The parent asked whether the OP should be treated differently from people actually doing the malicious act. My analogy was meant to illustrate that we should. I didn't express a stance either way on whether he should be prosecuted for

If person A walked up to your window and fired shots through it, killing a family member of yours, and then person B walked up to your window out of curiosity (trespassing), saw a dead person, and called 911 (or whatever your country's

I've seen multiple studies that suggest a correlation between very high Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios and various cancers, but I've never seen anything regarding brain damage. Some casual googling just now suggests to me that this not

You beat me to posting this. He was as right as Asimov in 1964 about landing unmanned rovers on Mars by 2014 but still no people, and he was as right as Paul Graham was in 2001 about software moving to the server and clients moving to pocke

Right, all contact after the first email has to be tailored to their responses. Even gullible marks usually need hours or days (at minimum) of building rapport before they're actually comfortable enough to be conned into executing a tr

Opportunity cost. If you can devote a few hours a day to each of, say, three gullible marks, you have a much greater chance of a payout than devoting a minute to each of 500 random marks.

Yes, that appears to be a mistake. In the 36.8% of cases where the best candidate shows up in that first 36.8%, it would seem the algorithm must keep running until it is forced to select the final candidate, which is essentially a random ch

That's precisely the parent's point. The Vim model (I'll exclude vi from the discussion since it lacks core aspects of Vim's composability like text objects, and almost no one should be using it) is about having a largel

They're both amazing languages that are simultaneously very fun to use and very powerful, not to mention great with concurrency, but here's the grossly oversimplified gist of when you'd want which language: Clojure has a beau

Well, even if improving Street View is a shorter term goal, it seems pretty reasonable to assume that Google has at least some intention of using that same core technology to pioneer, or at the very least compete in, the very lucrative mark

It seems like the fear is that allowing the developer to have direct communication with the client could result in people circumventing the 4% commission. But unless they come up with an excellent workaround, it might be hard for the site t

I like that idea, and I don't think a multiple downvote system would have to be hard to implement. It would take very little change to the site, for example, to promote a system in which we flag for spam, downvote for irrelevance, and

Having attended a very left wing liberal arts college and, therefore, being very familiar with the terminology used by sociologists, I intended the above to be explanatory rather than either an advocacy of or an attack on the leftist defini

The thing is, the title isn't linkbait from the perspective of modern feminist discourse and its usage of the word "sexist". In radical feminism (the ideology that the term "feminism" most frequently refers to in co

I'm not very familiar with their policies. Does that apply even in the case of theft? Didn't the article's author recover her domain within a few days?

Fair point, I forgot about the lack of eyes part. I guess the Oculus Rift would work better for a multiplayer FPS where your characters are all wearing helmets.
