While I agree with the premise, I think no one has touched on why SO has lost its crowned place among programmers. Simply put, search has gotten much better, and programmers have mass adopted blogging. I wasn't aware of StackOverflow&#

From the rest of the article, I can only assume it means 'correctly' in the sense of the reality arrived at by both user agents and servers after years of standards-flouting, which is now 'correct' if unspecified behavio

BlackDeath3's argument was that a voting system is the means through which the best comments, as deemed by the majority of users, receive the most exposure. You misunderstood them and referred them to the current top comment, pointing

I love this idea. Also, the ability to track police abuse-of-power/brutality instances by location would be extremely useful.

This man's facebook post alone, and especially absent of any kind of access to a gun, are no grounds to assume any actual intent to cause physical harm. Far from it, I would say artists who have a history of violent confrontation, writ

While they're at it why not arrest every musician, poet, and writer who ever penned dark or violent writing.

Perhaps it's possible, but it would be harder to chain an actual sound with a part spectral print of another sound. I think here they are cropping out the part of the vocal recording that falls outside of the range played by a piano, a

I can't see how friction is factoring into the directions the balls initially scatter, as it's not taking the rotation of the balls into account. With that being said, wouldn't the balls all go in the same initial direction a

You approve of an action that happens to be illegal, and think people who take that action deserve prison time? I don't follow. If a person's actions are noble in my estimation, I wouldn't wish punishment upon them for their

Out of interest in the topic, I had to look into this further. It appears the current oral LD50 in humans for nicotine is assumed to be 6.5-13 mg/kg (perhaps even as low as 1 mg/kg in children). Nicotine is also said to be very
