No, that's not what it assumes at all. For example, another objective would be avoiding the situation described in the article the rest of us are commenting on.

No one said or implied that "all" cops are evil, or anything remotely close to that.

No, that's not the problem, as you yourself admit in the false dichotomy you constructed in the second line of your post. The problem is that, in your own words, they took days to fail to solve the problem. If they Googled the solution

The problem here seems to be that the person was unwilling or unable to ask for help when they needed it, not that they don't know math per se. I don't know how to do that either, but "winging it" is not something that w

This shouldn't be hard to understand. Don't talk to the police, without your attorney present, under any circumstances whatsoever. Dating the police is just such an astoundingly egregious violation of this principle that I can onl

Well the obvious answer there is that port scans shouldn't be considered abuse absent other factors like rising to the level of a DoS.

That isn't going to handle possibly conflicting changes from more than one source.

Whatever you may think of what OP's buddies were doing, there is no way to apply any reasonable meaning of the word "stealing" to it. There is indeed plenty murky here, and it is mostly coming from you in an attempt to incorr

Xmonad integrates nicely with xfce and MATE, at least. Probably KDE as well.

Android supports this but as usual with Android, it's shoddy and broken. For example, if you log out of a secondary profile and log back in, all your widgets will be gone. I don't have the bug link handy but IIRC, it's been o

I am having a hard time understanding how you could even ask for all this personal information with a straight face for an app like this. In fact why would any kind of account at all be required? Given the apparent simplicity of the app I d

Well you can't expect to hire engineers with half a brain for the pitiful compensation Meta offers, can you?

Yeah, I went to a Korean place serving "live octopus." They bring it out and cut it up with scissors in front of you. The individual pieces of tentacle continue to move and flex. If you don't chew them real good they will try

You have yet to give a single reason why it needs to be public If you need to sue me for dumping chemicals, you can pretty well be bothered to go down to the clerk and show your own ID. It's not a problem. There is no need for my hom

You have it exactly backwards. Why should anyone on the whole Internet have access to my physical address? I reject someone's pull request on github and now I have to worry they might show up at my door? Fuck everything about that.

Spotify's Android app had a nasty bug that would delete everything you'd downloaded to an external SD card on reboot. Worse than that, it would then automatically start downloading all that same content to the internal storage, wi
