I think that it's more important to look friendly, or approachable, to be attractive to someone. In my experience I've found that a smile is better than a scowl, and definitely better than a neutral expression. True beauty comes from inside

Heh, that'd take maybe 60 seconds. I've only got a few articles that I've saved, a few screen shots, and one tiny demo project. As I said, it wasn't worth worrying about.

Most common attractive feature: a smile! Even if not outright happy, just looking relaxed or cheerful helps.

Well, this definitely cinches it. I had stuck with Dropbox thru the whole "your files aren't THAT encrypted" debacle because I have nothing worth hiding. But, this complete incompetence has convinced me that it isn't worth the risk! I'm not

By knowing the content you could style the regions of each page individually. This would, however, require something like a <style> element on the page to customize the regions or a stylesheet per page. Or by javascript. But I see t

I think it's an interesting solution. I think that CSS-only styling would be more difficult thanks to a lack of regions. This is more an "automated" way to get the browser to lay out the text within your content DIVs. The good thing is, you

How do apache hosts prevent against attacks like this? Or, at least how do they harden their implementations against it? I'm not much of a sysadmin but this intimidates me. I've always known that allowing PHP/.htaccess uploads are dangerous

The 'net looks like the wild west because most are ignorant that it is really a bunch of city-states like Greece. Each ISP/Host/Site has its own rules. Some are allied, some aren't. Governments are the overall nation. This simplification sh

You can be broke and you can be poor. Being broke just means you don't have money—been there, left that. But I equate poor with the mindset that repeatedly produces being broke and living paycheck to paycheck. If you want to make money and

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. I agree that the principle is possible because I view almost every principle as possible. But I think the achievement of said principle is far beyond man's capabilities. And I think the primary limiter

No one person can invent robotic creativity, therefore a team is necessary. If we presume that the team is comprised of members renowned the world over for their robotics and programming work, and are leaders in their field it doesn't guara

And humans, already having an innate intelligence, can easily imitate something. Without human interference a robot would rust to pieces before it ever moved a millimeter (we do have to tell it what to do). We could invent synthetic creat

This isn't a language: these are just randomized names. Anything can do that, it just takes the place of numbers, hashes, or whatever database you'd otherwise use. Come back when they (re)invent nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Like "beware t

It's sad, but look at history a moment. When has learning been open and free, and as distributed (courtesy of the 'net) as it has been during the last two decades? We have set a new record in the annals of history. That's got to count for

With Exxon making $11bn in profit , no wonder no one is making jobs here. Just because "gas is $5/gal elsewhere" is no reason it should be here—because our economy runs on cheap gas. When gas gets costly so does food, and so does the feebl

And yet, if that symbolism is twisted to martyrdom it makes democratizing the Middle East infinitely more difficult. I sincerely hope the US government hasn't created a martyr, and that they do have documented proof this was Osama Bin Laden

Even better than this is to not generate a hash, but an HMAC with the hmac "secret" being some kind of site-key and salting the input. It can't be hit by continuation attacks, to which prepending an unchanging salt is completely vulnerable.

Poor public emergency care and unsanitary conditions would contribute to this very strongly. I bet they're mostly healthy until they get ill, or have an accident.

I've never actually laughed when reading a license before. This is so funny that I might have to make a new project JUST to license it with the CDL.

Point 3 is nothing more than character assassination, and I'm disappointed that you are voted up with that in your comment. I do get it. Point 2 is moot. Yes, the cumulative effect is felt—but I'm pretty sure we can adjust for that. In fa

This is nothing more than an educated guess. While Gross is theoretically correct, I'm not certain our implements can detect a 5.4 µSec change over 3 days. Not only that, I doubt it matters enough for us to care. Assume that our sensors ar

CSS isn't to blame for a lack of creative application of itself. It doesn't matter what the `float` attribute was intended for, look at all the cool stuff it can do! Yes, I know it's hard to make column-based layouts. But really, go use a t

Is that the entire script? I do not quite understand how that would comprise an entire project. Could you put it on github, perhaps? I'd like to browse thru a working Photon project.

Technically they exist, but I think it's an oxymoron because it must be bound to be usable. To be honest, I still can't figure out a reason you'd ever use one. Do you have an idea of when they're useful?

So, Gary says both "I can't stand Ruby's Syntactic Flexibility" and "I wish Python had more Syntactic Flexibility." (Really, all he wants are blocks so that he can have RSpec, etc.) But he does point out some odd, and some good features of
