It's self-signed, expired more than 1 year ago. It could be the reason for the warnings. Any plans to fix that? And there is also the other domain to consider, universityofreddit.com

I deleted that comment with Noscript click-Del (new feature), but that kills the answers too. The suggestion by jlev (hellbanned) is not working here.

HN has templates for submissions now? Both titles read exactly like this:

  Show HN: $MYAPP - A new way to listen to music on Youtube

(that was not a critic to either submission)

This bookmarklet should prompt for a title so you can clean it from excess capitalization, remove the site name, etc.

  javascript:window.location=%22http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+%22&t=%22+encodeURIComponent(prompt(%22Submission%20title:%22,document.title))

  > ??? x = &arr;

Does this compile? I thought an array was treated like a constant pointer, inexistent in memory so you cannot take its address, increment it, or attribute it another value. Although the point made by RegEx about sizeof, which I didn't remember, convinced me that an array is not actually a constant pointer.

To make my thoughts clear, if arr is equivalent to &arr[0], then wouldn't &arr be equivalent to &&arr[0]?

> it isn't solving any real problem for the user. It is only creating nuisance.

That's the whole purpose of it - creating enough nuisance so that average Joe can't get out of Windows ecosystem. Each OEM will implement the disabling option in their own obscure way, and some of them will even fail to work properly. I remember when I needed one boot pendrive for each of my computers.

I'm too lazy to install Tor, so: http://isax7s5yooqgelbr.onion.to/

This guy did it with 6 characters by removing {}. But it lacks the detailed description available in this post.

EDIT: I didn't check properly. You only use {} for a minor detail.

This is not an answer, but there is a previous discussion in a submission of mine: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4136682

Ah, so you only get those blurred answers if you come from a search engine. That's the first time I see it in action. I have javascript disabled so I get an opaque block over the answer.

I could put the answer in the title, but it would get edited back to OP's title.

Hardware implementors suck at implementing firmware. Didn't you ever had trouble trying to boot from a pendrive? They couldn't get it right with BIOS, why should I think they won't screw it in UEFI? And if they screw it, what will be the workarond? Enable Secure Boot?

Don't businesses use the corporate versions of browsers? EDIT: never mind, it would be useless in this case, Google does not keep the old versions. Crap.

Symlinks are not synced automatically, only when restarting Dropbox, or pause/resume syncing.

Explorer works like an alternative player when creating the thumbnails, so it can use the same codecs as media player. You could have only the codecs and remove media player, and thumbnails still should work.

There is a 64-bit media player, it's just not the default, maybe due to lack of 3rd-party 64-bit codecs at the time. To make it default: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-w...

When I run into a website that breaks my experience, it slows down my computer, crashes the browser and takes away the comment I was about to write. No, thanks.

> Eliminating abstract math education in the early school years, or allowing young students to opt out of rigorous math classes, will only serve to increase the disparity between those who “get it” and those who don’t. Those who have a grasp of mathematics will have many career paths open to them that will be closed to those who have avoided it.

This is currently true on programming, which is (was?) left out of the basic curriculum.

If you don't post frequently you can pinpoint where you got the mark. Search posts by your user and see where the auto-dead begins. I did some trollish posts on my first account, but got a ban because of a front-paged duplicate instead.

Details on my profile. I felt cheated because I had no heavily downvoted comments.

> (And ideally, stop allowing users to put documents on their desktop -- it just confuses things and nobody has ever come up with an intuitive way to integrate that with the concept of user folders (my desktop is inside my user folder, what?). Documents on a desktop is an outgrown metaphor that just nobody seems to have the courage to jettison.)

Why not make the desktop the home folder, so my files are quick to access? Maybe one could even create a second Desktop for shortcuts and user actions.

We can't even request features anymore. The topic linked on the bottom, which was treated specially and kept open for replies, suffers the same problem.

EDIT: the whole problem is gone as I finish posting. HN is back to its former shape. I should <strike> my comment.

Thanks for reminding me about that post. I was about to skip it because it no longer appears on hckrnews.com.

I had a bad experience with a disappearing post of mine.

They don't? Orkut showed you who has seen your profile (but not in real time).

Don't know if anyone will read this. Requiring to enable JavaScript was expected, but enabling images too? I rarely see web pages that don't even try to work at all with images disabled.

In other sports both teams are expected to score tens, even hundreds of times. In soccer one goal often is enough. Collecting stats for analysis seems entertaining for the observers, but how is that useful for the teams, in a sport that is so dependent on luck?

I thought that would be about the new audio search by Microsoft.

I can't understand why http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/ is always trying to redirect me to /nojs and say it needs javascript. With blocked redirects I can navigate that site just fine. It clearly works without JS, expect it lacks Google Plus and something else.

> I wonder if someone missed a server when decommissioning the cluster?

I submitted because I wanted to hear a possible explanation. I see that some sites have some nested content, but nothing found when you go to their root. Is it because they are just missing index.html? EDIT: thanks for correcting me, sp332.

FTA: (...) a combination of commodity hardware and open-source firmware.

It's OK that you suggest RouterOS, I'm just saying OP is not supposed to mention it.

I used Opera from version 8 to 10 because it let me quickly enable/disable Flash and javascript on a global basis. Then I found NoScript, with its fine-tuning options, and moved definitely to Firefox. It's not as annoying as some people think, just 1 or 2 clicks on a menu and reload if I really want to see the page.

I use private browsing for the privacy paranoia. No need to block cookies. I block JS and Flash mainly to protect from buggy sites that thrash CPU and memory.

EDIT: also, it has surrogate scripts to fix some sites, for instance it removes clutter from Google Search links. And ABE has almost the same functionality as RequestPolicy.
