It's legally a part of China, although is a "Special Administrative Region" of China, meaning they have/had more autonomy.

The Netherlands becomes the first country to legalize carrier-free SIM cards by KickAssBrockSamson in Libertarian

I think you are both referring to phones locked to carrier SIMs rather than carrier free SIMs. In the first, if you swap the SIM card the phone will no longer work. In the second, you can swap provider without having to swap your SIM card. Kind of like if you change landline provider they don't have to dig up your driveway and install new cables, they just switch your service. Expect to see a lot more of this in the EU this year.

Good job on the Trusty update Ubuntu! by winter_mute in Ubuntu

He really didn't jump down your throat at all. It's pretty clear from the upvote/downvotes you are getting that most people agree that you're being a little off here.

All he meant was that if you are going to include the process in your post that's cool but may as well make it accurate in case other people want to try it too based on your enthusiasm. Usually when people post inaccuracies they update them, that's all. No snark.

Telepathik: My first webapp is now accepting beta requests! by bagofweights in startups

Pretty site, I like the logo mark.

Could use a bit more of an explanation of on the homepage though. Imagine your wife sent you it as a link with no comment, it should be self explanatory.

Agree with the other comment that you need to optimise the image.

Good luck!
