So, how are companies supposed to keep customer data safe from hackers without encryption exactly? This kind of thing can only make the people of the UK less safe, more at risk, and more likely to be hacked and otherwise digitally abused. I

As long as nobody's putting in more than they intend to lose, it's at least a very pretty way to fund a bunch of distributed app code being written I guess. And if they all take what's left of their money out again, the code

So, a sort of Distributed Digital Democratic Dragon's Den then. I suspect the contestants will make more money than the Distibuted-Dragons.

"Who Owns It" seems to be a company owned by a company floated on the stock markets. But with excellent community input. That company is apparently actually making money selling at-least-mostly-free software, while supporting the

That does sound pretty cool. Who owns Suse again? Do they have a social contract? How's their democratic decision making? Do they properly separate non-free software from their free packages? - Debian User.

I have Blather configured to do various key-presses and so control pentadactyl and so control firefox. It could be set up to provide whatever signals a button can provide. http://www.jezra.net/projects/blather

From Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy: It was an Ident-i-Eeze, and was a very naughty and silly thing for Harl to have lying around in his wallet, though it was perfectly understandable. There were so many different ways in which you were req

A co-op isn't supposed to be a neutral party, it's supposed to represent the workers (and possibly, the customers, depending what type of co-op). The reason I would support a co-op version of Uber over the actual Uber is exactly b

The cells persist, but the atoms that make up those cells are still replaced over time.

Yep, that's the closest I've got to a plan at the moment: build enough audience to run a kickstarter of some sort.

Art does indeed have value. Strangely, to me at least, art which can be freely and easily reproduced has more value than art which can't. All other things being equal. An art-work can more easily influence a culture if it's as w

If I found that my company laptop and my main computer were the same, I for one would buy myself a personal computer! Home-work requires a home-office. At least a bedroom with a desk you don't mind never-leaving. I live alone, so it&#x

But part of the advantage of remote-work is that you can be in two or more conversations at once, that you can be in two or more 'places' at once. No? Seems odd to use a location metaphor, when online you can be in more than one p

Heh, it looks like a game. Gauntlet or something. Strange model to deliberately capture the office layout even. It looks so much like a game of "Cluedo" I'd be tempted to try a murder to see how it worked. "It was Thad,

Searched Youtube for a demo. This was what I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB-Qjaa2vjQ "Unlike the web, we're centralized so we control how much value we capture, much like twitter" I shuddered. Trut

I can't imagine how you'd do pair-programming remotely, certainly. Some kind of shared-screen skype-call? Two sessions into a remote-desktop? Collaboration over the wire is slower than collaboration in person and less enthusing, b

I work remotely, and don't really understand why it's hard to shut down the work-laptop after you finish work and not open it again till you start work the next day. When your local employee commutes to the office, I open the lid

Ahha, you can change the filtering. Hadn't noticed that. Thanks :)

Indeed, I want small but with lots of pixels, was briefly excited that there might be an easy way to find that when the time comes, then disappointed that it appears not.

Yeah, I think that too. Random train-strangers aren't going to be as interesting as my book I wouldn't think. But then the article reckoned everyone in their experiment also thought that, and yet turned out to be wrong, their pred

I've had better success using Blender to make the things in 3d then pixilating 'em after. But "better" is still relative. You probably wanna hire an artist.

Indeed, it makes them read very potty-mouthed! "Personal A##istant search engine" is way ruder than a personal assistant.

So are we supposed to take a holiday from programming on programmers day, or double our efforts and do more programming? Or just drink a lot after work?

After the tube-bombings in London a friend's mom offered to buy him a car so he didn't have to get the tube and risk being blown up. Ha. He refused (mostly to spare her the cost I think) while pointing out that would have been a g

It's gonna depend on what filters you're subscribed to I imagine. The anti-social list that blocks facebook spying etc. seems to break pages most out of the lists I sub to.
