Many folks still vote along traditional party lines even when you have 3 or more viable parties, as is the case in most of Europe. Tribalism is rather persistent.

There is no single optimum, however there is value beyond merely surviving. Our quality of life is better than it was in the past, so why would anyone be happy at the prospect of that going down due to climate change?

It can still be regulated/blocked by the countries people live in, just like with the Pirate Bay. The only recourse is wireless transmission, like the old pirate radio ships, but given the state of satellite technology that model would not

Politics is the whole purpose of the leak. To take it out of the equation is to remove the point of argument.

Well, that's it - assuming the likely scenario that nobody Wikileaks has named has come to harm, you don't really have a story. Even if you had a story, it still doesn't stop the FUD if it suits the news outlet's agenda. That much is obviou

If they're unique it means you can determine x, y from the result of x^2 + y^2.

It's a very awkwardly phrased recursion problem. The point is to find a unique x, y where x <= y. The algorithm starts with the set of all possible (x, y) pairs, and switches between the Bob and Alice stages. In Bob's stage, eliminate p

This is what gets me; nobody gets C and C# confused. Why Go and Go! ?

Persist it in memory, you only need periodical writes for something like that. We're not running on a $5 powweb account here.

You can't understand the final result in isolation. Out of all men with two children, the probability that they will have two daughters is 1/4, the probability that they will have two sons is 1/4. This leaves heterogeneous offspring occurri

Right, but how do you do disk imaging (for example) if the OS doesn't give you access to the entire drive? The OS could say "OK, you can modify any drive's boot area but the one I'm on", but that doesn't help if you're booting from another

I expect the same reasons apply to people who live comfortably (or at least have a roof over their heads) and choose/refuse to take that high-earning job on the other side of the country.

Exactly - how else would you install Grub otherwise? :)

How many people look at the 'https' part rather than the padlocks or large green bars telling you it's secure? I can count the number of those people on one hand.

Excuse me if I'm being dense; obviously it is unnecessary, but what's the drawback of banning a Tor exit node that disallows access to your IP? It just seems far easier to ban them all.

Not only that, but operators which are hardly unique to that language (hello Perl).

In the UK, the Data Protection Act does give users control of their data. Unfortunately it isn't much comfort when so much of Web 2.0 lives in the US.

The good PR comes from harnessing somebody's enthusiasm for the product (how many people have you ever seen bother to make this kind of contact?) rather than turning them towards the 'Buy' page and ending it there. The guy could easily have

Not installing Wordpress in the first place is more efficient, but your checklist illustrates there's no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I imagine the best way is to get the source of Firefox or Chromium and have a go at implementing it yourself. Things move quicker when there's code for people to look at and improve.

Google's Chrome is currently a fringe browser and one that was never the subject of antitrust lawsuits. There's an unfortunate disparity between the two situations; understandable, but still a pain in the ass for webdevs.

A fool and his money are easily parted. If you do no work to find out if something is a good investment, you are that fool.

You can be thick-skinned without being totally oblivious. Offensive ad hominems further no debate, and they aren't even a skilful way of showing emotion. I wouldn't put up with it if that's all I got. However, some people can't take it wh

I thought the point isn't that twitter is censoring tweets with the word 'flotilla', but that it's not appearing as a trending topic. However, both #freedomflotilla and 'Gaza flotilla' are trending right now.

Right, but it's still finite to some degree, and selling people on growth which we cannot guarantee is possible is just plain irresponsible IMO.

The video also makes the point that people are ignorant of the exponential function's effect, believing that constant growth is possible, when it clearly is not. The Dr. also mentions that 0% growth is inevitable, so that is covered - but I
