Spreading the Good News means talking about who Jesus is and what he's done[1]. It's what Christians do. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_gospel

Your problems were using GNU extensions, instead of writing in POSIX-standard subset, not knowing what the standard was, and not testing. None of which apply to the grandparent!

"Recent survey of Swiss centenarians found that 83.4% drank at least one large glass of red wine per day, 86.7% included some form of light exercise in their daily routine, and 99.7% were dead."

Your comment talks about the Good News, and does that with respect to the reader. It has hope that people may read it and consider it. And you call him "Christ" Love-hope-faith + evangelizing + acceptance of Jesus for what he clai

For example echolocation (in humans, not bats) is done in visual cortex[1]. Visual cortex shows activity during dreams and imagination. Blind people do use their visual cortex. [1] Sorry, don't have a cite, but there are a lot of resul

"2× more accidents than human drivers" The last time I checked, they didn't have more accidents. They logged more accidents (because, by the nature of being a highly-documented research and PR project, they logged all acc

For example, this could work both practically and legally: Google could lead the industry to implement a protocol, whereby third-party adblockers could implement a subscription service by which the user bids on impressions the same way as a

It's good while it lasts, but being a subsistence farmer has its downsides. Once you get a few bad years in a row, or the government decides that farmers don't really matter so eff them, you will appreciate the profits you've

No `robots.txt` indeed means weapons free, but crawler gleans useful info from it, e.g. which areas of the site are dynamically generated. More likely the site is trying to serve custom versions of `robots.txt` to different bots, with good

They should have negotiated a contract with all the ad networks that have a name, and licensed an adblocker for the rest. They should aggressively support the adblock detection => annoying reminder that has been slowly gaining traction l

Your are sheeple. But that doesn't mean that I am not. People are very painfully reminded of their imperfection on a daily basis. They don't always care to keep it in mind, or take it into account, but surely they are aware. A

I like how on an article about crowd conformity and how certain thoughts may come to be frowned upon, your comment gets downvoted because it's Christian.

Oh, happy memories learning to hack. Phrack articles, while seminal, were not that easy to read, and really hard to learn from. Which resulted in many hours, even days of trial and error and trying to make it work . The original article:

That doesn't work when it's software on your client's computer. Remember when all the web devs revolted and ditched IE6 back in 2001, because MS was just taking the Mickey? Yeah, me neither.

In a sense, yes. I would argue that the cabled infrastructure is not a natural monopoly at this stage of technology development, but the pre-existing regulatory framework and the local municipalities treated it as such. The effect was a mar

The U.S. market is smothered by local monopolies[1] and a global duopoly. Your argument would hold water if the free market has been given chance at all. [1] http://imgur.com/a/8ckIn

There was a certain point about 6 months ago when I got intensely angry at the intrusive ads, and looked for adblockers. I have found a few that claimed to work to varying degrees, but none of them actually blocked all the ads. About three
