When people tell me that they love C, I don't get it. C is so tiny that if you're going to write anything non-trivial you either have to re-implement various common data-structures yourself, or find appropriate libraries. No built

I'm tired of having to correct people on this, but here goes: Snowden is not leaking anything anymore. He leaked most of the documents he had to some selected journalists a long time ago and it is now up to them to analyze them and res

My take on the tea leaves is that they now realize that Snowden has been saving the best for last (or later). Snowden is not leaking anything. He leaked most of what he had a long time ago, and now the documents are in the journalis

Doesn't the fact that mobile phones have an extra closed-source baseband OS that can control the phone on a lower level than the secondary OS (Android) make any attempt at securing the secondary OS pointless? I mean, the baseband might

What do you want to learn? Programming or CS? CS is more than just programming, and CS theory is more than just Algorithms & Data Structures. If you want to learn about Algorithms and Data Structures and you have a strong math backgroun

If OP was being anti-Semitic, then it would surprise him that RMS is also of the Jewish persuasion.

I think Google needs to start their own campaign to counter Microsoft's 'Scroogled'. May I suggest 'Microfucked'?

I was prepared to deal with arguments, but all I got instead were downvotes. I've compared Firefox with Chrome on different systems, and my perception of the performance was the same in all cases. Chrome is a memory hog, but it does no

Quick KDE question from a KDE noob: When you open the KDE Menu, is there any way to make it focus the search textbox by default? Or is there a faster way of searching an application or file other than opening the KDE menu?

The look _and_ the performance. I used to be a die-hard Firefox fan. Then I moved to Opera because it was faster. Then I moved to Chrome because Opera was buggy. I tried using Firefox again a while ago and I went right back to Chrome. Overa

What about the reliability of your home Internet connection? Isn't that a major issue? You can have a power outage, ISP problems, or your server might simply die. What happens to the important emails you might miss?

Google is playing a war of attrition by using these annoying messages. They've been doing this for ages on YouTube by trying to force people into using their real names. Fuck this.
