I would love to take a class for building a computer like this.

Re:Microsoft ditching the Nokia name on smartphones on Wednesday October 22, 2014 @01:13PM (#8493704)
Nokia got lazy. They saw the iPhone and didn't change course until it was too late. If anything, Microsoft kept them above ground.

Microsoft entered the mobile game too late. The OS is great. It's just hard playing catch-up when you are not the cool kid.
Re:Verizon's accidental mea culpa on Thursday July 17, 2014 @04:20PM (#8049948)
Doesn't Verizon realize they lose customers for crap like this? My phone contract with Verizon is up in November. I can't wait to be done with them.
First thought I had when I saw the gameplay was 2D Mirror's Edge.

Fasting reminds him of what true hunger is and therefore avoids eating throughout the week when he is not truly hungry.
Re:Let's change the HN title bar to #663399 on Thursday June 12, 2014 @01:24PM (#7884717)
#663399Becca would be even better.

Edit: I was thinking page title. #663399 as the color for the header would be really nice too.

Re:Source code from the book “HTML5 Game Engines” on Wednesday June 11, 2014 @11:27AM (#7878490)
I agree. It would be much better if the keydown vars were set to false on an actual keyup event rather than setting it to false after the paddle is moved.
Re:Source code from the book “HTML5 Game Engines” on Wednesday June 11, 2014 @10:43AM (#7878230)
Yes, seeing as you can't really create much of an engine with just the DOM.
With all the hate that is going around right now for ISPs, it amazes me that they would roll something out like this.
Re:Try to close this tab on Friday June 06, 2014 @12:27PM (#7858852)
Why does something like this make it to the front page of HackerNews? I'm surprised that it would get enough upvotes.
Re:PlayCanvas goes open source on Wednesday June 04, 2014 @03:52PM (#7847748)
Just because you can view the source code does not mean that it is open source.

I'm thinking she might be afraid of the word "Hacker".
Re:LibreSSL on Tuesday April 22, 2014 @10:59AM (#7628024)
You must be trolling.

The site is ugly and I'm sure they would agree. That clearly is not the focus of their work.

"It's not pro- or anti-JavaScript;"

OK

Re:QEMU 2.0.0 Released on Thursday April 17, 2014 @01:56PM (#7605153)
QEMU (short for "Quick EMUlator") is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization. QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor: It emulates central processing units through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of device models, enabling it to run a variety of unmodified guest operating systems. It also provides an accelerated mode for supporting a mixture of binary translation (for kernel code) and native execution (for user code), in the same fashion as VMware Workstation and VirtualBox do. QEMU can also be used purely for CPU emulation for user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one architecture to be run on another.

Re:Amazon Will Pay You $5,000 to Quit Your Job on Friday April 11, 2014 @10:28AM (#7573021)
If this is true (handpick), they need to update that article.
Re:Amazon Will Pay You $5,000 to Quit Your Job on Friday April 11, 2014 @10:25AM (#7573001)
They might also think, "What other place would offer me $5,000 to quit? I'm staying here."

It's classic reverse psychology.

Laughing at the word sexchange is a little insensitive to people who have had a sexchange.

Transgender people have it tough. Give them a break.

Re:Speaking JavaScript on Thursday March 20, 2014 @09:44AM (#7435456)
It makes sense. Just because both things are not something does not mean they are the same.
Re:Android coming to wearables on Tuesday March 18, 2014 @01:02PM (#7423184)
I can't help but think of this as a pimped out house arrest ankle bracelet.

Lets not go down this road. This is like the guns don't kill people debate.
You're also a dick.
