People just cannot seem to grasp this. I moved to Cambridge, UK for work and despite my salary being more than 30% higher than it was before, my quality of life is lower and I'm st…

Are you getting confused with trademarks? When has an entity "lost copyright" due to not enforcing it?

It's amazing how the moment a post about women comes up on hacker news all logic goes out the window. Perfectly sensible comments based on simple, real-life experience like this on…

How are you able to post but not able to read? I'm not "defending men", I'm pointing out how absurd the comment above is. Care to actually tell me why I'm wrong?

It's nothing to do with not invented here. It's just not my itch, so why should I scratch it? If you want someone else to scratch your itch you have to pay them. My point is only t…

Oh, yeah, my mistake.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is. I spend much of my life in emacs and it has a very similar thing called the kill-ring.

X has the manual clipboard as well, though. It's always worked for me. Do you have any specific examples of where it fails? > is a totally solved problem on Mac OS X. It's solved t…

I think you mean the growth of that set as d goes to half circumference. The absolute size increases up to the area of the sphere.

Linux (really X Windows) has the best clipboard: select text to "copy", middle click to "paste".
