    There is one problem with Ballmer being on Dancing with the Stars - he would have to dance with a partner...I think that's part of the rules. As we all know, Ballmer can only dance…

    Come on - you haven't seen Dexter? That's an ethical serial killer show. Your points are all well stated but he is quite funny ("nerdgasm"...come on). Otherwise - just add healthca…

    I keep having an image of Donald E. Graham hovering over Zuke and waiting for him to complete the article in long script and then handing it off to some flunky to be typed. Then Do…

    Well - if we take a big leap here and assume that one of WakeMate's founders is a mod and this person deleted the post then the policy is not so good. A possible approach is to all…

    Didn't know about this flag - thanks for pointing it out. As for the post - doesn't seem offensive at all. PG: Hacker News improvement suggestion: for any post that gets deleted - …

    Neat tool - thanks for creating it. One question - when I run it on my account there are 2 scans that never seem to return (it keeps saying "scanning"). The scans are: - scanning p…

    I think they provided that but it just wasn't obvious from the current entry of their blog. Check this out: http://joindiaspora.com/2010/04/30/a-response-to-mr-villa.ht... What do …

    I heard this on my local TV news touting it as a new privacy measure...and then I found details via the link. What exactly does this have to do with privacy? It deals with someone …

    I think that your analogy is almost on the mark but it needs one little tweak: "It's like a bank building a safe with several feet of reinforced concrete on the top, bottom, and si…

    Really...so releasing in 3 months is not fast enough for you? If it was me, I'd want to work on it for 3 months and during that time - talk to other folks that are working on simil…

    I'm not sure that is correct - look at the web applications that use the AGPL license: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AGPL_web_applications It seems to me this would allow th…

    My take on this is that they want to take 3 to 4 months of complete focus on coding and design. If you involve too many people by open sourcing it now - you could easily have a "to…

    Fair enough - so how do I use google docs when I'm offline? Alternatively, would you have suggestions on some other service that provides similar doc capability with html5 database…

    My list of things keeping from Chrome is same as yours though I'd also add lack of google gears support. I don't understand how they have that for firefox but they don't have it fr…
