Sock puppets = Proliferation of guns. With karma = Availability of bullets. What doesn't affect you individually, affects all of us collectively. I.E. It diminishes the legitimacy of this forum as a whole when those very same mechanism

This is the one complaint I have about Mint. Since most of my things are on external drives, I've resorted to the wipe/install method of "upgrading" just so I can avoid the hassle. It's not a deal breaker by any str

Considering my ISP does the same, I'd say that's a minor inconvenience. I mean it's not like searching the desktop will send results to Amazon et al. I'm wiling to tolerate that just to not have to put up with Unity mala

Well, I've never fried with olive oil and light cooking didn't seem to affect the flavor too much. Also, I use it mostly for the health benefits, not so much the flavor alone. I've also been experimenting with sesame oil. Mad

You mean Page or Brin, no? The article specially excludes Amazon as being involved and this is specifically a Bezos purchase alone, not an Amazon "acquisition". It may seem like splitting hairs, but this does bring in a non-trivia

I use olive oil regularly in my cooking and now, I don't know what to think. I'm curious why the original article wasn't the one submitted (though it's inserted at the bottom of that entry). http://www.guardia

I love me some dead cow once in a while and have a problem with waste, pollution cruelty etc... and I have concerns about GMO. But this ain't "not cow". It's still the genetically identical counterpart to the pasture-rai

This is an arms race mindset that overall creates a disaster for those not outside your vehicle. Of course you'll be safe and sound (precluding rollovers), but you've introduced a greater probability of killing someone you hit. h

It's been mentioned before that, considering the volume Google serves in all their services, it's unrealistic to expect any sort of customer service beyond the FAQ and bot variety, but I'm sure there are those who are willing

With personal video recording (a la Google Glass and friends) it won't be long before we're subjected to this sort of thing. It's amazing how close we're getting to Ghost in the Shell and I'm sure it won't be l

I can't speak for that user, but I ran a forum from around 1997 to 2008 (directly involved until 2005). Interventions helped. This only works with moderators who aren't narcissistic, megalomaniacal and/or sociopathic (margina

Interesting theory! We should write a bot to run a Bayesian-Freudian analysis of his Twitter stream for hints ;)

I'm considered "new" though I've lurked for a while before registering. There are some obvious cases (spamming, trolling, link-bait, off-topic, URL-shortening etc...) that leave little doubt to the reason, but it seems t

There was a time I deleted my emails while away from work, but after one particular incident, I swore never to do it again. I had gone to visit my folks and while away, an old friend had sent me an email, which I deleted along with my regul

This is entirely subjective so feel free to disregard. I don't believe it's necessarily a good idea to introduce elements that aren't user accessible. In this case, it's an actionable (command only) element that's i

Afraid not. My suggestion, expanding on what they do, is to not to try to copy anything to the user's clipboard and instead highlight the content (I'd advise against the hidden textarea too though). On mobile devices especially, h

@DavidMurdoch you really gave the -1? I'm no fan of CoffeeScript either, but everyone should choose the tool [s]he is most productive with. – Boldewyn Jul 9 at 5:49 ` @Boldewyn, I did. My justifications for it were that

When I was referring to "leaner", I was referring to the apparent ease with which Nginx serves while Apache was having difficulty in the same setup (it's quite silly to compare binary sizes). I'm not sure if that makes i

We're not talking fire-and-forget software here so that's a very long delay to catch up to. On one hand, I'm glad this isn't going into obscurity (hopefully). I don't like to see projects fade and die out complete

Then the fine line isn't between confession and evidence, it's between justice and vengeance. We're more "satisfied" when the guilty confess as that alleviates some of the need for vengeance. And we do have a need f

Sweden isn't alone in this; even Japan has issues with forced/false confessions. I look forward to a day when confessions, and all eyewitness testimony for that matter, are inadmissible without corroborating, strong, forensic evid

Maybe that's the strategy as well, but I can see the new technology making its way to Yahoo's current strategy. But what struck me was that they bought Tumblr, Jybe, Snip.it, Alike and Summly this year alone and they're all &

They may very well see a significant spike though. This is why people should donate as much as possible before the "drive banners" come up. It doesn't have to be a whole lot; if most of the people who use it give even a small
