> They can't show adverts on this page and allow people from the UK to see it because this would cause confusion and make people wonder where their licence fee is going.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

The BBC absolutely could serve this content, with a persistent explanation of why this page serves adverts with its content.

Essentially the BBC is not confident in its own ability to design something which communicates a simple message ("This content is produced by a BBC subsidiary which is not funded by the licence fee, and we therefore have to pay for it by placing adverts on this page"). Having seen the incompetent UX work the Beeb have done on their homepage in recent years (BBC Sport redesign, anyone?), I can understand why they don't have that much confidence in their own abilities.

It's a shame that the BBC's arbitrary fear of confusion, which is fundamentally rooted in their own inability to manage expectations, is preventing millions of people from accessing interesting content.
Reasons for using voice recorder
In business processing outsourcing centers, voice recorder is mostly used. These devices are mainly used to record the voice of employees so that the owners can justify what type of service their employees are giving to their clients.

Yup this is a really good example. Only thing I didn't understand was I signed up with FB so I had a verified e-mail address, yet they asked me to put one in - the default of my FB one would have been a little bit better

I love the UI and everything about this, however it's another free service I won't be using - no revenue therefore highly likely these guys will get acquired as a talent acqusition and then the service will be shut down.
Haha. As if its not already monitored.

You need to improve your onboarding process.

The sign up process is slick but way too long. Need to provide some instant gratification.

Just because I like to check out new products, I was patient and did all the steps properly. But, in the end I just got a blank screen saying "this list is empty". That was pretty disappointing. Then I imported my Instapaper articles and still the list is empty.

If speed is an issue, why don't you just show me "today's popular articles" or just fetch the last 10 links I shared on twitter? Show me something or I might never come back. This is not exactly a space without competition.

Edit: I'd like to be able to save articles with a single click. The 2-click save thing is what everyone gets wrong and why I end up using Instapaper for all my bookmarking.
You can actually match any analog or digital lense to any digital Nikon camera. The only impact you will ahve is on focus, on the smaller digital sensors it actually gets you more telle-lense than written on it. This doesn't work the other way round so. Digital lenses on analog cameras don't work.

Does anybody know if analog lenses work on the D600 as usual? As it was already mentioned all Nikons so far are back compatible so i asume they do. If so, the costs for lenses wouldn't be any higher than they are now. Mind that this doesn't mean they aren't high already!
If paying bills is a pain for you, you likely live in the US, where banks choose un-encrypted RFID over Chip and PIN, and people still use checkbooks.

If you're looking for inspiration on how bills should be paid, just take a look at nearly any other country.

Money can be transferred between people in an instant, with no hassle. Bills can be sent directly to your bank account, and you can just choose to pay them, or dispute them if you like, one click, that's it. It's rare to spend more than even a minute or two on bill payments.

The systems exist, it's just the slowness or unwillingness to adopt that's the problem.

They can't. The content isn't owned by BBC UK, it's owned by BBC Worldwide, and BBC UK would have to: pay to licence the content from BBC WW or BBC WW would have to display ads.

The bookmark management, hands down. Other browsers are for testing and sites that don't work well in Opera; while Opera is for organizing all of the things, especially with things like nicknames for bookmarks and created searches. It also has plenty of themes which actually change how much space stuff takes up... hmm, it's kinda like KDE versus Gnome, with Opera being KDE ^^ There may be apps for Gnome to make it more configurable, but that's just not the same...

Unfortunately, I cannot claim that I have tried it, but I know Opera supports remote debugging. You get to run Dragonfly on your desktop and debug whatever's running in Opera Mobile on your device.

>right now opera:cpu shows me a round number of 115 tabs with 1.5 GB RAM usage

That's impressive, but I can't imagine having over 5 tabs open. It would be impossible for me to use that many at once.
Officials have already shown that they are happy to overstep what regular people consider to be acceptable. And that was a generous line. People in the UK are on the whole accepting of privacy invasions.

Announcing this during the McPherson inquiry (where various people (including police officers) have shown they're happy to break criminal law to obtain, buy, and sell information) means they're going to have a hard time getting it passed.
I wonder how the internet would've turned up without Linu(s/x).
Maybe TLDs should be resolve to a main.tld? Similar to how a browser looks for a main or index? (Or something else, I'm just tossing out an idea. Though it would give amazing use to main.com, possibly as an Internet primer. Imagine if you had one page EVERYONE saw.)
"As a rule, never start a new line with an opening brace; it belongs with the previous line."

Wrong. That makes no sense.
Much like the old analog F4. I remeber a quote of a warzone / disaster photographer back than who said something like "you can even use it to hammer in nails, the only thing you can't use it for is shaving".

