So far, it looks like they are supported by VC funds. I can't find any info on how they intend to become profitable but a few comments, drawn from memory, suggest they are expecting to fund with ads and a couple of people have suggeste

Wouldn't that be easy to foil? I can, and do, write with different styles that depend on the audience I'm trying to reach. I'm reasonably sure I could write entirely unlike my normal writing and appear to be a completely diff

I'd also add that I don't know anyone capable of always being unbiased. At best, it seems like we can acknowledge our biases and try to counter them, but I've never met anyone who can do so constantly. It's like the test

I don't want to be too specific, but one of the best 'cooks' that I've known was the ADA and now holds a higher elected position. Cooks, for those who don't know, turn coke into crack, a smokable form. She would do

Yeah, people were mad at some of my comments during the OWS phase. They were making comments about stuff like hanging and shooting the 1%. I'd point out that, if they were online, in Slashdot or Fark, in a home with regular power, and

Sort of related, there are a lot of lessons learned and observations made when one changes social class. At some point in my life, I've been close to both extremes. I've been a poor college student with a family and just barely be

There is so much right in the above three posts that I'd vote twice, if I could. The wealthy buy drugs from people who drive nice sports sedans and wear suits, or similar. They aren't down at the crack house giving blowjobs for di

It was a well known policy. It was clearly stated in plain language, just as I say it here. I hired professionals, adults. I expect them to be adults. I'll put up with a lot. Dishonesty is not on that list, however.

Could UPX put something in the header that said something akin to, 'I am not a signifier of malware, perform your check on the internal contents instead.' Then AV companies could see that and not flag it as malware unless they had

"RE" is reverse engineering, maybe?

Who the hell do you work for that treats you so poorly that you'd want to do that? Why would you want to work elsewhere when you're being paid well and treated like an adult?

That's fine on a personal level. Well, not fine but forgivable. In business, that's not acceptable. My reputation is impacted (was, technically, as I'm retired) by the acts of other people. Lies, in business, is also known as

It's worth a look, actually. At first, I was thinking, "Surely they mean "current" and not "every." So, I clicked the link and, sure enough, they do actually mean every iPhone. It's a bit more in-depth tha

D'oh. I had looked up, previously, to find out that felons can usually vote and extrapolated Maine to be the same as the rest, with regards to voting while incarcerated. My bad, the rest is correct however. I know Maine allows it, and

I sold and retired, about a decade ago. I am the partial owner of a few franchises. I don't suppose you want to be a sandwich artist? I have nothing to do with their regular operation, I'm just an investor to help a friend out. I

If others don't know, the K is for kernel. I had guessed that it was, but decided to look it up. I figure this may save others some time. It looks pretty neat, conceptually. It loads the kernel into a random location in memory on boot.

True, but OP mentioned fun. It's also true that more wealth doesn't seem to make me happier, in and of itself. It does mean I have much less stress. That makes me more content, which some might call happiness.

The vast majority of my employees where STEM employees. Programmers, IT, traffic engineers, etc... There's a difference between 'it should be done like this' and outright refusal. I'll listen eagerly to the former. After

Actions are character. If you call in to work, don't tell me your dog died. Tell me you're going to stay home and get royally drunk - if that's the truth. I'll still make it a paid day off. Your actions are your characte

I've fired remarkably few people, but I do have high standards and hold myself to even higher standards. Dishonesty isn't acceptable in business. I can forgive in a personal relationship, but my reputation is attached to the outco

I believe there is a Doom variant with the same requirements. It requires the image and sound files. I am not a gamer so I can't opine on the quality.

I'm not really able to think of any of those medieval authors who thought that way. I'm sure there are examples, but I can't think of any. It seems that, at least in practice, we've pretty much always felt we were the ap

Brevity was a consideration, but the idea was refusal. If it is refusal, we have a problem. If, as an above poster suggested, there's an offer to fix the system then I'd not consider that a refusal and I'd be a fool to not at

"Let me fix it." isn't something I'd count as a refusal.

Do you have an example of that? I can find examples of things like ancestral worship, but I can't think of any where they felt their ancestors were more enlightened? I'm sure there are individual examples but, as a general stateme

Yeah, I'm absolutely not going to put up with an employee who refuses to follow orders. This assumes they are lawful and ethical orders, of course. If they are outright refusing, we are going to have an immediate correction or terminat

Ah! That explains the method, at least. I'm a bit surprised that the market is large enough to support the effort and expense. My limited exposure suggests that it isn't a very large market and I'd been led to believe that it

If I find out later, you will be immediately dismissed. No exceptions. I was honest with the employee and I demand the same in return. If you will lie to me about that, you will lie to me about other things or, worse, lie to coworkers or cl

The conversation would go a bit like this: "Run the reports." "No." "This is your verbal warning. The next step is a written warning. Run the reports." "No." "I am going to my office to write a w
