I did, but it still includes local results (it thinks I am in New York City). I signed up for a Google API account and tried the Google custom search engine and searched for "pizza restaurants" and received different results than

I wonder if there is interest in someone building a search site that uses the google custom search API to search. The CSE that Google provides does not include advertising or local results unless specifically requested. The only problem wou

That would be Non-refoulement, and a major violation of the UN agreement. I am not sure of any physical consequences to the country that does this, beyond a damaged reputation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-refouleme

I agree. I have a much, much harder time remembering complex passwords over longer ones. I can barely remember my SSN, and that's about the length for complex patterns of numbers/symbols for most people. Long strings for passwords

I hate dining etiquette. It's a fancy way of saying " doing something a specific way because that's the way everyone else does it ". Groupthink at it's highest. I eat whatever way is best suited for the meal.

Its easy to complain about the low pandora royalties, but these artists are essentially trying to kill the golden goose. Pandora currently spends > 50% of revenue on royalties. Any increases would almost certainly lead to the end of the

I wish those questions would be moved to the relevant StackExchange site. Often times it's just a case of misplaced question, where it might fit better in superuser or it. It should be moved in those cases.

Your interpretation of Karma may be correct, but I was responding to the author's views on Karma. I urge you to go read it again, his are the under-informed, dangerous sort.

So Karma is right some of the time is your defense? A broken clock is right two times a day. I still wouldn't advocate replacing your functional clock with a broken one. Similarly, I don't advocate Karma because it's an extre

I like the story, but I feel it's important to mention that the authors stated opinion on Karma is terrifying . Karma is essentially the worst sort of belief, in that superficially it seems to reward good behavior and punish bad behav

Your argument is disingenuous. While it might prevent a bug from spreading due to older/differing embedded libraries, it is equally likely to cause new bugs, when library signatures change, and some library function is suddenly gone.

It's fun to hate on Java (cause who here hasn't hit stupidity with Java?), but the fact is that Java does a lot right. There are two types of languages, the languages people hate and the languages no one uses.

I just switched from MySQL to MariaDB on a ubuntu image and it was completely painless. Took the 30 seconds to enter the commands. No config editing, and it imported my old databases. Props to the MariaDB team.

Making a fortune? 500k is crowdfunding for enhancing the product and paying for clinical trials. I guess crowdfunding isn't cool anymore?

Yep. I hate cooking, and honestly I end up eating like the same exact 5 meals every week. Apparently there are $500000 worth of us, so there's a market.
