It's not meant to be a competitor to JSTOR, as much as this is a statement in honor of someone. A framework like that would be awesome, but that has a different meaning from the collection of personal pdf posts/uploads each individual on Tw

Speaking of which, how is the KHTML (not webkit) code now?

Heh. Judging from the URL of this post, it might be Half Life 3.

I don't see what's going on. Anyone care to explain/give some context?

Does this work? There's a lot of removed code in that commit, does this replicate the old behavior?

Are we seriously considering otherwise? Obviously the PR department managed it. Obama seems pretty lighthearted, so he has a bit of leeway in responding wittily, but much of it has to be planned.

They're not meant to do anything other than exist. It's used as a low end way to make a PC actually have a graphics card, you know, that can display Microsoft Word prettily enough with Aero. That's what Intel cards started out as. Moving fo

That's the worst MBA vs Real life thinking ever. I hope the actual investors aren't nearsighted enough to think that kicking Zuck out will make facebook's stock value improve. As much as everyone loves to hate on facebook, it's not going an

No. 1080p is 16:9, or 1920 by 1080.

I don't find it unusual. He's building rapport with a reader base by referencing american pop culture, and possibly knowing that many linkbait-y blogs will jump on this as a hook. Nothing too weird, but imo more of a way to bring publicity

No love for Berkeley? I would argue that if you were a perspective student reading USWNR, simply due to proximity to the silicon valley makes the average student get much better chances at jobs and experience in tech.

I'd suppose that if the stock is worth $20, and becomes $20 after a few months, the employees don't really care. It's the independent investors who were shafted for the most part.

Let's get another definition. This one is from wikipedia: Proprietary software is computer software licensed under exclusive legal right of the copyright holder. The licensee is given the right to use the software under certain conditions,

I have an AeroFS account. Never use it; their client is slower than molasses, takes up a ton of RAM, and frequently spikes my CPU. This is on both windows and linux machines... Personally, Dropbox + 20mb truecrypt volume for more sensitive

I do wonder a bit, how will this blurring of the laptop/tablet line affect their cash cow, Microsoft Office? The business world is trained to believe: they NEED office, and office == productivity. The iPad, long without these apps, challeng

You know what? YOU are the problem. The reddit type who feeds off drivel. A website might be popular because it is good, but do not ever conflate that something is good because it is popular. HN still has not fallen into the pit of content

Because LinkedIn can monetize a lot easier than facebook can.

Yes you can, provided the belt loop is big enough.

This is fallicious. Anyone can register for an account. Knowing someone is on HN only gives enough information, that said person is in the 'HN demographic'. Just because he happened to register for an account, vs someone similar who didn't,

I agree with this statement. If someone invested in my service and something else who competed with mines, this doesn't represent an ethical problem, but just that the investor is interested in the field in general.

This is hard if the developers on question are unwilling to do so. A somewhat parallel in the whole VLC iphone app not meeting the GPL fiasco comes to mind... They pulled the app because some dev complained. Then again, a corporation with d

You're thinking in the wrong terms. Is the Instagram brand worth less than 1% of Facebook? Also, I see hordes of high school and college females- especially the 'popular' ones with iphones- using instagram. When you have possibly the best t

Honestly, in the tech industry, a 25 P/E ratio is yawned at.

That might be possible to implement, actually. Just like how clicking on facebook spotify 'listen with' links now plays the song in the _spotify_ app, there may be a way on the server to control what the client does...
