I don't know... maybe it's where I work, but the post-mortems I've been to all too often mandate some useless extra layer of review or process on top of an already byzantine change control scheme. Sometimes, "shit happens", and I wish our a

Walked around Japantown and went on a sailing cruise. Might check out the Haight later.

There are benefits to sprawl... I do wish there were more shopping center/apartment complex combos, which would make for a nice place to live, play and drink without driving. OTOH, I like low rent, low taxes, fresh air, and small(er) govern

Interesting. In Texas, location matters in transit (arteries and such) in a similar manner, esp. in San Antonio. That's why I choose to live a mile from work, so my commute is 10 minutes on a really bad day. But ya, Texan neighborhoods migh

Y'all talk about all these different cities as if the distance is that big a deal. Help me understand. In Texas, everything is 10-20 miles from everything else. In other words, y'all phrase it as if these cities are very distinct and unique

It wouldn't have to be your bank, either; it could be the retailer that sells your information.

I get that CL has a fast UI that is very easy to understand for non-technical users. But why can't they somehow work with others who want to improve the experience? There have been several sites that I have personally used to aggregate sear

Yes, the one about manipulation. It's in the title. Go ahead: read, do the opposite of what he suggests, and see how many people thank you for how "not-Dale Carnegie" you are.

It's about the ease and cost of use. Not every local police dept. is going to have on-demand access to a LEO satellite for tracking purposes. These bulky UAVs are the tip of the iceberg. What happens when police can have $20 robotic humming

So instead of seeing "theatlantic.com" in a link, we'll see "mypersonalop-edblog.wordspot.com". Cool.

If Reddit wanted to end karma whoring in general (to an extent), they'd move to a slashdot system where numbers are hidden, and only vague ranges (bad, new, good, excellent) are given. It wouldn't completely rid the site of the bigger votin

It seems most people here accept that NYC should, or has the right to, limit the activities of consenting private parties. Why should the government keep a couple from paying me a fwe bucks to shuffle them down the road? Oh ya, NYC and sele

As if that would be appropriate or necessary to solve whatever privacy problems we have. It's the U.S. government trying to take anonymity and privacy away from the Internet; do we want them making weak, unenforceable, irremovable laws on h

Supply your version to the jbcrypt website, or host it! If you want to put it up for FOSS.

Ya, that's silly. A common and simple password setup is hash(username+password) or hash(private_account_attribute+password). Also, use bcrypt/scrypt/similar.

If I recall, it was the nations of Earth that suppressed the human rights of those on the moon... But yes, even as I read your comment, I thought, "This guy must be quite faithful to large government." In the same breath you're blasting cor

My friend and I were debating this topic today. We both agree that ideally, a well rounded education in the arts and sciences is optimal. However, is it necessary for the skilled completion of many trades? I don't think so. I think high sch

There's really not any problem with hosting servers at a cloud provider that isn't shady. Encrypt the data on the drive, use a reasonable firewall policy, then all you have to be concerned about is application layer breaches. Trust me, lots

The last line implies that SpaceX won't be ready to ferry astronauts to the ISS until 2017. 1) I thought they were closer than that 2) The ISS is slated for decomm in 2016, or is it 2020?

Wait, we actually move money in the US nowadays? I figured the big banks just had stacks of gold and cash in a central vault and moved it around cells every quarter. Why shouldn't a fiat currency be bits?

Well, there are some people cough who think that "fighting money laundering" is not a plus, and that the process of fighting fraud (NOT hacking, but "oops my credit card got stolen) shouldn't be at the API level. Granted, the United State

Really? You're not going to use the product because of its naming. I understand possible apprehension at bragging about it and proselytizing, but whatever. I do think it's hard to sell to non-techies, though.

Still wouldn't help, I don't think. Your DNS server is likely just a caching server, which means it forwards requests to another, third party server.

Too bad this didn't get pushed a few months ago; would have been nice to have some of these features in the LTS. Oh well... I have the tiling feature patched in, though.

http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/qh0q7/xubuntu_1204_th... You don't need Kupfer, since a application quick launcher is in Xubuntu. Kupfer does launch locations as well as applications, though. You can edit the shortcuts in Xubuntu.

If you despise Unity, switch to Xubuntu. A minimal amount of customization allows it to feel just like Gnome 2.
