Meh, I'd rather have one server, honestly. It takes two seconds to restart an IRC server.

Not sarcasm. I'm entirely annoyed with the software industry's constant attempts to make money off problems that were solved by someone else decades ago. I'm pretty sure this recent instability won't make Slack go out of

Meanwhile, IRC continues to work exactly as well as it has for 20+ years.

The amount of work necessary to generate new versions of CentOS is not feasible for individuals.

I'm going to venture a guess that you don't write much rendering code or fonts. A polluted standard makes it more difficult to implement the standard. In practice this is passed on to the user in performance and monetary cost, not

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when law enforcement compromises the security of a network without a warrant, they need to be prosecuted and jailed under the same law that any other hackers breaking the law would be. As

I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about outliers when there are so few major exchanges.

Apparently you didn't study it last week when Coinbase was $20-$50 different from BTC-E for 5 days.

Ah, I agree on that front. That does make sense. But I still don't think this should distract from a conversation about encryption. Encryption has very importat implications for free press and privacy far outside of preventing terroris

Ah, yeah, that's an interesting concern. Anyone with more knowledge about microbes want to weigh in on how much of a concern this really is?

But checking this flag takes another instruction, no? I'm thinking more along the lines of some sort of interrupt being thrown automatically if the operation overflows.

Yeah, from what I can tell (I'm not a professional in this field) the underlying issue here seems to be that bacteria are evolving faster than the fungi and molds that produce antibiotics. The solution is to find something that evolves

The infinite loop on unsigned integers exemplifies a failure in C's type system: integer wraparound is so rarely desirable behavior that a range error on wraparound would prevent many such errors from failing silently. There's an

I agree that you've identified a problem. I don't agree that it's a technical problem. It seems to me that technology simply doesn't offer any solutions to this kind of problem. Perhaps that's a failure of imaginati

There will always be crazies, but crazies like Qutb would likely not have as many supporters if they didn't have a wide base of people with real reasons to dislike the US to draw from.
