Because it's just another form of bread and circus to placate the masses while Rome burns all around them. Sports, IMO, brings very little long-term benefit to our society, especially compared to the money sunk into it. Who were any

I'd ask what the other 83.7 percent are doing right, and seek to emulate them rather than just sit on my duff and whine. edit: maybe I'm predisposed to being 'less compassionate' about stuff like this because I have indi

So... what's the point of this article? Young man who: * quits HS early, has multiple opportunities to get equivalent degree but doesn't * quits his first job without another lined up * 'hangs around' for a couple of ye

Does 1Password have a Linux client? Looking at their page, they appear to only support Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.

And at a population of roughly 35 million people to the USA's 319 million, you have a tenth of the population too.

Haha, not at all. I was just looking for an excuse to post 'Open Sourcerers'. Regardless, to quote Calvin (of '& Hobbes' fame), "Verbing weirds language".

Open Sourcers - is verbing a thing now? Why not 'Open Sourcerers', or 'Open Sourcists'?

As a sysadmin, seeing this kind of stuff gives me The Rage(tm). Don't fight the distro - your distro of choice (Debian, RedHat, BSD, -buntu, whatever) already HAS ways of deploying your software. It even plays nice with interdepend

Is it too much to ask for a mapping service that doesn't try to be smarter than me? I don't want 'recommended venues' or maps that 'get smarter with use'. I want directions from Point A to Point B (sometime

I've got TomatoUSB on my Asus router. EXCEPTIONALLY powerful and stable firmware with great wireless coverage. This past weekend, pardon my humblebrag, I was able to segregate my network into separate VLANs for the home LAN, guest wi

Don't suppose you could share a few links where I could find out about digging up this kind of information on myself, could you? I'm kind of curious to see what kind of data-trails I'm dropping :-) (he asks as he starts drop

They did have a blurb that said this was all "public information", but if I pop my name and car into $search_engine (for example) nothing relevant comes up.

To be honest, it's kind of creepy. I just identified myself, and they somehow knew what month and year I purchased my car, a list of names I may or may not have been 'associated' with, a list of counties I may or may not hav

It's an acceptable simplification for (presumably) a non-technical audience. Rather than write a paragraph or three about 'what is a SQL and why should I care', then another paragraph or three of 'what is a Hadoop, why

May I be the first to say, "tough cookies" (pun fully intended) to their ire :-) My browser, my rules. If advertisers want to sell me something, they can find a less-underhanded way to do it than tracking my every mouse-click.

Can you show me a copy of this social contract I've supposedly signed? I hear so much about 'social contract' this, 'social contract' that, but I have yet to clap eyes upon it...

How is Chile on personal firearms ownership? It seems silly to set down roots on the basis of personal freedom without being able to defend oneself.

What about RT? It's self hosted and free as in speech AND beer. There are also support packages available from BestPractical if your company needs them.

I wish there was some mechanism to allow a recipient to upload a PGP public key, that way future messages could be sent securely directly to the account-holder in question. Added bonus - it would bring more widespread adoption to PGP and r

I personally think a better headline would be "Harvard faculty shocked and awed by Real World practices and policies intruding on Ivory Tower" :-) I wonder how many of these faculty are aware that the US Gov't is already reading their emai
