Pretty amazing a public domain book is still selling so well.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. Although I'm guessing a few devs are in the boat with "all company PCs must be windows." Gives them an out no?

I am guilty of this. The real question is will I ever change this habbit? I see percentage of us here locking things down. The rest, and the rest of the developers out there likely won't. This needs to be fixed at the browser level I d

That's kind of irrelevant. I was simply using torrents as an example. The problem with the category thing is that it makes your passtime more important than my passtime. And suddenly the passtime that pays the most is going to get pref

That sounds fine, until you realise there is always congestion at prime time. Suddenly, you've got throttling allowed against one person's service and not another, because "categories". This is not neutral.

That's exactly my point though. It's not the same category, but it IS a competing service playing on an unfair playing field. Leveling the playing field for people playing the same game is all fine and dandy, but it completely fuc

Really, who is going to challenge the difference between Netflix and torrents. Both video. Both serve the end user in the same way. But nobody will challenge it because nobody is in charge of torrents. This kills neutrality completely. Ther

Don't try to put storage into containers at this point. You'll just be in for a bad time. Either run a seperate vps for MySQL or use a hosted solution. Containerization will get there but i think putting old some types of old scho

That's what it means to you. It does not mean that to the vast majority of people. I can have a red line through mine and be just as secure as you with a green padlock. This is what the ap is speaking of when he mentions snake oil. You

I enjoyed how you attacked his use of the word lacky while ignoring his accusation. Kind of like how he was explaining how the author didn't outright defend Hillary, but subtley did defend Hillary.

I'm trying to get started with rkt right now but it's (understandable) lack of maturity is a bit daunting, I think some usability issues need to be handled / offloaded to some other tools. And acbuild severly needs caching bu

One caveat is where I work we found the hiring pool to be an issue. Senior Devs were usually only by title, and graduate Devs are much more plentiful, we slowly chopped out three seniors and replaced each with competent grad hires. Turned o

While not an instance of a security exploit, the right tweet can and does result in this sort of insider trading. Options are leveraged vehicles, you don't need to hurt the fundamentals of a business, you only need to ensure short term

That argument only holds up if you believe in intellectual property. Many of us here do not.

Heh, fwiw, there is another one, shrink-wrap agreements, where you can't read the agreement until you've removed the shrink-wrap but doing so means you've agreed.

With that logic decreased wages for women are not a double standard due to the potential for maternity leave affecting their output at work. This is a double standard plain and simple, and a very dangerous one at that.

The one language argument, as far as I can tell began when people tried to share code across the server and the front end, it sort of worked for one persons use case but nobody else really had much success with the endevor (at least that I&

Recommending an x220 with a new battery / ssd / ram. Probably still cheaper than an ipad. Although the ipad / or I'd suggest android tablet may be the better way to go. Charging from battery packs is easier than a laptop

I think we're both aware, the lawful part wasn't up for debate, we're more discussing whether its moral/ethical than anything else. I think it is a necessary evil for the most part but I still hold the opinion it isn&#x2

That would entirely depend on how you feel about taxes and how you're government uses them. As someone who's experienced both a muggings and police brutality I'm not really going to see much of a difference.

I'm aware its probably not an accurate portrayal, its just the kind of thing the UK/AU/NZ hears a lot from americans and we don't quite understand the narrow minded logic. While you're right that the doll bludger sh

As someone on the for side for BI, I still see "lawful taxation" as an equivalent of armed robbery. Try to dodge the tax man for enough money there will be gunmen at your door to take you to prison.
