Milky Way is never visible so clearly to the naked eye, its just the high exposure shot that makes it visible.

I don't understand why this whole issue is being looked at from a feminist Angle. What would the reaction be if a guy has tweeted the same thing? I am not sure if what she did was right/wrong. deciding if she is right or wrong considering it a action of a women saddens me.

This reminds me of one of Douglas Crockford's talk. The story goes some thing like this.

* Some Russian Porn site uses jsonp using Crockford's host and he get a huge bill

* He polity asks them to host their own version and they don't reply

* He redirects the site to 'http://fbi.gov

* He receives a call from the FBI, because they have been getting suspicious traffic from some Russian site

* He then goes on to add a alert box with a annoying warning saying the site stole his bandwidth. Who cares for warnings any ways?

* He finally puts a loop in the JS file so that the other site wont load. He finally wins

Not a JS/Programming Pro here so please pardon my ignorance. One major problem faced by me in JavaScript is the weird handling of floats. This kind of application will end up dealing with floats. How should I avoid errors? or does Tangle itself handle the conversions?

I could expect this out of Go Daddy, but should the people approving this patent also be blamed?

thank you i will give it a shot :)

come to think of it I should really give a shot at the assignments and see how better i retain knowledge

Any one being cynical about Coursera is definitely having a perspective of the traditional college/school structure, i.e assignments, exams and grades equals knowledge. That need not be true, because any one would be enrolling in the courses just to get their curiosity fueled and gain some knowledge which or else they would have absolutely no access to. I have been enrolling in at least two courses a month and i make a point to finish all the lectures and understand them before enrolling for more, but i have had no time to actually do the assignments and take the quizzes. Ill not get a certificate of completion i.e iam a drop out, but i have access to knowledge and i free to choose what i want to learn.

yes google apps gtalk is also down

Not big a news as the Title suggests. Gist: He quit as editor and started a seed fund

As awesome the _why's guide to ruby, is we shoudnt forget other things like Shoes,Hackety hack,camping among other things _why has contributed. BTW any one has read "nobody knowns shoes?" It is all a worth while read.

Wikipedia is a good thing, it is better off we try not to compare it with other "good" things.

Once Proper logistics is set up imagine how much profits it can make. because every book sold is minus the show room,lights and other infrastructure costs?

What made you think books are not given the love they need? expanding their products doesn't mean focus is lost.

And also a way to may be down vote/eliminate certain posts. Eg:What's new in PostgreSQL 9.0 - a User's Perspective,382 days ago. Wont be much useful.

please mind my ignorance, can some point out whats the main "reasons" Android is bad?

If you explain it the humor evaporates

The reason Linux seems to be un friendly is because windows takes care you as a baby,most of the time you are not in control and there is nothing much to worry. So if kids where exposed to Linux first this problem would not arise IMHO

But the reason behind it?thats what iam not getting.

I really dont get why OP is so scared about eliminating the presence of all google services? Some services might be bad agreed,but why ditch everything? sounds paranoid to me. Replace chrome with firefox. whats the point?

Could some one please elaborate on vim Vs PyCharm? I mean pros and cons?

A domain name server(DNS) is what leads you to a particular website, For example when u type http://news.ycombinator.com its forwarded to your ISP DNS and from there it is forwarded to the IP of Hacker news. This new act if passed will have let them have control over all the DNS servers of ISP's. That means the site which they dont want you to see get blocked easily.

what i have from my own experience is every one treats technical courses like a mathematical function. Go through course Y and you will be more smarter than people from course X.I always keep hearing stuff like "Brigding the gap between industry and acedemia" which i never seem to understand. Trying to do something other then mentioned in your ciricullum is considered taboo. Most of my friends have "outsourced" thier final semester academic projects to a institute which prepares it for them. Dont trust me? have a look at this http://goaltechnologies.in/new/?page_id=13

I had posted the same link on HN yesterday but had wrongly added the title of "Why pride of being hacker is bad". Which i realized later so had to delete it.The real title should have been "Arrogance of being a Hacker"

That would totally be on individual comfort wont it? i would love to type END instead of '}'with a shift

not my idea else i would have :P

The idea is unique and not published anywhere,hence the patent
