Would it make sense to just blackhole the rlcdn.com domain?

in hosts file: 127.0.0.1 rlcdn.com

Or is there a way for pfsense to filter that traffic maybe?

Ok, did anyone else notice the reference to "John Gault"? I know it is spelled slightly differently by Ayn Rand, but I found it amusing none the less. Probably just my brain miss-firing. lol

From the article:

"One farsighted man rose on the Convention's second day to ask that the gauge-size decision be reconsidered. He was John C. Gault, general manager of the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific, and he made some persuasive arguments:"

If it helps, this screenshot shows letter-spacing being pretty funky.

It must be due to something specific to this machine, as I don't see the issue elsewhere when using the same version of chrome.

BUG REPORT: Under Win7x64 with Chrome Ver 37.0.2062.103 m It looks like the kerning is borked in some instances: http://screencast.com/t/62mt8ipG0

Thank you. I missed that post.

Pardon my ignorance, (I don't mean to be dense here) but what the heck is this doing? It sounds like recompiling machine code into intermediate code. Is that a fair (if short and over simple) description?

Though the article implies it was source code, it was actually the code signing keys used to limit running code to only properly signed binaries.

No, I think he means the stick he used to partially rest his hand on. Remember, mirror and lens or not, it takes a LONG time to do that kind of detail work. If they really worked at that angle, I imagine your arm would get VERY tired, and the stick there might offer a bit of relief while working.

Would it be practical to use some kind of external clock? This might remove CPU temperature variations from the clock at least.

Not sure what makes people think it is illegal. Not supported, sure, but illegal? Is there a source for this statement?

I really like this idea a lot! Please continue, and I hope you release soon.

I'd throw 3 bucks at that! 8)

I really dig these scrapers, but most of them seem to only work well for simple sites as someone has already noted.

Just want to point out a (commercial but reasonable) program that really works well for all our odd edge case customer site issues.

I would like to recommend http://crashplan.com. It is set and forget online backup that keeps versions!

Inexpensive and truly unlimited storage. Windows, OSX, and Linux too!

This one is actually powered by RF transfer, so the power is all external.

This link explains it better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6g581tJ7bM#t=10m15s

I wanted to thank the poster for their work in transcribing this! I personally really appreciate it.

I REALLY dig doing this via github as well. I submitted a pull request with some spelling changes.

Preach it brother! 8)

I have been using Total Commander for YEARS and it is the first thing I load on a computer that does not already have it.

I get very tired of all the complaints about the age of a site or an article that makes it to the front page.

Please keep in mind, that not everyone starts reading HN when you did. Useful links remain so, and only take up one line on the list of links. Please don't detract from others discovering helpful links/articles.

Thanks for posting this wiradikusuma. 8)

Tim O'Reilly: Really, Google is making a comeback due to harassment

Ask HN: Does anyone actually code at a parole

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Seems very straight forward.

I have not tested it yet, but I wonder if the speed of render will penalize you in the google results. Seems like a separate machine with a good CPU might be worthwhile if you are going to run this.

I will say here, that I am one of those people that do not like OSX. My main issues are getting it to behave with the muscle memory I have developed over years of use with windows and linux machines. Home and End key behavior, actually quitting an application when closed, full-screen apps (though I understand this is fixed in recent OSX builds), and other minor annoyances keep me from fully embracing OSX. I understand that these are personal preferences, and not problems with OSX for the most part.

On the other hand, I REALLY like the idea of an app and all its dependencies being installed all in one folder. That REALLY needs to happen everywhere. This would make migration between installs SO much easier, and would eliminate DLL hell (or shared library hell in the case of linux).

Just my 2cents

Evernote does a really decent job with bullets.

Ctrl-M moves in a bullet level. Ctrl-Shift-M moves back.

I would love to check out your product, but it only runs on OSX. You might consider a port to drastically expand your potential client base.

Google's free offering is cross platform already.

At this point, I think you basically HAVE to assume it was NSA involvement. Most of the people who were considered paranoid before seem to have been underestimating things based on what we now know.

Though they do NOT allow multiple simultaneous connections, and are not as inexpensive.

I have LOTS of respect for people that make costumes!

lol, sorry could not resist the typo in the last sentence.

I think actually it was considered a scientific Theory. A theory in scientific terms is (I hope I get this correct) a hypothesis made from observable facts, that has stood up to many experiments that had potential to falsify it.

You basically just described part of what we call Science.

Interesting concept. I wonder if something like this is used for codeschool.com.

I would make the point that it might make sense to leave the initial price point low, and add plugins perhaps or a marketplace, and support options at higher price points.

You can sell the "infinite" (the bits) for low price (price IS different than value), and sell the "scarce" (your time on customized plugins, install time, training, etc...) for more, and the customer will often be very happy with this arrangement.

As well, this should get you more sales, and a larger community. This is an important point to consider, as an active community can often make or break a product like this.

As a side note, I am considering purchasing this for my own consulting use. At that price, it becomes almost an impulse buy. Thank you for making this an option!

Just my 2c.

That part set off my BS detector actually. The article claims some humans can detect it in 5 parts per TRILLION. Is that even POSSIBLE?
