That's not a new interpretation. It just hasn't got the same airtime because it's not as interesting. I heard this interpretation from a Mexican/Mayan 5 years ago. It's happened before in the Mayan calendar too. It just restarts again if I

Sorry but sexual assault is a very serious crime. Never mind the unusual circumstances of this particular case, your comment is insulting to sexual assault victims as it implies sexual assault is a lesser crime.

The app is a simple one which allows the user to find predicted passes of the ISS and details of the passes. It also allows the user to go into a AR-mode to show overlaid on the device's camera, the path of the pass and the current position

No but if you're caught with a hard drive full of pirated material AND the encryption keys for those releases then you're gonna have a hard time in court. The keys need not be government issued to prove you're responsible.

Why must community and business be mutually exclusive? Hint: they're not, and SO is both.

Maybe you could tell us what your app is? I tried looking to your blog without success. If I'd have found it you might have made another sale.

Not to mention they hold a large amount of the market at a critical period for lock-in to their ecosystem. If they can make xbox live provide enough compelling features that you lose when switching platforms then they'll keep the current us

I'm English too but totally support US sites blacking out in opposition to SOPA. It will affect the entire internet if the bill passes and may be used as a template for other countries (Note: I don't think HN blacking out will have much imp

Looks like great fun. I'm always tempted to have a go at things like this myself when I see reports like this. One day... One question. Did you choose the video cameras based on size or are did you assess the quality too? I've seen some pat

also while all analogies have problems the verbosity here introduces more complications. Technically the store isn't shut down it's only removed from the phonebook. At this point the analogy breaks down as that doesn't sound as drastic at

That is interesting. I'm sure I've read of planes doing a fly-by for the control tower to assess whether the landing gear is actually down or not in situations like this. Were there reasons something like this wasn't attempted in this case?

I would expect that eventually the safety of automated cars will far exceed current levels and therefore child car seats won't be required in the same way that no-one uses a car seat on a train (or even a bus actually, which is presumably m

Well I didn't know that US patent cases can be presented to a jury. I don't envy them on that considering the language these things are written in. I wonder how many hours are spent 'training' the jury in the legalese required to understand

Yeah I would love to see more of this type of analysis. It's really revealing and interesting.

I think John's point is that people are dismissing the actual allegations outright and assuming the conspiracy is true without any evidence at all. There's no evidence I'm aware of to back up the conspiracy. On the other hand the Swedes obv

Wow that is interesting regarding Twitter. It might be more useful longer term for customer engagement though? Do you think it is specific to your market to suffer from this or is it a wider problem?

I hope there's an override for auto-away. Imagine going away over Christmas and your pipes freeze because there has been no heating at all... Not a problem in California where this has been developed but a realistic problem in much of the

This is especially annoying as in days gone by if you added + to the query they'd show a message explaining that you don't need to use + as Google only returns results containing all the terms in your query. I wonder when they stopped doing

Maybe I'm missing something but how is this even arbitrage? If you were just putting the money into an interest bearing account and repaying before the interest rate kicked in then yes it would be arbitrage (if you could even beat the 3% fe
