What are you talking about? The US Military does not enforce free trade on the high seas. I am not aware of it taking any day to day role against piracy at all. Singapore has its own navy. Why would you need to buy off 30 different militar

I resent the suggestion that North Shore residents aren't aware of Sydney's South. I go to the airport all the time, and that's as south as it gets. As for the West I'll have you know I have been through Strathfield several times, and I onc

And by the time that 5-10 years is up we will probably be in the middle of a huge paradigm shift. I am not sure of the details but I think everyone can sort of sense it on the distant horizon. Yeah, OSX is subject to consumerisation. So is

There's no good ones. Navicat is probably the best but it's a very far cry from Sequel Pro, and very poor value IMO. Basically the best hope is for the Sequel Pro guys to support PostgreSQL, which they have stated they intend to do.

Or none. That's the thing - that "pick two" saying actually applies only to competent practitioners. Actually getting two is the best case scenario! I have seen projects where the implementers happily go way over time, way over budget, and

Not in Australia yet, sadly :( edit: I spoke too soon. You just have to own the Windows version, and the mac version will appear. Downloading!

Finally!! Us Mac users are used to waiting a little longer than PC users to get a compatible version of the game, but 15 years must be some kind of record.

I don't think it's sarcasm so much as exaggeration; compared to the hours, days or even weeks he had to wait in the past, it sure seemed like a picosecond. Sarcasm would imply he was somehow denigrating or mocking CERN and/or the CRAY1 and

This post seems like he is trying to apologise, but it's also coming out wrong and he is again accidentally being an asshole.

There is no need to insult everyone's intelligence by asserting that anyone that thinks cryonics has a non-zero chance of success has been fooled by "snake oil". It so happens that quite a few rather smart people believe that cryonics has a

Firstly, thank you for talking about it - I do not mean to argue with you about your own thoughts. But I think differently. When I said life has no purpose, I didn't mean it was futile or nihilist or anything else. I mean that words like "p

I'm sure smarter men than myself believed the world is flat, or that leeching drained bad humours, lacking as they did proper knowledge or even a proper way of reasoning. But we do not lack for these things today. The reason I sound sure of

Life has no purpose. It's just applied randomness, like everything else. This is difficult for the non-religious to swallow, that's why religion exists. HN isn't a support network but I fully understand and appreciate your post.

I see from other comments you're from non-London-area England, so excuse my comment - I was thinking of the US or Australia, where demand for programmers could only be described as "red hot". I'd advise your unemployed CS grad friends to co

The overreaction on this page is ridiculous. Has anyone actually read the steps required to exploit this vulnerability? You do know that to be able to exploit it you have to know the application's secret key, so you can create your own mali
