He's actually quite magnanimous about Apple (though the opposite isn't true) - I've read a few nice comments about Apple from Bill Gates. I guess he doesn't feel he needs to prove anything anymore (which doesn't seem to be the case of Steve

In a similar vein, but a little less OTT, you could check out Ross Enamait's site: http://www.rosstraining.com/ It's a pretty good all-round fitness 'program' of sorts, or perhaps more of a collection of exercises, and much less prescript

I sense sarcasm - much more than is usually acceptable in Economist articles (I was checking to see whether it was a blog post!)

they seem to see it as their mission to make sure no one else uses it I don't think they necessarily do - they're just saying what they think, but then other people read it and get annoyed (justifiably.) That's the thing with blogs, the e

It is, and it isn't funny, or clever. Flagged for stupidity.

That's a pretty depressing story, but very powerful, too, and a very effective counterbalance.

It seems to me that the incentive to innovate is rather low without IP protection...

Perhaps you missed the several times that I said I did not make that choice I didn't miss you saying that, but I also noticed that you replied to my original post with an unequivocal answer - so you don't support doing it, but you also th

Interestingly, I've been having a similar discussion with someone here at HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658355 I agree with the author that it isn't acceptable to launch DDoS attacks on Iranian state sites, and then complain abo

Cool - I wish I had the discipline (and time, but really discipline) to do this.

Their relationship was sunk, but the company survived - that's the important things taken care of at least!

Quite right, thanks :-)

Still, I’m tired of being sold the story of someone’s life, when it’s their work that will impact mine. This sentence did it for me - I definitely agree. There's a tendency to focus on life stories these days, and they're given the same i

on the surface they said "we won't support", but what they actually meant was "we'll break it next version". How do you know that?

Hmm, I do kind of see the point he's trying to make though - 'Fail' seems to be like a fratboy in-joke, the kind of thing that's OK to shout out because it's funny, but that is actually a little thoughtless and sometimes cruel. The tabloid

According to the article, 'Morro' may be the name of a beach in Brazil, but it also means 'Moor' in Spanish. That's certainly what I first thought of when I saw the article - the Moors were certainly ferocious warriors, but I'm not sure tha

No bombast intended. Chill out. / perhaps the next time you hear it you'll get it. Contradictory? Look I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings You didn't - but you still didn't answer my question. What makes it OK for you to hijack Iranian

Your question might have been rhetorical, but it was inane. I didn't think it was, but I'm once again surprised by the arrogance and self-righteousness of your statement. I thought that this kind of bombast had no place here, but perhaps

Actually, it could equally be called 'Misguided'.

What makes it right for you to take down an Iranian government website, but wrong for someone in Iran to take down a US government website, or for someone in China to take down the Dalai Lama's website?

And along the same line, if Google can't afford to pay them, then who can?

by zcrar70 17y ago
And quite right too - if artists have to keep give their artwork away for free to get exposure (which is what they're usually told is the main benefit of giving their work away for free), who's ever going to pay them?

Live CDs will still boot slower than full installs, because accessing the CD is a lot slower than accessing the HDD. I'm wondering whether the boot time for Live CDs will be fast enough to avoid displaying the progress bar, or whether they
