If it becomes real it's also asking to be trolled. Enough clever traps and the entire thing becomes worthless to the state.

First, there's always a customer, and so there is always a promise, and always a customer. Customer can mean you, your boss, an external client, the general public, the janitor who's keycard doesn't work on the ladies bathr

This (banning MS products in education) is difficult. Schools rarely consider anything else because it's what "business" uses, and so there's a lot of push-back from both students and parents whenever a school suggests m

I would extend that to include behavior. Getting spannered at a frat party is hardly in good taste, whereas a glass too many at afternoon tea is, assuming you're able to limit the effects to a giggle. Similarly taking a bite of food, t

I think there's value. Resources at the very least, be they from moons, planets or asteroids. The problem I have with space exploration is the cost. Almost 10% of the global population still goes hungry, even though more than enough fo

I've had a few experiences with Wikipedia that left me with a sour taste. I can't remember details but there was a pretty big error on the Lancia page that I fixed, which somebody at Wikipedia changed back. This wasn't the fi

Yeah, no. There's nothing measured in the approach taken by the FBI. Data on a server is not lethal, the FBI's response was. And while sad, I'm not surprised. I spent time at Microsoft and once in downtown Seattle I saw a kid

It is indeed that I will not use anything from Google unless I absolutely have to (doesn't happen often but image search on DDG sometimes misses results Google shows). I'm fortunate in that I have never bought into Gmail, maps or

I agree with you. GP stated "feature-wise".

I've been using Firefox since, I don't know, 2006? Maybe 2007? Still use it for everything (note that my web dev ability and interest don't really reach beyond HTML and ASP.Net). My main reasons for using Firefox are it works

Maybe you're right. Maybe our understanding of "depth and meaning" is not quite the same. Some of us like apples, others oranges. Diversitry makes humanity awesome.

And even then there are levels of gray - I registered on Facebook in 2007 with my real phone number. I changed providers soon after, and no longer have that number. But it's still the number Facebook have for me. I now (and many of my

I was 9 when he published Hitchhiker's guide. I'd just started reading and would go on to spend my teens reading ANYTHING I managed to lay my hands on. And throughout my teens everyone went on and on about Hitchhiker's Guide,

Scandinavia in general takes global warming more seriously than most other countries on the planet. And so this isn't strange at all. The whole of Europe is amping up alternatives to petrol- and diesel-based transportation, from e-bike

The under list of web sites under 1Mb ( https://1mb.club/ ) is a great resource if you're willing to spend the time browsing there.

I too am an adult. One of those that saw Star Wars New Hope in the cinema. I gave up on Mandalorian after 4 episodes. Cancelling Gina Carano will make it hard for me return for whatever else they do. Star Wars is my biggest cinematic disapp

Maybe so. The point I think should stand however, pedantry or no because - First, ethnicity (1) is very much not race (2). Second, and I assumed (wrongly, apparently) that a reader might follow this discussion to a logical end, which is to

There's only one race. Ethnicity may vary.

Yeah... when you have a home-built PC with *nix unsupported hardware and invested lots of $$ you're still looking for a hard time. First, there's the hardware cost. I'm not throwing my Surface out, and I'm not throwing o

I agree. ANY structured process will be better than chaos. Most people dislike Prince especially just because it seeks to tame the chaos that came before. People don't like change.

Thanks and yes it is. The model is in fact an extrapolation of Microsoft's Solution Framework from the '90s. On the problem solving side I was far more impressed by a book from Betty Vandenbosch (Designing Solutions for Your Busin

Simplisticly they do the same as you when you think about the building blocks or components of an app. They just do it at that dreaded "higher level". Higher level can be a bit ambiguous. Typically it's systems (ALL the apps

So it's better to just throw up or hands and do nothing? If what I do isn't enough, surely it contributes something , right? If we all only ever think of this as someone else's problem, nothing will change. The guy that pass

Many comments here take issue with previous warnings that haven't materialized, that dealines are missed/bad. It sounds like we're trying hard to not do anything because those naughty people in the '60s and'70s crie

Interesting. I have too many ideas and far too little time. I wish I didn't have to work so I could do the hobby full time. Alas it doesn't pay as well as the day job.

Maybe age has something to do with it - yes, I used to spend too much time on Facebook. Back in 2007. I also used to drink too much alcohol. Today I just don't have time for social media other than when I'm waiting for something,
