Submission + - Microsoft developer tools abandon Windows XP suppo (microsoft.com)
GigaplexNZ writes: Earlier this year a bug was filed against the developer preview of the next version of Visual Studio complaining that applications built with it are incompatible with Windows XP. Pat Brenner from Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries Development issued a response: "Thanks for the report. This behavior is by design in MFC and CRT for Visual Studio vNext. The minimum supported operating systems are Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Vista. Windows XP is not a supported operating system for the release (design-time or run-time)." Can Microsoft seriously be considering preventing early adopters of the next version of Visual Studio from supporting a large portion of their existing customer base?
Submission + - GoDaddy Backs SOPA (ibtimes.com) 1
redletterdave writes: "Website hosting company GoDaddy has officially voiced its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) Bill in 2012, which is designed to thwart movie and music piracy on the Internet by empowering copyright holders to effectively shut down websites or online services found with infringing material. If passed, the U.S. government could blacklist any website it deems in violation of copyright, which could range from a few posts in a Web forum to a few links sent in an e-mail. GoDaddy supports SOPA for "protecting the intellectual property of hard-working Americans, U.S. business and the American public from the harm that necessarily flows from the purchase of counterfeit products." Yet, of the 142 companies that support the SOPA bill, GoDaddy is the only Internet company on that list."

You either haven't understood the Towers of Hanoi, or this puzzle.
Here's a link for you to read what Towers of Hanoi exactly are. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi
Towers of Hanoi aims at moving a set of discs in the same order from one peg to another, and this one's just talking about sorting.

More than how the OS works, I think a more important question is the availability of apps for the platform.
There are many people whose worlds lie outside apps provided for Flixster, Facebook and Twitter. Are there any apps any webOS users found no substitute for, when they shifted from Android? Or other way round?
Note: I bumped across this on doing a simple Google search: http://www.hpwebos.com/us/products/software/mobile-applications.html
A lot like a market/app store for webOS.

You could think like that.
If there was no such thing as `inflation'. The drop in price is far more than $31k in today's terms. Imagine what you could buy in 31k in those days (I wouldn't know. I deal in fucking rupees).

Submission + - More with the Linux inside the web-browser (stackoverflow.com) 1

The documentation[2] is not enough for me. Hopefully, you will make something out of it and do cooler things with the browser.
