She answered that question already, in paragraph #3: "I idolized Archimedes, Galileo, da Vinci, Faraday, Newton, Maxwell, Tesla, Pasteur, and Darwin. I couldn’t believe they were all dead, and that I would never get to…
See the shell script in the top comment here: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/2100 I tested it, and it works as advertised. For firefox integration, in about:config create a new boolean as:…
I agree. I want to support fellow HNers, so I hesitated a moment before closing the tab. But in the end I'm not going to give away my email address just to find out what this thing does.
I have a hunch that you might be absolutely right. But it's unclear to me whether following this advice would improve my quality of life. Right now I'm productive, working whenever I can without respect to the clock.…
The word "hacker" has a highly negative connotation to the mass media. This site may as well be called "Terrorist News" from their POV. The last thing our SOPA opposition needs is to be associated with "hackers" in the…
Same here. I've been allowing myself to sleep pretty much whenever I feel like it for the past several months, and I don't appear to have any sleep pattern. Sometimes I sleep 3 or 4 hours, and wake up feeling…

Painters were copying paintings long before digital film made the practice easy. Musicians were covering other musicians long before the advent of mechanical sound recording. Copying is an inherent facet of the arts.…
While you're right, that's why I wrote "somewhat more likely". Republicans may not favor limited government today, but on average they are still less likely than Democrats to support regulation. The OP's link…
Democrats tend to favor government regulations of any kind, while Republicans are somewhat more likely to oppose them in general. So it doesn't surprise me at all.
It's interesting to me in part because I tend to think of the SOPA battle as being rooted in the age-old war between North and South -- Silicon Valley vs. Hollywood. Attempting to cripple our industry is just a standard…
What a great video. It gives me a lot more respect for the guy. After watching it I'm surprised that he's made it this long without learning how to code.

That's a funny requirement. Requiring uniques reduces password strength.
From your second link: Samuel Mudd is sometimes given as the origin of the phrase "your name is mud", as in, for example, the 2007 film National Treasure: Book of Secrets. However, according to an online etymology…
Ditto.
You'd have been working half-days if the only browser you supported was anything other than MSIE6.
Sure there was. IE6 support always required 2 to 3 times as much effort to support, compared with any other browser.
This is the headline that so many of us fantasized about just a few years ago. The demise has been so slow that this barely feels like news. But with so many man-hours wasted on MSIE6 support, the headline's a…
What are you, an ex-girlfriend? This is Hacker News; let's maintain a higher level of conversation than that.
Yeah, I do, although I think most people would answer "No". Culturally, in the US at least, there's a distinct tendency toward Individualism in rural areas and Collectivism in urban areas. But the distinction is…
Yes, I live in SF.
It's ironic that my anti-dogmatic stance (None of us has the right to dictate the behavior of strangers) came across as being dogmatic (Thou shalt not dictate the behavior of strangers). Of course you're right that this…
All government regulation is bad because none of us has the moral right to dictate the behavior of strangers. The aggregate gain in a quieter society that you describe is not an aggregate gain in happiness. It's a…
