I have been using this pseudonym online for over 20 years. I have been using it for so long that I have since found others who have started using it too but there are far fewer of them than there are of people who share my actual first and

There are cultural reasons why what works in Europe won't work in most of the US. If I can't take my car or park for a reasonable fee, I simply won't go somewhere and most of the people I know are the same.

I just poked around on this site. I think this is what I need to take my chess game to another level.

I still remember sitting there with my mouth hanging open watching 4 quicktime movies play at the same time after I installed the BeOS Preview Release on my 6400. What I particularly liked was how BeOS would run on any PCI PowerMac. The Rha

I knew at the tine that Gassee was making a huge mistake. Be had some fantastic tech but it wasn't otherworldly. A MacOS based on Be would have been amazing, at the time. X ended up being a better way to go, the other changed made when

No one's career gets made by catching a car thief. Perhaps by busting a car theft operation but no one is going to get promoted for one car thief. I would suspect that the hostility you felt from the officer was because you got your ca

I was in a similar position once. What I did was kept my head down, performed the work without any personal, emotional investment and started looking for a new job. It took several months but it worked out for the better for me. I was so ha

I agree but it's not just Obama. Bill Clinton admits that he "tried" to smoke it, I don't think that anyone truly believes that he only made one attempt. George W Bush likely did and at the very least, socialized with pe

A malevolent AI is a particularly terrifying prospect. Despite the fact that humanity has possessed the ability to destroy ourselves for quite so long, fortunately because we're still flesh and blood, biological entities and our evolut

I have a couple of areas of interest where my knowledge is quite deep and I notice this whenever there's anything about those subjects written in the local or national press. I see people asking why we can't have a meaningful dial

Bing presumably doesn't have access to one's downloaded library of erotica.

It's kind of cool but also kind of messed up that this is the starting point of porn J.A.R.V.I.S. Porn Jarvis, show me something with a blonde woman between the ages of 30 and 45 featuring oral and anal.

This guy was behaving like a jerk but I didn't see anything threatening in that Facebook comment.

I used to work in call centers and I would try to de-escalate angry customers. When they settled down and were decent in return, I'd do everything I could to help them. Sometimes, I'd even bend the rules to help out a decent perso

Yeah. As a former employee, I will not recommend them to anyone who is looking for services in that particular arena.

A former employer, that I will decline to mention by name, stored a hash of the password AND the plaintext in the database so it could be sent to people via email when they forgot it. I tried to explain to my boss why this was such a terrib

Fourth has to feel worse than last. If you're last, you just got beaten by everyone. They were all superior athletes on that day but fourth has to feel awful.

It makes sense. A Bronze medal winner is just happy that he or she is still taking home something, while a Silver medal winner is tormented that he or she just missed out on the Gold.

I was taught basic in middle-school in 1983. At my school, this was only done for children in the Gifted Program. I am an IT Professional. I have worked as a developer and two years ago, I made the leap to security analyst. My programming s

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to disagree with you on Libertarian philosophy. Anarcho-Capitalists are not in the business of advocating that we take money, in the form of taxes, from one group to give it to another.

Where I live, it's a legally mandated monopoly. Before Verizon FIOS came on the scene, there was one cable provider here. Way back when, it was CableVision, then Adelphia, then Comcast. We now have the choice of Comcast or Verizon. I&#

Eventually they may but you're missing a factor that will doubtlessly come into play, labor unions. Until there is complete automation at every step of every industrial process, labor unions will sabotage attempts to replace human bein

I have stepped away from development for the time being but as a black man in the industry, when I read that, I already knew what my answers would have been. He was probably a lot more diplomatic than I would have been.

I hate the idea that some people seem to hold that teaching everyone to code will fix the world's problems. It won't. People who want to code, should learn to code. Some people should learn to weld. Some people should learn to dri

I too an opposed to encouraging the uninformed to vote just because. I differ with you on some points. I do not watch the debates either. I don't watch the debates because I pay attention all of the time, not just during the election c

I have always found it to be extremely annoying when I hear people talk of senior citizens being "On fixed incomes", like I'm only making this much money because I choose not to be rich. There are enough Baby Boomers to domin

I have toyed with the idea of setting up a separate network parallel to my home network to do something like this. I just haven't made the effort or had the time. I like this setup.

Great, another kooky unit of measure. "This new re-design gets us down to 0.4 Doom installs without sacrificing any of the visual elements."
