A huge amount of debt is always a threat to prosperity (both personal and national). The fact that so many people seem to think it is "no big deal" is part of the problem (on both a personal and national level).

Only if you are measuring against GDP. Even adjusting for the value of a dollar in 1950, the $260 billion owed was equivalent only to about 3.5 trillion dollars. Nothing to sneeze at, but nowhere near 19 trillion.

Well, when many programmers look up something in a reference, they are looking for details about the API (functions/modules/variables/etc), not necessarily a tutorial on how to use those things. Examples can be good, but usu

And the US wasn't 19 Trillion dollars in debt either.

I realize this only applies to the US, since we have the 5th amendment, but watch the video (as mentioned above) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc There are very good reasons to have something like our 5th am

No, forced abortions and drowning of infants is the result of a godless culture that does not believe in the sanctity of a human life. If you can accept these as being OK because they are occurring in a different culture, then my only respo

"running in a primary with a bunch of weak other candidates" ^ I think your political bias is showing through. In my opinion this is one of the strongest sets of candidates for the Republican primary in a long time. And I am far

I'm actually glad this complaint was made. But only because I was unaware that you could change the scroll direction on a Mac. I will definitely be making that "overcustomization" on my Mac. :-D

I really don't think Larry meant that to be condescending. The "worst" I could imagine is that he was poking a little fun at Ruby programmers. I'm sure he was just trying to be funny, but sometimes it's easy to mis

Really? I don't see it that way at all. I mean, it's not that much different than all the new changes to C++ in the last 10 years (compared to the C++ from 10 years ago). Yeah, there are a bunch of new things, but it still looks P

Yeah, if memory serves you have to have a registered trademark (the kind that gives you the circled "R") to have any real protection. I think the plain TM might help you if it is published on paper (like in some well-known dated

Don't feel too bad. I didn't know until reading this that sending the output from ls somewhere other than stdout would cause the output to be one-item-per-line either, and I've been using Unix and Linux platforms for a very

For the benefit of any who are not sure what you are talking about, could you please elaborate on what some of these "better ways to handle that" are? It would make your comment much more helpful, IMHO.

Wow, I'd actually forgotten that. I can still see that old VIC-20: 3583 BYTES FREE READY.

I'm enjoying not reading all of the article. OK, I admit I read most of it, but I really am enjoying not finishing it. :-D

No, indeed I do hope that security is the primary thing they are concerned about. But it is possible they have other motivations (like control). I hope that is not the case, but I think it would be foolish to not even consider the possib

I agree. One possible workaround would be to provide a way to add keys from which you would accept extensions. Then as part of the extension development process, you could sign your extension with your key when you are ready to install it.

Are you referring to iceweasel? Or are you referring to an unbranded build provided by Mozilla? I honestly don't remember any other browsers that have the Mozilla branding removed, but I haven't really tried to find any.

"we will require all extensions to be validated and signed by Mozilla starting in Firefox 41" I hope there is an "opt out" option to this for people who know what they are doing. I understand the reasoning behind it, bu

Actually, I wouldn't say the article rules out foul play at all. It simply states that the police found no evidence of foul play. People can be killed in ways that are difficult to trace, especially before there is the benefit of auto

Um, pardon my ignorance or lack of perception, but exactly what risk are you talking about? Does it have something to do with where the haircut is being performed? Are you referring to sanitation issues or something? I'm obviously not

See my most recent reply to infogulch. I thought it was obvious from my response that I did know that I was talking about a different thing. In fact I was intentionally pointing out that I was thinking of a different thing. My point wa
