So basically "Think of the children!". Their fingers must no longer be exposed to exhaustive clicking of EU-mandated pop-ups... If eroding, still woefully inadequate, data protection, instead of simply mandating improvements to de

Too much of a good thing... I can picture a scenario, admittedly science fiction for now, when carbon capture is so lucrative it's removed to an extent plants don't have enough of it. Not to say carbon capture is bad, just that hu

I suppose the next logical thing is for them to say: "I fart in your general direction".

I liked writing Perl a lot, but when it came to reading, let alone fixing, other people's Perl, it was always a bit of a nightmare. That's one of the main reasons I was reasonably happy to move away from it - nobody seemed to heed

Won't Apple silicon eradicate hackintoshes eventually? I mean, you won't be able to just buy Apple's components and assemble a computer. If you were, it's really just a Mac, isn't it? I imagine they'll support

I just deleted my account, which I shouldn't have had, and I got an email saying: "We send these emails to help you get the most out of SlideShare.". Couldn't agree more, that's the most I got out of SlideShare.

I wonder if this means one can now obtain a grant from Ministry of Culture to cultivate this officially recognised tradition/heritage activity. Imagine a career not stemming from what one learned creating demoes, but in actual creating

That's great, you should have that option. "Option" implies choice, however. I should have an option to meaningfully not agree to it. And "don't use Google services" doesn't actually cause Google to stop c

I find that my non-verbatim searches on Google return mostly garbage, so I'm not sure I would call "please stop displaying garbage" the best feature of Google. Maybe a "last thread" feature. That said, I've rec
