What, no mention of Pizza Hacker? http://www.thepizzahacker.com/ :-) I've tried Pizza Hacker's pizzas a couple of times. They're quite good; but just the fact that there you are, on a sidewalk, getting freshly-made pizza out of a Weber-gr

Try going through this for 6 straight months, and then tell us if it's torture or not. Even children go to sleep eventually. His guards never sleep, and keep waking him up in the pretext of "checking" on him. Don't tell me it's not torture.

When I see lies repeated again and again, without being challenged, it angers me. You say "he did not confess in court". Followed by "I do not know whether he confessed to any military staff". And yet you continue to claim that "he confesse

He "signed up" for all this? Really? Can you point me to the document one signs when enlisting which say that they (the military) are allowed to do this? Secondly: HE DID NOT CONFESS. Stop making shit up just because you feel like it.

I'm not so sure it was that great of an idea. Do I really want everyone to know that I secretly checked out the video of Miley Cyrus taking a bong hit? Or that I visit the Fark 5x a day? Not everything that can be shared should be shared,

One would think that Computer Science, of all the fields, would have an open publishing system (where all papers are accessible to all). One would be mistaken.... Some authors do the right thing and post versions of their papers on their ow

I came here to say this. Underpinning all police states is a system that a citizen can be arrested for just about anything. This is how you keep citizens in check. I found it interesting (and also saddening) that all the "law enforcement" p

qmail may be old, but the author (DJB) wrote some _solid_ code. I believe there hasn't been a vulnerability in qmail in the last 10 years (someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

lint(1) [or splint(1)] is your friend. Or use "gcc -Werror" when compiling. C is like a sharp knife: in skilled hands, it can do wonders. Unskilled hands end up missing a finger or two.

C calls are trying to mirror the assignment statement in the programming language: target := source "cp" is trying mirror how we do things in real life: if you want to take some things from one place and put them in another, you first pi

I'm sorry, but a language for which a fully-compliant compiler takes a decade to write is horribly broken. (Computer) languages should not inspire "puzzle books". Too often I'll see colleagues scratching their heads wondering why a piece of

What saddens me is that people are parroting this "violated ToS" line without even thinking about it. It doesn't matter whether you support WL or not; but at least do the bare minimum and _think_ about what you're writing? Where in the ToS

Do you really think that the typical Groupon customer, who is extremely cost-conscious and willing to jump on a deal like this, won't switch to another coupon company if given a better deal? Say Groupon offers a 50% off $10 coupon for $5, a
