Long time C coder here. Knowing this stuff just shows you've had more interaction with your C compiler(s) than with humans, which is fine (I knew quite a few of the details except for some of the C++ differences because, well, I code C, not

Super comment, thank you very much. What about the Israeli/Palestinian issue? I find that tends to polarize people strongly as well.

Collaboration with a bad government is always optional, you can cease to do business. That's definitely tenable. It takes a lot of balls to do so. Imagine google coming right out and saying: 'Our do no evil motto is our guiding light and we

You should probably add a sarcasm tag to that. I'd have to take you serious otherwise.

Ah, but think of the sponsor & advertising angle. Rent out the space on your t-shirt. Eventually every surface will turn in to an ad. And animated ads after that. The animated t-shirt can't be all that far into our future.

Your problem with downvotes is yours, if you don't want to risk being downvoted you should probably not comment here. It happens. This 'not being reddit' (or slashdot for that matter) has nothing to do with it. Downvotes are a way to push n

An IPO may be much further down the line and not everybody wants to (or has to) run a public company. 'Going Public' is not just a positive thing, it comes with a large pile of headaches as well and it isn't unusual at all to see a big ch

You've nailed it perfectly. It's all about risk and trade-offs between security and risk.

Every time I've put a new upper limit on how weird a place the world really is someone will find a reference to something forcing me to revise the previous one. At some level I still have a hope that this will stop some day but I fear that

New rule: get your AV solution from a country other than your own. That should cover most of those cases.

I think part of this is because nowadays it requires far fewer people to keep track of the population than it did back then. Just mining Facebook and twitter will tell you what lots of people had for lunch...

That's not just supported 'by another book' but it matches what I feel about how we should treat clones. After all, if a clone is identical you'd have to come up with some pretty contorted reasoning to argue that they are 'not people'. Also

This is not surprising and actually a textbook example of how single-issue-parties see their ideas absorbed by parties with a more complete program. It is actually a good thing, not a bad thing, as long as a political party actually deliver

I'm not a pacifist. You hit me I hit back. But I decide that on a case-by-case basis and to give others the ability to indiscriminately kill people that I have no beef with sounds like a very bad idea. Collateral damage is such a terrible t

Right, because what Elephants really need is to be hounded by a swarm of drones piloted by people from countries that are too lazy to even go see the world in person? Besides the risk of idiots crashing their drones in to animals on purpose

Martins emotions pale compared to those of the innocent civilians that are no longer around. Personally I'm happy that there is at least some cost to this but I don't think the cost is quite high enough to prevent a runaway use of this horr

Just like we have a moratorium on the use of chemical weapons we ought to have one on drones. Not that it would ever be ratified. There is something seriously wrong with the level of detachment drones afford the actors on any battlefield. T

You're obviously not related to Hugo Chavez ;) Travel does not have to mean 'travel outside the country', so even if most attempts to decapitate a country are home-grown that doesn't mean that heads of state don't travel with a security ent

Yes, because we all know that the occasional configuration problem is unique to Linux. Really. Counterpoint to your story: I bought a notebook with a 3G card in it, couldn't for the life of me get the thing to work under windows vista (whic
