Why wouldn't you put colons in filenames? Unless of course you use Windows. Colons, spaces, backslashes, whatever.

I would be interested, but the way it's set up is kind of tailored to the way my friends work. It would take some time to make it more generally useful. I think there other platforms out there that do the same thing in a more generic f

I run a small platform for a couple of web designing friends. They can deploy webshops at the touch of a button while having full control over the design. It saves them the effort of having to ask more techy folks for assistance, and it let

The content of some of their books is written by very capable technical folks. Sadly, being a techy does not make you a good writer. Especially when you're not a native English speaker and are writing in English. What's worse is t

I don't think that qualifies as 'many', if you want to be pedantic. My Belgian ID card (not even a passport!) gives me visaless and pasportless access to 50 countries.. But I agree, it would be a very near passport to have, a

I don't know where you live, but had my salaries have always been a 'take it or leave it' deal. The only way to get a bigger pay check here in Belgium is by getting a new job.

This is worse than useless as it doesn't encrypt browser initiated messages and doesn't work cross device. It's yet another attempt to force FB users to switch to the very shady FB Messenger app. I'm still not touching i

Ah yes, let's judge a project based on its implementation language. Because every Java program is insecure by default, and no exploits exist for anything written in C. Sigh.

> Why weren't those corrected and/or highlighted as they typed? That's such a horrible expectation. Do we expect children to spell correctly right off the bat? Or do we teach them, slowly & patiently, instead? Or are

Limiting high rise sounds like a good thing. Especially in places reasonably far from the equator. It's nice being able to get sunlight at the street level! I don't think very tall buildings are the answer. More and better communa

These gross generalizations are horrible. There is no European way and I doubt there is a homogenous US way either.

Oh no, a deep stack trace, better blame Java. Excuse me while I go roll my eyes for a bit.

What you see as pointless is in fact good conditioning of the mind and body, something that reduces anxiety in the parents and boosts confidence in the kids. Anyone who learns a martial art with the intention of getting into fights, well, i

Like many other things worth doing, iaido is best experienced by doing it. Talking about it will get you nowhere. Get your sword out and start training until you wear yourself out. The people in your club who are there because katanas are c

A lot of my friends use FB messages/chat instead of e-mail. If i want to stay in touch with them, FB is the only way. This used to be OKish, when FB did XMPP and i could use any client. That's since been shut down, and the mobile

Lastpass is horrible. And IIRC someone posted a proof of concept attack a while back which looked exactly like the LP password dialog but instead stole your credentials.

Could you use this, for instance, to detect an infected Windows host talking to a botnet? Or would that sort of connection info be lost as noise in the presumably large amount of data captured?

by Tharkun 10y ago
That obviously depends on what you're doing. Paginated content (with the obvious exception of multi-page articles) is often a symptom of poorly defined search criteria. Did you really mean to view all 6 billion cat pictures? Or only th

The article is full of excuses, like the ones you mention. But that's not the point, at all. The point is still copyright infringement and superstars somehow dictating what is and isn't acceptable. Times change. People have camera

Belgium routinely gets convicted and fined for its incredibly poor treatment of prisoners. In fact, it's been convicted TWENTY TWO times for locking up mentally ill prisoners in regular (overcrowded) prisons without treatment.

I seem to remember Belgium extraditing someone for plotting to attack US soldiers on Belgian base. When the US barks, Europe rolls over. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizar_Trabelsi

It's a stupid idea and a slippery slope. DRM, endless copyright extensions, 3-strikes, DMCA, phone bans. When is the entertainment industry going to be satisfied? When everyone has a brain implant that erases the memory of the performa

I don't share your optimism. It'll be a while before we can produce useful, grid sized batteries for this kind of use. The hybrid approach you describe would require twice the surface area and probably wouldn't double the out

> structures meant for "Meant"? Nothing in your body or brain is "meant" for anything. There is no "meaning", or "intention", for starters. And the brain is nothing if not adaptable. If your brain

What? How would that work? Why would you log to a string? Log to a file, or a network, or a pipe.

That's nonsense. I can't think of any realistic examples in which it would be useful for multiple threads to write to the same StringBuffer. You might as well sprinke random and pointless synchronized blocks around your code. Th

The name is rather poorly chosen, given that thousands of banks use Thaler (with an H) to handle their payments...
