In NYC downtown could be the southern portion of Manhattan and pretty much anywhere in Brooklyn. The two most southern (down) areas in the city, not counting S.I. which really doesn't count anyway. That is why the subway signs say Bklyn/Downtown. Uptown would be anywhere north of Central Park in Manhattan or anywhere in the Bronx. The most northern parts of the city. That is why the subway signs say Bronx/Uptown. In NYC the terms 'uptown' and 'downtown' are purely geographical.

In other cases I would consider the term 'downtown' to be the oldest portion of the city. For example in Philadelphia. This would be much harder to pick out in a city like London that's much older.

I live in Washington DC. Here, the term is only used when you are outside of DC and it is used loosely to describe any location inside of DC. If you were in Virginia or Maryland and said you were going 'downtown' that would mean only that you were going to any location inside Washington DC.

I'm a strange city I would assume the term downtown referred to the less kept more rustic area that looks kind of ghetto but is a little more artsy/trendy than the rest of the city.

I'm not at all professionally qualified to answer that, but I would have to guess that it's the exact reverse of motion sickness. With motion sickness I common cause (or at least in me) is from reading in the car. In that scenario you are focused on something stationary while your senses all feel as though you are being propelled down the road. In this case you are focused on what honestly looks to me like a standard animation of a wormhole, while everything else is telling you that you are stationary.

The problem with this thought (thought of it while typing but too late to turn back) is that if focusing on something like a half second wormhole animation while sitting still makes you sick for the reason I suggested, then you probably wouldn't be able to do other basic things like watch television.

I'm not bashing Apple at all. Never said anything negative about them before, but I can say this. I've had an iPhone, an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 5. I've used iOS, 2.X.X, 3.X.X, 4X.X, 5.X.X, and 6.1. I have seen iOS7 but didn't install it. If 7.1 looks like 7, this will be my last iPhone.

Again thanks. I knew nothing of this.

That's the most brilliant simple solution I've ever heard.

In gmail if you don't archive something it goes away on its own and it's lost. I've been using Instapaper daily for about 3 years and have always considered it one of my favorite iOS apps. I use the 'read later' folder for exactly what it is. A dumping ground. A sort of limbo. When I want to save things for an extended period I just move them into a different (non-readlater) folder. They stay there. Not only that, but they are categorized.

There are a lot of stories/comments on HN that I disagree with, but in this case I really don't understand what the problem is at all. Maybe I am missing the point because I'm not using a designated "archive" function and don't realize how much better it is. Is there a reason archiving is better?

The last time I saw this posted I installed it on 2 computers. One was running Mac OS 10.8.1, the other BackTrack 5r2. I have it installed on both and the command xiki-status returns "running" but I have not got it properly implemented in any text editor. I have tried in emacs and vim on both. If anyone gets it to work, especially in vim on Mac (which is very limited), please let me know as the instructions are not helpful, there is no helpful discussion on website and and the only option is to file a bug report. My problems aren't a bug, they are lack of info available.

They are correct. iFile works great for giving you a Finder styled file manager inside the idevice. iFile is also the best utility for doing things like decompressing etc.

If you want to see the files inside your phone in a file manager on your computer most people go with OpenSSH/Cyberduck. Personally I like Netatalk which makes your device just show up as though it was an external hard drive and breaks down the folder hierarchy the same any Linux distro.

Half on subject. Just a note about fair pricing:

I downloaded my first pirated copy of anything ever the other day and this is why.

My son is playing LEGO star wars. He asks me how to advance and I tell him I don't know. He asks, "haven't you seen the movie?" I say yes, would you like to? Of course he says yes.

I set out to find a Star Wars (a new hope). Can you buy from iTunes? No. Netflix have it? No. And so on. The only option was Amazon who only had it as a super deluxe diamond ultra edition box set for more more digits worth of money than I was willing to spend on a movie that I saw in theater for less than $5. Things need to be reasonably priced for reasonable people to pay for them.

According to apple I (or my wife) have purchased 261 mobile apps. Most for real money.

I think the best business model I've encountered from a revenue point of view was a chess game that came in two varieties. There wasn't free to pay or pay to play (reg & lite), there was $1.99 and $6.99 (reg & pro), the second just being much more featured. I bought both. No upgrade option. Bought both outright, because $2 is a reasonable gamble and $7 more is reasonable for a game I know I like.

I wonder how the developer is doing.

While I do agree with the side you are arguing for, last winter I bought a pair of brown Lacoste shoes that had wool inside them. I sought out the specific pair of shoes because they didn't have a single logo except in the rubber of the sole and I didn't want to be /that/ guy.

I'm in the US and you have all really got me curious about the Aussie coffee. I too hate Starbucks and find it quite bitterly me a pot that's been on all day).

Unfortunately I just prefer Big Coffees off the shelf brand, but don't know what to try. Just that it's not Starbucks.

Is there somewhere that I can order Aussie coffee from and know its actually the coffee you describe and not just branded 'Aussie'?

I just bought it for $2.99 in WashingtonDC

It's not 'not guilty' it's 'not /found/ guilty'. Maybe I /am/ guilty.

(Just making a point. I am getting a kick out of reading this thread. I own >15 apple devices and every one of them has duct tape over the apple logo because I think their legal b.s. is just that. B.S. In 2000 I was cool for being the Apple guy. Now I'm ashamed of it. I just honestly still believe they make superior products. Show me a non Apple laptop that I can pick up and will feel as solid and sleek as my 2011 MacBook Pro all the way down to the even weight distribution, that I can install Linux Mint on and have it Just Work an ill buy it tonight.)

I'll let you all get back to topic at hand. I have to say thanks though. I never imagined getting so much helpful info. The super ability I seek seems like it would be in a less secure area because even cheap hardware store tools can do it. I am trying to remove, relocate, or hide fault codes without resetting the emissions monitors. That way as a hush hush marketing ploy of my business I can truly "guarantee to pass" and depending on the solution possibly guarantee to never fail again.

I hit an idea slump in my normal utility making and decided to put my otherwise wasted time to use.

Thanks Again ~

What exactly do you do? The reason I ask is because 50 hours a week I'm an Auto Tech. The remaining hours that I'm awake I code. This week my project has been reverse engineering a pc based scanner that I have to learn about how it interacts with OBDII / CAN in an attempt to make a super tool that gives me specific abilities. The people I deal with during day know nothing of computers and the people I deal with at night know nothing of cars.

You are the first person that I have ever heard mention both in the same post.
