To me, it sounds like the author reading too much into the (rather opaque) process to try and make sense of it. Sometimes its fast, other times its not. Its usually consistent, but sometimes they mess up. Thats all we know for sure. FWIW, m

Rules was in quotes for a reason. Yes, there are a bunch of "rules" that are generally followed. Except when they aren't. Hot and cold colors, mixing font families and types up, etc. A good designer will know when to break the "rules". Like

If you honestly think a college student can't find $5 somewhere to paypal for a one-time fee, you're kidding yourself. And I say that as a college student.

Of course! All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection! More seriously, are you saying that SSL/TLS and SASL are both insecure?

IRC is easy . Its a basic text protocol that requires a socket and some minimal parsing to work with. Whenever I use XMPP, its never that simple. The protocol is too verbose for its own good imho.

As an exercise, try writing in E-Prime[1], instead of regular English. Its a "variant" of English where the phrase "to be" and any variant of it ("be", "is", "am", "are", "was", "were", "been," "being" and their variants). In High School, I

I'll say it again- Americans, fix your government. Where are you from? I bet I can find some problems wrong with your country that could be solved with "Well, just fix it," too. Especially if I get to be vague and use a 1 minute newsclip

Even wide open trackers have a lot of stuff encoded in 320/FLAC. And for the most part, the people encoding these rips in FLAC admit that they can't tell the difference between 320kbps and V0, let alone FLAC and V0. In other words: 256kbp
