I would guess that anyone who describes academic papers as not being full of "crap" or who describes source code as "beautiful" has read neither. To learn something, I read books , like textbooks. But maybe that's just me.

Well the connection to Israel IS bad, but in this case it's more like a connection to Mossad . If you can't work out why that's bad, try substituting Russian FSB , Iranian Revolutionary Guards or Chinese PSB for Mossad in the sent

For the second time: If the Swedish government legitimately wanted to question Assange about the risible "rape" charges (that they didn't even bother with while he was in Sweden), why didn't they give a guarantee not to extradite him to the

The problem is not when programmer (A) writes the code and the comments correctly. Nor when jackass(B) updates the code and not the comments, making them misleadingly worse than no comments at all. But when the code now has to be maintained

You have your definitions confused. Critical software leads to people's death when it goes wrong. Mission critical software leads to the mission 's death when it goes wrong. Where the mission is usually "make money".

Try being a raghead like me and going through transport security in Europe, then going through it in the USA, then comparing the experience. You may be disillusioned.

Singapore is basically a police state already. It may be a better place to live than the US or UK however.

My comment was not about advantaging the person being lied to but the person being lied about (and being saved), in my example a third party. The white lie example is more like "No darling your bottom doesn't look fat in that dress" (Th

By the way, I am a bit dubious about the "personal experience" involved here, because - the way I understand it - it's about a dearth of societal role models. I was never even aware of that as a factor. If I had been, I should have thought

Maybe we don't need more women in software. Maybe people shouldn't be persuaded to pick careers based on what "society wants" or what demographic ratios "should" be. Maybe we need more women, no, more people to pick the most advantageous

What difference in tactics? The Khomeinists used exactly the same tactics as the Bolsheviks did, right down to being organized as soviets or committees . And Al Qaeda use exactly the same tactics as the CIA taught them, in fact they trai

I want to be a stickler about logic: "Innocent civilian IHH members have been killed" != "IHH members have killed innocent civilians" "Innocent civilian IHH members have been killed" != "IHH members are terrorists" Stop being ridiculous.

And you really believe that Al Qaeda are some sort of comic book savages? Presumably if we were in the 1960s you'd have believed the same about the Viet Cong. Here's a more credible opinion: http://zenhuber.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/preview-

The reason for mentioning Russia and China is that they were the most spectacular successes that I could think of, gaining for Lenin and Mao control of huge, superpower territories. I don't believe Franco's success was anywhere near this sc
