Ultimate phishing scam. Without some sort of trusted party or verification process lists like this are ripe for exploitation.

I think the big issue that's bothering people is the potential for hypocrisy. This event clearly proves that shit happens and if google doesn't either ban it's own chrome from search results or loosen up on it's rules for bans and appeals t

And learning to work with other people. And learning to read documentation. And learning to plan. And learning when to admit other people should solve the problem.

Here's my manifesto for learning: 1)Be inspired to build something. 2)Pick a tool you think might work. 3)Build it. 4a) Success? Go to 1. 4b) Failure? Go to 1.

That's a poster child of convention over configuration. One huge benefit of which is maintainability.

It's a bummer this article starts out with a quote about Rails providing a bad OOP learning environment and then talks about the framework itself never touching on the learning of OOP again. -- "it's lead Rails developers to build hug

I think you guys are all thinking about this the wrong way. Siegler's post is about finding the lines that define acceptable content not caring about his exact photo. Knowing what a company like google defines as inappropriate is important

"Compared to old-school, trial-and-error cross pollination, GMO is like using a word processor instead of a manual typewriter." I think that one shitty analogy holds everything the author is trying to convey. And it's the same lack of rea

Do we really need an explanation about why a public reference resource should be free from potential conflict of interest? Capitalism isn't even involved. It's not about making money, it's about keeping the resource available and valuable.

Wow, so Wikipedia is being greedy by not putting ads on their pages?

I don't know if as smart as would be valuable against as low powered as. A computer would make decisions instantly, take much less resources, would die less easily, wouldn't get bored, wouldn't forget it's mission, would feel no sympathy, c

Why would space war ships be manned when we're already flying unmanned vehicles on earth? I think we've touched on a reality of intelligent species coexisting in the universe. Space war would consist of staying hidden and probably nothing e

Interesting that they've chosen to publish the list of current supporters directly in their news release. It's almost as if they're saying directly to the internet, "Leave us alone. Here are the people you should be angry at now." Also some

Lots of people commenting here seem to think that just because something appears to have no effect that it was a failure of an exercise and should have never happened. God forbid it cause a minor inconvenience to other humans. PEOPLE HAVE T

As an absolute first programming language it probably wouldn't be that bad with good instruction. Trying to teach them KidsHaskell after they've become comfortable with KidsRuby on the other hand would probably be a bit more difficult.

"called a war on drug lords in Latin America" This is exactly what I'm talking about. Humans fighting humans. That is a war. The War on Drugs also includes locking up 16 year olds for smoking pot in their own houses. Calling the general c

What he is saying is in support of your point. Those gangs are actually at war. They're fighting over money and control, directly enlisting soldiers and killing each other. Calling a prohibition "The War on Drugs" is a new speak tactic that

I seriously doubt that GoDaddy gives a shit about this. If by this you mean literal outflow of domains, then I agree. But if you mean public relations impact their support of and then half ass retraction of support for SOPA then I disag

While it is certainly a problem that many info-graphics misrepresent information to skew public opinion or attract viewers, picking one aspect of a rather dense packet of information and calling it wrong is hardly a public service. There's

Kind of a bummer. I was expecting the article to be about the density of the universe and the speed of light and whatnot. Instead we've got alien porn to blame. Which, if I know anything about aliens, should be reaching us in the next decad

The 3 oz liquid rule was always a bit laughable to me too. Print 6 fake boarding passes, bring 6 friends, give them 3 ounces of whatever, take 21 ounces on the plane. Makes no sense to me. And still I have to buy a special tiny tube of too
