Looks a like an article written by someone who doesn't know anything about Internet security. It's a good thing to bring to the attention of people problems with the site. This is a useful criticism: "Information sent to and

If there isn't, there really should be. Traditional University education does a really poor job of preparing people for IT as well, further exaggerating the need for it. I think some of the trade school programs have OK curriculum, b

There seems to be a theme that when people criticize Computer Science fold, they like to mention that they aren't really knowledgeable in Networking concepts or other concepts that fit quite nicely into the land of 'Systems Admini

This is fair, but paying for their expenses this way is not the way to do it. It's going to kill them in the end, and at best, is going to produce at best, some short term profit while it's community bleeds away. I seriously thi

My favorite part is how they are trying to rationalize their semi-recent decisions to monetize their platform, while meanwhile on planet Github...

I really disagree with quite a lot in this article. I mean, for starters, if he (or anyone else) thinks that the plains of support are somehow greener on the other side, I got some bad news for you. Hardware compatibility is a game of give

> "Open mouth smiley" But this is ambiguous. That could be ':D' or '=D'. As for the coding example, I cannot imagine that ending well. I mean, it's full of little oddities that don't exist in spo

I cannot, even in a world of total science fiction, think of anything short of straight up mental entry that could totally replace a keyboard. Even in a world where dictation is perfect, do you really want to be saying 'Colon, Dee&#x27

I kind of disagree with this. A lot of the problem of 'should I have my kid learn an instrument' stems from the lack of quantitative data surrounding the practice. Sure, kids that play instruments tend to do better in math or wha

Windows 7 is orders of magnitude easier to manage. A lot of the improvements under the hood the consumer didn't see or notice. One that they might have noticed is the ability for the OS to find proper drivers for pretty much any consu

That's not really true. C# and Java do look the same, but the use cases for them are totally and completely different. Java is a cross-platform language used when you don't want to write code more than once for more than 1 platfor

My big hang up is that it's not used much outside of the Cocoa environment. Beyond that, I'm a really big fan of putting C in the hands of people who want to learn to program on the grounds that it forces you to develop good habit

Actually do something. I talked about writing code more than I wrote code and that was a dumb mistake. Also, if I could do it all over again, I'd make it a point to really work with C/C++. I feel like moving to any other imperat

I don't work in design. I do a combination of software development (and often get UI design input from my colleagues) and sys and network administration, but while I'm not good at handling situations like this, the owner of our c

I'm inclined to agree with Justin here. I mean, he's absolutely right in that if you have physical access, or if you have OS account access to a computer, it really doesn't matter what you do, your shit isn't safe any mo

I'd vote for Scheme. It's so compact, that when larger blocks work, it's almost magical. It's really a wonder to see a great Scheme/LISP hacker do their magic.

While my view isn't exactly unbiased since I do work primarily in the land of .Net, I feel like the world has the tools to move past it. It no longer seems to do anything 'the best' and unless you really need cross-platform

A lot of Tor is filed deeply in 'Internet Black Magic™" for me, but my understanding of it is such that if someone who wants to identify you happens to have access to the exit node you are connected to, you can be identified. That
