So you come to a conclusion and then ignore any contradictory evidence, because it all must be part of the conspiracy. Seems level-headed and reasonable.

Except prohibition was a constitutional amendment, and the Supremecy Clause of said Constitution says that an amendment take precedence over any state (or federal) law. Drug prohibition laws are federal, but not part of the constitution. Ve

That's precisely what Tab Groups are meant to do. And Firefox can be set to not keep background tabs in memory. So yea, that behavior is quite possible today.

Being a beginner in NYC, Boston or DC is just as daunting. I've had had to navigate transit systems as both a tourist and as a daily commuter, and calling Bart-Caltrain particularly worse than the equivalent worse parts of other metr

Until you want to watch a playlist or a channel without choosing each video each time. Feather Beta doesn't work with the "Play all" links or playlists in general.

This is a terrible rant written in block-of-text style, to make it seem foreboding. You're cherry-picking things and describing them in the most difficult way possible. Any mass transit system is confusing at first. Bart+Caltrain are n

Is 'unbelievable' even remotely the right word?

Using wordplay doesn't make your point more interesting. Slaves can't enter contracts, by birth or otherwise. Minors can't enter contracts, either, so your parents entered you on your behalf when you were born. You maintain i

>Taxes are armed robbery This is such a crock. Taxes are the agreed upon payment for services rendered, the EULA for which you agreed to by being in the country.

Well that's fine, but we're not comparing personal opinions. This tangent was brought to us by smokeyj's ramblings about the injustice of governments doing bad things with unequal punishment, and edias explaining why he'

Those cornercases can exist on sites that don't have a robots.txt and still have to be crawled correctly.

Dismissing or deriding a project because it is not completely novel is unhelpful. Since 'retroshare' hasn't taken the world by storm, maybe that wheel needs to be reinvented.

I bet they called it the 'deep' web, which is what it has been called for years. Otherwise they were just wrong. That being said, caring that the name might 'sound negative' seems ridiculous. Anyone who wants to rely on

Clearing your cache would make Chrome behave more slowly, because it has to fetch those things over the network again.

No more so than writing a kernel in C moves the interesting bits into the compiler. LISP OS's have been made before, and there is no reason one couldn't be written again that looks UNIX-like. The networking stack, device drivers,

Yes, in this case, it was the Lavabit service. But tools to allow for private communication already exist, and in those cases, the 5th amendment protects the parties involved, with no service provider able to provide the police useful dat

We should prosecute crimes the way we always have: presumed innocence until proven otherwise with evidence. A right to be able to communicate privately doesn't make Plain Old Telephone calls not be easily traced, or make the police use

His argument is clearly that people have a right to privacy. It says so in his next sentence. The 'no, sorry' is him discarding the emotional plea that often justifies invading a person's privacy in the first place ("ple

Bitcoin can already do third-party arbitration and Bitcoin addresses (and/or GPG) can already track identity. How does Namecoin help?

That was a long-winded, meandering way to say 1. Transaction scripts in place of 100% human arbitrage. Reasonable feature. 2. hand-wavy name coin reputation thingy. This idea makes no sense. 3. Being federated would be 'neat', des

well, sshd denying requests isn't a performance cost, in itself. But having a script like denyhosts or fail2ban that analyzes auth logs for IPs to block requires memory for the interpreter running the script, as well as however much of
