That's the kind of thing that'll get the US Attorneys on you these days.

Best first two comments ever, though.

I'm suggesting that there should be more coordination between forks. I'm not sure what your URL point means - that the URL is a unique identifier for the project and that there's no way to forward people to the new "authoritative fork", I

It has a pretty graph at the top and the guy presumably really did crunch real data, so it gets upvoted. Also it's Brazilian, so it gives you a little taste of 21st-century BRIC economics. Hits a lot of buzzers.

I'm going to be seriously conflicted if McCain does something I like.

That's a lot of responsibility to put on somebody, for one - and for the other, that somebody may not have either the distance from you or the skills to assess your situation correctly. (Of course, a therapist might not, either, but you ca

On CPAN, you can be added as a co-maintainer if there is a long-standing bug with inactive maintenance, you've fixed it in a way that's eminently usable by the maintainer, and you can demonstrate long-term fruitless attempts to contact the

I just downloaded it from Hungary. ITAR is moronic.

90% of NASA's current work having no benefit to the day-to-day life of 90% of Americans. Not that Americans have ever understood the ROI of space research. Most of them don't know NASA makes their satellite weather a possibility - most o

Only because JFK died and it was a memorial project. If he hadn't died, Johnson (or whoever succeeded JFK in 1968 (or '64, who knows?)) would have gotten the credit, if we'd made it by '69 in the first place - doubtful. Besides, if the p

No, it's not a red herring. It's two different problems with the same industry.

Oy. NO. One winner exists. You live on it.

I think you'll find that the US government can enforce them incredibly effectively - if you're not too big to fail.

You appear to be suffering from the notion that there is a single defined value at which the speed limit will be optimum at all times. But I entirely agree with your larger point that violation of arbitrary speed limits because of obvious e

Hey, I do believe there's an elephant in this room!

No. Of course not. We have one person here per capita, just like the UK. If anything we'd get more economies of scale. But it would be socialism, and therefore inherently antithetical to the desires of every right-thinking American.

Wow, I've never once seen any of that on the site. All our phones are on Domino prepaid plans, though (that might make a difference) because we're only in Hungary one year in three or so and a regular contract just wouldn't make sense. I'l

T-Mobile is a national provider whose territory includes Puerto Rico. The lack of support is not PR-specific; it's the same company and same infrastructure.

by Vivtek 13y ago
However, T-Mobile's advertising in Puerto Rico when they were expanding into the market a couple of years back was fantastic. Very well-localized. Most people have no idea at all they're a German company - my wife and I laughed that the o

Ha! Try moving to a rural area in the States, then. Soon you won't even have mail service if Congress has its way. But cable or Internet? Forget it.

T-Mobile in the States is, if possible, even worse. I visited Puerto Rico in February and decided on a T-Mobile stick because the one I use in Budapest works perfectly. In PR, though, there were URLs that simply didn't go through - and th

Maybe if they want to work remotely, they're just going to have to suck it up and admit that you can't do that with sensitive information. There have in fact been times when military secrets were considered more valuable than people's life

For the record, the Chinese don't actually own that large a portion of the US national debt, which is almost entirely held by American organizations. Propping up our currency, now, that's a looming problem - but one that will hurt China a

This just makes my brain hurt. "Cyber pillage" of the nation's "most closely guarded secrets" - so secret they were exposed on the Internet without, apparently, keeping up the security updates? I think maybe the fault lies not with the Chi

President Obama talks about investment in science but, in practice, such investment gets siphoned off into entitlements or teachers unions, rather than research. OK, I've saved a few minutes now. No need to consider this guy's opinion af

A trencher could be a pretty effective blunt instrument. Intubation is appropriately American these days.
