Yes. Its such a lame end for "the story of Mojang". Let's see how long it takes for the word "mojang" to be forgotten. Lego is still called Lego, and Pixar still hasn't yielded its…

Agreed, asshole :) (or was it the other way around ?) Holly Ass, Twitter, by essence is an assholy thing. What can you expect from someone who has "3500 friends" or "50 000 followe…

We need more user friendly tools regarding online privacy. In this regard (not talking about devs who fully understand and use GPG on a daily basis),... Email is broken. Most peopl…

This is the LOL of the day :) I almost dropped my post PC device laughing out quite loud. Twighlight-scale drama. A Keeper.

+1. Totally agree on the "not a good backup solution". But we both (obviously) know the difference between redundancy and backup. My poor mum does not. So in the end, that's a prob…

Thoughts ? Well, ...We (supposedly) live in a free country. Analogy: When one fucks his/her neighbor's wife/husband (no, just kidding, nobody ever does that IRL), one at least draw…

Very interesting project. Since I watched the "what happened to the cryptodream" video, I have finally begun to understand that we need more tools like yours or say Wickr (closest …

I share your feeling. We are at a loss what to do as a society, and what's more, we're most likely more at a loss than people were in very structured societies of the past (not tha…

Yup. There has to be some sort of control in any system (even a few anarchists agree on that). To further your/my/our point(s), you can read Bruce Schneier's latest "Crypto-Gram Ne…

Ok, you're my target cause this comment is so obviously being uttered by someone who hasn't studied history in his/her whole life... Jeez ! (whom i don't believe in btw) Hacker new…

Just for the record, French laws about "droits d'auteurs" and quotations allow you to quote any text under "droits d'auteur" as long as it remains a quotation (the definition of wh…

Haven't seen it mentionned a lot in comments, but it also happens that drugs are not the culprit. Your brain might be, or more largely your DNA. Drugs and alcohol are just ways (se…

"You can't loose what you don't have" Like privacy, like knowing you're being a product, like helping facebook, google and pals map you, your friends, your friend's dog,... Serious…

This is an amazing set of icons. I'll make sure I use them and credit you. Your giving this for free reminds me of the biggest problem Freelance artists/developers have : if one's …

And this is the top ranking comment ? Proof that hacker new is seriously loosing its shit. (Mayb we should call it startup news ?) Come one, go learn some history. At least the art…

What really bothers me on this project, is that all accounts of it i've read sofar (i don't have an insider's view, which might make me think different) is that it sounds like "let…

When you think of it, those two stories are the consequence of one huge problem. Globalization, and financial empires don't give a fuck about human beings. This poor mother in Chin…

This answer totally made my day. Excellent analogy.

Same here. Bitbucket for opensource things Stash for our firm's repos behind the firewall. And i have been using github for years, paid account, like others. Paid github vs Atlassi…

Cmon! All the High Education thing is about making Students work for their university for the time they're enroled, in exchange for knowledge, and insider's tips (yeah, i can intro…

You'll see, turning 40 is even worse ;)

Sure, only when it's your boss being racist, you don't have many other options than shut up or get fired. French white man here, apalled by 70% (yah, i did the math) of that whole …

And i do agree with that. (and Notch's new game too by the way!)

As a matter of fact, doing both, i think you can. But in my opinion, the question is more : does every single people on earth like programming enough to get into it, instead of get…

Yes that exactly, And also for Newton re-inventing the laws of diffraction back in 1672 when humans before that were just staring at rainbows like dumb elephants And also for Thale…
