I wish that worked. I'm in an open plan office where I constantly need the headphone to drown out the noise all the other things happening (people talking to each other, marketing people making phone calls, people walking about, etc) s

except, expressing the fact that you're gay in public is seen as promoting it to minors. So for all intents and purposes: being gay without pretending to be straight is illegal.

Classic forgetting the full WHERE-part of a manual UPDATE-query on a production system. The worst part is you know you fucked up the nanosecond you hit enter, but it's already too late. Lesson learned? Avoid doing things manually even

The risk with saying "Yes, if.." is that a lot of managers (or clients or whatever) stop listening after the word "Yes". With "No, unless ...", it's a different story. Then success is dependant on the cond

What's a legitimate site? Plenty of sites most people would call "legitimate" like high profile blogs or ecommerce sites engage in activity that's frowned upon by Google. The fact that some unwanted behaviour was no long

I have one simple question: why? For the children? For the fraction of performers involved in it involuntarily? Because you simply object to it yourself and want to force your morals on others? Because you're just trolling? Oh..

People who may know them have more context and might recognise them, yes. If I'm on a flight from Amsterdam to London and I'm complaining to a friend about my boss, someone livetweeting my hilarious rant might keep me pretty unide

Anonymity can be used to stalk but it can also be a necessity to be able to use the internet WITHOUT being stalked for a lot of people. That's not a bland case.

There's a lot of stuff I don't mind Google knowing about me, but I do mind being publicly connected to my real name.

No, but I might have previously liked or commented on a vlog by another gay or transgender person which is suddenly publicly tied to my regular Google account. Or I might have expressed a political opinion which isn't going to get me p

Easy to say if you're not in a vulnerable position where losing anonymity matters, a lot.

Perhaps the stereotype of Chinese restaurants specifically being untrustworthy/unhealthy/unhygienic (i.e. Chinese chefs don't care about their customers / they're not up to our western standards) isn't universa

Really? Evil bankers exist of lots of ethnicities and faiths but lots of people do (often but not always subconsciously) link greedy bankers and jewish people. Just like using unhealthy or even dangerous additives is often linked to Chinese

No it's not. It'll show a friend commented on something irrelevant in a public group I'm not a member of in the morning and not show the same friend broke up with their fiancee who is also a friend later that day. Removing th

A better analogy would be to say losing all your money due to corrupt and greedy bankers is "Jewish Banker Syndrome". Still not offensive?

DRM is to prevent content being available outside of the official/legal channels in the first place. This is clearly not working, as pretty much everything that's available legally with DRM is also available illegally without it.

It's not so trivial when your phone breaks and you're stuck with an old Nokia for two weeks. I managed to disable iMessage through some weird lost/stolen procedure through Apple support but that required human intervention. i

No but people were suggesting that if they're writing their own VM, they might as well design a better programming language to use on it.

Don't forget the fact that PHP devs are relatively cheap. Especially compared to people capable and willing to learn your brand new homegrown language.

Willingness to try new things and experiment with them (for longer than 90 minutes..) is how you prevent being one of those people who nowadays still only does COBOL. Or Java. Some day Ruby is likely to have a similar status.

Seems like a bunch of really welcome improvements. Wish I hadn't known about them though, as I probably won't be able to use them in our production environment for the next 2 years or so.
