Article about a paywall behind a paywall? Stack overflow...
London's tube map almost lost the river recently, too, but they quickly put it back on the map.

Shoreditch? /sigh Yea, I know it's a "startup hub", but it's also a bit dodgy.

I don't think that the sentiment was that no one should copy it, but rather that, by copying it, Apple will see them as a legitimate target.

Upvoted only to say that this article is apppalling - FUD all over. (feels strange to "defend" the government, but this dude is way off line).

Re:Ask HN: What terminal emulator do you use ? on Sunday August 30, 2009 @05:05AM (#794270)
xterm bundled with Leopard.

It supports 256 colors and is very fast. Terminal.app only for quick sessions. If only X11 fullscreen feature worked properly... (should probably try the latest build of XQuartz)

Actually, no. The real issue is using compiler's front-end from the IDE itself. While it's true that C++ is hugely complex IDE writers shouldn't try to replace compilers (ie. trying as hard as they might they'll never get around C++ templates and their touring-completeness). MS got this right. gcc and every IDE that relies on it (like Xcode) is crippled in this regard.