Curious question: Is anybody around here who prefers analog photography to digital? I still have the feeling that analog, my pictures are better because I pay more attention to them...

A lot of websites now offer SSL by default, or as an option - is this more of an obstacle or can ISPs use some sort of MITM technique to defeat the SSL for snooping purposes?

Damn. I can't comment on the Go listings, but could he make his C code any less readable?

What's the point of making the code so dense anyway? Without syntax highlighting I gave up pretty quickly.
Am I the only one who doesn't use bookmarks?

99% of the time, if I need to find something I've read before, I'll just search for it & find it.

The exception to this is when I was working support and had several product spec sheets & other reference pages bookmarked for quick access to email links to customers. Even while I was at Uni, I'd download articles to PDF.

On the rare occasion that I like or am interested in something enough to want to bookmark it, I find I rarely actually come back to it. Just looking now, in my Bookmarks menu I have a couple of folders — apparently the result of me saying "save all open tabs as bookmarks" in the hope of coming back to it later — but never having done so.

Long-form articles I come across while I should be doing something else go to Instapaper to be read later (is this what people use bookmarks for?). Even then realistically I only actually read 20% of them.

Anything I really think a friend of mine should read, I email a link there & then. This is a 1- or 2- click operation.

Anything that I think is just too interesting/funny/important to keep to one or two friends, I put on Twitter, or here on HN. (I guess that ends up being a kind of bookmark service; I have scoured my submitted stories (and upvoted stories) to find them again.)

For my frequently visited sites without RSS, the browser URL bar is my friend - just start typing & it autocompletes. The only bookmark in my bookmark bar is the "Instapaper: Read Later" bookmarklet.

What does everyone else use bookmarks for? Is there some awesome use case I've been ignorant to since 1996? Am I just a freak for never wanting to revisit things?
Is the Questnet Fraud Story true?
As you can see the Questnet fraud stories are mostly fabricated. These claims have very little truth in them, which is manipulated and blown out of proportion.
Yes, there is growing evidence that gamification, if done right, can be really good for teaching ideas. Zoran Popović [1], a faculty member here at the University of Washington, has been working on these issues for a few years now with his "Center for Game Science" [2]. And at a more advanced level, games like FoldIt [3] are starting to make small dents in difficult problems like protein folding.

Troubleshooting suggestions:

Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.

Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!

Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists.

In the "Advanced" tab in Opera's preferences it is possible to uncheck "Reuse current tab". In my opinion it would be a much better default to have this unchecked.

Sorry I can't reply to you sthulbourn but go here:

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/

It's a BBC worldwide website, working in the UK, using the BBC brand (e.g. the logo), showing adverts to UK people.

At the bottom of the (very good) content it says:

"BBC Worldwide is a commercial company that is owned by the BBC (and just the BBC).

No money from the licence fee was used to create this website.

The profits we make from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes."

That's essentially the same message used as the explanation as to why I can't use the bbc.com/future website. Confusion has not abounded, the world has not ended.

The UK-blocked "future" website continues to make no sense to me. I can't see how this is not daft.

I think this was bound to happen after the decision to hedge most of their bets on Microsoft's operating system. This need not necessarily be seen as Nokia falling apart. All the engineers working on the software side had to be let go at some point of time.
UK LulzSec suspect charged with hacking in US
There's not one thing in this comment that is true or makes sense. Channel 4 has nothing to do with the BBC. ISPs are trying to charge the BBC for iPlayer bandwidth, not the other way round.
"The only people who will avoid this are the actual criminals, because there are ways around this - you use an internet cafe, you hack into somebody's wi-fi, you use what's called proxy servers, and they are just the easy ways."

It's sad that it's shocking for a politician to be able to actually list ways that this sort of system can be worked around.
Nice trick. I use Opera as well, and didn't know about this.

However, i can't think of any other software where modifier keys makes a difference in context-menus, so i really wouldn't blame people for not knowing.
Fair enough, thanks for the clarification. I was reading it still in context to the parent comment.

Note that the analysis is based on a de-duplicated list of hashes - and it is not a frequency analysis of how many people use passwords. Instead, it is an analysis of how many cracked passwords contain certain strings.

"link" is not the most common password, as the Forbes article claims, but instead, the most common substring in unique cracked passwords.
Oddly enough, Elop and the board who hired him are not among those...

You don't want to shoot video on a full-frame 35mm sensor. The depth of field is way too shallow; you'll spend more time fussing with it and getting blurry results than you will composing and shooting.

An APS-sized sensor is about the same size as a 35mm motion-picture frame; a much better choice for video-heavy use.

"How is that even a function of the operating system?"

My statement was provocative, I guess. This is like a Harley driver asking if a Yamaha is a real Motorcycle (is it?).

