Do victims of this feel like they had their privacy violated? If yes (and I strongly suspect the answer you will receive in a non-trivial number of cases is yes), than this is as real a privacy violation as they get.

>.25c is nothing. (25c, not .25c) Hell, I'd pay 25 cents more just to have the privilege of not being handed back a quarter. Lugging around change is crap.

Local anaesthetic is hardly a selling point to me. I'd prefer general, even thought that has the slight risk of death. Better than the (in my experience) 100% chance of "whoops! We'll give you another shot of that and give it a few more

(I suspect you already know this, but I find it is an interesting topic so I'll post it for others) It should probably be noted when talking about the history of science during the so called dark ages that the Islamic Empire covered a very

Has it occurred to you that to many people the issue may not be piracy? I don't use the pirate bay, nor do I endorse copyright infringement, but this development nevertheless greatly concerns me. No, I suspect it has not.

If you think how men treat other men in the US workplace is at all comparable to how men treat women in Saudi, then you are fucking insane. Men poking fun of other men is NOT a human rights issue. Cheeky insults, (which "my goldfish c

If all the end users use the CISC layer and no person uses the RISC layer, then I would feel comfortable calling it a CISC machine.

"if you're actively working to undermine your male colleague's confidence in their ability" You don't have a solid grasp on male-to-male communication in the US workplace. Please keep in mind that perhaps your culture is different.

If you want to treat the symptoms, then by all means villianize the perpetrators. If however you are interested in treating the cause, then I suggest you listen to what yelsgib has to say.

Unfortunately mere supply often does not correlate with price as you might suspect. Look at diamonds.. the name of the game is artificial scarcity.

Weirdly, Amazon and Netflix fill different niches for me. Amazon's player is flash so it works for me in linux, so I use that when I'm on my computer. However Netflix has an application for my (non-Fire) android device, so I use that ther

Although git-push's behaviour never bothered me, I feel I must support this since it would set a good precedent.

Why is everyone so insistent on cannibalizing science to fund science? NASA's budget should be pretty damn near the end of the list of programs to take funding from, 1) because all the others are even worse than it is, and 2) because it ge

Wikipedia has 9900kg to LEO for the Falcon 9 block 1 and 10450kg to LEO for Falcon 9 block 2 (both from Canaveral). To GTO those numbers are 2400kg and 4680kg. The "Launch Payload" of the Dragon spacecraft (6000kg) appears to be approximate
