Assuming that the average computer user in those days (and even today) was capable of navigating to the cd drive letter, entering it, and double-clicking "setup.exe", "install.exe", or "app.exe" - via some type of an understanding of what to do after inserting a cd.. would be an even bigger flaw.

Autorun did exactly what it was designed to do and solved the problem both for Microsoft and the software shops with users not being able to install products -- the worst of the worst of issues.

America friend of the status quo?? Then why did USA actively overthrew almost all the DEMOCRATIC governments in south and central america in the 70's?

I don't know how much you like the name, but I would suggest another name that is easier to remember. At the very least a name that is easier to spell or pronounce.

For me to remember the URL an hour from now, it's going to take a good few minutes to memorize the spelling. I also don't know how to pronounce it, so it makes it much harder for me to tell someone else about your site.
I use the following on my Mac to avoid this issue (I don't use a hyper key in emacs):

Yeah, text is what content farmers were growing last year. This year it's video. Apparently, youtube has gone unfarmed for far too long. The real answer to this question is that google doesn't have tech yet to defeat video farming.

If you really think about it what one SHOULD do is create a content futures exchange. An electronic exchange that uses APIs to shop a piece of content around and with a futures market you can sell the content for when it's needed, so you can buy christmas content in June at a discount. If it works for corn it can work for content. Also once the exchange is live you can start selling copies of your FREE "Content Farmers Almanac Ebook" all you need to do is enter your email address so the freshly farmed content can be delivered right to your door.

> Unlocked handsets don't count: almost no one is paying that much for a phone.

Most mobile phones in the world are bought unlocked. Carrier-locked phones holding most of the market is an US/UK quirk, and in many European countries, carrier-locked phones like used in the US would actually be illegal.
It sounds a lot easier than it really is. What's a good entry page for a blog? Right to the content?
> Apple's profit margin is an extreme aberration, and it isn't sustainable. Any comparison that relies upon profit numbers is...disturbed.

So the goal of a phone maker should be to sell as many devices as possible regardless of whether they're profitable? That sounds a lot like, say, Motorola before they adopted Android - not exactly a picture of a healthy business.
Valuing Project Managers, Advancing LearnVest & Marching Onward
Most of my expirience is in web development, but I'm interested in many more topics, like PL, game development, "low-level" systems, and else.

Being mostly a web developer, I have spent the last five years developing PHP applications, and I feel very confident with the language and it's environment.

For the last year I've focused more in javascript (although I0ve been fiddle with it much more years) and it's probably my favorite language.

I have some experience with ANSI C, which I really like, but never used it in a production project, also C++, but I don't like it that much.

I wanna learn a new language to gain new experience and discover different concepts and practices from them, and also because I'm a PL enthusiast.
same way rails developers did it before 2011. with javascript.

boom! ;)

Ask HN: Artistic, Non Technical, Make a Video Pitch?
I am a non technical would be founder. i am however artistic, been doing graphic design for what feels like forever and also experienced in after effects and final cut pro (the film industry is where my current path on life is leading me).
so my question is, rather then hiring someone to make a website with money i don't have, or spending > 1 year learning all the necessary languages, does it make sense to make a great video walkthrough of my website, designed in photoshop with dummy info and such, as a tool for pitching?
i would love a co founder but i dont know any hackers who are both talented and have excess free time.

Safety is operated by statistics, not boolean logic.

Things are not either safe or unsafe. It all depends on trade-offs, and what risks we can accept in exchange of other values, such as comfort.

The article mentionds, though, two worrying things such as the bias in investigations and ongoing GPS technology usage increase.

I would also stress that it _might be not_ linear. Combined risk of few hundrends of turned on cell phones is not a mere multiplication of risk for a single device.
Out of curiosity, how are you unable to pull your data off of Android?
I wouldn't call it a mistake. If you had asked me before this afternoon whether trusting X-Requested-With would protect against CSRF, I would have said yes. I still have no idea how you can send arbitrary cross-domain requests in Java and Flash: the fact that you can do so is a security vulnerability in and of itself.

That being said, I'm going to let them know to fix that code. ;)
I feel confident an productive with LAMP and the Open Web/HTML5, and have been building some cool apps with them, mostly as a freelance developer.

I wanna learn something new mostly to stop feeling that I might be missing something cooler than building webapps, and to make me a better programmer (also for webapps) by using other language/community's concepts and best-practicies.
I am more curious to know how much traffic it takes for a site like this to become profitable ads? Anybody has any details?

ps: I guess quite a few of us have such "Oh that would be a fun site" ideas... I just don't know what traffic will make it worth the effort.
Yes. It uses self-reported wages.
I worked for Accenture (then Andersen Consulting) in Paris in 1995 when a new team of Englishmen were brought in from London to "turn the French practice around".

Their theme? "Burning platform". The exact same story that opens the memo was their story too.

Maybe this Mr Elop is really an original thinker that will do great things; but the "burning platform" analogy is the most tired image EVER.

