Bad logic. Popularity is unrelated to quality of code. While it is true that popularity = bigger target = more incentive to attack the platform's security, it is also often used as an excuse to try to hand-wave away bad, insecure code. Anot

Very interesting. I am not an Oprah viewer, but even my limited exposure has left me with a "two Oprahs" impression: one a force of good, and one who provided a platform for pure crap like "Dr." Phil. I was not aware Jenny McCarthy and a wh

I think "generally pointless" is overstating things a bit. That said, I think it is definitely fair to say that these sort of benchmarks fall more into the category of "interesting" than "useful". Usually fun to read, but just not something

Perhaps, but that doesn't change my impression of the story: phone call is made, and everything is shut off in a flash immediately afterwards. Even if not a literal 15 seconds, the phrase doesn't seem to imply that there was a length of t

Phone call or no, somehow I don't see anyone taking their sites offline in only 15 seconds without prior knowledge of what was going on. That seems an awful lot more like a, "shit, someone's connected the dots" response. Especially if you'r

I do it the other way around. Ubuntu is my primary OS environment, and VirtualBox lets me run those other OSs for various work-related things. It allows me to stay logged into Linux all day.

It's sad, but my first thought at seeing yet another weak "link" between something and autism was, "well, better to have wacko parents shield their children from PVC floors than from vaccines."

It will be interesting times indeed if the word "duck" becomes as antiquated and removed from day-to-day use as "bootstrapping". I weep for the ducks. :(

I get what you mean in that names definitely change as we get used to them. But these names aren't created equal. "Duck" is a noun. There's a very definite, "meat-space" thing attached to that word. It's a whole lot harder to visualize a "G

My first reaction was to agree with your point. But I wonder if there are varying levels of non-seriousness. Names like Google and Yahoo definitely aren't serious, but they also have a sort of generic quality. Not in a bad sense, I just mea
