Vanayad··on The Trade of the Century: When George Soros Broke the British Pound
I am really curious what would have happened if the British Government bought DM as well during this period (and maybe not disclose it?) Then they would exit the ERM, and the pound would fall and they would exchange all their money back to sterling and would be rich... :/ I know my logic has a mistake in it... it can't be that simple :P
Vanayad··on AdBlock Plus’s effect on Firefox’s memory usage
Same issue appears in chrome as well. Got the site they linked to ~ 2.4GB before the browser stopped responding.
Vanayad··on How to throttle the FCC to dial up modem speeds
Wouldn't it be awesome to have the major website/companies (like Facebook, Google, MS, Amazon, etc) have a landing page when accessing their site in a style like they did with SOPA but now the whole webpage is unavailable for ~1 minute "due to slowed down traffic" or something. I think that would get the attention of people. (Of course, this should run just for a limited time )
Vanayad··on Popcorn Time Is So Good at Movie Piracy, It’s Scary
Also mention that it is an unlimited data plan, with no caps or additional costs. Yes, that is a 1Gbps connection.
Vanayad··on Ask HN: Why is Facebook automatically liking pages?
Yeah, I do like some pages so it's not that they are doing A/B testing on me. The thing is, I do not think it is as you put it that people sell their pages or something... Because even if I do like pages, I know the ones which I liked and they are not that many. Moreover I noticed the same page being liked around the same time by more than 50 of my friends and it wasn't an invite to like a page as I always refuse those.
Vanayad··on 2013 Tesla Model S: Stuck on the Freeway
Oh no, a car has stopped working on the freeway. Oh is this happening every day to other manufacturers ? Why Yes? I'm Shocked!
Vanayad··on [Insane Prediction] Apple acquires Tesla and Musk becomes new CEO?
Well, you got the "Insane" part correct at least. Why on earth would Tesla want to be acquired by Apple who stifles innovation and would most likely try to make an 'iCar' instead of something looking good and having great engineering at a cheap price.
Vanayad··on Pear OS bought and is no longer available
Softpedia mentioned that they will be offering the version that they have on their servers until they will receive a letter of removal.

Here's the link: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linu...

Vanayad··on Preorder your very own cold fusion reactor
Considering it doesn't emit that much radiation, and the one it does is shielded by lead (afaik) it's ok. I've been reading about the Ecat for quite some time...at first I had my doubts...but after being peer reviewed, several tests and running in self-sustain for around 6 months... it is safe to assume it is going to work.
Vanayad··on MIT Wristband Could Make Air Conditioning Obsolete
First thought that passed through my mind as well :))
Vanayad··on Ubuntu Edge funding reaches $10M
Just remember that it is indiegogo and not kickstater. The project still gets funded even if the target is not reached.
