They are kind of different beasts. Linode can spin servers up and down rather quickly and you can deploy different OS's all through the online menu.

Prgmr you buy a machine send an ssh key they set it up and send you the bill. Then you get a login console at xxxxxx.prgmr.com and login and setup a user or deploy your own OS using centos recovery. But you can't create and destroy servers like linode or aws or rackspace.

For those interested in this they might also check out underscores theme by Automattic[1].

Bones is an okay starter but if feels like a more thrown together bundling of the latest and greatest of the web development trends (320andup, sass/less, html5boilerplate) than a functional starter theme. But at least it follows the wordpress coding guidelines unlike roots[2].

Question for those who understand open source licenses can this theme even be licensed under the WTFPL considering that it uses wordpress provided functions like (get_header and wp_enqueue_styles)?

I was gonna make a similar comment. All the themes I see are geared to be anti comment because of the lack of distinction in colors.

Right now I use the Tomorrow Night theme which seems to be okay but I would prefer to have a good light color scheme (the longest I ever used one was Espresso Soda theme).

The iphone doesn't zoom like the android browser and makes hacker news more difficult to use in portrait mode. (Tiny text and tiny buttons)

Using a good registrar is key but you also want to separate host from registrar because you want to keep your content.

It is a much more common case to change hosts than it is to change registrars.

But even if you lose your domain name somehow through a bad registrar your content can also hold a lot of value and though you would take a big hit by changing domain names for a lot of sites (like blogs and other content heavy types) content is key.

See the recent incident with cyanogenmod the move to .org went rather well until the .com was given back and not having a separate host can make it so you don't even need to restore from backups/setup a new environment.

Scraping content isn't bad if you aren't redistributing it, technically your web browser is scraping content in the same sense.

http://paulgraham.com/robots.txt doesn't disallow robots from reading the essays.

Well I don't think people spend enough time on the toilet to justify an extra cost (save maybe IBS and toilet readers/surfers).

And right now toilets are fully functional for most people, mine aren't uncomfortable to me and are easy to clean and most repairs can be done quite easily yourself. Adding technology to that sounds like trouble and would likely require calling out a plumber to fix things.

Fonts that are not native always seem to have issues for me on Windows if they are not big enough.

The best option is usually to use a native font like Calibri or some of the many other fonts that windows comes with or increase the size of the font quite a bit.

The font your using looks kind of bad to me on my linux box because it seems more geared towards headings and larger font sizes because of how condensed it is.

You may want to consider one of the more used but good looking fonts like PT Sans or Open Sans

If you don't have something like a lock code it is pointless because then you have nothing to lock the encryption with.

The iphone works with its lock code.

I pay the monthly fee for my dsl modem because it comes with insurance and if the box breaks, which they seem to do, I don't eat the $100 dollar or more fee for a new one, the phone company ships one.

Now it really depends on how it is done but when I had comcast I did the same thing and I was always able to get someone on the line to replace it on their dime because of the monthly fees. Granted I never have had a hurricane blow through an office I think most of the time they are willing to work with you.

I don't know if there is existing solutions to this but my favorite example of a good way to do it is the defcon style with picture in picture:

I'll give you feedback since you ask.

- Up the font size on your blog, I can't read it without zooming in considerably.

- Try to actually explain, giving examples help, what the different security parts do rather than quickly explaining, this blog post feels as if it were written up in 15 minutes to sell your product rather than being informative

- Don't be afraid to use markup other than anchor and paragraph tags, for this article using subheadings for the 3 types of security would make the article easier to follow (remember people love to skim).

Probably because your blog post reads like spam, it is pretty much devoid of content.

The only cross-compatible apps (other than things like browsers) I've worked with are matlab and mathematica and although they had some differences between windows they both performed well on any linux version I was on from Slackware to Ubuntu provided underlying libraries (libc) existed in the right place.

This is actually a good reason to avoid styling id's as they take precedence over classes in styling.

I'm not confused I use newsblur like an app but it is behind a landing page when not logged in (https://newsblur.com/). There are plenty of other examples, otherwise it would be quite hard to get new users to your service as they can't find what your app is about.

For disk encryption and keepass databases I like to go with full sentence but odd passphrases.

Like:

    Cats and cows eat 200 tables a day.
    
    The grape is 14 shades of orange.

You put them behind a landing page/login barrier like any other app.

I don't even know how you can justify the "only detrimental to poor kids."

It is far more an effect of the parents and household than it is economics of the house.

And that of the school hours is kind of wrong when you reach high school because that is when children take the bus or ride with friends with cars and drivers licenses.

Hours for school where I went (in the US):

    Elementary:    8:30am - 3:10pm
    Middle School: 8:20am - 3:00pm
    High School:   7:30am - 2:20pm

There is a huge difference in the high school, especially in bus in areas where buses come at anywhere from 6-6:45am. This isn't an issue caused by parent schedules or you would see similar times for middle and elementary school.

No topic downvote only comment downvote (which I think is around 500).

Closest you get is flag which happens at around 20 karma and reduces the staying power of a post.

Judging by the url you are running wordpress, so you'll most likely need caching and if you're running apache you might consider turning KeepAlive off while you are getting hammered.

Rocketships are insane, there has to be many many fail safes because failures happen all the time. I remember a NASA engineer giving a talk on engineering safety when I was going to school where he said that the probability of catastrophic failure in NASA's launches is 1 in 100 and that is as low as they are able to make it at this point in time.

Proportional fonts seem to work for me in ST2 (http://i.imgur.com/ZLZWP.png) I just put this into the config:

    "font_face": "Verdana"

Though I may be missing something.

Flagging is considerably lower, this account can flag comments and submissions so I think ~20 karma is required to flag.

No but modern browsers have geolocation and google has pretty extensive geolocation data.

Meh that is bullshit. What makes that more acceptable than calling someones dress thuggish because it appears similar to what all the gang members you went to school with wore?

Experience doesn't get to dictate racism.

All new accounts no longer have a public folder.

Except that Dropbox has now discontinued their public folders in exchange for there get link everywhere (which requires you to click add to dropbox or a download button rather than direct access).

Is there a problem with the current format lacking definition?

I thought the major factor for listening quality was listening equipment rather than the actual format (as the quality on cds is rather good).

Sounds like you need a drawer.
