I believe the flag is actually set in the same place you enable locking of the phone.

The only problem I have had with this (on iphone) is that the api they use is throttled (because hackernews will ban ips who use the site too much (see: http://news.ycombinator.com/robots.txt)

I don't think we'll get to see anything like alien blue until hacker news can return something like json in addition to html.

It really depends on the person and how they use that technology. People like I assume Gibson use tech as a means to an end, he hasn't bought a new app because he is comfortable with what he has and sees no need to try new things.

This is the same reason my mother had a hard time when she bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it, though surprisingly she really likes google chrome and tells everyone on a computer using internet explorer they should use chrome instead.

I guess the gist of what I am saying is that sometimes change can be to much for those who aren't the power user. I loved windows 7 on the RC and all the little improvements, the same with word and office 2007. I get excited about new OS releases and new programs and updates because I find them useful and it doesn't take me hours or weeks or months to become more productive because I live tech but others just don't have the time or desire to understand it.

That seems to be exactly what haskell is suited for solving, math problems. Which is great and wonderful when you are doing math related problems or things that are heavy in math but when you try and go outside those bounds that is when haskell becomes much much harder to write and work with. But alas that is both what makes haskell nice and hard to work with.

I don't think being British or drunk has anything justification with acting the way he/they did.

Heh I actually don't mind that picture and I like the author photos.

I am still on a kindle 2 and if I were going to upgrade it would be to the keyboard 3g without ads but for now as long as my kindle 2 isn't broken and keeps that amazing battery life with 3g off I don't see any reason to upgrade just yet. Now if they cut the price of the kindle keyboard 3g with no ads in half for prime subscribers however I would buy it in an instant.

The scary learning curve isn't really a bad thing, I was never turned off by it, the main turn off for any programming language for me is going to be resources which is why I chose python over ruby (as python has in my opinion much better documentation and community).

As a disclaimer I've never really learned haskell yet, I do go through tutorials and solve some problems with it and everything now and again but I haven't fully grokked the language yet.

Basically in the same boat. Gnome 3 left me with no equivilent to what gnome2 was and now I'm stuck with xfce or an ubuntu LTS/debian until they get upgraded.

It really depends on the type of side projects a developer does.

If it has something to do with their main business (say something to manage their server commands easily) or is integrated into another one of their tools the cost open sourcing it may not be worth it.

Only so long as facebook doesn't use flash cookies as those are cross browser. (Or you constantly delete flash cookies)

I think it is a pretty interesting way to look at hiring. Gabriel has mad something that people want to contribute to and I'm sure none of them are volunteering their time with expectations of a job in the future, I would gather they just like his product that much.

As long as you don't really need to interact with windows more than a shared folder I'd go with virtualbox headless.

Since it is a laptop you can set it up to have one network card be NAT for the internet and the second be host only so you have a dedicated local ip to hack on no matter what network you are on.

I believe my setup when I did this was the first card was NAT with dhcp and the second card was a static ip and I believe all you needed in debian was to specify the address for card 2.

vmware has the option to start on boot though and it might work better for headless servers, I haven't used that in a long time though.

Yes and you are likely to have some ramifications for breaking said contract. Most of the comments here are along the lines of not agreeing with marco's sentiment of we won't fault you. They will fault him and his breaking of the contract will not be all cheers.

If I were a textmate user I would be looking at alternatives that actually deliver updates in a timely manner and don't break promises.

I have a Samsung qx410 which is somewhat similarly built and has a great keyboard but absolutely sucks for linux in the touchpad department.

I think you should look at thinkpads, even though they might not meet your specifications they usually work much better with linux than other brands and are usually well built.

The most probable situation here (if it actually occurred) is that South Korea owns a certificate authority that is accepted by browsers and did a MITM attack with their own google cert.

The reason I bought a ps3 instead of an xbox was because of the exclusive titles (mainly mgs4).

It depends mostly on the habits from where you live, I personally leave things unlocked at home half the time because I only have 5 neighbors in a few mile radius but when I go to the city you can bet my car doors are locked but it is likely that I would leave a camera or laptop in my car for a while.

It also depends on where you are at, I wouldn't do it in a city I don't know or a part of town I don't like but some things are familiar and generally safe.

Not the person you asked but I've used namecheap for 3 years now and haven't had any issues, the whoisgaurd they offer is cheap when it comes up for renewal and you don't have to have a card or anything on file for when renewals come up, they do email you a bit when they do but I don't mind that.

The interface isn't going to win any awards and most of my domains use linodes dns so I can't say how well their dns stacks up.

I also have a few domains on nearlyfreespeech which is quite a bit down on the interface but their terms are great.

My pings are really similar to my latency measured with different sources.

My isp (Qwest) uses interleaving and it adds quite a bit to my first hop (it usually is about 60ms) and from what I've seen those people actually living in a more populated area the interleaving latency added is about the same (>30ms first hop and usually closer to 60). So of course it depends on the ISP and qwest is notoriously bad for this but is my only option, and occurs with plenty of other ISPs with interleaving.

The high latency with dsl usually comes hand in hand with interleaving enabled.
