Indeed. It's rather tasteless and crass to revert to snark and conspiracies on this thread.

Ouch ;) On a less painful note, these types of scripts that do so much with so little are exactly the type of problem that interest me. I don't even care that I was beaten; I just love the fact that something like this exists. Just goe

Are keyword based firewalls really all that effective? What if someone's researching classical art and searched for "nude"? Surely, that will cause a fair amount of hair-pulling to deactivate the filter in public access locat

In this case, "a pawn". I'm fairly certain the Russians are unwilling to antagonize the U.S. beyond mild annoyance (posturing, really) and if the issue is forced to any meaningful degree, Snowden is toast.

"Summer of Surveillance" This should be on a T-shirt. Maybe borrowing the backdrop to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album and cross it with the digital rain form The Matrix. ;)

It's a subconscious equation between "Internet" and Facebook et al. When your first click or URL is to check these, the information you retrieve is effectively white-washed by the like/retweet cycle. I feel there might h

They're both limiting media; the only variant here is degree. The Excel artist prints at a higher resolution... and that's about the only difference really. This is contradictory to your original assertion that it was "worthl

How someone looks at a beautiful piece of art (regardless of whether it's done in Paint, Photoshop or yak dung) and claim "the examples shown have 0 value of any kind" without the age, software and year prefix, is beyond me.

Meanwhile, back on Earth... Taxes are the means of transferring worth to folks like firefighters, police officers, construction works etc... You know, the folks who hold up infrastructure and need to eat food and stuff. And I can count on o

Yes, it's even more important when the lawyers get itchy... as it happened to the NYTOnIt: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/11/20/nytonit_n... Good on TNY to have a better stance on

But surely they pay some attention to community sentiment. There are some jerks behind the bench, I'm sure, but I like to think the majority are willing to serve their community objectively (or the legal system has no hope) and that wo

Yes, he is a scumbag and what he did was unethical and still perfectly legal. We have to remember that before reaching for the lock and key. I doubt RICO would stick or even blackmail or extortion. What would be the charge against him? Mayb

Better late than never, I suppose. I hope the Texans have enough pride in their community to pursue ethical processes toward business advancement. Patent trolls are business poison, but casual disregard for people is community poison. The

On the contrary, efficiency is quantifiable. As is determining whether or not something is broken or prone to breaking. I.E. Brittleness becomes obvious under heavy load. This isn't a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it&quo

Getting things done in a timely manner and under budget is an even bigger part of it. Having to learn "new" things (this is distinct from "different" things and "better" things) leaves significantly less time t

That would have been standard 10 years ago, but these days, it's not very effective and, unfortunately, it's still a very common scheme. You're better off with: function rHash( $rounds, $data, $salt ) { $data = $data

Eh? How would you judge a man who put the world's first scripted interracial kiss in a series during the 60's? The criticism wasn't about Roddenberry, but what's done to his work. A lot of fans know what kind of womanize
