd say the same thing even if it were free. I don't know what to expect, or to what I

Everything I've read is that the UX on the custom roms isn't exactly breathtaking. Am I mistaken?

This might be plausible, but it can't possibly be confirmed which makes it no better than speculation. I'm as frustrated as the next guy that my Captivate is still running Eclair, but stuff like this doesn't really get us any closer to a so

Your link is to the Canadian site for phones configured for Canadian carriers. Not to be pedantic, but the content of the link is specific to the business practices of US carriers.

I especially love the comment regarding the USPTO as "efficient." As if there is any metric measurable by an outside source that can distinguish between "efficient" and "just grant the damn things."

When your income decreases, you buy less stuff. It's a lesson the government has never learned. I'm perfectly happy with fewer services.

I've never believed that this was an acceptable rationale for treating everyone the same. A lot of people suck. So what? Punishing the whole because of the depravity of the minority (or even the majority) is the kind of least common denomi

I'm dubious of people who equate paying fewer taxes with the concept of evil, as if government ever did anything to earn income. There's far too prevalent a mindset in this country that sees falling tax revenue as a negative, then further

It's infuriating that one may setup a company for the sole purpose of holding patents as property. The entire purpose of the patent system is to guarantee inventors market opportunity with the incarnation of their patent. It's exploitation,

I'm not sure that a headline containing a tiny bit of hyperbole required a semantics lesson. We all know that the laws of physics are safe and in tact.
