   Wait in the country where they have a right to own a fire arm, they are not allowed magnets. :|

   But there is something we can do. We can make the context clear and resolve this.

   We just need a way to indicate if the method is checking the type or the value.

   I really dislike this sort of reasoning. That its only confusing because you don't know enough. It's possible to word things in ways that are easy to learn and lead you to an understanding of the underlying mechanics. Its confusin

   So it's Not-a-Number but isNumber returns true? That would imply then that isNumber is named incorrectly. So perhaps isNumber should read isNumericType? Most of the time I want to test, is this a number I can use in a normal mathematic

   This may be correct, but why name it NaN if its a number. I thought we were meant to write readable code. Poor naming like this in the specs really does not help.

   One possibility here is that many would pay for porn with stolen credit cards. Thus making business that sell porn high risk to banks? That said from the other comments on here it does sound like there could be more to it.

    Also a kiwi here. Read the summary and it said the commission closed the investigation. Looks like every thing was legal, just the power companies maximising profits. Exactly what companies should do.

    I think you miss the point. I am trying to get a discussion on where we draw the line on how we assert our political beliefs in everyday life. For instance there has been talk here on the freedom of association. I support that to a degree.

    I understand why people could get offended about this. But as I understand it most who oppose this have a religious reason to do so. Now religion is as deeply person and important to a person as is the right to marry. So where do we draw th

    What we need is a movement of `experienced` devs to get out there and form some companies that employ mainly older devs. I'm sure the quality from such a company would be incredible.

    I don't think it's fair to point to her relationship as the cause of this. I also think that, referring to her relationship as "banging a co-worker", may be an example of the kind of behaviour that creates an uncomfortab

    I think the stigma is based on alleged bad behaviour. As this behaviour has nothing to do with gender I don't think it's accurate to say this is sexism. I could be wrong.

    I love this article. I hated "Math" in school, loved in at university. Why don't they teach real Math at school?

    There are some of us the would love an ability to opt-out of certain parts of the internet. I understand the problem with censorship. But I would love the option to opt-out. Especially when children are involved. The internet is an amazing
