This seems like the right decision to me. Being blocked from air travel is indeed a violation of liberty. I think the U.S. government has a right to keep a list of suspicious persons, watch and monitor them, block them from visiting the Uni

The problem for the OP, perhaps, is if he is not in Canada on a proper work visa, getting "gainful employment" will be very tough. You must have a Social Insurance Number to get any type of job. The only option for that is "c

You have to pay into Employment Insurance for a few months first, before you can collect it. Freelancers and other self-employed people don't qualify. Also, the safety net is generally only for citizens of a country who pay income taxe

I think there's a clear distinction between possessing child porn, which is illegal and subject to a jail term, and so-called "piracy", which is a civil dispute. There are very few digital things that are illegal to possess (

I agree. "How I Tried to Solve a Tough Physics Problem Only Using Google Searches" isn't a classic research paper, and seems to be no surprise that it didn't get accepted in the biggest physics journals.

I guess when you're absolutely sure that you're right, but the observation proves you wrong, you have to be prepared to consider the possibility that you're wrong. The comment I was replying to was saying that the file system

The original Microsoft research paper she pulls the number "14%" from uses questions like "do you have a visual impairment?" to determine disability. So if you wear glasses or contacts, you're disabled apparently.

Before responsive design came around, the word "responsive" actually meant a server would respond quickly to actions.

First, you'd have to buy and build a server for each ISP containing that content and support it when things go wrong. Next, it would have to be cheaper for the ISP to host your server on their network than for them to upgrade their con

The site loads 5 times faster. So clearly there are performance benefits to directory nesting.

I thought this as well. "My virus needs to log into my irc channel" is most likely a weak password situation. If someone is analyzing the binary code of this virus, the game is over anyways. No matter how strong your password is,

I've never seen that video before, so thanks for posting it. Yes, the head movement in the Amazon video makes it look like head tracking/perspective changes built in to the device. But what for?

I like the conclusion of the article, which is that concentrating all patent cases into a single court has given that one court too much power. That particular court seems heavily pro-business right now. The legal system works better when a

Could I not pay myself $100 per week? Or could I not pay you $100 per week if you pay me $100 per week? Seems the voting with money system can easily be gamed.

I have a friend who is dating two women, neither of which who knows about the existence of the other. If he was to tell each woman, please update your Facebook privacy settings to keep our friendship a secret, they would rightly be suspicio

With friendship, there are two people involved. One person can't demand the friendship be private if the other disagrees. If one person makes it public, it's public. It works that way in real life too.

Some might think this a glib response, but I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to use Facebook and keep perfect privacy. You have to allow other's to interact with you, and their privacy settings combine with yours fo

Interesting that it was lit on purpose by Russian petro-chemists in 1971, and has been burning ever since. The fire was originally supposed to last a couple of weeks...
