Dan, some solid advice there, and with a track record of experience. Thank you so much for the great advice. Now to convince my wife that I need to go 100% GPL or do the mixed lice…

Ever hear of WordPress app themes? They're somewhat new. These are no ordinary themes. Take for instance a dental office. You walk in and the dental assistant makes an appointment …

I think it's Oracle. It usually starts in the accounting department. Someone from Oracle calls them up and convinces them that they need to spend oodles of cash for a financial pac…

Bruce Schneier and others have commented on this problem recently as well: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/08/eavesdropping_...

I don't know why this is not being responded to. It is evidently very important. Would it help if I shared a university study that focused on the Android? http://www.appanalysis.or…

I want to see the Android OS succeed, and am learning how to develop Android apps with PhoneGap, but there's a glaring hole that needs fixing. It seems to me that developers can us…

Here are a few options: - specialized WordPress Plugin development and sales - making Android or iPhone apps - making HTML5 apps with a mobile phone framework, and which work on An…

facebook.com = 12 chars gmail.com = 9 chars Gmail wins.

The font looks too Star-Trekkie, somewhat Romulan in fact. Nice for a logo, but sucks to see that on all the windows. Remember Nautilus? There was a particular version of Ubuntu th…

Prediction: ReactOS will be little more than an OS used for running Windows-less video games that were designed for Windows. In the time spent fiddling with it, you could have just…

As a developer, I try to "get in the minds" of other developers sometimes. I try to think, "If I had to build this same system, and ensure it was tuned properly, how would I be bui…

I recently googled ugg boots and found that the lawyers for UGG told Google to de-index some sites that had ugg in the domain name. That's uncool. I knew a guy who had "timex" some…

This is autoblogging. This won't work. Google will see the blog theme fingerprint and will either lessen the index or de-index. Also, the dupe content is another factor that gets y…

Because you need to hit bottom first on this issue before finding that bottom and deciding, enough is enough, and moving on. Just like you're beginning to do now, in fact, by makin…

Then how come I get really bad headaches when eating the stuff, but not with sugar, HFCS, or saccharin?

Exactly.

Try and draw me a line between scaremongering and being realistic about forecasts?

Why is this trending when this is actually the more important news story? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1383525

Crap! I just received an email from Verizon. They say my new ISP on July 1 will become Frontier Communications. I don't know if this means my phone service as well. (I'll call in t…

Oh wow. That sucks. Here I am pumped about the future of Android and I didn't realize this. Google, please fix -- I know you read Hacker News.

Do you guys feel what I'm feeling? I'm feeling a general lack of mindshare on new development and new technology coming out of Microsoft. Linux, Mac, and Droid is where it's at -- …

They should have just stuck with making a keyboardless tablet like the iPad.

Oh that's just crazy. I just clicked that link but didn't click Confirm because ?u= is someone else's user ID. What's sad is that because it's numeric, you can run down a whole lis…

Darn, I thought this was going to be about a woman dropped in water, connected to sensors and drugged, who would dream about pre-crime. Man, that would make a great movie, wouldn't…
