I don't see any problem with any elected official not using email. I don't care if they avoid technology for the most part. (I know this may lead to them not being informed about technological issues, and this is a negative, but I'd rather

I think the service looks quite neat, and the effects well done. However, wouldn't it make sense to apply filters client-side in most cases? (I'm personally always a fan of using their computing power not mine if it can be worked that way!)

It's clearly a terrible thing to say, but I'm utterly shocked that's illegal. It's not a threat to anyone, it's not harassing a specific individual, etc. Seems to be a dangerous precedent to set.

jpxxxx, how does it "insidiously portray class and ethnic conflict as an everyday battle worth fighting"? And "fetishistic"? I don't know. It's fair to criticize where criticism is due, but aren't you going a little overboard? Seems like th

I hope the people who harass her are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The fact is, sometimes hornets' nests need poking, not because of the hornets that will fly out and sting you, but so an exterminator will notice the nest and

I was unaware that Catholics get paid less than Protestants in the startup world. More on point, our cultural norms are a little funky. I don't feel really that their should be any degree at a university where there are 20x the number of ma

Hmm, what exactly do you mean by "sprawl" typist? I've never really considered too many different typing styles, and wondered if some are easier on your body or not.

It sounds extreme, by I personally believe that mice destroy the wrists of programmers - that's one of the reasons why we love programs and interfaces with tons of keyboard shortcuts - along with being faster, it's easier on the wrists. In

I actually uploaded a txt file to dropbox and then passed that in and the contents of the file as the two parameters. It worked for me, although that method seemed to stop working later on.

Both this article and the one it discussed seemed to go right over my head. The only impression I could get is that there is a small faction of tech related people who have formed their own hollywoodish faction and act like it too. Anyone c

Public fields are still debatable too, at least in some languages. I've worked with / talked to some people who insist that you can never in any case have a public field. I personally believe there are a lot of factors to look at before mak

Interestingly, TechCrunch ( http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/24/hang-on-a-minute-jurors-awa... ) reports that some of the damages awarded to Apple were awarded without finding any patent infringements. In other words, the jury's report was qui

As someone who has worked with flash extensively in the past, my take is similar. There's no need for Flash for animations, ads, etc. However, I still think when it comes to building in depth games, Flash is king by far. It's also still the

Agreed. The 3D view is definitely a cool thing no doubt, but I'm not really seeing it as much use for preventing XSS vulnerabilities. That being said, I think the author of the post recognized this and was just sharing that it could rarely

I enjoy using Ruby also, but I really think it's weak in image processing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but rmagick is pretty much the only thing out there and it has had its fair share of problems, along with being a pain to get running on Win

I don't mind the emailing of a new password for password reset requests. It seems just as secure as the password change link that most sites use. It does have the potential to be more annoying to the user if other people are submitting fake

I disagree: "The capatchas were not only difficult for a computer to read, but impossible for a human." He goes on to quote that computers can guess capatchas at 10%. My point is that if you understand capatchas, you can get them right almo

I think the point about similar languages is important. After using a Java-like language where == can compare Strings, chances are you will use == instead of .equals() when working in Java. Also, when switching between languages like JS, Ru

I think the real question is why hide things to people unless they have a certain reputation. I understand locking a question, but I don't understand making a question with answers inaccessible. Does this serve some purpose I'm unaware of?
