Went to check it out, expecting something funny. Was surprised to see the most comprehensive and will written documentation I've ever seen on Github!

It is an improvements to the usual naming convention "Microsoft Business Share Centre Enterprise Edition 2016 R2” though! I prefer the single naming concept even if the name isn't stellar.

I think that's a given these days. Russia, the US and above all, Israel, are becoming masters at it. It's just one more tool in the cyber-arsenal. Still, in this case it is quite obvious, but the Russians aren't known for bei

> Another point: the court has no enforcement mechanism. I suspect if all the major European powers disagree with one of its rulings, they will easily be able to flaunt it with impunity. I don't think that is true. As it stand today

I couldn't see from those links, but what is their business model exactly? I am a happy signal user BTW, but I can't see how they are making money off me.

Indeed. I'm also an ex-smoker. Many of my friends are doctors and nurses. Many of them smoke. The irony is almost tragic.

I'm a big believer that for every up there is a down. I respect Iceland for doing this. Rather than giving into a fear of the unknown, they faced their demons. It is without doubt a painful ride, but if any one of us were to negligentl

A word of warning about NLP. Practitioners can be somewhat cultish. NLP is really about learning techniques to get people to do what you want then to do. Once they realise that you are doing that to them, they start to hate you for it. Once

With regards to your comments about assumed stability, I believe you are right. The slow attrition of our civil rights and the strengthening of the surveillance state is not unlike the process of smoking cigarettes. In the beginning it seem

It is a surprise to us, since the propaganda we read shows ISIS as completely insane. If you read their propaganda exclusively then I could imagine you might be swayed the other way. We are all subject to propaganda every day. We have littl

More importantly, total counts are pointless. "Average response time to released fix" would be a more valuable metric for comparison.

Coming next week... 75% of our users watch pornography at least twice a week. On average it takes 4.73 minutes for males between 28 and 33 years of age, with a household income of between $65-75k pa, who work in the advertising industry and

Have you found a favourite distro? I started using Ubuntu a couple of years ago on my home laptop, but when that new design came out with that horrible big side bar, I kind of gave up on it. I also ended up buying a new laptop that came wit

People generally don't mind doing things that slowly kill other people or themselves for that matter. Smokers are a prime example. If the effect was immediate and those 9000 odd people just dropped to the ground dead as you drive past

I'm completely the opposite. Mathematical equations and proofs make my brain shut up shop. One day we will figure out what parts of the brain allow some people to prefer working using one way rather than the other. Until then, I'm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the underlying concept of a democracy is to vote for one person to represent you in congress. So why is it that these people only stand up for the rest of us when they themselves are directly and personally

The point is to level the playing field and de-power the global corporation. They have now become more powerful than countries and I see that as a problem. It means that they can overpower democracy, which we are seeing more and more throug

You've missed my point. There is no point in levying a profit based corporation tax. I'm suggesting a straight internet sales tax, similar to VAT, rated to raise a revenue comparable to what the country is missing or on in terms o
