So 6 chars was a cut-off? Not sure if I should count myself lucky as mine is 6 chars and I get unbelievable amounts of crap because of it.

Or since I will be ignored just don't run Javascript by default.

As I am one of these people at least for me it is not surprise as much as disappointment as it is often so unnecessary as it is really not that difficult to build a page that can be displayed without Javascript in browser EVEN if it is buil

Grew up in Yugoslavia and live now in Slovenia. We had fire drills (maybe about 3 during all years of my schooling), but never and still don't for shootings as they don't happen.

First, please do not pretend that you know me. I have neither a problem with financial engineering in principle (combined with software engineering or not) or cryptography as such and certainly would not describe myself as any sort of puris

Yes, lets. From Crank it up article[1]: "In 1995, from Q1 to Q4, Netscape's revenue went from $5 million to $10 million to $20 million to $40 million." Netscape was formed in April of 1994 so we are talking about 9 months aft

And here I was thinking I have been a professional developer for last 2 decades. But since I only touched Outlook at the very beginning of my career and still use webmail rarely, I guess I was only fooling myself ;)

Sure, but that doesn't solve the original problem which is that you picked small population countries with number of shootings too low to do meaningful statistical analysis your way because any rare event will have an outsized effect.
252.
by samastur 9y ago
When number of shootings is 1, you are not actually doing useful statistics. It can easily be an aberration.

One more word: Windows. FreeDOS was released when it didn't matter much any more as action moved up the stack (and soon enough off DOS).

They did it for me (Slovenia, UK) and I've never bought AppleCare in my life. In my case they even once made an exception to cover my defect when I was two weeks late after deadline to report it. Edit: I think I misunderstood your comm

Correct. It is very similar in Slovenia and it is enforced.

I would be more willing to believe this if among many other things bitcoin price didn't rise so much. As it is, it is clearly mostly bought and not "traded" which suggest it is used as a store of value (or investment) and not

Twitter already uses automation with false positives. For example get enough followers in short enough amount of time and your account can be taken offline. One of popular ways to using bots as attack weapon these days. No false positives s

Last released Google version does not work on macOS Sierra (tried and failed). If they fix nothing else but support for all recent versions it will be a step forward.

Our culture treats intoxicated women as "asking for it" and not victimized. It is a huge part of a problem and why more of them don't report. But to answer your questions, which I believe are made in good faith, here is my vi

Not sure I would describe such people as good. Obviously not bad either since they can keep themselves in check otherwise, but goodness shouldn't be a description of you only under normal/advantageous circumstances.

Why 10 years ago? I wrote this in 2014: http://markos.gaivo.net/articles/chirp-squawk-cackle-or-honk... However I effectively stopped using Twitter in 2011 for these same reasons and have been arguing about dangers of

They aren't. I, as many other people I read, have been arguing about SM threat for years, but unlike newspapers I like most people have a very very limited reach. Just because our reach is too short for you to notice it does not mean w

World Economic Forum is in January. Google was founded in September of 1998. It is difficult to imagine it had executives that would be invited to WEF at that time and certainly nobody feared it yet. I am actually old enough to remember usi

Another difference is that most of those 20k people did not ask to hear this song while every (well, more or less) streamer has.

What happens if you are not the one who initiated the patent war? My reading of the license is that you lose Facebook patent grant even if your lawsuit was a response to Facebook's. I am not a fan of (software) patents, but license res
