But as I'm typing, Gmail is saving my draft automatically to Google servers. Normally, at least. This means Google would have a copy of my email as it existed before I encrypted it. In your testing, do you see any evidence that this ex

Could someone explain to me what appeal is left to Bitcoin once you get rid of anonymity? There must be some, given all the trackable-as-dollars implementations I've seen lately, like the Bitcoin debit card and this, which is actually

You're wrong, the extension by default is unique, shtml. You can order your webserver to parse all HTML files as SSI but it's not recommended. Searching for server side includes on google works fine. And the comment-formatted &quo

But some of it was just math -- a large company with many teams that need to coordinate slows things down. I like this anecdote from a Microsoft engineer about how it took a year to design a really crappy shutdown menu with nine (nine!) opt

There was a period, including the time Ubuntu launched and got popular, that Debian was infamously slow to update stable. Along came Ubuntu with a clockwork-like release cycle (every six months IIRC) and up-to-date packages, even in LTS. (I

Are there any cert providers who have particularly solid reputations? I get basic certs via my domain provider Gandi, they run ~$17 year (12 euros), or $160 for wildcard which seems steep.

Ah, so now we're up to five emails. Seems like a lot of work and wasted time. To each his own, it doesn't get me personally exercised, but I don't think you've got much leg to stand on judging others.

So it's respectful to forward someone's entire email verbatim without their permission, to talk about said person behind his back, and to spread a simple email introduction over four time-consuming emails instead of two? But it&#x

Why do you assume you have to be moderate to consider both sides? Doesn't it seem like once you objectively consider both sides often enough you begin to develop informed opinions that could make it hard to remain a moderate? But that

Bitcoin went up more than tenfold in less than six months. Then if fell by more than half in less than one month. So I strongly disagree that most people would want to use that for their checking account, paycheck, etc. I am also baffled by

I stand corrected! Fair point. While I wish the original author had not sidestepped the data integrity issue, I can see why he'd want to address the index issue independently.

This is an incredibly suboptimal approach. Postgresql (and even Mysql for that matter) lets you explicitly declare foreign key references when you create/alter a table and then the database will enforce integrity of those references fo
