You apply for a job or you build a startup and you want to be a professional. You want to do awesome things. Then someone else comes around, whether from a position of power or not and displays romantic or sexual interest towards you. No ma

While I don't doubt for a moment that the US Government has the technology to do this, I do doubt that the TSA, which is basically the government agency equivalent of the shortbus is allowed to have access to it.

I'm with Andrews & Arnold. I won't need to tell them anything because I know they take my privacy very seriously. They're the best ISP I've ever dealt with.

Oh no, not the "maximising shareholder value" argument again! This argument has three fundamental problems. First, it is difficult to tell what would "maximise shareholder value". Second, it misses the fact that somethin

I don't think "lazy alter" is a particularly good idea in an RDBMS as it could lead to the operation failing after its transaction has been committed which is something that is generally avoided in relational databases.

The Diversity Visa Lottery will be likely repealed in the near future by the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 so that won't be an option for very long.

Yeah the numbers don't quite add up; I reckon it's something like the original standard was in imperial units that was converted to metric later and at some point someone somewhere (possibly a journalist) decided to round the numb

Yes but even such a solution would surely use some sort of existing internal interface such as USB or PS/2, even if in practice the wires are soldered directly to the motherboard? Otherwise you'd have to build special hardware, co

I think everyone is different and different things work for different people. For me, it's the reading + practice combo that works. Other people prefer videos, tutorials, help from tutors, diagrams etc. or combinations of these things.

Well, except that the local telco (e.g. BT in the UK) almost certainly has monopoly over the last mile of your connection, regardless of who your ISP is (they rent the last mile from e.g. BT Openreach or maybe TalkTalk) and it's not un
