Yes I did. The question was, "Why can't he be questioned in Britain?" Swedish law says he has to be questioned in Sweden, not Britain. How's that not an answer?

Not to the degree Mexico has. And drugs are entirely different from guns -- drugs are something an individual takes that affects them; guns are bought by those who either feel the need for defense or the need to kill people easier.

I am, however, confused at how the US can charge him for espionage, given that he's not a US citizen. It makes sense that he would be extradited to Sweden -- he's accused of committing a crime(well, 2) while he was present in the country. I

That's kind of disingenuous, Mexico has massive corruption problems and a massive, semi-open black market.

With all due respect, it's one of the basises of Buddhist philosophy. Don't be such an egotist! Try to come up with a clear demarcation of "self" and you will find it impossible.

But this argument based on "freedom" is silly. I am rather sure Ted's argument isn't that it's difficult to pay your taxes. His argument is for "complete freedom" from what he views as technology. Social structures such as taxation are a fo

Which is a very good reason that his argument doesn't make sense. Naturalism is silly, as is separating things as "human-created" or "man-made" versus "natural". It all comes out of the same matter of the universe. I really don't understand

Just let them know what you said here, and send your revised code to them. Nothing to lose. I was in a similar scenario before(C programming exam and no C experience for the previous ~5 years) with a large networking company and they were g

Wha? My old employer had a "non-compete" contract they wanted new hires to sign along with the rest of the employment contracts. The stipulations were basically that you couldn't work for any competitor within a year of leaving employment w

Does anyone have a copy of the full memo? The snippets posted in the article didn't make it sound like an apology at all -- more of an "I'm sorry people were so upset about this, but let's forget it." No real admission of guilt or explanati

Don't write your own project management app unless that's what your idea is. IMO. I really like OmniFocus but it's pretty expensive, and you have to purchase separate licenses for the iPhone, iPad, and OS X versions. TaskPaper is popular. I

I wonder if that's due to the profit margins on the big-ticket items(like an HDTV) being so low that they have to make it up on the accessories.

How do you wind up with a 1.5gb binary? That's incredible -- especially considering all their static assets are on their CDN, so this is basically their code and all the libraries they're pulling in.
