I don't know why anyone here is even discussing it. They'll make the laws they want and they'll enforce the punishments they want. People's front pages are too economically viable to let reason into the courtroom.

Nobody is engaged with their phone. Their engaged with their SO, and use their phone to reach them. There are no engaging apps on the iOS at all. Name one "killer app" for iPhone, and it would probably be Google Maps, which is o

AMD has 10-16 core server CPUs that are very price competitive with Intel's Xeon performance. They generate more heat however, so they are not economic in datacenters for energy usage reasons, but they are ideal for getting the most p

If you don't focus on your own goals, you're just working for someone else.

We store passwords' one-way hash + salt only, we don't even know what our users' password are, they are never in memory to begin with. Even if someone got access to the stored value in memory somehow, they wouldn't know

Don't you find it interesting that all your supposed alternatives are paid software? (never mind the fact that Vista, 7 and 8 are almost identical OSes)

This is exactly what I'm talking about, but because people already have a basic understanding of context and so on, they don't appreciate the significance of Chomsky's work. I don't know how anyone can even argue with m

Until linux can compete with an OS old enough to vote, we'll still need XP.

What a ridiculous assertion. Category Theory and Chomsky Hierarchy are two easy to understand and key theories of Computer Science. If you don't have any understanding of these, you're not a professional programmer. Maybe it&#x

and now they are changing HTML5 to "HTML," the purpose is clear, to sew more confusion into the so called standard and hide the debacle that is w3c. "this reality reflect the reality" please... why have a standard at all

It becomes the defacto standard when it's adopted by developers, it's adopted by developers when their boss hires them to adopt it, they hire people to develop it because they are assured a return on their investment. Why are the

W3C's reputation went out the window in the minds of all serious software developers with the concept of HTML5's "living standard" aka, no standard. This is the kind of standards we can expect from a standards body in t

I'm a troll because I pointed out how ridiculous his conceptualization of the price is? Ok, I am. With that kind of logic, you can justify spending $10,000,000 on a car because that's a fraction of the price of a manufacturing pl

Uh, good for you? That is not the value proposition, that is trivial information about your personal life. I don't know why you felt it necessary to try to duplicate a manufactured device by hand, but that is most certainly not the va

Other "internet of things", "quantified life" or whatever failed buzzword you want to call it, has similar or identical EULA. The only thing they take seriously is astroturfing to reduce the blowback from this policy. S

I don't like the aesthetics, no. From a engineering perspective, it is not much of an achievement of R&D, imo. They probably paid more for their Photoshoppers.

Really? $200 for a predictive thermostat, with a lame excuse to stream energy usage data and proximity data (Nest detects humans) out of your home? Id rather pay $99 to tell health insurance companies how often I exercise, live. You could
