This is a fundamentally wrong understanding of how reading works. This way may be ideal for close reading but full speed reading needs the whole page and the ability to bounce around visually.

"New codebase... Twisted." Is this satire?

best of luck, if I was in the situation I'd definitely sue in small claims court.

Amazing that CNN is this scared of the people to be pushing the CIA-funded method of social resistance.

hahaha. Next you'll be saying the programmers that did this will unionize.
Re:Pastie.org host pulls hosting after DDoS attack on Tuesday April 24, 2012 @05:56PM (#3886538)
I really enjoyed this, the user experience is very nice and its a well designed site.

I tend to use Gist now because its improved and I have a client for it, but this is a shame to see.

Re:Keeping bash history in sync between multiple terminals on Monday March 26, 2012 @03:54AM (#3755581)
He's joking that Zsh isn't Bash and therefor doesn't keep Bash's history in sync.

It's built as an affinity group builder. You're the one doing the networking, not the website. It only shares your information in a small group, not en masse. It's very smart really, building webs of trust.

It seems to eat the cursor for me on a development chrome (18.0.1010.0 dev / Mac)
Re:Show HN: We just launched our MVP, a new RSS Reader on Wednesday December 28, 2011 @10:51PM (#3402436)
Same here. It also would be nice to have a selection screen after you do the OPML import to verify if you still want all that crap :)
The website has the graphic 40+ and tells me theres over 50 quizes... why?
Re:Reasons to install Sublime Text 2 on Thursday December 15, 2011 @11:45AM (#3356835)
The title doesn't have to do with the joke though... at least I'm not seeing it. The old spice thing is funny and is fairly obviously not sexist but the title could be a little less so.
Re:Ready For a Reddit Replacement? on Wednesday August 31, 2011 @09:44PM (#2948319)
No social platform is going to disrupt the existing systems until they decouple content and organization. The main issue is that we assume that all 'upvotes' are equal. If a user can select who is in their filter layer (like in Twitter), as opposed to selecting content (a subreddit), there will be a shift away from the cycle of bread and circuses.

Hubski may be doing that but only implementing this one graph node deep and only having one default category for information, will probably not create a vibrant and diverse community.

Re:Fox’s 8-Day Delay on Hulu Triggers Piracy Surge on Monday August 22, 2011 @10:57PM (#2915145)
HBO should have had this with my cable company a while ago. Too little too late, they lost me as a customer by mock-C&Ding the cable company.

Could be because of the width constraint (could be self imposed)
Re:3rd largest Bitcoin exchange lost its wallet.dat on Sunday July 31, 2011 @02:03PM (#2829009)
Maybe they don't say EUR much in polish and they used a "for money" kind of phrase and gtranslate was being "helpful."
Re:The Facebook Phone on Friday July 29, 2011 @05:48PM (#2823944)
That and the Facebook application for Android is one of the worst apps out there.
Some openness. Waiting for corporations to deem it fit for public scrutiny but not public usage? Makes me suspicious if they released all the GPL'd parts or if they missed some.
I just loaded the page, the last thing to load: post titles. Simply amazing that they don't see this as an issue.

When do we get out Congress of Vienna and World Wars on brands/IP then?
If you foster a positive community relationship, you don't get hurt as bad by it. I don't think its really worth the struggle. (See Swype for example, people would just like for them to take their money, I still don't know if you can buy it yet.)
