Fun fact: Uranus is at 97+ degrees, making it almost perpendicular to the other planets axis

I am wondering the same thing. I have HN RSS in Google Reader. If I liked the post, I will click the comments link which takes me here. I will then upvote. Doesn't make a lot of sense if I have to go out to the front page and search for it (if its even there) to get the upvote to count.

I believe you can go the Android SDK route on *nix

Why is this on Hacker News?

If a bubble pops before the soap leaves the wand, does it make a sound?

I don't understand why everyone assumes any and all spying the NSA does is used against US citizens. None of these articles ever mention USSID 18. Why is that?

Nice try, GrubWithUs

... and nobody will get access to your passwords (again)

TIL Amazon has its own version (local.amazon.com)

I thought infinity is infinity; no varying degrees.

How is this different from saying counting to infinity with integers is smaller than counting with floats?

I think what Apple did was right. They used the USC to take down images of people that were taken in an Apple store by Apple computers. If someone saw their image on his blog/project/whatever and was upset about it, they would go after Apple and not the artist. So they were covering their own butts. At the same time, they know he found a flaw and there was no damage done. Therefore, no reason to seek further prosecution.

Country music / nationalism / "America! Fuck yeah!"

I assume AT&T sees even a small price being too much. Better to inconvenience the users.

With Flash blocker enabled, there is zero indication of what this really is.

I guess I can understand the bit about not wanting to pay for data overages when downloading over 3G/4G. But why not offer a wifi option instead of forcing the use of bloatware?

On Dec 21, 2012, Voyager I will officially leave the solar system and the heliosphere. It will instantly smack into a holographic sheet wrapped around us by the aliens who visited the Mayans. This sheet is the false projection of the rest of the universe. They show everything as distant and empty so we won't investigate. But Voyager I defeats their ruse. And so, the aliens decide we know too much and wipe us out before creating a new solar system rat maze for the next species in line.

I was hoping for a longer article on WebSockets and SPDY than that. :(

While I agree with his points, this is yet another rant with no solutions.

I wouldn't blanket blame the teachers/etc because a lot of students feel if they don't get it right away, they dismiss it out of hand and don't give it much effort after that. Prof Hawking can't teach a 3yr old long division.

The point was not to put GD out of business, it was to show that the internet is serious in its opposition to SOPA and their supporters. Media outlets have picked up and reported on this, and GD has changed their stance. Mission Accomplished XD
