Which are presumably both useful to have within the same community. Maybe forum software should allow individual threads to be made flat or nested, at the discretion of the person creating the thread?

IE is only at 13% on Omegle. But I'd still hesitate to tell those users to get lost.

The assumption is that women selected for attractiveness are, on average, less intelligent than women selected for intelligence. That doesn't mean attractive women are less intelligent than unattractive women.

Early return is definitely needed. I guess you could make bare `return` early return, and `return None` the way to yield None, but that's kind of confusing.

Except you can use `return` without argument to return early from a generator, and `yield` without argument yields None, so they need to be separate keywords.

This defeats your security in IE: (A bit of a moot point since IE doesn't support the crypto API anyway, but still.) document.body.innerHTML += '<script>document.write("<plaintext>"); document.body.childNodes[document.

The thing is, once you accept a 1% tax on violent video games, you've accepted in principle that violent video games warrant government interference. Then the question becomes how much the government should interfere, rather than whether

My point was that non-libertarians who oppose those sorts of things probably wouldn't agree that parking meters are theft, and might be turned off by it.

>(EDITOR’S NOTE: This post is about government employees stealing money the government itself has stolen, and since it’s about theft, it is a crime with a victim, namely those who put money into the parking meters.) So this is a radical

That sounds more like legal ignorance than technological ignorance -- which is probably worse.

I'm not disagreeing here, simple asking for information: how has she demonstrated an ignorance of technology?

The Mac version of IE was basically a completely different browser. It had its own rendering engine, called Tasman, which was developed separately from Windows IE's rendering engine, Trident.

From what I've seen, his reasons for disliking things shouldn't be affected by whether he's tried them or not. He's not criticizing Ubuntu for having a bad UI, or insufficient features; he's criticizing it for (what he sees as) spying on it
