The sequence of events the parent of that poster described IS 100% hypothetical. We simply don't know wether they were losing money over Wikileaks. So what'd be the point of saying "but MAYBE they did that, so it IS okay"?
I'm wondering, on the smaller scale, how you would feel if everything you said about your wife in private were to be dropped on her lap.
I wouldn't even consider myself a worthy boyfriend, MUCH LESS a husband, if that would be *any* problem whatsoever? Sure, you might say things in a bit unflattering ways, but assuming she is not extremely stupid, your wife would understand. Especially since she's doing the exact same thing.
Now if you cheat on her or disrespect her, well, then the problem is not the disclosure, but your actions. And the sooner the disclosure happens the better, so she can have a relationship with someone actually worth her time.
When people use the ridiculous excuse of terrorism to spy on citizens, it's all "but you ain't got anything to hide, have you?", but hey that goes tenthousandtimesfold for those who start wars.
Or you know, you could do: QButton ok = new QButton("OK");;
What makes you think one cannot easily wrap that OpenGL into a single function, as well?
The advantages being it's a billion times faster, and that it just does what you actually need. The disadantage being more work, which in this context -- personal use, learning programming -- isn't even a disadvantage. Reinventing the wheel as *you* need it is a big part of learning to code, no?
And while "rape" has a very different connotation in Sweden (reports have it that he slept with two women in a short period of time, refusing to use a condom and didn't disclose to the other there was a second woman), it is still breaking the law.
so is getting a speeding ticket, no? and there's plenty of lawful immoral acts.... on the scale of things this relates to, being a sly fox does not even register, at least not to me.
The USA is like an abusive uncle, and extremely brutal one at times.... and anybody who minds her secrets being revealed is not a human being in my books. How's that for a balanced outlook? Why would I care about the "friends" of an utter non-entity? It's not like there hadn't been an easy way out of this: coming clean voluntarily.
This isn't about "revealing secrets", this is about a cocaine crazed rapist wearing huge hats with fruit on it taking a fucking look in the mirror. Only when that doesn't happen voluntarily do ugly scenes occur and third parties get hurt. So.... boo-fucking-hoo? Any power addicts resenting that should be next. It's really that simple. Turkey can cry me a river and then drown in it. Pah.
Video for Everybody is simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 <video> element, falling back to Flash automatically, without the use of JavaScript or browser-sniffing. It therefore works in RSS readers (no JavaScript), on the iPhone / iPad (don’t support Flash) and on many, many browsers and platforms.
"not being able to check if the person is doing the work they get payed to do, is just stupid."
Nice try, but that's not what it is. There are MANY professions which don't involve computers. Somehow, people still show up and somehow, their boss has a rough idea of wether they are working or not.
To check if someone does the work they get paid for does NOT require putting them under surveillance. You simply occasionally check wether they deliver the desired results. Simple.
Yes, that means if someone stops working, you won't notice it the same nanosecond... well, too bad, but that's nowhere near as bad as surveillance.
"That would be like me saying I can't put a GPS on my car to keep tabs on where it goes when my son drives it."
So? Where I live, that's a perfectly reasonable suggestion (to forbid that)... while the idea that you wanna "keep tabs" on your adult son would be met with not just a frown, but distance. You'd weird us out, man. Yay, Germany has come a long way:P
And I hope it stays that way. I like my humanity humane.
Insightful? Insightfullest! If there are deeper insights to be had than what the goatse man is so kindly offering to the internet day in day out, I don't wanna know them.
What about bookmarks? Bleh to tabs, I don't wanna have a hundred of them open anyway... I DO wanna have thousands of bookmarks, and Firefox is just no use in that regard, never has been, and judging from the stuff they get excited about, never will be.
What a joke. It's a browser for the masses alright.... the drooling excitement in the second half made me cringe haha.
so instead of studying actual humans, we try to make something just as complex as them, that behaves identically, and then study that? even if it WAS possible, it seems like a gigantic waste of time to me. also: to make something that behaves like humans we'd have to understand ourselves/each other first....
Godwin's law doesn't state that Nazis can't be brought up, it just states that they will be brought up eventually. Without any judgement on that, either, the whole "if you bring up the Nazis you lost the argument" bullshit is made up and can be cured with a simple use of google, instead of just reurgitating it ad nauseum.... from wikipedia.
The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular reference or comparison to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the likelihood of such a reference or comparison arising increases as the discussion progresses. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.
I remember chatting a few years ago with jabberwacky (which basically is "just" what people have been feeding into it for decades) and being unsettled by how cruel and outright evil it seemed... then I realized, oh, this is how (some) people treat a bot: cruel and condescending.
I see absolutely no point in this... we need to interact with people, not establish a feedback loop and surround our selves with virtual bullshit...
are you sure you can just add up probabilities like that? I'm not debating cancer is a huge issue and on the rise, but this still seems weird math to me.
how is that news? was there ever even a *moment* where microsoft was "cool"? I misread the headline as "Microsoft Out of Favor With Hung Developers", which made just as little sense and would have been just as little newsworthy. so please give me back the 5 seconds it took me to read it and the 15 minutes it took me to type up this response!
So aggression is fine, as long as femals are doing it... OR females are never aggressive... which one of these false statements were you trying to imply haha? Besides the BS of equating violence and aggression, of course...

well, then it should hang itself because it clearly is attacking US citizens 24/7. with the help of bootlickers like you.

That made me laugh hard, thanks =D
does it annoy you so much that nobody actually *is* flaming fox that you have to play with sock puppets...?
As a German, I wholeheartedly second that...!

haha.. what that AC posted kinda is exactly what I was going to reply to this: "but I already *have* made up my mind" :P
what's your point? I'd pick something that's correct and misspelled over something that's BS but has perfect grammar any day ^^
Neither do many billions of intarwebs posters, apparently.

ahhh, thanks for clearing that up. like many, I always kinda sucked at stochastics :)

they waste loads of time and energy. satan is very much pleased with them.
