   Losing it all is the only endgame I can see from that. Price will bomb rapidly especially with all the bad press. I'm really not confident about this.

   You're paying for the gold-plated toilets, gold plated sandwiches being delivered and gold plated whores that they use. Having interviewed at a couple of ticketing outfits and working at one for a single day (before I decided over an meatba

   Doh! More seriously, there is not enough information to conclusively identify me on the Internet from my postings here and the server logs.

   That's one reason I run my home WiFi like a coffee shop :) Plausible deniability.

   Granted the guy is a holy grade prick, but he's kept Microsoft together fine over the last few years. In fact they've improved as a company quite incredibly recently, bar the legal shenanigans...

   I watched some poor guy at an agency I worked for slide into the drive the single CDRW that his life's work was sitting on. A few whizzes later a large explosion shook the room from the drive and bits of plastic went flying all over the roo

   DEC is the new Unisys. IBM is the new DEC. Microsoft is the new IBM. Apple is the new Microsoft. Linux is the new... err ahh... BSD is the new.. err umm... Screw opening corporations. Break the cycle entirely I say.

   I voted you back up. I'm slightly concerned that the down vote was simply retaliatory against the norm which appears to be Common here. I too would like to understand.

    Another fucking blog using grey on white text. My poor eyes :( Updated comment: article rocks - there goes my evening. Wonder if it'll work with SBCL.

    Django's ORM is a piece of junk compared to a proper one such as SQLalchemy, hibernate or nhibernate. I wouldn't go drawing conclusions until you've experienced something else.

    Great idea - I think 'c' should be a shell alias though. Tagging support would be cool.

    Cool good stuff. Couple of ideas you're welcome to (I played with exactly the same idea you have a few years ago but couldn't be bothered in the end): The distinction between private and commercial ads isn't always clear, particularly on Gu

    Please don't aggregate Foxtons. They are utter asshats and half their properties don't exist.

    The number plate recognition is 100% ineffective. People use fake plates all the time.

    Spot on. To be honest 99% of us ignore it and treat it like a different world. However, if it becomes a problem en masse the shit WILL hit the fan and the accountable will be made examples of.

    It's another whack-a-mole job. People will just tunnel a new internet through the old one based on peer trust and this is instantly no longer an issue.

    Easier doesn't imply correctness, ease of maintenance and preservation of semantics. Macros are the least desirable "quality" of various LISPs if you ask me. A suitable abstraction can always be built cleanly and efficiently without relying

    A compiler is a translator, not a meta-programming system.

    You can but you introduce a "forward-only" semantic translation prior to compilation which changes the meaning of the code irreversably. A basic abstraction remains untouched in the underlying implementation. It's just a call away. There a

    Well one place I worked, the entire network's DNS was hanging off the back of a single VAXstation running NetBSD. That was serving for 2350 machines. One day, someone accidentally fork bombed it via a bad script and when they power cycled i

    I'm a firm believer that if you write code that writes code, you are using inadequate tooling. The primary concern of a problem should always be possible to solve without metaprogramming. Metaprogramming is one of those things which sounds

    I don't think the EU will like this. They seem to have a lot of sane opinions about such things at the moment.

    When there is a singular person responsible for a decision, corruption is inevitable. They are an easy target. Judicial decisions should be taken by a council rather than an individual.
