"What's nice about OAuth is that it allows the end user to control access to information and revoke access as needed." Really? This has NEVER been my experience with OAuth or similar protocols. It's always all or nothing

I wonder if the author has protested at any point (getting into an unmarked vehicle, not being returned to original destination, being ordered to take the clothes off (!?)). I also wonder if he was formally informed of the reason behind the

The burden of proof usually lies on the person suggesting a change to an existing process. What arguments would you give to try to convince someone to do TDD? Because arguments against can be really simple and reasonable: "it's a

Hmm. I find proposed answers to these questions somewhat... unexpected. Lacking, in fact. They focus so much on technical ability, and seem to ignore the human side of being a manager. Starting with the first one... "1) Let’s say you a

Re: the last paragraph ("The lesson to be..."). Is it really the lesson you can learn? Doesn't this friend of yours know this? Didn't he actively try to persevere, to see how he works and what makes him stop and what could possibly keep him

Are you suggesting that if you point my browser to a malicious URL [Chrome on Win 7] I will get malware "just like that", without clicking anything? How's that possible, exactly? (I have no Java installed.) I understand there could be a _se

"I don't expect for-profit companies to support things that has no value (to them) other than harming their revenue stream." If users can't block ads they hate through AdBlock on Chrome, they may switch to a different browser or OS. That's

It looks to me increasingly that Mr. Schmidt is aiming at a political office. I'm wondering which one... in the US or international, e.g. United Nations?

My sympathies to the family and friends of Aaron. tl;dr While it hurts to lose a loved person, at least that person no longer suffers. One point from the blog I have a hard time relating to: "Because whatever problems Aaron was facing, kill

Very interesting information about dancing, thanks for sharing that! I can see how people have _preferences_. If something is new & hard (a possible definition for learning), I would imagine we instinctively look for ways to make progre

[this is a digression on learning styles] Ah. The VAK model. I looked briefly for scientific support for this "theory" on the Internet, but I couldn't really find any. Wikipedia suggested it's a theory with little to no support, and other l

You write that people have a number of different learning styles. What do you mean by learning styles? What kinds are there?

Interesting. Why do you think it falls apart? Is there something a book author can do to make it "stick"? Is there something the book _reader_ might do (e.g. before / during reading the book) to be more receptive? What other medium would wo

I've only touched Java a bit, but AFAIK it has quite strict package hierarchy system that allows naming and grouping things nicely. Why then people keep creating long class names in the first place? I get it that this particular example mig

I disagree. I think the blog post perfectly shows one of the common rationalizations when pirating software. I'd even say more -- regardless of the intention of the post, it actually pictures how people act when they are angry / frustrate.

There's something to what you sad. Isn't it ironic to see a situation that so closely mirrors piracy? - with DRMed books, Amazon says "yes, you >>have<< these ebooks, you paid for them [wink]", but Amazon actually can take

Can someone explain in plain English what is the purpose of this tool for an actual TrueCrypt user? I'm confused what it does, other than perhaps demonstrating weakness of certain passwords, or maybe some vulnerability in the way TC works.

I would add that having your true/correct beliefs offended should not be excuse for burning or destroying. I met quite some people who seem just as offended when what is known to others as true is questioned or criticized. It's curious that

I'm confused. Is this article saying that in the US it's illegal for a maker of the product to sell the product to whomever he wants? How is that helping anyone but the dealerships?
