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 co…

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.

It's a .png file of the code...

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…

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 …

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 m…

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. …

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 ch…

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 gi…

Nitpick: It's not drag friction as much it was compressive heating. I suppose if you can avoid the compression, it wouldn't be as much of an issue...

Not even. My canon 7D murders my free account (at 10 gigs free...)... an hour of leisurely snapping pics can take a whole gig

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... Per…

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 …

> I think Facebook as a company is in a strong position. Just curious, but I'd like to hear your opinion on why this is the case, vs all the naysayers that are betting against the …

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 …

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 happene…

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 …

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 b…
