Why do you think GPL is hostile to freedom? Could you elaborate please?

Out of curiosity what part of the Disconnect's source code is obfuscated?

Two days later and this article doesn't exist. So much for link rot.

Small talk is extremely important to build relationships.

See the book The Relationship Cure. They analyzed the interactions of tens of married couples and found a correlation between relationship hapiness and what they started to call "bids" - frequency of any contact made and the response of the other partner. Small talk was an important part of the bidding.

Don't underestimate small talk.

What reason is there for the capacity not being 128, 256, 512GB?

I switched from MS Office to LibreOffice for lightweight document work and I'm very satisfied with it.

I see no advantage in web-based office suites. LibreOffice + Dropbox is all our small office needs.

Do you know a good non-USA based web analytics?

We're using Google Analytics and GetClicky.com right now, both from the USA.

It will be called Piston.

The demo unit of Piston features one ethernet port, 1/8" audio in/out, SPDIF optical audio, four USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports (with one dedicated to keyboard input), four eSATAp ports, two Mini Display Port ports and one DisplayPort/HDMI port.

It will probably cost between $500 and $1000.

Edit: for those who haven't heard of Xi3 before like me, this promotional video shows what it's about:

Can you offer a paid version? And could you please revolutionize PGP usability so that my grandmother can use it?

A luddite talking:

Just today I looked for a new phone to replace my 11 year old Samsung C35. I'm only replacing it because I swapped the battery 4 times already and unfortunately the battery doesn't last more 3 days anymore.

My requirements were: No touchscreen, classic phone keyboard, no camera and no 3G/4G/Wifi.

Samsung E1200 for 20$, here I come. The reviews are great, it runs nearly 3 weeks without recharging and weighs 65g. It can do exactly the three things I need: Call, SMS, Alarm.

Now to get rid of the iPad.

Use at your own risk. On our website it brought a lot of small unanticipated errors in the user interface that we only uncovered slowly.

It didn't work in IE8 out of the box. Some users reported they had to double tap very fast on iPad to actually activate any link (I couldn't reproduce it on my iPad). On some older Android devices it made links and menus behave erratically.

In the end we disabled FastClick completely.

There is also "AdBlock" (without the "plus") that I use. I don't know the difference between them.

Let's have a look at the immoral gameplay checklist:

Timed energy: Check

Triple Town is free to play forever. Eventually, you will run out of moves, but they replenish for free if you wait a while, and you can also buy more moves with free coins that you earn in-game.

Incentivized ads in-game: Check (wrong for both the player and the advertiser)

Update: we've added a 2-minute mode that you can play free, forever, as much as you want, by watching advertisements in between play sessions.

This is the real price of the game:

If you want to eliminate the move counter altogether, there is a one-time fee for lifetime unlimited moves.

Sorry to be blunt, but make a game with real value - not a casual puzzle game with a limited move energy - and the players will buy it.

For some nice mobile packaged games see Avernum and Avadon, Silversword, Mission Europa or The World Ends With You and Ghost Trick.

Why should the US marijuana have a higher THC content than the Mexican one? Can't Mexican plantations grow the stronger type? Or is there a difference in the agricultural process that influences the THC content?

I don't understand this part of the article.

Happened to me as well with starting Opera. I felt as if my most loved uncle slammed the door in front of my face.

I only loaded so many pages because I love HN. :)

The ban was lifted a few days later, not sure if automatically or thanks to my (unresponded) email request.

I welcome this new type of device - a small touchscreen with an optional keyboard (and a mouse?) - warmly. But I would like the future to happen with open systems, not some US corp acting as a gatekeeper for all my content.

Also an interesting information: there are two versions of IE. How and why should the user choose which one is more appropriate? Will the locked down version be default?

Another solution to this is a password manager, eg Keepass. It still centralizes your identity under one roof, in the encrypted DB, but only locally.

Spot the differences:

2007 - Internet Brands purchases Jelsoft, creator of the succesful vBulletin forum SW

2009 - IB starts selling vB 4.0 despite it being not finished and buggy. Customers are angry

2010 - Internet Brands sues Kier Darby, a lead developer of XenForo, who had previously served as a lead developer for Internet Brands' vBulletin, claiming that Kier had not returned confidential information from Internet Brands regarding the vBulletin software

2012 - After not having fulfilled the promises of vB4, IB introduces vB5. The beta version meets with horror and disgust of the current customers. No serious forum plans to upgrade.

2013 - The once mighty forum's future is as well as dead.

Tor is meant for dissidents and the oppressed, that's all fine and cool. But for me as a business community admin Tor always, always means trouble. Either the user using it is a scammer, a fraud or in the best case only a troll.

In the whole EU the customer can return items purchased online up until X days since the purchase arrival where X varies by country. There are some exceptions like digital items, custom made ware, DVDs etc. Check your local laws.

What's the store's purpose then if you have to go online while being physically present to get more product info?

Was there no knowledgeable staff? No product flyers/labels?

They can print A/B versions of flyers and collect them upon entry. No QR needed for this kind of measuring. :)

You're just redefining the meaning of trolling. It's nothing else than being a prick, hidden behind an online pseudonym.

It's not some secret handshake, nor a well meaning fun poking.

Is the number of work hours really what you want to increase?

Hey Shawn, that's interesting. I was just thinking about a similar solution with a JS widget we're creating for our users to embed on their websites.

I have an improvement suggestion. If the client supplies their own condition, like in your example waiting for a specific element to be loaded, what about (optionally) disabling the check once onload happens?

As it is, a rogue condition check could run indefinitely.

I like the metaphors in your comment but cannot imagine anything specific. What do you mean with the layers that support each other?

The numbers are per-account, not summed up.

That's pretty much how it works in Central Europe, with the difference that 10% and more goes for great service.

I came here with that question in mind. What's the difference to the already battle-tested TortoiseGit? GitHub for Win obviously works with other hosting services, that's fine, but is it better?
