I remember finding this and disabling it a long time ago. Thought I'd regret it later when I realize I don't have a lengthy log of my history with Google, but actually the feeling of not being creeped out is great.

It's a curious story, however, we need to take all into consideration. How reliable are the sources that reported what she was saying as a child? How reliable are the sources that reported what happened upon her arrival in Mathura? How

You said: "If that viewpoint is naive, so was Einstein", and then proceeded to reproduce the same quote. You seem to have used his name to give extra weight to the quotation. I am not arguing for or against your stance here (actua

Looks like an interesting text, but to be honest I didn't understand a substantial portion of it.

Why do people pull out quotes by globally recognized people in ordee to prove their points? So what if Albert Einstein said that? Are you implying that everything Albert Einstein says is true?

Just happened to me. The second I clicked it I figured out which one it was.

I hope they start doing Europe soon, OSM datasets definitely need some love over here. And a big respect to all the people who made this possible.

Is his resume really skimpy? I thought it was rather good, but I have no reference points on what is and what isn't considered good enough.

That's a tough one, then. I'm not from the US so I don't know what IRS really is, but I think I know of analogous institutions here... In which case, he needs to clearly explain that people can get in trouble for helping him.

Some more info? Didn't catch that.

I don't think anyone should judge him based on the small amount of information available. I understand that his situation is mostly his fault, but there may be other things at play. Why be so fast to condemn someone when an unfortunate

It'd be interesting to dive into parts of e.g. Linux source to see how it tests domains against the hosts file. It probably isn't doing anything as clever as Bloom, though, but who knows...

People engaging in all that "startup culture" stuff can be annoying sometimes, especially when they're of the type "I've just seen The Social Network and am looking for a technical co-founder to bring my $1bil idea

I developed an (unjust) animosity for systemd when a `pacman -Syu` installed it and broke my Arch system (which relied on a small password-prompt initscript written by me that I had completely forgotten about) but when I took a fresh look i

I agree with your point, but would like to clarify that I'm talking about having some decency and (at a minimum) a basic set of ethics, not being like those "nice guys" who're constantly bitching about how "girls da

I've never really thought about this--at present, I think of it as either "one has enough money to avoid thinking about money", or one doesn't. My sociology professor uses to say that "a satiate man has a thousand w

Here is my metaphor: your book is a pudding stuffed with apposite observations, many well-conceived. Like excrement, it contains enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some. But it is not a tasty pie: it reeks
