I think it depends how and who markets you. If you're not in control of it, then it's not going to end well.

This. I had a friend who got herself through a medicine degree in the UK via prostitution. Her parents' income was too high to get a grant and good loan but they couldn't help her because of the chains of debt. She told them she w

Until it goes flat, you drop it or the damn thing decides you're not allowed to read the book any more or the ebook is a poorly OCR'ed copy with mistakes in it... Plus I can't give my books to other people to read when I&#x27

I had one for two weeks and found it overly pointless and another chunk of ecosystem tie in so I gave it to a friend. It has been passed on already. I reverted back to using foobar2000 on windows with the upnp plugin and my Sony DLNA capabl

Agree with this. Also if I get into a book, I always end up buying the thing as I don't want any electronic distractions taking away from it.

a) 304 not modified. Too late. b) That's not how the internet works. One has already wgot the entire thing.

Wonderful news but particularly sickening for me as I fished out £130 for the hardback volumes last year! Absolutely great books however! I've learned a lot already from those books. Also, the "For the Practical Man" (algebra

Ignoring the physics entirely, politics and finance would get in the way so, no.

I'm talking about internal communications, which are kept internal. I have no assumption about the privacy if something leaves my network, even if it's over SSL (PKI is broken).

It rapidly evolves into Perl-style readability eventually unfortunately.

Yes I've noticed that. If a subject is not compatible with current government whim, there is always silence.

The BBC is probably one of the worst news sources there is. I'm not sure where they got their reputation from... Always get your news from multiple sources.

I recently read "Surely you're joking Mr Feyman" which had a number of anecdotes about the Manhattan Project's security from sneaking through fences to picking safes. It makes the whole project sound a little more human,

Having been there, as I stated in '95 and '14 (19 years difference), the story is exactly the same. Only the marketing and front end has changed. The cogs that drive the machine and the revenue mill have the same components and st

Beware a wolf in sheep's clothing... Edit: the downvoters clearly weren't in the industry in the 80's and 90's and haven't dealt with them in the enterprise / volume licensing department recently. Comparing the

Because that's just as much of a ghetto, Microsoft can't control it as they'd have to buy it and I doubt Oren would sell it to them. Not only that, there are better products that are free.

Err, Apple: Airport, Bootcamp, Safari, Time Machine, FaceTime, Grand Central Dispatch, QuickTime... and I won't even start on the open source side of things...

No local installation. No banana. I wouldn't tie a product to a single cloud vendor.

I know C so that's fine for me. It just doesn't suit me that is all.

That's ok until it goes wrong at which point you need to know the JVM inside out and Maven. I do know a lot about them but don't desire retaining that information :)

I disklike Scala. I want less runtime baggage if possible or at least a nice wrapper around it (like venv is in python 3.4)

That's even worse! Why do people even do that? Isn't it easier just to nick it from Aldi?

Good choice but I tried it but couldn't get on with it to be honest. That's just down to me, not the language though.

Seriously, it doesn't matter where the hell you are on this planet, don't leave anything in your car. Not even a pen. I had a windows smashed in a nice bit of London, and all they took was a Bic biro, £10 first aid kit, a USB ciga

As a pragmatist, I take from both sides always and I think a lot of us do. To apply it to politics: http://www.allmystery.de/i/t5be775_subgenius_big.jpg Python with static type hinting is where I want to be.

Which is the problem. Edit: I can see the systemd love is strong in here...

systemd can just fuck off. It's a pit of complexity from hell that I will not stand for. This change makes it worse again. 3 hours today trying to get timedatectl to enable an NTP server on CentOS 7. All I got was "Failed to issue
