No, you won't be safe, but you won't accidentally log into your gmail account from Linkedin. This is specifically about Linkedin, because it's asking for your gmail credentials and if in a hurry, as I often am and don't go to linkedin that

Mostly the random invites I get are from recruiters or the like, who want a big list of people to try and recruit/spam.

Rule 1: Make sure your linkedin password is not the same as your gmail password. I've tried to login to linkedin a couple of times in too much of a hurry, thinking I was logging into linkedin from some request and not reading the actual pa

This is like an audiophile review. "I didn't actually measure anything, but X sure felt better than Y!" I just upgraded to the Nexus 4 from a G2, I kind of like the G2 size and keyboard better, but apparently physical keyboard aficionados

Let's not forget one of the main reasons to buy something not on sale: Size. If you are average size (like me), you often end up buying stuff not on sale, because the sale rack is stuffed with 44W32L pants. If I put on about 75 lbs. it'd

Bob's Red Mill is now employee owned, and I think maybe SAS shoes? When I worked at 7-11 they had a profit sharing program you could participate in if you worked there long enough (a year I think), although that was years ago they might no

I freely admit I know little of Marx's work other than what other say, I will have to read it at some point. I used to be the same way about Smith until I read Wealth of Nations Volume 1-3. Overall I found Smith's writing to not reflect th

You should get more upvotes. Reading the Wealth of Nations gave me a new found appreciation for Capitalism. At the beginning, the ability to profit from improvements was the motivating factor, and helped to achieve some of the freedom peop

I disagree that it's very political, I don't think it would be any better to designate the CA as Oracle, IBM or 37signals. If Red Hat wants to rely on msft as their CA, fine, but don't try and bring it to the kernel. I don't think running

For the average linux user, key signing isn't really a big deal, imho. Running as a user and protecting root without running unnecessary services is your first step, after that it's all kind of iffy. Signing something from an untrusted sou

When I worked on embedded systems, we didn't use malloc() at all, just some heap functions. Even after that, there have been times where I worked on projects where there was a single malloc() and that was turned into a memory heap. However

All NP problems can be converted into the other NP problems, therefore if you can prove it for one NP problem, you prove it for all NP problems.

That's right, REAL gamers only want ascii characters and play games that have development trees that stretch 10-30 years back! Oh wait, you meant something else, didn't you? Get off my lawn, kid! (I own a Wii and a bunch of games for it, it

It's not clear to me iPhone/iPad/iPod won't come back at some point. The news that Foxconn has started replacing workers with machinery means the labor cost portion of manufacturing is going to go down, regardless of geographical location.

Depending on what you need you could buy a Chromebook for $200-250. I was considering getting one, and then installing linux on an SD card (assuming this works on the Samsung Chromebook, have only vaguely looked into it). If you are into g

I think it's mostly the first one. I've met a lot of people with huge egos who think they are above the problems, and so far there is enough work. Someday, though, that might change, who knows when, though.

This is why I don't like to use shared memory. It's not easy to do this for a variety of reasons. At a low level, to try and make this work, you need to do more than worry about a mutex. You need the cpu's cache to be out the way, the mem

We don't know whether we will be able to make that claim or not. It's unclear how many vendors will port their software to the ARM version of Windows at this point. Even if they do, I suspect it will be more like 6-8 months, since a lot o
