Given the direction in which governments seem to be moving, it's probably more relevant now than it was then.
I agree, although I'd love to see some results or examples (and I must admit I'm a little pessimistic). I hope to see some on the website soon :)
I enjoyed reading the article, and I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't here on HN. If it shouldn't be here (according to the HN community) it wouldn't be sitting at the top of the news page.
The headline "The Age of Music Piracy Is Officially Over" really bothers me for some reason. It should be "The Age of Music Piracy Is Over According to Some Columnist".
To be fair, we can't verify that either way. If a company treated me as the reviewers claim, I wouldn't give them more than one star either. As was mentioned in other comments, there needs to be some validation of…
I don't agree with Eil's comment at all, but that is no reason to vote his comment down. Comment voting is to make interesting comments more prominent and to remove noise, not to banish unpopular opinions. I don't…
I've never heard of Hunch before, but just yesterday I was actually thinking that it'd be nice if a tool just like it existed. However, the first thing I thought when I saw their website was "this looks like too much…
I think plenty of people said the same thing about the Wii. It is fun so long as games use the interaction as a constructive part of the game. There are plenty of fun multiplayer games on the Wii that just wouldn't work…
I've tried a number of methods (mostly for work-related todos) and nothing really worked perfectly. I find that I go through phases of needing a list versus doing what is on my mind. Each phase can last a week or a…
Intellectual disagreements are usually more interesting than agreements, particularly when the original article is well written and doesn't require commentators to fill in the gaps.
Does anyone have any experience with Mono on macs?
Compared to what? Your comment is like saying "A house is bigger."
Sounds like reverse auctions. Rather than people competing to buy an item on sale, sellers would be bidding to sell a wanted item. Does anyone do this? Would it actually work?
I would find it quite tempting to destroy it, but I guess that satisfaction wouldn't be worth the opportunity cost.
StackOverflow is my first port of call when I run into a programming problem that I can't solve. I've started mucking around with Unity 3d (a game engine) and was quite relieved when I found a solid StackExchange forum…
I think they mean time of day, not altitude. Makes more sense without the comma.
Why are they out of fashion? Is it because it is too hard to figure out why a particular neural net makes certain decisions? Are they generally too unwieldy and unpredictable? I'm very interested in neural nets but I…
It's not waking up that's hard; the problem is getting to sleep. The symptoms in the article definitely apply to me (and I'm working on resolving them). Yesterday I woke up much earlier than I'd like (via alarm clock)…
The OP article link doesn't work for me, but the dupe link does.
Without understanding the language, I get the impression that the author prizes a low line count over readability.
They give the masses what they want; rubbish is much easier to watch than real news.
Perhaps the driver's license was fake. Either way, it's a shame we have to live with people who do these kinds of things. After having my car broken into multiple times and eventually stolen, and home broken into…
I never said I disagreed with you; just mentioning that there are probably plenty of solutions and this was my experience under a different system.
In addition to that, I get tired of the channel 9 commentators pretending that every moment of whatever they're watching is a dramatic historic event. Can't we just enjoy it for what it is without all the crap? It also…
People who go to that amount of trouble to not pay probably wouldn't have bought anything directly anyway. If nothing else they're advertising <stupid thing> to their friends for free.
