You are absolutely right. Plus, the greasers of the slippery slope cost money, which comes out of those boxes on your paycheck, for which you get less than nothing.

Do not google "site:nl 2 girls 1 cup". Should you so google, do not click. You have been warned. But I should add, even if you so click, the result is less obscene than Carmen Ortiz!

Your first programming language should be an assembly language. Pick the brand — any brand. It will teach you how machines work. Your second programming language should be Lisp. You will see that it is a general purpose solution to the issu

Just be glad Carmen Ortiz is not on the case. I'm sure she'd come up with a few decades' worth of counts.

Absolutely none. Indeed, to accuse an insulter of racism for deriding someone as belonging to another species is to conflate the concepts of race and species. At best that's ignorant; at worst it's racist! As to the prosecutor's species, is

How would I know that? I don't read documentation until absolutely necessary. If it claims to find faces, well, then let's see it work! And then we'll count the faces found. In any case, the documentation is wrong if it says that. E.g., the

Actually, that is exactly what happens in 99.9999% of the cases. If my own experience is any guide, toothbrushes getting turned on in luggage must happen a lot. All you need is to have one with a push-button design and forget to take out th

Well, there is always Yandex, over on the other side of the North Pole, far away from the DMCA. I wonder if anybody had done a comparative analysis. Or, you could try Bing instead. Last May, MS sent Google a takedown notice for a Bing searc

Yes. And it also helps if it's near the top of the post, as opposed to being buried in a signature or something. Bottom of the page would be OK, too, if people always put it there. But they don't. Consistent date placement promotes efficien

That's a pet peeve of mine, also. There's usually a date, but often not near the top and/or not in a standard format. Then there are these sites that use relative times, e.g., 0 minutes ago, or 865 days ago ... In the current case, there is
