I think he was working on the start page for Mozilla 1.0 in 2002. The credits page [0] for the 1.5 start page lists him among the contributors to 1.0's. I couldn't find any remarks from him in 2002 about Mozilla's chances, bu

The _prettyPrint [1] and _getPasswordTemplate [2] functions they use to get from the HMAC to the actual password seem to have a lot of issues: - _prettyPrint calls into _getPasswordChar which will then take the character code modulo the len

It is not true that the ruling says that "this only applies to those who willingly and intentionally link to content they _know_ is illegal, _and_ do so for monetary gain." The ruling explicitly states that the first condition is

What the decision said is much closer to "or" than "and". Such linking is, as your quote says, not infringement if it is done without pursuit of financial gain and is done by someone who does not or cannot reasonably kno

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Without that detail, it sounded like you were effectively blackmailing the scammer's parents rather than just getting paid the agreed amount.

The first quote you've referenced doesn't make mention of the fairness of the justice system. So, there were two quoted judges bemoaning its effects on the fairness of the justice system, two talking about how their jobs are borin

According to GnuPG (more specifically "gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.28"), that key does not contain any valid user IDs. Is there some widely used PGP implementation that does accept that? Have you found any other similarly weak ke

I'm confused and am not sure if you're thinking of something else or if I'm quite misinformed about Lojban. I don't think lojban has suffixes at all (prefixes, on the other hand). For -j specifically, the only words in l

The article you linked to does not say that the Griffiths claims caffeine dependence is "purely psychological" in the sense that you appear to be using it as an opposite of physical dependence. The article states that Griffiths th

10 base-36 digits is only around 52 bits, compared to the 112 random bits in a UUIDv4. 2^52 might be enough for particular use-cases, but it's nowhere near a UUID in terms of randomness. Even 10 base-64 digits is only 60 bits.

Although I don't agree with any of those premises, that debate is not one-sidedly poorly supported. A lot of the opposing arguments prove too much. For example, a common remark in discussions on relevant topics are paraphrases of that

The World Bank periodically adjusts the threshold upwards for this reason. In 1990, they used $1/day. In 2008, they adjusted it to $1.25/day. Now they are adjusting it to $1.90/day.

dbus signals can be multicast. Specifically, dbus signals without a destination are routed to all connections with match rules (added with org.freedesktop.DBus.AddMatch on the message bus) which match the signal.

Smalltalk requires explicit labeling of all but the first argument (though they are ordered) for keyword messages. Good naming conventions can make this enjoyable (at least subjectively). In a hashmap based lisp, I'd expect defun to look so
