The recent JavaScript renaissance that we're all enjoying owes debts to JavaScript's foresight as a "free", dynamic language. Bollocks. If javascript wasn't the language of browsers, nobody would use it. Its got nothing to do with javascr

I'd glue those into a PCIe USB card or straight on to the motherboard. Then fill all the remaining holes with glue.

Compressed data reduced your IOPS. Is the drive slower at handle compressed data, or is your OS the bottleneck because its compressing all data before sending to hardware? I appreciate that you might not care exactly where the problem is, b

RISC processors with fixed instruction sizes and enforced 4-byte instruction alignment, are looking even saner than they did before I read this.

It doesn't matter which is more likely, only that there is some positive probability of the second option. No, it requires that the weighting (probability * consequence) is greater in the second case than the first. FTA: 1. But, small as

Surely it would immediately fail the test because which is more likely: the guy is a nutter, or there exists another universe with another turing machine which includes its states and all the states required for ours and all the states

Either that or the fact that one minute the President swears to defend the constitution and then the next minute orders unconstitutional wiretaps, torture, invasion, etc. Or maybe that the country exists because of government tyranny. O

Its pretty standard that "MUST NOT" in specs really means "MUST NOT". I think IE has a very good argument to make in its favor for this specific case Great. What is it?

Incorrect. The IE behavior is also wrong, just in a different way: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt

Its funny that you can trot out the standard in your defense, cut and pasting a relavent paragraph, yet seem unable to read the immediately preceding paragraph of the spec: If the 302 status code is received in response to a request usin

They make it so difficult in fact that just yesterday i got a screenshot of a UDID instead of the text because apple makes it look like you cant cut/paste the thing. Sooo frustrating.

IntelliJ already has shared template libraries, along with in-place choice / definition of the variables. What it doesnt have is the search. I'm betting that gets added shortly.

I apologize. On rereading your first post, your criticism of the fellow was his "stability" not his anger management. You actually did what I was complaining people don't do.

by ldar15 15y ago
Let me be very clear . Anger management problems do NOT correlate with sociopathic behavior. Sociopaths can be charming just as likely as they can be assholes. Equally, someone who is charming is just as likely to be a sociopath as a frust

On the one hand, the evidence provided to back this claim is pretty lame: 1. Microsoft vendor says so. 2. Windows blogger says so. 3. Person *hired* by Microsoft says so. That said, if Adobe can no longer say "hey, at least we're

That just requires interceptors to be maintain some more state than they already do.

I can think of a number of solutions, some human, some programming, to the arguments you put forth here. That you would even make these arguments, when counter-arguments are so immediately obvious, is why you will fail. Its like playing che

The consequence of breaking Rule #1 is that the cheat will be so straightforward that it can be distributed by wizards to muggles and 50% or more of your players will be using it. The "fix" has helped with PR: now the muggles are afraid to

So you describe in your post that the original hack involves modifying the client but now claim that it can't be done? if (visibility = no), then {player = visible} How about: if (visibility = yes ), then { request player name }

Indeed. One from someone "ordinarily skilled in the arts", and one from someone who is supposed to understand what that means.

Re: 1) - quite the contrary Instead there is moral hazard. The process is this: 1. Get a job at USPTO. 2. Deliberately approve tons of awful patents. 3. Leave and get a job at a patent law firm. 4. Profit!!!! Observe that ther

The ideas that Nilay puts forth as good examples of patents are held up here to be bad examples. Why is that? Because Nilay doesn't understand why these patents are obvious. Which is the whole fucking problem with the patent system Nilay: P

Dear Apple: please make "dead" apps continue to show up in the application switcher. If I kill it, fine, remove it from the switcher, but if I dont kill it, then it should still appear to be alive, even if its process has been killed.
