I don't think that's exactly it (though I don't understand the down votes you're getting). The bigger issue is proving the lies. The problem we have is that people allow their leaders to be vague and imprecise. Whether or not something is t

Nonsense. You can't draw an equals sign between two actions just because they sounds similar. One is a completely legal action by an employee in good standing. The other is a crime. They are not the same thing and should not be treated as s

At least two of the three most prominent smart phone roms are backed by operating systems that have long histories of (more or less successful) profile switching. It might in fact be a difficult problem, but it's one that has serviceable so

Isn't "clerical error" essentially the same excuse that Kenneth Lay & friends made about the frauds perpetrated by Enron? In that case, they alleged that intentional bad acts were carried out by employees and that the executives had no

Are you at liberty to share the reasons behind supporting these platform-specific SDKs rather than providing a single, robust REST API?

The linked article seems to mention re-entry friction as a problem yet-to-be-solved: The system would also have to cope with atmospheric heating from re-entry, which could melt the weapon. Then there's the question of whether or not heat

On the subject of privateers, why is the author so insistent on the danger of crashing ships into planets? What does the math look like when space craft like he describes hits the upper reaches of our atmosphere? At those speeds, could a sp

It's free on Kindle, so it's now on my Kindle. Thanks for the tip.

I got this for Christmas and have eagerly consumed the first few chapters. Who'd have thought that the history of information encoding would be so intriguing?

Re-read a classic fiction, Treasure Island by Stephenson. Of the non-fiction I read, and completed, this year, Endurance: Shackelton's Incredible Voyage by Lansing.

Absolutely. Enough articles are written on the topic of abstracting layers of your application away from each other (data access, view, service, etc) but rarely do we hear about the importance of abstracting your application from 3rd party

Poor planning on someone else's part doesn't make an emergency in my part. I've always hated this statement. I can understand, to some extent, not bailing out those who are habitually poorly prepared, but how can you justify not bailing s

The iPhone and iPad are successful because of design, attention to detail, and Apple's marketing muscle. True; however, I would argue that the marketing portion of their success comes as a result of painting each new product as a picture

I can identify with most of these issues on my Captivate, and that many of them were improved or resolved by installing Cyanogenmod (the big issues, GPS and camera, remain). That isn't a legitimate option for the vast majority or smartphone

a tank with pure hydrogen of any quantity is a very dangerous bomb. That seems like a solvable problem to me. By limiting concentration, removing oxygen, and investing heavily into rupture-resistant tanks, is it feasible that the risk cou

Not everything is about simplification or minimization. Much like serifs on fonts, syntax aids readability and therefore understanding. Not needing to study the wider context to determine if some collection declaration is a list or hash is

Not to be overlooked is that they were on a military shooting range.

Don't forget too that Kari was pregnant. Calling those sequences poorly considered is an understatement.

It's a simple concept. Make a place that people want to be and they'll come and they'll stay. Steve knew that he leaned heavily on each and every one of his employees, and that they delivered. I speculate that this was his vision on how to

I loathe that you're being downvoted for this. My first desire after reading this was to share it with my co-workers. Unfortunately, the article's format as a profanity-laced rant makes it completely inappropriate for that purpose. It's a s

Side-stepping the obvious civil liberty issues, where exactly does the "Transportation" Safety Administration derive its authority to screen people who aren't using public transport?

I've started adopting a similar soft approach along these lines myself. My wife and I are Ubuntu Linux users at home, but our families know us as simply computer savvy. Often enough someone will call us with Windows-specific questions, whic

That sounds like an arbitrary limitation to me. Other social networks allow for organization accounts. Do you apply the same criteria to those networks or just to Google+?

What constitutes a "cash stockpile?" Does this disincentivise saving? Is it even legal to tax funds without a transaction?

Won't this change as the need for iTunes and external synchronization goes away? Apple has made a big deal about future iOS devices not requiring a PC for sync. Does the app store on iOS devices provide similar discovery mechanisms or will

OT: Redirecting IE users to the Chrome download page with a pithy JS popup isn't not winning you any brownie points.

This is a story about a hateful woman whose primary intention is to be arrested. Her ideals are irrelevant because her intention isn't to be arrested for her protest, but to just be arrested while protesting . The difference is profound, a

My only explanation is differing versions of software. I entered and re-entered both passwords to no avail, and for the app-specific password I did so with and without spaces (which they say doesn't matter). I'm quite sure I did it correctl
