As someone who has benefitted a whole lot from nationalized industries, I feel it would be immoral for me to deny other countries the same opportunity. For me, the shareholders in an oil company are less important than the inhabitants of th

It has a very rational basis - the 'clean nature' fad is a reaction to various food manufacturers deliberately producing cheap but bad food, for a long time. Now, that doesn't mean it's always the correct reaction. But i

I absolutely agree with the author, in that I find SML the most pleasant to read (and write). And I've said this before: If only SML actually had proper unicode support, I might use it for something real.

So, it's obviously hard to defend against a freeze attack when the computer is sleeping - because the key is still needed. But I feel like disk encryption software should, when the computer is being shut down, prepare some random data

> We no longer build or package reference assemblies for the .NET 2.0, .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 APIs. We only support now the .NET 4.5 assemblies as well as the mobile-based profiles. Does that go for the runtime as well? Does this mean I ca

It wouldn't surprise me if your video casettes lost far more "bits" than your DVDs, but, being analog, it's not nessescarily noticable.

The simple reason it's _always_ wrong, is that you'll _always_ start sliding down the slippery slope. How many of those terrorist attacks would even be planned if the U.S. and its allies didn't use torture?

The Almighty Wiki says 'Usually, tardigrades are about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long when they are fully grown'. Following the reference, we find that they're almost translucent, but can be seen in the right light [1]. 1: http:

I agree that the article wasn't very clear on this. It does, however, say that Oregon law requires the lottery to tell players the win chance. The state lottery knew that the win chance they told players (0.9), was actually higher than

It doesn't. This distro is supposed to be about design and usability, though. If that's their idea of usability, I think I'll go elsewhere.

Will the ISPs overwrite this header if already present? If so, isn't that a kind of huge problem? If not, can't someone make a mobile browser that sets these headers to some random value?
