Are you trying to tell me you understand what any of those mean without a legend? The only one that's decipherable is "kcal", all the others could as well be scary aliens.

Don't get me wrong, but I just don't see the point in this. This looks like a pretty in-depth study, why couldn't we use these man hours to create something of actual value? Why does someone care that some people associated a

The problem I see is that people don't learn. My university classes were full of people who were copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers everywhere they could and were getting relatively good grades. The same people had no idea what open s

I guess it's pretty common. One of my old coworkers was promoted to a mostly management position, this guy couldn't figure out how to print something out in Python without calling a colleague.

Yes, it is pretty normal to have phobia of e.g. insects. If you have phobia of Russia on the other hand, you might want to get checked.

Prepared statements are amazing. Found out about them very soon after I started programming (incidentally my first language was PHP), and switched to PDO right away. This was years ago, I don't understand how people are still using the

Where did you come to the conclusion that they think he was one of the hackers? Neither the link, nor the Telegraph article said anything like that AFAIK.

I don't understand the uproar about this. Giving away free music is vastly different then installing random apps in my opinion.

But you are voluntarily giving that info away if you use WA and don't change your privacy settings. The 'last online' feature is quite important IMO, and if you're concerned about this then disable it. Edit: On the other

This is a staggeringly bad comparison, almost like comparing drawing a line in C# (couple lines) to trying the same thing in C++ (possibly 100+ lines).

I wonder when we will move away from the current plane designs, they all look the same for decades now! I think a change like the one in automotive industry in the last century would be welcome. I'd personally love to see some more &#x

Wow the prices people pay in here are exorbitant. I have a UK no contract SIM and pay 25 pounds a month, this includes uncapped internet and quite a number of texts + minutes. I pretty much only use it for the internet as it's such goo

How's Emacs doing these days? I know it was really popular a few years ago when everyone was editing files in it, but since I started with linux I only ever see people use Vim.

Oh, so when someone calls me a totally racist and offensive slur against white people it causes no harm, but when white people call blacks what they call each other all the time it hurts them... definitely makes sense.

If Mozilla finally managed to implement the encoding Twitch uses for mobile devices, I'd finally be able to uninstall that pile of shit. Sadly it's a licensing issue.

Everyone should just blackhole any traffic to and from the Aruba ISP. They have failed to maintain the trust relationship needed at high-tier ISPs and should no longer be operational.
