Who would know just how long a MAC address is? Jeez man, these things are literally written as 6 bytes separated by colons. Asking a network engineer this question is about like asking a postman how long a zipcode is.

I thought the same. The claim in the first paragraph that experts "knew" torture would not cause long-lasting psychological harm is so absurd on the face of it, I lost interest in the article pretty fast.

I am outraged by the drug war, therefore I will not vote for a drug warrior. Not sure what else to say.

I will never, ever vote for anyone who supported the drug war. Yes, that includes you, Hillary.

I learned FORTRAN in at a summer job between jr and sr years of high school from the source code of some version in 1978 on a MODCOMP mini computer with IBM terminals where I saw zeroes with dots in the middle for the first time.

This is the 1729th time I've heard a form of this joke just in the past year. Hey, I just noticed something. 1729 is the smallest positive integer that can be written as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.

I am @iconjack, poser of the question, ask me anything! Kidding aside, as an avid user of the whole stackexchange suite, it is kind of interesting to me how popular this question became. It was only my second question on graphics design and

I hope you didn't read my comment as saying Python 2 is better. Personally I don't have an opinion on that. But as you can see from this thread and many, many others, a lot of people are disappointed with Python 3's choices.

by iconjack 10y ago
Well I'm sure this is a naive point of view, but I'm going to put it out there anyway. It seems there are many Python devotees out there who are lukewarm about Python 3, and quite a few who really don't like it at all, hence

From the comments here, it seems like people either didn't read the article, or just don't believe the study, because it pretty much says it is ok to smoke and drive. For marijuana, and for a number of other legal and illegal

Microsoft tried something similar years ago with HTML Applications (.HTA), essentially web apps that could talk to the file system. Didn't seem to work out, though.

Good luck uninstalling it. The thing was designed in the vein of malware. It was almost as hard to clean off my system as RealAudio.

I normally frown upon people getting too hung up on page design on HN, but this one I gotta admit is a real WTF'er. When you "scroll" down, it's doing page loads, and filling up browser history. Back back back back back

Back in the 90s, there was a piece in Wired by Will Shortz about then-president Bill Clinton's crossword prowess—he claimed he could solve the NYT puzzle in about 10 minutes, if I recall. But readers who would care about this would a

One more example, from the 70s: TARGET, a text-mode shootem-up on the SOL-20 had sound effects—just put your transistor radio (every kid had one) near the computer while playing. Took a bit of futzing with the tuner, but there used to be mo

I was wondering that myself. Figured it must be because SO deleted the original, but like you, I checked and there it was, not even closed.
