I have been waiting for a while, and am not entirely sure I believe you.

You are not alone. I had terrible trouble parsing the end of the title because I've literally just finished watching yesterday's episode of Doctor Who.

Speaking as someone who once had to patch up a legacy system, I appreciate items 1, 5, 8 and 10 far more than I did before.

If you believe that Facebook is unethical, yes. Stand up to what you believe. It's harder in the short run, but it's much easier so sleep at nights in the long run. I suspect lots of people would like to go back and change things

This is very true. A verbose log is incredibly helpful to someone who can read them, but if you are unfamiliar with the format, or find bits that you cannot interpret, then it all starts to look like noise. It reminds me of my cousin, who i

You are not wrong in asking this, but the way you asked led people to believe that you are against such a thing, and people who object to what they perceive as your belief will down-vote you. As Scott Adams has so rightly pointed out, we ar

Do you think that because you disagree with her political views? Genuinely curious. Doing a study on how people interpret texts. Agreement seems to be a significant factor in how much people like an article.

I was drinking 10 a day when someone offered me "Java" coffee. Oh my days. Pale, shaky, heart palpitations. I couldn't touch coffee for almost a year after that mug. Apparently, you're supposed to drink it in teensy cups

In my experience, it's always been easier for me to implement something once I've seen a working example of it. That's basically what examples are for: A "cheat sheet" for reverse engineers. Software is only easier

Here's how I cope: Focus on the now. Here you are. Here is the desk you sit at. Here is the keyboard in front of you. All these thoughts that rush endlessly through your head are simply thoughts. They belong to you, but they are not yo

I don't think it was ever case sensitive. I'm pretty sure that in 1994, I was using lower case html tags without issue at university in Mosaic. Netscape Navigator definitely allowed you to use lower case tags. My final year projec

Presumbly, adding a temporary speed-limit to a road would have a similar effect.

I think if you boil you definition of love down to "doing what is best for the other, regardless of consequences to self", then some of the conflict would disappear (obviously not all). I suspect that a large portion of the confli

I've actually got a iPhone to cassette interface (I would call it a cable, but one end looks like an actual cassette) in my desk drawer, so that I could play my music in my car. New car now (well, new to me), so it's redundant.

Sorry if I appear dense, but is this an operating system, or a program which runs on linux, or something else entirely? Also, presumably it needs to know where it originally came from. Can an installation of Samizdat create an installation

Barclays and Natwest in the UK will allow you to send money to anyone with an email address. Can't speak for other banks, though. But all banks will transfer money if you have a recipient account number and sort code.

As a developer, I prefer technologies which don't plunge me into the "abyss of uselessness", where I know enough to know that something should be possible, and how it's done in the "old way" but have no idea ho

Good point, shermozle. And the problem with it being allowed and acceptable is that older people "don't want to be a burden", and younger people with inheritances in the balance might make a decision based more on greed than

I thought it used to be: a british billion is a million million i.e. 1,000,000,000,000. Thus a british billion is 1000 * an american billion. Nowadays we use the american billion of 1,000,000,000. Pretty sure we all agree that a million is

I humbly suggest that sitting atop large quantities of explosive and riding the blast wave up into space is inherently dangerous, too.

Diplomacy was banned at my house because it always caused tears and angry outbursts, often within moments of the first set of orders being revealed, always before the third set, and I can't even remember a game going further than fiv
