That's totally not my experience. Yes, it requires more space/RAM, but in fairly regular for today 4GB RAM machines, Win 7/Win 8 fly compared to Win XP with 3GB RAM. So, my anecdata sees yours. Any real data/benchmarks t

Naive. Neither terrorists nor military leaders have anything to lose. The ones who actually lose are those who have no say in the matter: civilians and cannon fodder.

Oh, everyone's apathetic, so, why bother? You're part of the apathy. Not a great way to bring change. Nevertheless, as the rest of the world shows, there are people interested in change (see Kiev, Egypt, among others) Heck, even t

Saying it's nothing new is nothing new. Let's change that mentality! And revolutions usually take many generations to get to a boil. In these days given information flows a lot faster, it's going to take two or three instead

No, but it certainly puts the importance of good language design in perspective. We tend to overvalue good design just for good design's sake.

Or they did find him illegally and found later on the public pattern-matching exercise to justify their findings. Which is exactly the point of parallel construction. We cannot know.

Why would you know how or why Ghostery is paid just because you run their database? Unless you are something more than Ghostery's DBA.

The author is indeed suggesting writing RESTy APIs are fool's errands, where the operative word is "RESTy" (ie, misinterpreted REST, which is the most common REST implementation, sadly) I mostly agree with that author's

Counterpoint to First: What is comfortable to you as a Rails dev is immaterial to what's the better solution, so that's a moot argument. My take on that particular issue is that you accept headers, offering them as the supported w

How is that different from the cases where batches of faulty cars are sold and cause crashes and deaths? With OTA updates you can at least fix it with a rollback, quickly, before more people die. I fail to see this as a move of power from i

How independent you'd have to be to be secure? Quite a whole lot. If you use a VPS, you can (will) be owned by your VPS provider and any Internet provider your traffic goes through. If you use colocation or self host, you will have to

So a government can apply terrorism law to a person having information that's damaging to its interests? That certainly looks like police state to me. And I'm not even mentioning the 9 hours detention, not needed at all to recover

You'd still pay for it one way or the other. It's the government, you/we pay for all of it.

You can't please everybody. You, as a government, have to choose one of those states. I personally prefer a government that will choose to stay on line 10, especially because profiling everyone will not prevent terrorism at all, unless it's

The point is that the means of verification they're implementing are ludicrous. There are MUCH better ways to get a verified ID without causing this uproar, and that's why the only reasonable conclusion is that they are misleading their cus
