They were already doing this. Maybe in just some places I guess? Previously their cap was 250GB and they would call or threaten disconnect if you hit that multiple months. Then they switched to the block plan where you could go over and just get the extra charge instead of the threats. Then for a good while (up to now, last I checked) they completely put the cap on hold, I'm guessing to test how customers were impacted?? But now perhaps they're either rolling out the block plan everywhere, or just reinstating it and giving proper notice before they turn it back on. So this isn't really new, but short of providing an unlimited plan, this is a good alternative in my opinion.
Yea, its recaptcha. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.
It shows up with the HN theme (orange bar at top and beige background) but without other links/text like user info on the right or the footer. I first noticed it the other day when I started using a wired connection at work instead of WiFi.
This might be unrelated, but I'm constantly being prompted for captcha even when I'm just viewing and not trying to respond. Can something be done about this?
It would be nice if I didn't have to set up _another_ repo. Integrating with GitHub or BitBucket would be preferred (be backed by, not just import). That said, I wouldn't actually use it since GitHub lets you edit individual files through the UI. Just an observation. The rest looks nice though.
Maybe they're in the process of gathering their coins!
Maybe you should allow downvoting for everyone then. I'm more likely to downvote a dismissive reply then I am to upvote every positive reply to overtake it. And on the mention of dismissive comments: as a frequent visitor I feel emotionally safer just reading and not posting... so if there is a karma threshold for allowing downvotes, I doubt I will ever hit it.

When someone contributes to an open source project, at what point should their name be added to the copyright notice for the file(s) they edited?

I wonder how many people have started their programming experience on a TI calculator. I had the same way in with a TI-85.
In other languages n is the number between 1-100 passed into the method. The loop is outside of fizzbuzz_solve.
=\ No point in trying with Java then?
I don't understand why this only gets a score of 1:
static String[] c = { "", "FizzBuzz", "Buzz", "Fizz" };
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
c[0] = ""+i;
int f = ((int)Math.ceil((i%3)/3.0))+1;
int b = ((int)Math.ceil((i%5)/5.0))*2;
System.out.println(c[(f+b)%4]);
}
}

CloudFlare doesn't like direct IP access =\
wut? This is for mailto links on webpages, not links within an email to webpages.
Are you counting the Storm 1 in the 'best hardware' category? Or just the newest of the new?

oh dang, just lost about 30m. will bookmark.
I'd be on it if they supported Google apps accounts and not just gmail.
Seven proxies couldn't hold them back.
You can invite people by adding their email/gmail as a person to share a post with on your stream. You don't need a send invite button. I was able to invite ppl even when it was supposedly closed last week.
Lulz has a problem with someone else going after Sega, but thinks its all peachy when they're the ones behind the wheel exposing the faults? Either they are jealous or their intentions aren't to force people to take responsibility for poor security.
submitting the form will mail and fax your congressmen. so, it is not just another online petition. i got replies from two of them, though canned they seemed, but i know they got them at least.
I was actually thinking about this a couple hours before I saw this. Crazy. Just not about the anonymity part. One thing I came up with was that instead of a trusted website bootstrapper to show a new node to the swarm, one of the nodes could update a DNS record to point to itself. If that node fails, another node is choosen to update the record.

I was reading an article about the AnonOps IRC server being shut down, and started wondering if it would be feasible to use the same sort of concept used for bitcoins to decentralise communication like a forum.
