The patent system is like a bug in a software that all your clients rely upon and will never let you fix. I expect peace in the middle east to happen before the patent system gets scrapped.

The best thing about bitcoin is that it's decentralised and under your control. And what all these companies are trying to do is make it centralised and externalised from the users. Despite such wallets being stolen repeatedly people don't

Must be one of the most useless inventions ever created, already made obsolete decades ago by post it notes and pens.

You can add any item from any store on the Amazon wishlist and people already know to check it if they want to - you don't need to tell them you have a wishlist somewhere else. One fewer awkward email.

Thanks for the link, the original link results in a graphic of gears turning forever and not loading anything.

I think a 2 million city would be big enough. We can call it an special economic area. I do believe this is already happening. We all know that this is the inevitable cyberpunk future - just substitute governments with corporations.

Shop around for a country to live in. I wish countries were more accommodating about this. In my dream world like minded people live in the same country. Just think of how great it would be if you didn't have to compromise because everyone

They all ask for permission and most people just tick the box. Linkedin lets you do the same thing. People give them their passwords to their email accounts willingly. Looks to me it's a pretty common practice but I'm no expert on social we

Facebook can read emails and address books of your friends who might have your email address and it goes from there. Same thing happened to me. Most poeple on facebook are fine with sharing all their personal data with facebook - and that b

Quite the opposite. All the punctuation is on the right side. I've got a split keyboard and not counting meta keys I count 28 on the left and 32 on the right side.

"Historically, languages designed for other people to use have been bad: Cobol, PL/I, Pascal, Ada, C++. The good languages have been those that were designed for their own creators: C, Perl, Smalltalk, Lisp." Dazzling argumentative prowess.

The frankness of the question caught me by surprise. I don't think I can help you though as I'm not one of those poeple you mention. There's tons of better programmers around the office and most of them are my friends so I'm quite at home w

Google wins every time for me but apparently people choose bing (except of course they don't, as actual usage statistics are quick to point out). Nice idea that is backfiring horribly, showing that google is in fact better, something that I

I don't think you know what SA is. You going on the domain name alone?

I'm sure they're just stealing company stationery. The articles doesn't actually mention any examples of this purported white collar crime, unless you count extortion as such.

It's like a difference between a rapist and a murderer. I'm sure you can argue either side but I'd rather have them both locked up.

Seems they lead on XBox, loaded it with extra features and now find it difficult to squeeze it all in for the PS3 version. I'm sure it's doable but it'll probably come down to whether it's cost effective. It's not about size or delivery, it

Except KISMET doesn't scale well. When I see the baroque contraptions game designers create it makes my blood boil at the inefficiency but that's the cost of a faster design->code turnaround. Runtime efficiency sacrificed for developmen

Yeah, elinks handles more websites and renders closer to a graphical browser but w3m uses vim keys.

If you send a plaintext email that is more than just a link to a dodgy domain you are guaranteed to get through (unless you're already on a blacklist). This is the only kind of spam I still get. Even spammers know to use plaintext (well, so

Except for the green tinge that's pretty much what my setup looks like. Borderless terminals in a tiling window manager with vim and assorted CLI programs. Except of course for iceweasel. Because there's only so far w3m will take you (not v

Nah, if someone sends me HTML it gets parsed into plaintext and if it doesn't work I don't care what's in it. You want to send me a pretty document - feel free to send me an attachment or a link. HTML emails are always ridden with superfluo

I don't think the audience for this exists. People with a mind capable of programming are also capable of learning syntax, especially since there are so many languages now with lightweight syntax. I fear these attempts shall remain confined

Baroque music and jazz are nice when it's quiet at the office but it rarely is so I have to resort to metal.

Same thing happens in the UK, to the point that I thought you were talking about UK chuggers until I got the last sentence. VISA's tactics don't surprise me. What is sad is that we think it's OK because you can do anything as long as you're
