Good answer.

Well, there are a few exceptions. I did. The tiny amount I use my cellphone I can't really justify a data plan.

Well, also you can't get another notice within 28 days. And if I recall correctly, you have to get three notices within 9 months. So basically if you manage to spend less than 1/3rd of your time "On Notice" you should be sweet as. DISCLAIME

I feel like the academic qualifications (Bachelors, Masters, PhD, etc) and programming shippable applications are two separate hierarchies. So I'm surprised he didn't know SQL after developing .NET for years, but not that surprised he had a

Thanks for taking the time to explain my comment. I would've gotten to it eventually, but you've done a better job than I would've anyway, so it all works out. :) EDIT: And just so we're on the same page... This is for recovering the plain-

But you're giving them a plain-text password. It doesn't need to actually crack it. This[0] was mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It's a good approximation of what I meant. I realise putting "crack" in air-quotes probably didn't quite conv

This gets problematic with some words, like "herb" where aspiration varies by location.

Do you disagree?

I liked the fact that it complained about HTTP more than the fact that it's encouraging people to type their password into a random online site just 'cause it's by a "legitimate entity", whatever that means. (Recommendations not to use your

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those are both in every password dictionary ever... This site would be much better if it took the time to "crack" the password you submitted.

Vim is usually fairly efficient in what it makes you type, just not always as consistent as I'd like.

Dude. He's right. Vim is clunky, I'll admit it, but it is a text-manipulation language separate from vim script. Vim-the-language looks like this: ci)char* arg<ESC>/func<CR>V}:s/param/arg/g<CR>

I assume we're doing the land grab once we've sorted out all the other important things we've got to do first :)

In fairness, elisp is pretty weird. Doesn't it still use dynamic scope? :P Sincerely, the guy who writes stuff like execute a:method . resolve(expand('%:p:h') . "/" . tolower(a:entry) . ".ext") (Yes, vimscript is insane, too)

Like Python, you mean? In fairness, I'm not expecting python to be a 100-year language either.

One of the bigger tragedies of piracy, in my opinion, is that people get hung up on the pirates and work to reduce piracy, not increase their customer-base. I feel like, especially in this case, the number of people who might buy the game b

I think he means "They should've made it more obvious that the bad gameplay experience was 'cause of piracy, not 'cause it was a terrible game." Irrespective of whether you think pirates should be "punished", a situation where these people

I'm still using firefox because of pentadactyl. It lets you switch to a tab by substring search of title/url. If you have 100 tabs open (I often do too) how do you switch to a specific tab with mouse gestures? (Genuinely curious; seems a sh

Well, I'm glad you have the answer :P I agree with your statement that cameras will be accepted in the future, but I'm not sure it follows that it's a great idea. On the other hand, I'm not even convinced cellphones and facebook are great i

I'd like to add that the material covered is just hard to learn, and fairly mind-bending if you're used to traditional (procedural/OO) programming. Take it slowly, don't be discouraged if it takes you hours to get something concept, and DO

Honestly, Python 2.x's dynamic typing doesn't make the experience of floating-point/integer maths much better. The value of 3 / x changing depending on whether I pass 2 or 2.0 is the trade-off of the Python approach, and I honestly don't kn

Interesting. I prefer the "programming as magick" metaphor, and would say I have a playful mood regarding programming, but I still like static typing. Having said that, I love higher-order functions and macros as well. Defining it as a cont

Public key auth works pretty okay for ssh with a single keypair. I don't see why it wouldn't work for websites too. (As count also mentions) the entire point is that you can prove your identity without giving the entity you're proving to th

I feel like you are perhaps missing the point of and ideology behind the Pirate Party(s). Their focus is much more on personal privacy, government transparency, and sensible copyright reform than it is about "Free movies".

Agreed. As someone who uses Terminus I opened the link and said "What?! That's not what Terminus looks like!"

Maybe we should just create an official internet register of Saints. And no, Saint Ignucius is not allowed on it.
