While it is true that there weren't any wars called World Wars before 1914, what really distinguished those wars was the weapons technology and the massive devastation that resulted from that. Human nature does not change as quickly as

That's a foolish attitude to have about this. The more people use this type of system, the more pressure there will be on those of us who don't want to be spied on, or have our cars hacked. Eventually, it might not be possible to

Do you get equity, as partial compensation for the lowish pay?

The Audi 5000 unintended acceleration in the 80s was shown to be that.

What are you whining about? Why would anyone desire for a company to be sued and have them win?

Good points. But the reason why software being sold should have a higher standard of liability is because in the case of open source software, that's generally just posted on some website and anyone can download it, modify it, and run

I think Valve should be sued over this, and lose. Sure, there will be clauses in their EULA stating that they aren't liable, but morally, those clauses should not be valid in any licensing agreement. Their commercial software caused da

Why are you even letting your SmartTV connect to the internet at all? Those things are horribly insecure and just spy on you anyway.

That means that all three forms will wind up in any Nim project that gets large enough, though. Hardly a good thing.

I'm not saying, though, that he's unaware of the real world impacts. I'm saying that he doesn't care about them (in this case). He is a smart man, and a visionary, and believe it or not, I have a great deal of respect

His position doesn't make any sense, though. It only made sense as long as LLVM didn't exist, but now that it does, it only hurts GCC. Anybody who wants to incorporate Clang or LLVM into a proprietary project already can, so absol

I think that if Python can be considered a "systems" language according to somebody's definition, that definition is pretty flawed.

I don't think they would, though. I think people would see that their money is in fact safe, as the government guaranteed it, because now the possibilities are 1) the bank will fail and the government covers the deposits and liquidates

You're the one who said that you decide whether or not to hire someone in 30 seconds.

But all that would have been needed would be for the money that the government used to bail out the banks instead go directly to the depositors, and for the government to seize all the bank's assets to help pay for that. All they would

by FeeTinesAMady 12y ago
That doesn't make any sense. You seem to be assuming that it's impossible to bail out the bank's clients and let the bank itself fail, but that is not, in fact, impossible. That would insulate all those families from that col

> Death is the explicit primary purpose of discharging a gunpowder weapon. That isn't true for any target rifle, target pistol, or shotgun intended to be used for skeet or trap.

How is it at odds with that? That is a fact, not an opinion. It's true that over half of all quoted gun deaths are suicides, and it's true that the chance of suicide is very small. The great majority of gun owners don't commi

I don't understand why the backup option wasn't to boot the one customer whose traffic was killing the company, instead of losing several other clients and going out of business. Yes, try to fix things, and he succeeded, but it se

Well, I don't have TekSavvy at the moment, so I can't say for sure, but I did notice that when I gave them my postal code, all the plans they showed available for my area did have that feature. Plus they had Georges Laraque in the

I think Teksavvy, also available in Vancouver, has a feature whereby data used between 2 am and 8 am doesn't count towards your cap, which is downright reasonable and makes me wonder why none of the other providers are honest enough to

Because they buy laws that favour them and increase that inequality.

I've read them, and they are interesting. That is certainly true for Greenland, but I was talking about Canada only. Is there evidence of contact between the Inuit and the Norse there?

I'm actually amazed that there's someone else out there who recognizes that C and C++ have to go if we want real infosec.

by FeeTinesAMady 12y ago
It seems like these Vikings encountered the Dorset, not the Inuit, and the Dorset were later wiped out by the Inuit, so no oral tradition of the Viking contact would have survived.

That's a really interesting comment, and I think you're correct. Look at feminism today vs. back when it was actually relevant. Now, since it can't credibly be argued that women are oppressed in Western nations, it's tur

The whole thing really does sound like he didn't have any legitimate reasons to be doing that and is just deflecting criticism.

I'm not sure how much I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think you should be downvoted for it, so I gave you an upvote.
