The terms 'nigger' and 'honky' are inherently discriminatory because they are frequently used to describe membership of an entire group of people. They're not looking at individuals based on their own character, but judging them based on th

> it's sexist (makes some women feel uncomfortable in a situation because of their gender). We have a different definition of sexism. If a person feels uncomfortable, it does not necessarily mean they are being discriminated against.

My standard for sexism is: would it be OK to do it if the situations were reversed? So imagine a woman on stage, picture of some dude with a blot over his face and 'BASTARD' written on it. - Sexist? Not sure it would indicate the speaker ha

6 is in beta now. Nightlies were 7.0a a few days ago, but if you update.... yep, 8.0a1 PS. Nightly has been incredibly stable on my Mac. I actually use it in production, for no other reason than I was testing it and have no reason to get an

OK, but unless you have evidence that Red Hat have specifically broken their release policy that won't happen in the middle of a major release, so that's no reason to lag behind on updates.

I'm going to flat disagree that windowing systems and window UI elements are separate fields of endeavor, in the same way that laundry detergent and computer Operating Systems are. I think most lawyers would too.

Are you saying that RHEL break PHP by upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3? That would be very strange, RHEL's reknowned for very strict binary compatibility and backporting every security fix to whatever they shipped originally. Lagging behind RHEL u

Ahem, 'target' should be 'rather'. Hooray autocorrect.

Windows began as an installable GUI, target than a whole system. It was only in 1995 that it started doing more than windowing.

I love ipython - if you still use log statements to debug things, you should give ipdb (a mashup of pdb and ipython) a go. Just: import ipdb ipdb.set_trace() And you can now inspect and change any part of your code, right in t

I love CoffeeScript but I don't understand this. HTML / HAML / SHPAML are document languages. CoffeeScript is a programming language. An element that contains another element isn't a function. I don't see any reason to make it one. If you w

We use django, but yes, google only officially support webapp and you may end up having to translate docs from appengine entities to django objects.

Reading the article, clearly they're trying to prevent confusion between facebook api apps and facebook. So no. flagged for linkbait title.

Yes, it's not a bug in Vixie Cron (which I think BSD cron may use) but in the Linux distros (who are responsible for adding run-parts). .py, .pl, .sh and (as people realize they'are actually writing bash scripts) .bash are standards people

I can access my friends contact info (including email addresses and phone numbers) as I like, within FB's platform. FB just restricts me from accessing that once I;m not longer connected to it. Indeed, you're right - that's the argument - b

Respectfully, I don't think you actually read my comment in its entirety. You can import email addresses into FB, but you can't get them out, along with a whole bunch of other info. FB UUIDs have zero meaning outside Facebook.

1. You can import your data into Facebook. You can't export - all you get is Facebook UUIDs back. 2. Privacy options are made deliberately difficult as Facebook (as they've stated before) want you to share as much as you can. Setting anythi
