That example will be horribly skewed by the JVM startup time, which is a known problem, but doesn't affect your program once it's started. It's pretty meaningless to compare programs that short, eg. scripts because noone sane

Oh look, a news website reporting on a blogger for a news website and his feud with another news website. And they say Silicon Valley is self-absorbed. :) Talking about mocking Silicon Valley though... http://jesuschristsiliconva

Keeping in mind 80-92% of it is spam, depending on studies (wikipedia numbers from 2010 apparently, if anyone has a more up-to-date source that'd be grand).

Black sharpie then photocopy? Edit: actually, just put a black filter over the sensitive parts while photocopying. That way you don't damage the original and you can send the photocopy over.

This is one of these situations where the first (pg's) choice is rationally better, but has also been shown to result in higher chances of low self-esteem and depression. It's very hard to shake off the feeling of being "among the lowest",

Uh? What's the advantage of this technique over a randomly generated salt?

Indeed, and if you want to stick to the command line... Use `mail` and script away.

That's pretty awesome! (For the sceptics, it indeed does no harm and can be interrupted at will)

I might have overlooked it, but it doesn't seem to say which OS Light Table will run on? I would back it up for Linux, for example, but a Windows version wouldn't be useful for me.

You're going to need way more than that for all their subdomains, CDN, CDN's subdomains, etc. Not to mention having to keep it all up to date in case they roll out a new domain. That said, I use the same technique. :)

Messing with other people's computers in any form without their information and consent is usually prohibited by law. A slightly broken analogy would be breaking into a house to remove a hornets nest. Even if you do it carefully and not d
