I did't read it that way. By having separate presentations for women the implicit message is one of inequality. Why not just "tech" presentations where men and women are equally welcome? The article, on the other hand, seems

I liked Ubuntu and Unity until I found this release to be so unstable on a Thinkpad T410 that I was forced to look for something else. First I tried Xubuntu but I quickly began to miss many of the niceties of a more featureful desktop envir

That's unfortunate. It seems in retrospect he would have been better of waiting in Hong Kong until he had a promise of asylum elsewhere as well as a safe passage.

I wonder why he left Hong Kong then? Maybe he couldn't live with the writing on the wall telling him eventually the legal system there would probably hand him over.

I've closed websites with nothing but a video on the landing page because I didn't want to wait for a video to load. This landing page, on the other hand, is the best product presentation I've ever seen. It's simple and

But from where does the Supreme Court get the authority to be the ultimate arbitrator on the meaning of the constitution? Surely words have meaning outside of SCOTUS interpretations.

That's a fair point, but how can we verify that Snowden actually endorsed this statement or not? How does Wikileaks have access to him while no other media outlets do?

The idea of rights as creations of man begs the question of how any of our present rights came to exist in the first place, especially considering the sentiments expressed elsewhere in this thread--that is, "might makes right" and

There's no easy way to sell one square foot or one square inch of Manhattan property. First movers will always be at a competitive advantage in nearly any endeavor.

As the article made clear, the regulation already exists in the form of the Forth Amendment. Speaking of tradeoffs between privacy and security seems odd without reference to our prior adoption of the Bill of Rights and without a call for i

Hoarding real estate in Manhattan or Paris only works as long as those assets continue to appreciate in value. Assuming demand for those properties is always increasing, how would you propose to put a curb on their prices? As far as making

This is the world deflationary currencies lead to--referring to the real world where inflationary currencies reign? Seeing how inflation doesn't prevent mis-allocation of resources, I don't see how this example is a good argumen

Did you never hear of the Free Software movement? The closed, or non-free nature of Windows was one of the prime motivators for lots of open source projects. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1

Why wouldn't it affect Chrome if the Root CA is trusted by Chrome? According to http://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/root-ca-polic... they use the underlying OS list except in the case of Linux in w

What if it's the trusted Root CAs who are giving state agencies copies of their signing keys thus allowing them to sign valid certificates to impersonate anyone?

This service is supposed to help protect against man-in-the-middle attacks on SSL certs signed with trusted Root CAs. But it can't protect if the man-in-the-middle attack is against the service itself. In other words, if the trusted Ro

Is that even possible if Google's SSL certs have Extended Validation? They'd have to have cooperation all the way down to the browser vendors and I can't see Mozilla caving that easily.

When I've helped rid people of their virus-infested Windows problem by installing Ubuntu, I rarely heard back from them. It really is easier to use and less error-prone in many respects.

As of version 0.3, it is recommended to run npm as root. This allows npm to change the user identifier to the nobody user prior to running any package build or test commands. [1] npm modules that are used from the command line a

This is the kind of thing I'm more concerned about. npm is configured by default to require sudo/root to install globally. I would rather install as a regular user, like Go packages.
