"PHP is regarded as a clumsy and amateurish technology, best left to development newbies". I am not sure who it is that regards PHP in such a way. No one likes it but it gets the job done in a clumsy and amateurish way. It's the BASIC of

Bah, this article is trash. The Chrome browser is free software which means that this feature will be added into the code, whether it is officially released as Chrome is another matter. I'm fairly certain that the non-Google version, Chro

I'm assuming it's because if they know your data is online they can simply ask you for a password. Also, it looks like probable cause since your computer isn't really usable with no data and without regular programs that the average person

All of those damned governments were Stalinist. That means they believed in a dictatorship of the proliteriat and screw everyone else who doesn't believe in "communism". Stalinism is just one branch of communism and it is such an obvious fa

Yes yes, we know how wonderful capitalism is at producing gadgets and it gives us a great show, but how much is it helping people really? Does union busting and making people work for the bare minimum they need to live make you feel as warm

I was just searching for labour disputes on Google News and someone named Paul Graham put together a Socialist News section heh. When I added it to my sections, it was appropriately coloured red! Thanks Google ;p

Erm, there's another difference too: atheletes and celebrities do not have their money tied to power; bankers do. When was the last time celebrities and atheletes tried to get their friends into positions of power?

Whether the number is 40 000 or 768 is irrelevant, even ONE violation should be too much and should be investigated and treated seriously.

Except that would be another hack for the Web. As I said in another comment here, Ted Nelson's Xanadu project already figured this stuff out, we just have to employ some hacks on the Web to make it work ;/

Some things don't need a business model. They should release the code as free/open source software if they haven't already. Just think of it as a gift to the world and you can rest easy at night :D

Awesome, they just invented a small part of Ted Nelson's Xanadu project. Say what you will about Xanadu being vapour-ware but at least Mr Nelson designed it properly to handle problems like deep-linking and track-backs which the Web has to
