SO, a congressman has to be an expert on: Thats kind of exaggerating the parent post's position, the congresspeople were flat out admitting they have no knowledge on the subject. He didn't say they had to be domain experts. They _should_

The idea of an XML document is pretty goddamn easy. The basic tags of HTML are a breeze. The way html, css and js interact with eachother are a fucking kludge. The only way it makes any sense is with the understanding that css and js are

Because this internet does function like the one they want to control. If there is New Thing X that makes the internet not-useless, new legislation will expand SOPA to cover that too.

If they're public, congress members have (even more) incentive to influence them to publish bullshit that fits their ideology rather than facts and/or accuse them of bias towards the other party.

Is this your first time watching congress? Yes, shes required to read it, all you've really said is that its silly for her to do so, which it is. But its a formality and they'll normally move to have her STFU. In this case its a procedur

You're language snobbing a joke? Really? But to answer your question, basic is like a fart joke, everyone gets it.

I've noticed this attitude as well. It's really, really annoying. Annoying or not, as someone who only has a job because of copyright law, its fucking really important that we're reaching these people. I'm glad that people are saying this

I watched the segment on TV and thought it made it obvious that there was some bad parenting going on there. didn't bother to "skewer" unsupervised pre-teens. That however, is probably because outside of today's age of helicopter parentin

3) Are your refactoring steps too big? (Is it actually a "rewrite"?) Or maybe its a sign that unit tests are your favorite hammer. When to support your testing methodology you have to say that shuffling a bit of code or structure around i

The loss of computer/files was just the framing device, a scenario that created a need to communicate which is the actual point of the article. Why bikeshed the author's workflow? Its not like she'd actually see it here.

There is no question of 'use something else'. So, what you're saying is that this new motd system is some seriously disruptive technology ? Good on those ubuntu kids, showing us all how its done.

What possible benefit was there from overcomplicating the bloody MOTD file? I dunno, but does it really matter? If the motd mattered anything to me, I would have been aware of the change. I was blindsided by this change too and one day,

Yep, but without a subscription to a blacklist. I only block things if they turn out to be too annoying. As it turns out, most of the things I've block aren't ads but are annoying images, javascript, and UI clutter.

No, you see, those were non-standard back when "non-standard" was demonized so we could give Microsoft shit for not doing what we want. We've sense realized that what we want to do isn't standard either, just in a different way from what I

When the code was adjusted to fit on the website they lost a lot of the formatting, and severely hurt the readability of the code. It appears that the lines of code were rather long, but were word-wrapped to fit within the size of that ima

The SEC's fines have about as much to do with preventing a financial meltdown as local police traffic fines have to do with preventing a murder. It's just safety theater. I read the ruling on the Citygroup case you mentioned (I linked to

if the SEC believes that stiffer penalties need to be put in place because the leadership there honestly believes that the financial system is out of control, is that really so bad? On face value that wouldn't seem bad, but I'm personally
