But the problem with all these things is that if the guy had lied on the form and then got in any kind of trouble, suddenly it becomes a huge issue that he lied on the form. It makes the bureaucrats life easier at the expense of the right

I made over $500 in a couple of weeks (purely part time). It's just a case of picking your jobs carefully.

You want to make a quick buck? Hammer out some freelance jobs on odesk.com, freelancer.com, etc. You can spend a week's worth of evenings plus the weekend and net a good few hundred dollars. The advice I just gave, while accurate, isn't ver

I'm sure you didn't mean it like that but I felt that it could be taken to mean that money is the best way of making things happen so I wanted to provide a counter-example. Cheers!

But it's not very polite to do (someone runs that website that you're hammering), and it doesn't open you up to a conversation that might get you even more access/data than you originally thought was accessible.

Depends what's meant by "core". If you're a cake business, don't outsource cake making, but do get someone else to build your shop. But so many web companies spend time and energy building CMS, db astraction layers, and tonnes and tonnes of

I've bookmarked the wiki page on this stuff for later. Otherwise my next question would just be "what's an imaginary component?" I don't think my tutors at Oxford really understood exactly what I meant by "I can't do all this maths". Basic

That's likely just the academic register. I wrote my dissertation saying "we found that..." when really it should have been "I found that...". Getting the academic tone right in essays/thesis/papers is important and indeed becomes second na

Exactly. The claim was "We use it because we must, not because we choose to." This is not true because even in environments where we need not, some of us still choose JS.

Thanks for your detailed reply. It's a lot to digest. As I explained in another reply, my mathematics is very poor indeed. > Likewise, think of the plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation, then points that are on that plane rotate, but

I think so, thanks. My maths skills are generally very poor indeed, but OTOH I have an MSc in Computer Science* so I should understand some of this sort of stuff. I always feel like I'm missing detail, eg: > every complex linear trans

I don't like the patronising tone of your comment. However, I do want to encourage discourse. So if you're genuinely interested in helping people understand, try rephrasing your comment to not imply that five year olds should be conversant

It absolutely crashed Firefox 18.0.1 under Mac. I typed hgjj]{return}{return}{return}{return} and it just beachballed. I had to force quit the browser. Happened the second time I tried it too.

That's not the only difference. There's a big difference between "Hey facebook, show my ad to singles who like dogs" and "Hey facebook, show my the profiles of people who are singles and like dogs".

Sadly, many systems for many years will still use unsalted MD5s. Rainbow tables will still have a place in the cracker's toolkit for some time.
