My thoughts exactly. But, then again, I'd have to think that the people law enforcement is seeking aren't all that bright to begin with. Even if they used the software, they'd like…

Indeed, because it's pattern based - it does not automatically assume that the adult is "smarter", but that any person whose communications are too far off the normal curve will, p…

Can I get my nickel, please? I was promised one every time the phrase "they're selling an /experience/" was uttered.

bookmarking, delicious-ing, resending to ( / spamming) all my friends and family .... ddg rules and this finally puts my pov into nice, simple, pretty pictures. W00t!

Congratulations on being the only person in this thread with two feet on the ground. Interesting discussion, nonetheless. But purely academic.

There are lots of things you can do - many of them depend on exactly who you are (ie. what jobs you're applying for as well as the experience you have), and some on the specific po…

I find this a very interesting topic. Character sets and their encodings are usually completely invisible to the end user, and often even to the engineers working on the system. Bu…

I wouldn't argue with the notion of Jobs being "delicate", that's for sure. And, apparently same goes with the feelings of the HN crowd toward all things Apple.

TRWTF is that it took Jobs and Apple's thousands of employees how many years to notice this? Either that, or his answer is pure BS and has nothing to do with why Apple made this de…

I agree. I think HN is becoming a victim of it's own success, and it's UI wasn't built to scale. (aside - that's a challenge to all you folks interested in ux ;) ). I would say tha…

I was expecting this to be about editing your hosts file or subscribing to an alt dns service. Fail.

Haters gonna hate, bro! I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation as to why TechCrunch and other industry insiders are swooning over their newest darling startup. I'm sure it has n…

I wondered what exactly was being measured here too. I checked around the site quickly but found no answers. Bah. Might as well be made up numbers as far as I'm concerned.

The tests for BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been around for decades. Here in Evil Socialist Canada, our governments have been paying the patent holders for this genetic test $200 a pop and …

I hate url shorteners too, for all the reasons the author lists and more. But the article is wrong in stating "They serve no purpose other than to create a short link..." Actually,…

If you buy a copy of a copyright-able work, you are a licensee. The "copyright holder" is the person who owns the legal ability to specify and grant the rights under which the work…

"I make sure websites work."

I've long used jEdit as my text editor of choice for coding html, perl and php. jEdit is pretty much just another in its class that will give you syntax highlighting, regex search …

Yeah, I agree with your overall point. In general, a sign of mediocrity in any field is someone who over-uses jargon in any field. As much as I hear people throw around "design pat…

I wasn't sure whether to upvote this article, until I got to this line: > Design patterns are a universal language that few people speak, a sort of Esperanto for programmers. Exact…

Daggy, eh? I'm always learning new words from you Aussies... this one, I think I like! :D

At the risk of sounding like a troll, that's because iP[hone|ad] users aren't as interested in reading. Apple's niche has always been with the visual, not the verbal, crowd.
