If you have to write who wrote a piece of code in a comment, you must not be using a decent version control system with a blame command. Which is a problem you should probably fix way before talking about comment styles.

I'm sure that there have been no instances where someone with a home threatened a police officer, or got into a fight. It's only those dirty homeless people who do that. There may be higher levels of violence, but two incidents do

Yes, in todays technological society, people who understand technology have advantages. I don't see why that is surprising, given the website you're commenting on. Ultimately this is not about technology, it's about economics

I find it really useful for two specific actions: Setting a timer whilst cooking, and setting reminders. "Remind me to renew my insurance next monday at lunch time" takes a lot less time that manually entering a date, time and tas

An argument could be made that this is essentially a keylogger. Fine, a _selective_ keylogger, but still. Whilst this looks useful, it's questionable if it's ethical and furthermore it may even be illegal in certain juristrictions with stro

I think you are missing the point - the article proves (unless the author is flat out lying) that text chat through skype, which is claimed to be end-to-end encrypted, is not, as requests are being made to the URL. It may currently be for i

As mentioned above, I spoke to them at their hack day in London at the beginning of April, and they said they expected to solve this in 1-3 months. So hopefully within the next 6 weeks if we're optimistic!

It's likely far cheaper to store it than it would be to run the test again. This is Google, they can certainly afford it – I'd be incredibly surprised if they weren't storing it.

I see what you're saying, and it is a fair attitude. The problem is that I think others disagree on your definition of civility; for example I am of the opinion that the post was perfectly civil, and I think others would tend to agree. You
