Out of curiosity, and this may be a little too personal, but do you have any dependents at all? For me, at least, the upside is that when I die my wife and kids are going to be well and truly debt free. On the other hand, if we were already

And McDonalds is in the business of real estate, not making burgers. All I'm saying is that just because they do something day in and day out doesn't make that their business. To be honest I think doing this to get BTC to sell is

I agree that the football analogy is weak. As an outsider looking in, it seems as though the 'secret plays' are secret just because that's the way it's become... not because it's the only way. I mean, you just have

I don't see it as 'expecting remuneration to continue', so much as I see it as simply paying for insurance of income. Life insurance is essentially the same thing, as far as I'm concerned: I'm paying now so that if

Totally agree. And to be honest, I've been wondering if there's going to be a moment when certain celebrities and Hollywood 'types' start getting 'caught' in the data that has been found... in some sort of new

Every time I see these sorts of sites, I just pine even more for the return of ioptout.ca... Either way, good job!

I don't really have a comment one way or another about what you said here, however... comparing UI violations to something that reminds someone that they're not 'one of the cool kids' that knows the 'secret code to

Except for when they do it without you even knowing your sending information to them. If you haven't heard of shadow profiles, then now is the time to learn about them. And don't get me wrong, I understand that I can do stuff to s

I read once that the level of energy you feel from caffeine is actually your normal energy level, and that the 'boost' you feel is actually the caffeine dragging you out of a low. Or something like that. And I can only presume thi

Could it be that the donation addresses keep changing? I imagine if I was pushing for BTC donations, I'd change my address every time I received one...

I was under the belief that it looked for nodes with things like high bandwidth, low latency and no problems with firewalls and such. And even then, it's not like they didn't have a clump of machines 'always on' as super

That's not the site I was thinking of, but to be honest, it seems to pull off the concept a lot better than the one I remember :) Thanks!

At some point in the distant past, there used to be a site that had a huge matrix of licenses, that allowed you to look across one axis for one license, down the other axis for a different license and then basically read the consequences of

I'd love to hear the thoughts of anyone who has used / looked at this before... I'm a bit shell shocked I think regarding trying to 'encrypt my life' so I'm finding it hard to trust anything!

Totally agree. We give a company the 'right to copy', in exchange for them improving culture. If they don't provide decent subtitles, then in that particular area of culture, they have failed. So why do they deserve to keep

So this is a completely noob question, but anyway... how easy, I wonder, would it be to take the 'interface' to the backend there and export it in such a way that it could be 'imported' into a Monotouch or maybe Phone Ga

How does taking advantage of standards-compliant layouts requiring breaking the past? I mean, if they're truly standards-compliant layouts, then they shouldn't be doing anything that requires that old stuff, and therefore they sho

If they were paying taxes in the US then maybe they could feel a little annoyed that the US might cause them business troubles elsewhere. Instead, they're in that awful predicament where the senators they pay are screwing them, but the

That's amazing. Another quick search shows up to about $17,000 a year in Canada and as far as I can tell the loans are part government, part private (though rates etc. are set by the government). From all of that, then, while I can&#x2

So just upfront, I don't know what the 'average' cost of university is in North America. Having said that, people this way tend to argue about the cost of tertiary education a lot more than in Australia, for example, so I pre

For anyone else that's about to fire up a search... MRI: "Matz's Ruby Interpreter or Ruby MRI (also called CRuby) is the reference implementation of the Ruby programming language." (with thanks to Wikipedia).

"It wouldn't surprise me if, on paper at least, being compelled by the government to pass out of the area not requiring a visa was not an immigration offense." So I'm not entirely sure how this squares up with my anecdot

Open Source has a fairly well accepted definition that comes from the Open Source Initiative. If Microsoft could call Windows 'Open Source' I have no doubt they would. Instead, they call it Shared Source (through their Shared Sour

Sorry. I guess I presumed that your very first statement of "Snowden didn't circumvent anything" meant that he had nothing interesting in the first place. Which implies that he has nothing to release even if he wanted to. So

While I'd love to be able to afford to live in Paris (that place is unbelievable), so long as this 'rush back to the city' is because the rich are sick of the beaches, I'll be just as happy!

Rolling dangerously into off-topicness here, but at the moment in Canada it's one of the traditionally minor parties that is currently the Opposition party. That is to say, the traditional 'two parties' are no longer. All I&#
