Re:How Wikipedia uses HTML5 to save bandwidth on Monday January 23, 2012 @12:57AM (#3499286)
This has nothing to do with HTML5 and everything to do with SVG specs. Just because SVG is in the HTML5 specs doesn't mean that is what it is (Based on the comments on the blogs).

This may interest you, The HTML5 formatting[1] (Doctype and other magic) isn't enabled on en.wikipedia only MediaWiki wiki and the two test platforms:

   'wgHtml5' => array(
      'default' => false,
      'mediawikiwiki' => true,
      'testwiki' => true,
      'test2wiki' => true,
   ),

As to my very basic understanding of Aus law they can't, they would need to take him to court and prove he broke the law before they can presue costs, Which is very hard since the police have decided not to investigate the matter because they believe he didn't break the law.
Re:What RSS reader do you use, and what does it lack? on Sunday July 10, 2011 @10:24PM (#2749221)
I use google reader as well, although for me it's missing the options to sort feeds based on their name, and the option to hide any that don't have any unread items.

Didn't some one post something similar last year(?) and it ended up they were getting chucked into the wrong server pool or something and someone at google fixed that?

Except the US says the border radius covers something like 100 miles inwards from all locations so basically everything is covered.

Re:Google May Kill Chrome URL Bar on Monday February 21, 2011 @06:42PM (#2247857)
Yes but the next time you download/save something it appears again (and can be a pain if you are downloading a few things in one go) compared to Firefox where you can hide its download manager behind the window.

As well as the height of it is over what it really needs to be, The download bar in Chrome really shouldn't need to be any taller than the tab bar.

Re:Google May Kill Chrome URL Bar on Sunday February 20, 2011 @08:29PM (#2243848)
If google really wanted to do something about the space, they would look towards the download bar.

CL was a no shit, simpleish text layout website, yours can't even be advertised as a CL replacement, It's something else entirely .

"NOW ACCEPTING CANADIAN ORDERS !" since when was Canada apart of the USA?
They only thoroughly checked about ~2000 of the documents according to a speech Julian gave on Lateline (Australian TV Show), They [wikileaks] did offer the US government a chance to check though and blank any names they found but they did not accept the offer.

Re:Ask HN: Decent software for making Gantt charts? on Sunday July 25, 2010 @12:10AM (#1544947)
Visio is nice but pricey. Basic Gantt charts can be done in most spreadsheeting apps and word processors that support tables but you can't link objects together.

Re:Ask HN: Would you hire me if this was my resume? on Monday May 17, 2010 @09:50PM (#1356145)
* Don't let information split over pages where possible, It's better to move them onto the next page so they are all together (Eg: you're education, CakePHP sections).

* I would also consider putting page numbers on them (In a small font, so if people print it out they can easily sort them)

* Also what paper settings are you using, It seems landscape to me? Use A4 or Letter (Depending on your local standard) and portrait mode, since most bosses like just to pile up the resumes and other documents they receive together and to be able to easily look at them, Having to flip them around is just a pain.

What about status.net for the base (what identi.ca runs on), It could easily provide the base for the activity/status feed since that is basically what it's designed to do anyway (And it's open source!).

Then you would just add on the other parts you want to system (for example: pages, apps etc)

You don't need Facebook to play, Farmville.com. Although since its written in flash,it is unlikely that it will ever be on i{Pod/Phone/Pad} systems.
