I find it nevertheless amusing that there is some sort of 'special' line in the sand between these apparently two 'divergent fields of focus', because with all computing, from day one, you can't run your software on

As long as good technology gets communicated well enough to be effectively applied, with real results, there is hope in the world. How we go about doing that, especially for life-destroying subjects such as these diseases, is a matter of g

The lives saved by devices like this may end up being the ones who improve science, medicine, and technology sufficiently well enough to come up with the next innovation to improve conditions in life. Point? Entropy is a bitch, but mankind

Oh, I know, it 'needs to be managed' because its 'scarce'. Having lived in Los Angeles for a significant period of my life, I know exactly where 'water management for the people, by the people' leads us .. to

I know what nmap is, and its not the tool I was referring to .. the entire program (a 'tool for governments') is the object of my ire.

I still find it hard to believe that there are people who justify these heinous tools as 'necessary' or 'vital' to the survival of the Western "democracies" who deploy them. Its a terrible state of affairs tha

I yearn to explore the middle east in a peaceful, productive way .. so much culture, so much for me - a white, privileged, western man - to enjoy and understand. So many mysteries, so much history, so many very, very significant things whi

Whats next .. Air? Come on, this is just totalitarianism in another form. Control the worlds water, and you control the world - what more do you want to demonstrate this is a power grab by greedy fascists?

Well .. ""I am the product of a state school, so I am jealous of grammar/scholarship kids, and generally dismissive of private/public school kids."" .. this is precisely an example of the factors - cla

I think that the UK is still considered the most classist country in Europe.. to an outsider, the confusing arrays of 'types of people' that you would encounter during a trip to the UK, as described by its denizens, lends credence

Did you, by chance, pay for your own education?

My experience with the tech scene in the UK leads me to believe that it is the class system which has to be broached in order for this to be broken wide open. Too often in English society clear class division is used to keep people out of

Their secrecy is a turn off - as well as the people who are orbiting around the company. Do we really want the ideologies of the likes of Henry Kissinger and Donald Rumsfeld - people who have extraordinary track records of not doing good

This question: "Among other things, I want to answer a burning question: What drove Snowden to leak hundreds of thousands of top-secret documents, revelations that have laid bare the vast scope of the government’s domestic surveillance

Credit-card only option? Sorry, but no thanks. I'll come back to Flynn when I can pay for it with a method other than credit card. (Startups should not assume the whole world wants to use credit cards.)

In the OpenPandora (and other F/OSS gaming console) scenes, there is already a bit of this going on to a degree - for example, MAME and NES emulators have different rendering modes that can be configured to make the graphics less pixel

I've since gone through the setup of Guacamole and tried things out - indeed, its as you state, you can isolate users pretty well. I was able to set up 3 test users, each with their own WM, and independent logins on the machine .. and

I wonder if this can be used to set up a multi-headed workstation environment, where each user has their own desktop (Linux) on the same large, megalithic server? I have a machine with 128gigs of RAM and 1TB of SSD .. this seems like the p

Get rid of income tax, how about that. Its not needed so much any more, since there will always be innovative ways to avoid paying tax; that is the purpose of technology, so far, it seems.

America has surely done the very same thing as Russia is being accused of, countless times over the last 50 years. Why the double standard? Are American soldiers somehow 'better' than the Russian kind?

Personally I agree with your statement, there is a lot about the build structure that can just be held standardly on already-working systems .. its nice to have for example, the known debian/ tree structures, etc. 'make dirs&#x27

First, XCode's build system can at times, not always, deliver total interference in platform portability. You are using a tool designed to lock-in to the platform. There is little use for XCodes' huge taxonomy, but for XCode. Se

I'm reminded of some of my favourite C 1-liners for synthesis: main(t){ for(t=0;;t++) putchar(t*(((t>>12)|(t>>8))&(63&(t>>4)))); //putchar(t>>7|t%45)&(

Problem: too much carbon dioxide. Solution: stash it in minerals. Problem: its expensive to go to space. Solution: use the minerals to build a space elevator (or at least a mountain upon which to build it..) Problems?

meh. TTY programming was hard in the 90's, and then it was done. If you find it hard now, you're probably still just learning all about it. Its an old, well and truly solved problem. The slayers of yesterdays TTY dragons are t

I am not an expert, this is my opinion based on casual observation and some experience with the death-roll that one encounters in maintaining a wifi-based Linux machine, but the 'reason for this', for those asking, or "why is
