Obviously you can't read(you keep mentioning email when i've already adressed it entire issue in my second post) so I see no point in continuing this discussion.

downvote away if it makes you feel like a bigger man.

I think you miss the point. I don't want to communicate with anyone in order to donate anything to them. There are plently other options out there than Paypal so why are they not offered.

So the only options if I want to donate are:

* Use Paypal

* Initiate communication (via email)

No thanks.

Try working on your briething. I've never run very far let alone a marathon(though I have played football non-stop for several hours many times when I was younger)... but 've found that by taking deep breathes while I run/jog means I can go for longer and without discumfort(until I stop) as opposed to when almost panting like a dog, it's as-if it has physchological effect and my body just refuses to work.

Well, it's probably just me but Netbeans support for Ruby was as good as Eclipse(PyDev) support for Python i.e it kinda worked but it left a little to be desired, I for one am not gonna miss it.

I'm sorry for going OT and I know this isn't reddit but it has to be said because everyone knows that...

Not sure why OP is getting downvoted like it's Reddit but whatever...

I just wanted to point that this isn't a perfect world where every copy of every article share the (exact) same title which means a lot of times the same article isn't found by that search. Removing the quotes often time don't help either because you're them swamped irrelevant results.

Before we can begin to discuss "what exists" we must first discuss "what".

That is to say. We must first discuss what is talent? What counts as talent? What doesn't? because until then I feel that many of our ideas are going to be based on our own slight understanding and ideas about talent.

For me, I have no idea what talent is the same way i have no idea what a skill is because it all seems so arbitrary.

There's more to support than standards. Curretly and in the past Opera has given more grief from the users' POV because of it's iffy rendering. Right now I push a few thousand elements into the page at runtime, this works perfectly fine everywhere else including IE6 yet Opera decides that it needs not redraw the whole page(or something) and when I scroll it causes ink smudges(?) it's rather entertaining to look at because it's as-if Opera thinks it's some kind of photo editor. Keeping the parent div hidden and then showing it after I've done pushing the elemements seems to work around that bug but I now have a visible lag everywhere. What do I do?

That analogy doesn't apply because it's not the same thing. If I take some of your oil you lose some of your oil. Now if I went out and cloned it that's not stealing under the stated definition. This is the same nonsense the GPL tries to shove down peoples throats and I don't know why so many people are buying it. It's not about wrong right in this case so there's no need to bring pre-concevied biases into it.

It's not easier. It's just easier than what we already have.

Am I the only dissappointed by this post?

The article is effectively content-less and mostly copy-pasted with some selling at the bottom.

Last year? I downloaded a pirated copy of the movie Ink. I wasn't ever going to go to the cinema nor was(and won't) I going to buy it on DVD. I did however buy 2 copies totally about $30 IIRC from the creator directly. This is just one case from one person. Many people who pirate movies also buy the ones they think are worth their money. The think most people like you don't realise is that most of the people who don't pay for any of it in any form wasn't going to do so even if it wasn't available for free. And I too can just blanket everything under a misguided and biased argument; No it's actually more expensive to shoplift because if you were walked out with enough you'd very very likely get caught and you're likely to face some legall challenges not to metion the fact that many people won't hire you unless they have to. That doesn't even take into account the other point you so conveniently misse: it's harder. That point is actually more important than the cost as shown in my case of buying Ink for $30 which is at least 3 times more than it would have cost me to go to the cinema.

If that's the case, shouldn't they/he be adding some functionality via plugin(or built-in) that improves the situation in Opera.

This assumes the students study only that material. There's nothing wrong with it. If your tutor tells you that these questions will either be on the test r similar to ones on the test then you'd be a fool to ignore it and try to study everything instead. Also, test scores rearely have any meaningful output with regards to how much most people actually know.

Yes, it's the same engine but only in that they came from the same source. Even in the cases where they were exactly the same unpatched source from upstream, they wouldn't really be the same. E.g I can trivially freeze midori which uses webkit, I can do it to many others. If Midori or any of the others had security bugs, it doesn't mean that Chrome would have it as well therefore they can't be classed as the same.

Aren't they different?

The fact that they use roughly the same engine doesn't count for very much. It's the implementation that matters.

I guess that's a little like saying: i jumped off a cliff into the sea and didn't get hurt, countless people do and don't get hurt. At the same time though, there's a great risk of me hitting something on the way down if it's very windy or me drowning because I landed awkwardly in the water(I've experinced this one jumping from about 10ft as a child).

