adamman··on Microsoft ditching the Nokia name on smartphones
Nokia got lazy. They saw the iPhone and didn't change course until it was too late. If anything, Microsoft kept them above ground.
adamman··on Microsoft ditching the Nokia name on smartphones

Fasting reminds him of what true hunger is and therefore avoids eating throughout the week when he is not truly hungry.
adamman··on Let's change the HN title bar to #663399
#663399Becca would be even better.

Edit: I was thinking page title. #663399 as the color for the header would be really nice too.

adamman··on Source code from the book “HTML5 Game Engines”
I agree. It would be much better if the keydown vars were set to false on an actual keyup event rather than setting it to false after the paddle is moved.
adamman··on Source code from the book “HTML5 Game Engines”
Yes, seeing as you can't really create much of an engine with just the DOM.
adamman··on Comcast is turning your Xfinity router into a public Wi-Fi hotspot
With all the hate that is going around right now for ISPs, it amazes me that they would roll something out like this.

adamman··on QEMU 2.0.0 Released
QEMU (short for "Quick EMUlator") is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization. QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor: It emulates central processing units through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of device models, enabling it to run a variety of unmodified guest operating systems. It also provides an accelerated mode for supporting a mixture of binary translation (for kernel code) and native execution (for user code), in the same fashion as VMware Workstation and VirtualBox do. QEMU can also be used purely for CPU emulation for user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one architecture to be run on another.

It's classic reverse psychology.

Yes (you are a bad person)
adamman··on MLB.com is using my Google Analytics code
Because he included his google analytics code in the plugin that he made available to the world.
adamman··on Hack Isn't PHP
Laughing at the word sexchange is a little insensitive to people who have had a sexchange.
