Declaring that someone owns property, makes money from property and is part of an "old money" family is not character assassination. Nothing is implicitly wrong with any of that.

I suppose it is possible that a critical mass of people will give up. That seems unlikely to me, too many care for better or worse. The people that care will either remain poorly informed for gradually get more informed and by our electing

> MFC, ATL, and the .NET stuff with the exception of XAML all use win32 controls under the hood. Oh, I wish that were true. I have twice been a test automation engineer and stopped exactly that not being true for all widgets. Some are, b

How long until a critical mass of people forms to allow some more useful form of news to gain economic momentum? Will it ever happen? If not will the economic repercussions leave us with a decent world or some kind of dystopia?

That seemed pretty motivational to me. The message I got was to try as hard as possible not to just "go with the flow" and choose what I can in life.

They are related, but there is not a strict dependency. You can put a new airport into a place without worry about local transport significantly. (edited for grammar and post structure) Most airports just put in parking and sometimes a shut

No, LA traffic is just that bad. I am in Omaha, only halfway to NY/DC, and I have to adjust my morning commute for LA rush hour.

Can't it be both? Honesty has phenomenal draw in marketing when the recipient agrees with the message. Even if one's disagrees, the product is harder to attack when everyone around it is honest.

I have seen a massive downtrend in flash use already. Is there anyone building building new and serious projects in it now?

You imply being able to write code for fun in your leisure time is bad, but so many great things have come out of leisure time.

The win 10 is an all around mess and the typical user gets ads in their start menu. It still has a few dialog from the nt4 era, some that use the snap-in nonsense, regedit is still a thing. Then for about half of what a typical user does th

I interpreted the headline as though they meant that the neurons were in a 3d structure and part of the world.

There are like 50 different toolkits... I exagerate, but: win32 GDI, windows.forms, MFCs, ATL and that is just from microsoft off the top of my head. There are way more when you start looking at all the solutions that a typical user might a

I think in some municipalities you can walk down to the planning and get most the blueprints you would like. Where you can't it is partially because the analogy breaks down physical is slightly reduced by openness, its allows attackers

Rather than trying to argue capitalism vs communism I would like to point out that neither specifically calls for mass murder. Both to happen to be associated with plenty of it though. For people thinking capitalism is completely clean plea

The 2nd airbag can be disabled in the event small children are riding in rear facing car seats. This prevents the airbag from opening and killing the child by smashing him/her into the passenger seat. Children that small should be in t

Houses do burn down on occasion pennies are used as fuses.

Now you are picking on minor wording choices. You asked for clarification and when it was provided you start beating up the person who responded with meaningful content.

To torture my analogy, If a circuit breaker keeps breaking for unknown reasons the solution is not to use a penny (the equivalent of disabling the brakes). But rather to get professional to look at and fix the system. If the self driving fe

Turning off safety features sounds like a bad idea. You can turn off the fusebox or circuit breaker in your house with a penny per circuit, but should you?

Even if that does happen I think we would see corresponding decrease in head-on, T-bone and other more devastating collisions. Its like non-corrupt red light cameras, they do reduce red light running and do increase the number of accidents.

Why is software like this allowed to be closed? We don't allow our plumbing, structure wiring, welding, or any other physical construction method to be closed away and hidden from view. Rather we demand these things be inspected, certi

I agree high speeds would be achievable but some fundamental aerodynamics must be solved to achieve that. Cars can catch a bit of and gain lift they are often airfoil shaped. Its not impossible, but the goals of an F1 car are directly at o

I think it is even more extreme. It is the normal result of having multiple teams making UIs. Each team is going to try things that are different. Consider how different the iPhone and windows 10 are. Or windows 7 and windows 8. Because the

Somehow, I don't think normal rules apply to people who have enough spare money so that can they toss $10,000 just to see what you will do.
