   This was my thought as well. I have no idea why a special term is ascribed to physicists for just thinking logically.

   It's not about notoriety. It's simply the physics of interacting with the public. If you don't like the results you need to change the physics to private. There is nothing that can guarantee your anonymity or pseudonymity

   If you are running a blog presented to the public for public access, what do you expect? Yes, you are indeed trying to become a public figure. You are interacting with the public on public terms. Otherwise you would restrict the blog to

   There is a significant difference in the relationship between parent-to-child and The State-to-Citizen. Children mature and achieve autonomy from parental control and can escape violence if present. When am I ever allowed my autonomy from

   How is "distress" not the correct term? It is defined as extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain which can be caused by any of the factors you described as well as many more you are not even aware of. It is an emotional state that is p

   No, it's correct. I've been involved in several incidents where the police asked if I wanted to "press charges" against the offender. For minor incidents this greatly reduces caseload while giving me the opportunity to

   WebRTC negotiates a peer-to-peer protocol which operates like client/server but has issues with NAT/PAT and firewall traversal. Each peer will realistically only know about its local network and there will also likely be limitati

    I remember when IRC clients and scripts didn't check the given port number (or ip address) when asked to initiate a DCC (Direct Client-to-Client) connection and you could exploit this by sending connection requests to a set of Microsof

    No, but I think it will take a little re-imagining of what a "browser" should be. In my own opinion I find it very odd that we are using what is effectively a static publishing model to do so many dynamic activities. Modulo all

    I watched a video today of a 75-year old man being shoved by police for something that I can in no way defend. He fell backwards and blood started leaking from his head while he fell unconscious. No officer even attempted to render aid. I

    Yes. When you see articles about companies raising money through the secondary market or by issuing stock, that is exactly what is happening. An IPO is just the initial offering of stock onto the secondary market. After that the company

    Fractional shares are common when using DRIPs (Dividend ReInvestment Plans) which basically just use all dividend proceeds to purchase more shares instead of paying out in cash. Since then entire amount is used, you always get a fractional

    This is very much a personal thing and the article is only showing one end of the spectrum. While I have issues staying up past 48 hours and my longest ever stint was 56 or so, I can go for 36 hours easily without any real dramatic adverse

    I very much agree with this. I had never heard of Sulla or Marius until reading Sallust and that seems very odd considering Caesar's involvement with both. Not to mention that Caesar emulated Sulla's march on Rome. The entire p

    As I understand it the current model of the beginning of the universe starts with inflation and "the big bang" is the period that immediately follows. The two are distinct because the inflationary period is described as happening

    0-based indexing has the advantage of easily mapping to memory addresses since the index is an offset from a base address (perhaps multiplied by a unitary per-item length). I personally prefer this since I tend to think about and work with

    This was a long time ago before terminal emulators had themes and I also did a lot of work on actual terminals (monochrome hardware) and the console (black background with gray text). Even my current emulator doesn't support "the

    I turned most colors off many years ago. For me it was because several tools (especially ls) used colors that were very hard to distinguish with my terminal background. I found myself spending too much time trying to figure out what was o
