In regards to the 180 degree spin, this demonstration shows exactly the opposite of what you say. At about 1:34 (elevator in portal 2) he performs a 180 with a single swipe from le…

That is not true. The people who contributed the original Shunway code own the copyright to it. They are choosing to license it under Apache. You cannot change that since you do no…

Doubtlessly he's bemoaning the lack of support for linux. I would also like linux support, but it still looks like an impressive suite regardless.

> I don't fully understand why It's pretty simple - Apple owns the hardware and software they're pushing updates for. Sure, they don't own the carriers, but that's not the problem.…

If you trust distrowatch's pagehits then yes, it's significantly beating/overtaking ubuntu. http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity

SpiderOak does have one problem. It has no arm build for linux (and they apparently have no plans to make one soon). If you frequently use a Raspberry Pi or linux on an arm Chromeb…

I personally use keepass and keepassx (the alpha compatible with keepass2.x) and sync my passwords with SpiderOak. That's worked pretty well for me, and I don't actually have to tr…

https://github.com/clvv/fasd I used to use z, but I've since switched to fasd. It's much like z, but also so much better. In addition to being able to do "z " you can do "f ". So, …

Vertical space on linux? That's simply not true. Exhibit 1: The default firefox and chromium running on my linux (ubuntu, i3wm). http://i.imgur.com/paE173H.png . 6 pixels by defaul…

I've always felt ghostery is the poor-man's noscript. If he wants to know about all external calls (which he presumably does) then noscript will actually do that while ghostery wil…

I believe that there is an even more important practical issue. What if someone manages to embed something very much like the EICER string[0] in it? How many people do you think wo…

This is a bad idea. I believe that hn actually will weight every comment you make based on your total karma to a degree. I've certainly heard people make anecdotal claims that if t…

Well, the "Featured Systems" tab conveniently lists the GPU. It happens to be a GeForce GTX 645 on the cheap end and a GTX 660 on the high end. A 660 costs roughly $200. In additio…

This is windows 7. Notice that neither of them are maximized. The behavior you talk about only occurs when you maximize the window, not when it is "half-maximized" as shown.

Chrome's UI is also completely and totally inflexible. As you can see in this screenshot, http://i.imgur.com/D8rMRBa.png , my firefox's UI takes up less space and is only two rows.…

The article's title is misleading. I read the linked study (pdf and prweb summary of results) and found nothing to support that they are the "Most Trusted Internet Company"... In f…

They also give you +1GB per referral which is quite big. It's a little unethical, but you could invite yourself a couple times to double the storage space. Or get actual referrals.…

I do hope this is a joke. "some fancy acronym like AES"... I can't tell if this is a failed attempt to be funny through saying something so ridiculously stupid or if you're serious…

Use SpiderOak[0] then. They assure strong zero-knowledge privacy and, while the client isn't technically open source, much of it is completely unobfuscated python. I definitely tru…

Not at all. This offers a completely different solution than java. With java, you write once and run on everything. This lets you write C# on OS X, but it won't compile and run on …

Honestly, bubble sort isn't that bad. Couple years ago I had a fairly simple program which collected some data into a linked list and displayed it at the end. It took about 2 secon…

>MU was the hub of piracy on the net I'd like a source for that. I believe TPB is and was in that position. I also believe that rapidshare and all those other sites had a similar a…

>If apple not patenting things, someone other does... No, not at all. Patents are only granted if there's no prior art and as such if apple uses anything (such as slide to unlock) …

You are incorrect. It does not bypass adblock on firefox. Yes, the ad shows, but that's because it does not trigger any of firefox's blocking rules (assuming Fanboy's list. I didn'…