Backup is not a function of the operating system, but the key question is whether software is available FOR the operating system. Could be even an issue of bios, but who cares except theorists?

Prometheus is leaked only as a camrip. Do you know how terrible camrip quality is? Do a google image search for "Prometheus camrip". Now compare and contrast that to the 1080p trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPW015u8m-g).

Camrips are not a serious threat. Day zero 1080p 5.1 leaks most certainly are.
Opera is still not getting some basic features right and that is costing them users.

I remember asking for a feature in forums in days of Opera 11.00. The feature was something that every browser has: "Remembering contents of a text field." For example, when I enter my email address once in a website and then come back another day and write first letter of my email id, it is displayed in a dropdown. But Opera outright refused to even consider.

Now, they lack a good full screen mode and drag and drop support in GMail, two real deal breakers for me. I tried Opera 12 for less than 12 min and sent it back to dark corners of my HD!

Goodbye Opera 12.

I don't think it's always a bad thing, either, but there are better and worse ways of doing it. A regular HN user who sometimes submits something they wrote, when they think it would be of interest to HN, is quite a bit different from an account that exists solely to auto-submit every post from a blog to HN, without otherwise participating.
Interesting comparisons.

However (not slating Go, which I think is excellent), I genuinely think Go is going to go the same way as plan9 eventually. Unfortunately, its predecessor (C) is good enough, much as UNIX was good enough compared to plan9.

reddit don't aspire to democracy. Note that the set of links on the default page aren't the most popular or up-voted; they are from a pre-selected set of reddits that e.g. include atheism but not e.g. hinduism. This gives a feedback loop -- Hindus see offensive hate speech, and go away. Atheists see an accepting community, and more come in. The types of content and community you see there is clearly engineered -- I think most incidentally, and a little intentionally.
That blog post was fascinating — I had no idea the Fan community was so mobilised (nor that they were even a community cohesive enough to have a name, nor that the name was Fans).

I wonder how many other comprehensive communities exist like this, somewhat under the radar, serving themselves.
This requires two different teams, while the nouveau/lima "blackbox strategy" (put something in, watch out's out, make conclusions, rinse, repeat) only requires one team to implement clean room.
They can MITM SSL/TLS if they manage to forge the certificates in question, or on both endpoints by having a snooping backdoor in place on either the server or the client.

anybody around here who prefers analog photography to digital

Yes and no. I prefer the act of shooting with analog cameras (especially older, almost entirely mechanical cameras) over digital cameras, but at the end of the day the overall convenience of digital outweighs that.
They still have over 100,000 employees. And they're building new factories in Asia. And their Lumia phones are best sellers in several countries. I don't think they're going anywhere yet.

Edit: Could you explain why they should commit suicide? Are you saying the executive board has failed? I think it's much too early to tell.
Totally normal, except for the cashier salary bit. Your perceived impact on sales is not related to that, 90% is actually too low, often it could be more. Code quality is often good, but usually is much less important in what we developers tend to think.

That's why VB6 product market still exists.

Think of it this way - 100% of ANY business is maintenance. Once you build McDonalds and In-and-Out, the rest is 100% maintenance and just actually producing the burgers (what you call maintenance)
Absolutely not. As I mentioned in a separate comment, they still have over 100,000 employees. And they're building new factories in Asia. And their Lumia phones are best sellers in several countries. I don't think they're going anywhere yet.

Edit: Nokia alone had 53k, and counting Nokia Siemens they had over 100k. Now it's -10k from Nokia.

I totally agree with the question "Do I really need this?"
No I don't. But there is an idea behind asking those information.

I don't care about their data. But I do care about them and I would like to see people who care about the app which will try to solve some problem of them. I would like to have a passionate user base(100s) rather than collecting 1000s of emails. I would like to talk with them, one by one and ask them if we can help them.

Some people told me there are similar tools, some asked me questions, some shared their love and interest to use the app. Some said "Landing page sucks" which I agree a lot! Some asked for a job.. I wouldn't get this if I was only asking their email address.

173 people even wrote something to remarks. Only 60 people did not write their names ( some of them did not write their names but put some remarks )

448 people filled out their name. Only 1 of them has name-surname "In Valid" and his email address is avalid@email.com I bet he is a bot.

First name - Last name fields are not required. People who follow Hacker News are already experienced Web users who knows clearly a sign of Required Field, they might easily skip it, but they did not. The rest of the emails are already indicating their name and surname.

If they don't care and they don't request an invite; which means I would be more efficiently spend my time.

It might have a better conversion rate without asking their name, but I don't care about the conversion rate that much.

Don't get me wrong, I am not against what you say, I am trying to rationalize the behavior with data.
