No, in fact my original post said I am all for multi-tasking. I do not understand the knee-jerk reactions agains prioritization, however. I guess I am just of the mind that if your country has the world's highest rates of rape, murder,

You're right of course. I was referring to the rare countries in Africa that social, economic, and health issues. My apologies.

I am all for multi-tasking, but you would really think that Africa would have bigger fish to fry right now, without worrying about censoring the Internet.

No injustice is being done. People today really surprise me. Just a few decades ago, if something bad happened to you, well it just sucked -- but that was it. Today if anything happens to you (you get offended, shocked, left out, fired, evi

How the hell are these people using the Dark Net to buy drugs, then not using Tor or a vpn when checking websites to track their drugs?

Well it is not totally unrelated, and I think it bears repeating, due to shear audaciousness, if nothing else. It would be the equivalent of Obama publicly stating on TV that Americans have been "getting a bit too uppity with the free

I suspect a lot of this would be more difficult now. I had minor surgery not long ago and (while I was still conscious) everyone in the room (including me) had to agree what was about to happen, sound off about their part in it, and confirm

I've read the "about" and "services and benefits" pages, and still don't get it. Why would anyone (from the US, for example) be interested in this?

As someone who has "been under" a few times, I am torn on this. I like the idea of less errors due to a computer, but there is something comforting about knowing that a human expert is "at the wheel". I know it is irrati

Very nice! I was unaware that such a feature-rich editor for Lua existed. Thank you!

I suspect that it is because law service advocates (and most professional groups) fiercely protect themselves through licensing and watch-groups (normally "boards"). If you would like to prove this to yourself pull up your state (

I really like that some of the over-reaction after 9-11 is starting to be reeled back in defense of personal privacy. The fact that the paternalistic "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about!" was

Microsoft has been on a real tear lately. I am very impressed with the directions they are taking.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that educational toys should be in a specific gender category. On the other hand, the number of tween-age boys into American Girl dolls has to low. I don't think "forcing" your customer

I have used the gender filter on many occasions to give me ideas or help discover toys my boys might like. Christmas and birthdays are brutal trying to find something engaging and fun for fast-growing kids with changing tastes. So it sucks

Agreed, something has to be wonky with his(her?) Kyoto Cabinet configuration or drivers. I have always had blazing results with KC and this is showing it as being the slowest in every test.

I don't have a problem with companies that have a work-for-hire clause, but I do get a little jumpy around ones that have an "anything you do, even at home, still belongs to us" clause.

There has also been a big push to only count "recent" scientific literature as valid for reference in some scientific fields. I know that this helps keep any new papers "fresh", but I have always had a bitter aftertaste

The ability to "negative vote", really should be a thing. Since the US system, in particular, is set up in a way that makes change unrealistic for the "common folk" it would be the only way I can think of for poor people

Investors, as well, have been forcing startups to feed the patent beast. Gotta keep your tech "defensible" after all!

In this particular case, even moreso. It wants Javascript to to do the job of CSS and how!

This is really very nice! For me, seem like it might scratch an itch, on which I have had to rely on RStudio (which is also awesome for iterative exploration and display, but a "heavy" context switch if R is not your favorite lang

"The Drunkard's Walk" and "Fooled by Randomness". TDW, in particular, kind of "tricks" you into learning statistics, in order to read the book.
