   Honestly, my gmail gets a lot more spam (and I mean into my Inbox ) than the self-hosted email that I actually use (I rarely touch my gmail). Also they seem to engage in very spammer-friendly activities such as notifying spammers if and

   I'm wondering this too. Could it pick up on an electrical potential from the eye itself? Or could the reading be gathered with only as much of a signal as an RFID tag gets?

   Let's face it -- people have a strong preference for whatever system they are used to. There's extremely strong inertia, and efforts to try and justify one system over the other are not especially effective.

    Github could provide their users access to those logs. And if convenient log analyzers do not exist in 2014, that sounds like a great project to put on.... Github.

    IMO different language versions of a site should not be based on TLD, but rather a subdomain: us.apple.com, ru.apple.com

    Sure, but go the extra step: Drop the mandatory :, make just "ls" run ls. Then you need a syntax to get at the programming language, not the other way around. That's all that's happening here. shok could have put ruby

    Thanks for the links, I will look closer at these shells. Are there any specific ideas that you think they do well?

    I think a shell is where running programs is the default, and writing code is secondary. In shok, the code is a DSL for filesystem and job management. I think that's quite a different type of thing than general-purpose scripting lang

    So the answer is /yes/. Everyone you index has to know about you, and go to your website in order to opt them out of receiving emails they never asked to receive in the first place? That means it's spam.
