From the article: That means insecure scripts, stylesheets, plug-in contents, inline frames, Web fonts and WebSockets are blocked on secure pages, and a notification is displayed instead. That seems to me like a complete list and does not

I think it just doesn't work for everyone. While many people seem to love it, I failed to read it, twice. I think I got his point about self-reference and conciousness in the introduction, but from then on I found it so mind-numbingly borin

Without making judgement as to how valid that "obligation" is, this is pretty much the stance of RMS. No, it's not the stance of RMS that if you use open source code than you are obliged to produce open source. In fact, he considers it es

If the eggs are for baking, they're safe. If they're not going to be cooked that long, I usually wash the eggs exactly before use. That way I remove any dirt before opening the shell, and at a point where removing the egg's cuticle is not a

The ICS move wouldn't have been a bad option. Maybe in a couple of years, but not yet. Pre-ICS Android still has more than 50% of Android's share. http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

The FSF is more about giving users rights to change the code than about giving developers rights to use libraries. With BSD-style licenses, developers can limit the users' rights to change the code, which is not in line with the FSF's line.

Funnily, D demonstrates why C compatibility is so important: without C compatibility the adoption would be very low.

I found both really interesting. Whereas the xkcd article ( http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ ) goes into some detail into one experiment, the original article has a wider scope and touches on several experiments, the xk

It all depends on the project. For example, I backed Double Fine Adventure, which is on the bottom section in the lateness diagram. The thing is that it got overfunded by a factor of 8. The original plan was for a $400,000 game, and you can

Those are fair points. I'm thinking those examples are from the Batman films, which I like in a way, but which are my least favourite Nolan films, although I think they are the most well known. I was more referring to films such as Memento

I don't respect him solely for choosing challenging projects. I respect his ability to direct really smart films, which are self-consistent. I usually don't care much about contradictions in films, as I think "It's just a film." But with No

As far as I know, women in the UK used to pay less for car insurance because they are less accident prone. I don't know if this has changed because of sex discrimination laws. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12600284

The BSD licence is not GPL-incompatible. It is the original BSD licence which is GPL-incompatible, because it has an advertising clause requiring all advertising material for a product to include a note for each contributor under that licen

My gripe is not with Gnome removing features that are useless, but with Gnome removing features that are useful just to influence user behaviour. The case I have in mind is the lack of an option to leave the screen on even when inactive for

But for some reason, I strongly doubt Amazon will ban him... And the point is that even if they ban him and try to delete his library, they will fail because he has backups without DRM.

The hypothetical cleverest, most correct person possible would be right 100% of the time and therefore would never change their opinion because changing it would go from right to wrong. A subtly different view: The hypothetical cleverest,

I don't think so. PostgreSQL has a fast implementation of its dispatcher that works well. The kernel change introduces a regression in the performance of PostgreSQL and potentially other programs doing the same style of locking. The kernel

54.5 mpg using US gallons is 65.5 mpg using imperial gallons, so it is harder than it sounds for those of us more used to imperial gallons.

I'm finding it a bit hard to make sense of your comment. I don't know of that "many vehicles that will do far over 55mpg on a fossil fuel powered engine." And how is "higher mpg = higher carbon emissions"? Higher mpg means less gas per mile

Honest question since I'm not really familiar with the case and might be completely mistaken: One of the fundamental principles behind the GPL is that a user can modify the program and run the modified program. Was this freedom preserved? B

Maybe Apple and Microsoft should release all their software under a permissive license for the good of hundreds of millions of users. Is that what you are suggesting? I do not have any problem with people/corporations releasing/selling thei
