This is sad. There is no proof that this person was the one who stole the phone (Of course, there is no proof that he wasn't). I wont tell you what to do, but I would never do some…

And we need people like Richard Stallman to provide a contrast. That said, I think the guy provided a fair article on how things might turn out based on how they are currently prog…

I've been working on a project like this that's nearing completion (it works, and the api is mostly complete). It differs from this in that it uses any normal browser to fulfill re…

The prevalent attitude here is worrying. As a non-american, I think diversifying and spreading the production (and knowhow) of technology is a good thing, in pretty much the same w…

> If I'm manipulated into buying something that I genuinely want, then I'd be happier for it. But do you genuinely want it? or were you _influinced_ into wanting it? It's the same …

If a person is well understood and their actions can be predicted, they can be manipulated. The real question is: why aren't you?

> unless companies get to protect real IP that they develop themselves, what's the point in developing anything. To make money. Companies (and people) have been developing new tech…

no, it doesn't. You just haven't played long enough for a another piece to become a worse than the one you're playing. Also, it's possible to finish a line using one piece (multipl…

Voice recognition has always been patchy or non-existent for languages other than English, and it's a deal breaker for something that relies _primarily_ on voice for input. That's …

> and by holding the patent you ensure that no one else uses it against you. A - Wouldn't they be protected due to f.lux being prior art? B - Would a competitor be able to get a pa…

Youtube seems to be pushing these recommendations on me as well. The funny thing is that "normal" recommended videos are usually preceded by the message "Recommended for you becaus…

Doesn't this create a conflict with other copyright laws such as the one related with the night lighting of the Eiffel Tower? Who owns the copyright to such photos? And on a relate…

It's clear from your comment that you are against the ruling and the man's actions, but calling him "clown" doesn't add anything and, in some cases, takes away from any point you'r…

What did Huawei do to become a security threat? I fail to see how Huawei can be any more of a security threat than companies such as Broadcom or Cisco. If Huawei has indeed acted i…

wouldn't it simply be obtaining software via unofficial means rather than piracy since he already paid for it?

What AMD and intel don't seem to realize is that people like me have no qualms moving to platforms that do support linux (Even if we end up using a raspberry pi to do our main comp…

what about people like me who can't or wont pay the 5$ webstore fee? I suppose the only option left for me (and people like me) is to do what mrng suggested and instruct users to d…

reminds me of a similar "ban" that happened in my country several years ago with the aim of discouraging students from wasting their time. the object of the banning, however, was t…

one of the few things I've been searching for is oneko.js. seeing this, I have new found hope. as for clippy, it would be more entertaining if it made suggestions when someone type…

I may be naive in asking this, but WHY? Why is being "purely functional" an advantage for package managers?

"discuss and decide what is true and what is BS"?!! Do you honestly think that truth needs to be discussed and decided? The man - as much as I dislike him and his behavior - got it…

that's why we need something like the gpl for toss. this way, we know EXACTLY what the terms are without reading the whole thing.

This makes some sense if they are truly worried about national security, but Australia shouldn't limit its doubts to Chinese technology since any country can in theory (this includ…