I don't speak for everyone but the reason I see lisp code as unreadable is that most of what I've seen is written like your example. That is, there is some indentation which helps, but it's as-if the coder is afraid to utilise vertical space so they put all the closing brackets on the same line, most of the opening ones in the middle of some lines. With that kind of formatting (for me at-least), it's not immediately clear which.

who writes code like that?

    creators = [
        {
            "name": {
                "name_authority": TextField,
                "name_authority_id": IntegerField,
                "display_string": TextField
            },
            "user_id" :IntegerField,
            "roles": [TextField],
            "attrs": [TextField],
            "xts": [TextField]
        }
    ]

> don’t know what the plugin is like as i’ve not been able to use it!

Not to detract from the issue here but that quote seeed a little strange to me. Something's not right. Why would your production server need to support any features for you to try something. Even worse why you test it on your production server first.

I think you is-understood my post. My point was basically: before jumping t concluions, try to understand the whole story first because it's easy to complain. Whether or not that complaint is justified or not is irrelevant. What atters is whether or not proper procedure was followed. From experience, complaint usually comes before clarification.

Guys, before rounding up a mob, please try to find out the story from the other side as well. To put it simply there was a complaint about Tfl killing an app last week or something, AFAIK that developer didn't get permission to use the data whether or not it was publicly available or whomever used that data. It states in Tfl's website that written permission is required for certain things and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get such permissions. In the article I noticed slight whining about other people doing the same thing which is (slightly)comparable to illegal downloading of films, countless people do it, but ultimately you have to seek permission from the content providers as you're utiliing their services.

I think I'm in the same boat, kinda. I love the idea of visiting places, I enjoy learning about other people(culture, their lives, experiences, history) but the idea of traveling there... It's just not for me, I sometimes wonder if I'm simply stuck in the wrong time, because if we had teleportation things would definitely be different.

I don't think this has anything to do with Microsoft, they're simply almost 2 weeks late hopping on that band-wagon. Note: the argument is about Linux on the desktop, not Linux as a whole. Linux as a whole does well with adoption elsewhere(mobile, servers, super computing, routers?). I don't really know much about Linux on the desktop as it was never a dream for many of us who have better things to do and I don't think it was ever alive so I don't know how it can now be dead :)

I beg to disagree.

1) If your login form annoys me it's very likely that I won't be using your service e.g the HN OpenId login is pretty much broken if I have noscript enabled so if there wasn't a normal login I wouldn't be here. So yes, it should be helpful. I'm not a mind-reader and I don't like to play mind-games so if I do something wrong then I expect to be told what I did wrong.

2) I'm not sure how that helps security. If a human can find the login form it means a human can write a program(i.e a bot) that can also find that form...

2.5) For security reasons, I've never and understood this or where it came from. If your service allows login then in almost all cases it also allows registration. I can understand if you're among those who feel the need to annoy users that try to register by telling then that there's an error in the form they submitted with no indication of what that error is but otherwise you will return some error if they try to signup with an existing username. This boils down to one extra step to find out if the username is wrong or not. For a human that might be tedious. Even if you give vague error messages at registration it's still trivial to use this same vague error message to figure out if a username exists or not.

I'm not sure how your first point applies here. If I get a patent for copy-paste using gestures, does my patent apply to using a mouse or any future copy-paste methods? Maybe, maybe not, it doesn't actually matter here because those methods don't exist yet so talking about them is irrelevant as I tried to point out. If you read the whole of my comment you'd see that I went as far as to suggest the patent itself is most likely invalid.

I'm not sure what you're getting at as I didn't say anything about the patent being valid. All I did was call out the fact that most people weren't talking about the actual patent. Oracle has some patents related to virtual machines, are they enforcible on all virtual machines?

Is it just me or has everyone else seemingly not read either the title nor the post?

Rationale:

Most people seem to be talking about this game already does this or that and xxx is virtual money blah blah. From my understanding the patent is for virtual currency in gambling games which almost no-one seems to have noticed. I mean, don't get me wrong I'm sure there is a lot of prior art for this patent but it just strikes me as strange that so many people would bring up seemingly irrelevant arguments.

For what it's worth, I get the error: ln: failed to create hard link `/tmp/exploit/target' => `/bin/ping': Invalid cross-device link

Are there any other way to do this without ln? I have no binaries on non-root-writable filesystems. tmp is on tmpfs, / and /home are on their own filesystems so I'd need to be root to create the files on a partition that this could work from.
