Skype would seem to fit the bill.

If you ever license a product to another company (ie. GitHub FI), you have to be GPL compliant.

I found it in one of their demo applications. They hide a lot of stuff in there.

Small technical correction: I2P uses Garlic routing, which is based on the same basic ideas, but is implemented very differently.

It's much cheaper to counterfeit old currency that is still in circulation than to invest a lot of money in trying to replicate the latest security features.

NaCl doesn't have the low level networking capabilities needed for SSH, Telnet, etc. because they would be a security risk (a "game" could run a portscanner or look for open SMB shares on the network).

This is pure speculation, but its possible that the runtime does some tricks for performance (possibly in the method dispatch routine) that the NaCl sandbox doesn't allow.

Hackers are not defined by a degree, skill or field. Hackers are defined by a thirst for knowledge and a motivation to improve or manipulate the world around them.

And to only enable this in debug builds, you can do:

  #ifdef DEBUG
    [NSClassFromString(@"WebView") _enableRemoteInspector];
  #endif

I believe HN automatically capitalizes the first letter.

(I may be wrong, I vaguely remember this conversation going on in an iOS post a few months ago)

BizSpark is a program that gives free Microsoft software to startups and small businesses for three years. From my understanding, it has nothing to do with cloud platforms.

Chances are NetShare reused existing code from an open source SOCKS proxy implementation, which would probably just use standard UNIX APIs. Combine that with the simplicity of the GUI, and it's very possible that none of the APIs it is using have changed since release.

Well, it sounds cool, but the first result for "Google" is a Youtube Video Converter, and it appears to randomly change between German and English.

The mobile phone market has been disrupted time and time again, the most recent example being the iPhone. The iPhone was a revolutionary new technology on the market, and was quickly followed by Android, which improved on many features leading to benefit for the consumer.

If you are referring to cell carriers, there is a high infrastructure cost, however even that does not prevent disruption. A standard cell tower can cost upwards of two million dollars, however the OpenBTS project has shown that software radios can significantly reduce the cost to the tens of thousands of dollars per tower. This, combined with a limited initital rollout can keep the infrastructure costs under one hundred million, not an unreasonable number for venture capital funding once the technology is proven.

By the way, if you are interested in the Austrian School of economics, which advocates a free market, the Ludwig van Mises Institute has a very expansive collection of over 4100 articles, books and essays freely availiable as PDFs and eBooks here (http://mises.org/literature.aspx).

Also, I recommend reading about the Keynesian School of Economics, which advocates central planning in the form of a central bank (The Federal Reserve), so you can best make your own decision. Wikipedia has very good introductions to both schools, and can provide a basis for your further readings.

If the US were to attempt to remove the barriers to entry, it would have to be very carefully with a scalpel and not destroy them all in one blow with a hammer. One approach which would help curb corporate power would be to start removing the civil liability limits on many sectors. To use the oil industry as an example, the reason BP got off so lightly after causing damage to nearly all industries reliant on the gulf coast was that there was a $75M cap on civil damages, where without that cap, BP easily could have gone out of business after being sued under Tort law.

The United States in it's early days was a decent example of a near-free market functioning, as there was no central bank and minimal regulation on business.

Also, I'm glad to see you're interested in learning more. Economic theory is a very nuanced subject, with many differing opinions, studies and models. One that I wish I knew much better.

The late 1800s and early 1990s were crony capitalism, encouraged by a corrupt court system and naive immigrants who bought into the political machines. A fully free market actively discourages monopolies by removing all barriers for competition, and encouraging disruptive startups.

I'd go for unpatched VxWorks system.

Okay. I'm stopping this here. We do not need HN to turn into /r/politics.

You could have a friend with a Mac or Windows computer download them then give them to you on a flash drive or something. Also, old versions of iTunes are known to run in Wine.

I don't see the point though; the iOS SDK is Mac only.

Another concerning section is the power to take action against, "any entity that knowingly and willfully provides or offers to provide a product or service designed or marketed for the circumvention or bypassing of measures described". Does this mean that the Tor Project would be shut down? It would be nearly impossible to eradicate a piece of open source software, but if this bill has passed, it would not be a leap to imagine a bill making the use of Tor or related services a felony passing.

Personally, I support Ron Paul. While I don't agree with all of his policies, he seems like the sanest guy up there. Still, HN is for discussion of tech, start ups, and cool new things in our world; not politics. Any political discussion will quickly devolve into ad hominem attacks, and provide no interesting commentary. If you want to discuss politics, head over to one of the many forums, subreddits or discussion boards about politics, but this is not the place.

While I agree with you, I don't think HN is for debating general politics.

It works well, and I'm glad to see Google pushing towards HTML5 (and related standards) and away from Flash.

Today is a sad day. A great man died, and we should honor that. This may sound cold hearted, but I come to Hacker News to read interesting discussions about tech and startups, not to see 30 articles about the same issue. Several articles discussing the event would be perfectly fine, but this has become absurd.

It's possibly they just locked down the work stations to disallow anything but IE, then don't have WiFi for laptops.

A CMS brings in additional complexity of updates and security breaches, which can cost much more than a $400 update fee a few times a year.

They specifically state that there is no included DRM. However, publishers are free to implement their own DRM, however ineffective it might be.
