I'm a pretty heavy RESTful API user (feels like what I spend most of my day doing a lot of times), a pretty heavy Paw user and pretty well versed with its feature set, and on the CLI side, curl | jq. So I think I can actually probably

For six months, the police provided strong incentive to actively commit new child abuse, because they were running a site that required active uploading. Really, possession and distribution of these images should be legal. Then pedophiles w

My bank issued me a debit/ATM card by default. I asked, and they replaced it with a plain ATM card that's not a debit card. They also had this insecure-dy-default behavior allowing checking account overdraws to start pulling out o

I tend toward the tidy side on things like this. I don't "have a reason", per se. In that regard, it's almost like an OCD, it's just something that needs to be done. (I don't have OCD at all, but this is just t

I tried this, and very quickly found that out. Thereafter, I considered very carefully whether any word that wasn't in the most common 1,000 was worth introducing, and used the top 1,000 freely. That ended up working pretty well. When

The way you describe 'love' there seems romanticized, and it seems odd that you suggest that there is a 'proper' way to love. That seems to me like suggesting there's a "proper" way to be angry. It's

A bit of a nitpick. It says, "Stress is always part of a happy life and a stress-free life is not automatically a happy one." Not only is a stress-free life not automatically a happy one, but by the first half of the sentence, it

Not sure how that can be answered. How would it compete against C#, which is basically Java++, and now open source and cross platform, and mature? But C# doesn't exist without Java, which it was heavily influenced by. Scala runs on the

I don't think the school having a dumb password is tangential at all. Your efforts are undermined by being given a lame password you can't change (if it couldn't be changed.) This would be like having your bank make your bank

People have an odd view of gay marriage, where people have some sort of right to marry who they choose. Marriage isn't a right, it's a privilege granted by society to try to promote nuclear families. They get tax breaks, etc. at t

I don't think they aim for portability, and give valid reasons why they don't. For instance: http://www.openssh.com/?vm=r """ OpenSSH is developed by two teams. One team does strictly OpenBSD-based

I guess it depends on the work place. I work at an enterprise (>1000) sized corporation and I've torrented stuff without hearing about it. We also use bittorrent internally to help bring servers online.

I remember the first time I took an upper-divison math class at my university. I never saw so many left-handed glasses-wearing males in a single spot. So, lies, damn lies, and statistics. If average cognitive ability is lower, then I'

From my outsider perspective, I don't even keep track of these things much: * Amazon seems to have a reputation for burning employees out. * IBM seems quite stagnant. They're basically a huge consulting/services company, not

Well, much of this shadow government consists of the executive branch. Obama is still obviously wholly accountable, as he can likely issue executive orders unconditionally changing the policy and operation of agencies at will. Of course, he

I work for a company that provides VPSes. In a situation like this, they can see the usage is aberrant and they can see it's not normal based on past bills. They'd likely offer a large credit if you say you didn't intend to d

Well, I believe this sort of agreement violates the law and workers' rights. Perhaps people do expect too much of them because of that slogan, but we can condemn any company for illegal, anti-competitive behavior.

Gates is worried about law breaking now? I guess this law breaking won't make him any money. He's too smart and rebellious to actually care about the law. He's not stupid enough to believe what he's saying about lawbreak

Slavery was not expedient. It's hard to subjugate masses of people. Morality has only ever held sway to the extent it's convenient. Why is the US not a British colony? The Atlantic Ocean. The colonials got feisty, and it became mo
