I think it's fair; I don't think you rebuke my point. Take out the foreman, and the jury is even more lay than prior and less biased, as you point out. The very nature of juries is to "educate" a lay jury, but the lawyer

These arguments always strike me as coming from people who only spend time with Apple's designs. The folks who think that only Apple designers are leaps and bounds better, are the only thoughtful producers, and are the sole visionaries

I'm not sure what you mean by inconsistent, but I imagine the point is to give a slight depth -- better highlight the foreground tab.

Honestly, I didn't check the dozen-plus packages pending update for us and then someone else cutting their teeth on it for a while, but Twisted was clearly marked as not being updated for Py3. But yes, clearly we're waiting; apparently Guid

To be fair, the Python 3 transition timer shouldn't have had its tick starting until more recent versions of Py3. This won't be true for all Python communities (eg. Mathematics / Research), but until the more sane implementation of bytes/st

Well, it's non-obvious what we're comparing it to, so I assumed the most oft compared exceptions. In this case, when opening a file, you can go ahead and use the value and "ignore" the error. Go ahead a run either of the above examples. Not

by thezilch 13y ago
Why is that? Compared to? Is it worse than exceptions? f, err := os.Open("/etc/ttys") if err != nil { // handle `err` "f not found" } try: f = open("/etc/ttys") except IOError as err: // handle `err` "f not fo

Great. Just to expand on the switching of axis. It's harder to compare data between graphs, but upon second inspection, it appears the colors from the first graph are not used in the secondary graphs. Second, trying to get to the projects i

Is it possible to switch the axis and set the maxima at 100%? I have to re-calibrate for each graph, or 30% almost looks like 50%. And it's hard to read the rotated labels, but the percent on the horizontal axis would not need to be rotated

Not just "sites;" I can see this being great for some API's topology.

How about criminalizing viewers of a video depicting a kid in a bike helmet entering a closet to exchange the disk on his laptop hooked into MIT's network? A video on a PS3 running "unsigned" software? Racial violence? Religious violence? Y

Definitely. So why have the law on "_consuming_" child pornography? I believe that is the top-most comment's concern. The law is so easily abused, subverted, or otherwise. It sets precedence for bad law or interpretation therein. It muddies
383.
by thezilch 13y ago
So, are there markets for non-criminal recordings of "child" pornography? Can you tell the difference? I'm betting it exists, and "pedophiles" don't even know it. Are the laws the same against both mediums? And while we agree upon the diffe

That's his point. Would criminalizing violent movies reduce chances of violence? Many think it would; so ban those movies? Video Games? Guns? Knives? Rice cookers?

Well, no one has asserted facts, only that "reasonable people" care about area, despite no screens being marketed that way. Nonetheless, MS has changed their imagery and copy, and reasonable people will buy these products no more or less th

by thezilch 13y ago
People are irrational, especially with their favorite brands. However, it is the de facto to measure screen size by the diagonal length. Apple does, too, or they use height and not area -- you'll have to compute that and "no one" does. Shou

Google supports openness just fine and not statistically less than yesterday or n-days ago: https://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:google . Regardless, I'm dubious to believe having closed software makes one evil; just the same for

by thezilch 13y ago
No, it's not evil to make or ask for money to use your product; it's not evil to discontinue services, especially not with 6-24 month advanced warning; and it's not evil to literally want to be the omnipresent center of everyone's lives. Ho
