I can't imagine letting anyone take a drill to my teeth but the most skilled DMD I can afford to pay. I'm surprised others don't feel that way (but hey, whatever floats your boat).

That does not justify overthrowing another country's government. Most countries, including the United States, recognize the state's eminent domain over its land and its natural resources. Besides which, the Iranians tried to neg

I'm not a West Hater by any means, but I'd say the war started when the US and the UK engineered a coup in Iran because Iran nationalized their oil industry (after the British oil company running it refused to be audited or to ren

They can just block everything by default and only enable what they can decrypt. Maybe you could try tunelling encrypted data over HTTP, but heuristics could probably pick that up too.

I think it's indicative of the value of the property that just the name alone is worth 300K. If they were interested in commercializing the game I suspect they would be able to make a lot more.

I seem to recall a profile of the game and it's creators that said it's mostly by choice. Found it: they were offered 300K just to license the name. He has refused a programming job at a major developer (he asked that I kee

Fine, but that's not what you wrote above. And so then we're back to demanding that a defeated political opponent repent. "Here is our political issue, you advocated against it, you lost, so now you must beg our forgiveness

Yes, that is what you wrote. People had just gotten very, very, VERY tired of the pseudo-tolerant stance he was endorsing [1], and didn't want to feel that they were lending credibility to it, by having him at the head of

It's right there in your comment. You said "Love the sinner, hate the sin" was not considered an acceptable viewpoint for him to hold. But even removing that point from my comment the rest stands. You wrote that people were

It was the activists who dragged Eich's donation from years ago into the spotlight, made it an issue, and demanded that he apologize. The "pseudo-tolerant stance" people are/were "sick of hearing" or "bei

What can I say, that is just not the world I want to live in. A world in which your defeated [1] political opponents must repent, wear sackcloth, and cast ashes in their hair or else be professionally destroyed. [1] Proposition 8 had been

Yes, of course Eich's critics had the right to criticize him. The point is that calling for his resignation was grossly disproportionate.

OK. I guess I shouldn't have talked about instruments I don't know well.

Interesting video, I just have a few nitpicks. The problem is not that the piano has too many strings, it's that the notes are fixed. The same is true for any string instrument with frets, like a guitar, or wind instruments with fixed

The comment I was replying to said nothing about the environment, only individual wealth. Also, it doesn't matter what economic system you're using, if your ratio of working people to non-working people decreases, your quality of

No, I mean that the fact that /dev/urandom "reseeds" in mid stream means it is not strictly speaking pseudo-random, since it is not completely deterministic. Maybe I'm wrong, but the comment I was replying to was a

CSPRNGs are a type of pseudo random number generator, which are defined to be deterministic. I have no problem with calling /dev/urandom a CSPRNG for practical purposes, but very strictly speaking, it's not.

One stipulation of the PAEA has caused controversy. It stipulates that the USPS is to make payments of $5.4 - $5.8 billion into the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, each year, from 2007 to 2016 in order to prefund
