So what reasons are there to use flash over HTML5, I ask myself and the HN crowd? -Video. (Mwoah, only non-WebM video, can't really count this one) -Webcam (thanks garethsprice) -Simultaneous sounds (thanks AndyJPartridge) -Cros

Genesis 6:3 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. AFAIK, all people in recent history (<3000 years) claiming to be aged over 120 ye

Android and Chrome will revive the netbook. They are free (as in beer) OSes, and run with very minimal hardware. As such, devices having one of both OSes will be the OLPC replacement. As the third world has either very old or no computer, t

Handy. So I only need to make a pic of the key, and then send it to an online service, wait a day, and go wild in someone's house/company. Which by the way, won't be covered by insurance because there are no signs of burglary.

These are no icons whatsoever. These are high resolution images with way too much detail to be ever used as icons.

Even in the 'normal way' theft is not the same as taking something or copying something. Maybe a lot of interpretations of taking/copying are labelled theft; it does not mean the term theft is used correctly. In this case, I would argue tha

Theft means you take something away. You don't take something away when you copy the execution. As such, it cannot be theft. The counterargument that you take away revenue is hypothetical at best, and still not taking something physical dir

One of the reasons why I have not visited Facebook since about a year now. I do not want to hand over control of my life to some company feeling fit to do with my data what they want at any time.

Every new web technology will be littered with security vulnerabilities. That's inherent to new technologies. The article does not make it clear for me what _inherent_ problems exist with regarding to security and WebGL. Web workers can be

It gets better: "To get started, you will need to begin reading one or more of the Lojban Books" Seriously. A Book.

Every number is special. Every number has something on where you can apply rules to, and thus makes it special. Is there a database containing all the numbers and a list of atributes that make them special?

What a complete nonsense. The industry moves in certain directions, and everyone is inspired by everyone else. Because there is a thriving legal industry, they call iit "stealing ideas" and "copying". There is no such thing as original desi

This is why Inconsolata beats every font. Because there's a 'mistake' in it, and it can be fixed because of the licensing. This stuff gets me very excited.

You beat me. That quote striked me, too. I'm not sure if it's doublespeak or logic. Is the MPAA above America's laws when it pays congressman to vote for specific law proposals? Or is it logic that no one should be above the law, even if la

I think the "File" menu is there because since everyone is used to it, it is expected. Other then that, I don't see a list of files, but I do see a list of documents. Subtle difference, big impact. A document is a file (however, I doubt eve
