A voluntary filter is not tyranny and it's fucking disgusting to compare optional filtering of semi-random webcontent with governments who murder and torture their citizens. You are the one that made the equivalence, not the pers

Wow, what a great site. Thanks!

In general, firefighters are very well paid, so there is that consolation price. Yes, it does suck, but the result is the rest of us pick up the tab. I was just in the news today that unfunded state pensions are at the $1T mark. Also, the

First, Erik wasn't Lisp. He didn't even work for a Lisp company, except for consulting for Franz briefly. Second, your cause and effect meter is way off. The resurgence of Lisp happened because there were a LOT of people out of

I'm very liberal, but I don't see this as screwing the retirees. I think they got a better than they should have deal. The unions over-reached and they got rates of return that were unsustainable. We haven't even talked

Red Hat funds cygwin, and I'd argue that it's at least similar in magnitude.

#31 Consider the customer. Seems google has gotten away from that. The Nexus 4 has a couple of very bad bugs that have gone unfixed for a long time. I feel really bad that I recommended a good friend get it, because these bugs have real

His rants and trolls on comp.lang.lisp in the heyday of that group were epic... and annoying. He does seem to have matured somewhat.

That may be your rule, but it is definitely not the norm. I've known countless people, including the infamous Erik Naggum, that are far more abrasive via email than they are in person. Erik was, in person, a sweet and thoughtful pers

I disagree. Hiring a executive from one of those areas won't give OP what he needs. It will give him someone with a lot of experience in those disciplines and a lot of life experience, but no direct experience in what he needs. I kn

Because they spun out a lot of traffic to regional airlines. There's a good Frontline special about the regionals. Well worth watching. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/flyingcheap/

thatswrong0 summed it up pretty well. Of course, if you want to tell me what's wrong with both of our statements, I'd love to hear it.

For me, it boils down to this: every time I turn off AdBlock I have to turn it back on because of the blinking and other very distracting ads. They are so "in your face" that I can't concentrate on the content. I usually la

why don't they target Canada They do[1], but I agree, not as often. I've felt for decades that we need to stop meddling in other country's affairs. Remember, we've been a target for decades, too. Hijackings and the

We found out the PATRIOT Act was really used for drug enforcement[1] so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with NSLs. [1] http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/patriot-ac...

In 2001, 3000 people died from terrorism. In 2010, 600,000 people died from heart disease, 575,000 from cancer, 120,000 from accidents, 50,000 from the flu and 38,000 from suicide. If 3000 people died each year from terrorism, would it be

100% agree here. I loath that she is has no challengers. I had heard that she was going to retire and not run in 2012. I was so looking forward to that primary and when I saw her name on it my heart fell. Unfortunately, the best we can h

To me, this really doesn't have to do with CP, but with police that over reach and are not punished for that. It happens in non-CP cases, and the result is the same, no punishment.

I can't tell if you agree or disagree with my statement. I, of course, agree with your statement, and it definitely follows from what I said. Legal right of way means nothing.

My rule: if there are cars around, never cross (legally!) unless you have eye contact. That person making a right turn on a red light? They're likely looking left and will you over if you legally start to cross in front of them. However,

why Tarsnap pricing is defined in terms of picodollars per byte rather than dollars per gigabyte: Tarsnap's author is a geek. Applying SI prefixes to non-SI units is a geeky thing to do. I find that so amazingly annoying. To me it says "
