If a conference wants to have a policy governing the actions of their attendees whilst at the conference , wonderful. If a conference thinks they have any right to govern the actions of people who happen to be attendees whilst not at the

Not sure why you're being downvoted for this, it's spot-on. Accusations, no matter how credible, do not indicate guilt.

Google's own products don't even conform to this. My Galaxy Nexus and Chrome browser requires app-specific passwords.

The most interesting thing to me about each of these little episodes is how Linus, by creating the brilliant Linux kernel, is lauded as a sort-of-oracle when giving his opinion about very non-kernel things. I quite like the simple, opiniona

I ordered one to replace my aging Galaxy S Captivate. At this point I'd settle for a phone that is simply 100% functional out of the box.

So, what you're essentially saying is that robots aren't doing out taxes because the rules are poorly defined and open to wide subjective interpretation? That sounds to me like the rules are broken, not the robots.

This isn't at all my experience, and I buy from Amazon quite a lot. Can you cite any specific examples?

Frankly, this says more about the people you follow than the platforms themselves. If you aren't following ego-maniacs (and, admittedly, stay out of the "popular posts" type sections) then there should be no problem. Don't blame the platfor

Well, for one, dust. There's a strong case against mounting the electronics on a piece of wood and hanging it on the wall in open air, but if the builder is oddly inflexible on that point then liquid-cooling is probably the most practical w

No, ad hominem is "You're wrong 'cause you're a jerk." DanBC pointed out that their opinion might not be as above reproach as is often assumed because of past lapses in good judgment.

They might be worth the price of admission squared. It simply doesn't matter if the cost of that admission is out of reach. I worry that an ever increasing ticket price will put this event, if it hasn't already, squarely in the realm of cor

You don't really want to bring your RAM usage down. Unused RAM is a performance hit. Sure, some applications are hogs and that can result in a performance hit for background processes and task switching, but high RAM utilization is GOOD for

Yeah, you could buy a Mac and be happy. I just bought a System76, and while the jury is still out they came highly reviewed and first impressions with the machine are positive. You do have options other than "build" and "buy a Mac."

Using a tool outside of its intended scope can indeed yield interesting and unexpected results. Perhaps there is value in an exercise such as this, yet, I can't help but be put off by it. CSS is intended to separate document style from docu

For me, this problem is manifested in referencing bible verses. I love my Kindle, but use it once and you quickly learn that it wasn't designed for random access.

This is an easy problem - change your API. It creates a built-in way of excluding previous users and, if a bit forcefully, opens lines of communication for users to update their implementations. Legal threats? Good riddance to you. I'd not

And I think, ideally, most people follow this pattern. Problem is, my 4-month old daughter (and, I suspect, many, many other 4-month old daughters) haven't heard of this.

This kind of corruption gets lost in the political shuffle. Both sides of the argument want so desperately to over-simplify the issue into regulation is good/bad as a boolean decision rather than attack specific classes of regulation at the

Or just disable password-based authentication. These "attacks" are little more than log spam and are meant to prey on systems that host novice users with weakpasswords. Require PKI and the log spam goes away.

People have started using downvotes to indicate disagreement. Ironically, on this site at least, sufficient downvotes result in that post being hidden from view. Imagine that, censoring opinions with which you (in the proverbial sense) disa