Oh, and did it work in Paris in 1995? Not really. It was not an absolute disaster, but in the end (two years later) the British threw the towel and went home, and the French partners who were there before stayed on (are still there to this day).
Reminds me of this story - http://postcards.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/12/09/guest-post...
The purpose and meaning of the hash-bang convention is that there is a "real" url that corresponds to this "javascript" url. That has a lot of advantages that the post does not mention.
I guess the main technical reason is that if your on one page and click to another, you want the url to change so that if you copy and paste the link it's from the url of the page you are on. If you have proper separate links to the the other page I assume updating the address would trigger a new http request?

In terms of just loading the ones page I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the normal structure and have js get what it needs for an ajax request from that.
EDIT: Arrowed down. This is one of those seminal moments that speak volumes about a community, and I think HN is done (just furthering an observation that has grown). Account and site abandoned.

I actually emailed you in the beginning of '09 after reading about your site in Bob Walsh's MicroISV book. You took the time to send a lengthy and detailed response which was very appreciated.
The fact that "PlanbookEdu.com" is listed in the sidebar on that page means that it is in fact indexed [1]. I assume your logic is that mentioning it within the blog post as well would make it rank higher for a google search of the site name - would it actually make much of a difference?

I'd be more interested in finding out why they're using so much threading and locks in what appears to be an image gallery app.
I'm currently working on Haskell. Others on the short list would be Go and Clay (since it sounds nice to have a systems language other than C, and they look interesting), OCaml (to go with Types and Programming Languages), and Objective-C (since I'm primarily on OS X). It probably wouldn't be hard to talk me into working on a Lisp either.

If you haven't read the first two parts of this series, you really should. I don't think I've ever read another series of articles about such a boring topic (5x5 pixel buttons, label strokes) that is so damn interesting. The difference between each respective company is immediately visible just by a simple side-by-side glimpse.

I think this is the same sort of 'intense' design that is occasionally remarked about things like Apple's 'breathing' sleep display. Knowing Google, it was probably less of a vision thing and more of an aggressive A/B test thing but the outcomes are undeniable.

Bravo to the author :).

Politics are tricky. Sometimes what's best for me is not best for you. I want all people to be free people, but not at the expense of my right to be a free person.

I imagine that America's position on Egypt like every other decision in foreign affairs is made asking "Does this help or hurt our position in the world?". Unfortunately many decisions have been made that help us in the short term (supporting dictators we influence) in spite of the long term drawbacks (we're supporting dictators).

Tricky stuff, and I wouldn't want to be the one putting my butt on the line to state America's opinion on a global matter.

I haven't used this service in a while, so things may have changed, but IIRC the installer is really just a wrapper for all the other installers. You can save it and re-use it for other installs, but the wrapper itself is pretty small so I don't know why you'd want to. Try checking a few boxes and downloading the installer - the file size will only be a few hundred KB.

actually i believe the right question would be "in which scenarios does it make sense to deliver them rendered, and in which scenarios does it make sense to render on the client"; which was the intention of my original question.

based on the responses it's clear that my question sounded like a leading one. it was not and i employ both methods actively.
Very interesting. It's funny, I'm actually launching a site with the chicken/egg problem and I thought of some of the same ideas (fake users or at least having your friends create 2-3 accounts each and chalking up my campus quad). I'm glad to hear that these ideas have resulted in lots of hits. I will report back on my progress with chalking for those interested. I'm planning to hit the 3 major universities in my area and I think this could have major impact. We'll see!

Google is not fair today--that's the problem!

ehow is an 11 year old domain name and they create millions of pages. They will out rank anyone due to:

a) domain age
b) flooding the index with dozens of pages around a niche topic (as opposed to one good one).

google does NOT rank for quality... it ranks for signs of quality such as domain age, inbound links, etc.

until google can tell that there 100+ spam articles on a niche topic are not as good as on lifehacker or Mahalo or /. page we're screwed.

I mean, in order to win you need to buy and old domain and flood the index. what if everyone does this?!?!
Me being a curmudgeon: I'd actually say that the narrow technocratic definitions imposed by the "social graph" lead to generally _less social_ results. (For an example close at hand, I believe that I did an awful lot of growing up by confronting fears of rejection and learning to act on an attraction.)

Me responding to your points: Of course there was a social graph, it just wasn't reified in a database. Here's how it worked: You got an email saying someone had a crush on you. Curious to see who it was, you then entered all your friends & classmates email addresses in to see if there was a match. Not a whit of difference in what's actually happening; you've just made it shinier and removed some of the manual data entry.

The "Step 3: ??? that comes before Step 4: profit" was, of course, that all your friends now received "someone has a crush on you!" emails too, and the marketer running the site had a nice fat verified mailing list to sell to unsolicited bulk email operations.

Perhaps it's a failure of my imagination, but I cannot see a way for you to run this as a profitable business without similarly turning the 'users' into the product.

Old programming habits die hard
the question you ask "do i deserve more ?" seems to really reach into the core of your problem. You may not believe in what you are doing at the present time.

The question you should really ask is why do you want to work? what do you want out of it?

Money?, Interest/passion? or a big ego?

whats the driving factor for you?

Its not really if you deserve it or not, you have more control over this than you think. Many people work ridiculous hours at work and get next to nothing in return. But they do it because they are not really in it for the money. Yes they get enough to pay the bills and save a penny here and there.

But they truly have found what they are passionate about and thats what gets them to wake up in the morning.

Or they love the fact that they are well known at work and have take pride in being a leader or mentor and show it when they can.
