   I disagree. If you use a safe programming language which doesn't piss over memory (I.e. Haskell, Python, Ruby, Lisp etc) you won't need to reboot. Just reload the broken function into your environment and carry on. As for data, the same thi

   That google glass picture scares the fuck out of me. It instantly devalues humanity and values voyeurism and narcissism over family. If this becomes the norm, I'm going all Luddite. I think it will also become: http://www.youtube.com/watch

   Crazy futurist rant... Traditional operating systems such as Linux and windows are 100% dead when non volatile memory comes along in force. Paradigm shift time. There is pretty much no reason to use any filesystem APIs or filesystem any mor

   An alternative view on sentence stupidity (non riots). Compare to above... A chapter from my family's life: £300 fine (no custodial sentence) for a piece of shit punching the shit out of my 25 week pregnant wife and leaving her in hospital

   I'll probably get downvoted for this, but the Nazis had the right idea: eugenics. This is not something I am opposed to from a scientific point of view. We do it with livestock, so why not us? (Before I accidentally invoke Godwin's law, I'm

   They don't need to charge him. They can just extradite to USA for questioning at which point on USA soil they can do what they want with him even if it's not questioning.

    It was a slightly sarcastic point. I'd have more respect for her if she was disposed of after standing up for people of her country. The CCDP is the sort of thing she should have said "screw you hippies" to: http://wiki.openrightsgroup.org

    They are the ones that actually went through the legal system. It doesn't always happen. Look at all the cases of extraordinary rendition over the years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition

    Our germanic aristocratic overlord has done nothing but agree with the government and watch our rights get removed piecemeal over the last 20 years. I know she's a constitutional monarch but that takes the piss. I could almost see the glee

    LOL not Britain. The legal system here is corrupt as anything. Berlusconi looks like Jesus compared to most of our political and legal elite.

    have you tried Python? I find it far more "normalised" than Ruby, Perl or Java.

    I'm quite surprised actually! I've not seen COBOL in the finance sector (at least in the UK) for about 5-6 years. Perhaps there still are a few corners where there are some rotting corpses hacking away on AS/400s which are actually gluing e

    I suffer from the same trouble on occasions. I primarily deal with the Microsoft ecosystem which is volatile and fragmented at the best of times. I would kill to do something in good old java/mysql. A lot of the new ideas and principles are

    He doesn't need it and you probably don't either. Honestly, are you more productive compared to 10 years ago? I'm not. 99% of the computing performance enhancements have been burned straight away on inefficiencies. Back in '99 I was unfortu

    I never knew you could get individual parts. I found that the desk I have has some resonance with a Sony all in desktop pc I had. Was solved by putting a couple of glue gun glue blobs on the bottom of the unit. Was slightly annoying.
