You can probably get at least a rough map of wealth for the area and any half intelligent burglar should use that data and this to their advantage and then they only have to hope they don't hit Paul Kersey's house.
It sounds like you're making the assumption I'm a gun owner when in fact I live in a country that doesn't really allow anything over a shotgun and even then you basically better have a good reason for needing it (i.e. farmer).
It just happens that I think it's moronic to be so against something that you would do something that can have a negative effect on people who don't even own guns.
Do you have any proof that by virtue of someone in your neighbourhood owning a gun that you are more at risk? Seems to me with nearly 50% of the population owning a gun then everyone should be at risk but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. By your logic cars should banned given how many deaths and handicaps they cause and the fact that nearly everyone has an accident in their life so your neighbour owning a car certainly increases your chances of getting into an accident.
You're not better than the NRA when you just make up stupid claims to support your beliefs.
I think it depends on what the criminal wants. As a burglar, I rather go into the gun-free area. As someone who wants to shoot someone or rob something larger than a home then knowing where I can get a gun without going to a shop comes in pretty handy.
If this isn't a troll then I would say tablets aren't really made for babies so why not stick with human interactions rather sitting her in the corner with a tablet?
I'm sure we can obtain all sorts of information about everyone this way. That doesn't necessarily make it a responsible thing to do. I'd be pissed if I lived in a "gun free" area on the map and therefore was now considered a more worthy target because of it. It's easy to sit there and "lol, screw gun owners" but this can have a negative affect on a lot more people. In fact if it were to have a negative affect it will likely be on those without guns.
My only issue with it would be that it can make burglars more likely to target my home if me and my neighbours aren't big on guns but it also serves as a resource for them and other criminals on where they can find guns. With freedom of speech comes responsibility and I'm not sure it's terribly responsible to make a nice easy map for any criminal to use to their benefit.
Google sucks at support too. They only just came up with phone support for customers years after realising no one wants to get support off some shitty message board.
What makes you think that? Google is a company that even holds a design patent on its homepage. Don't pretend google is some happy company that is more interested in helping the community because that's not true.
It's a dumb idea. There is no good way enforce that someone watches or listens to an ad. An ad just before calls is bound to be frowned upon given it would hold up calls that could be a matter of life and death.
I'd say in most cases he's right. I've worked in places with people of all varieties of skill levels and education and there is one consistent thing and that is code quality gets compromised. If you're lucky it's just a few bodge jobs, if not, then you have a whole heap of shit that has no value.
I realise they make money through ads but I suspect that won't last so they're seemingly looking for anyway to milk people. Sure it'll stop bulk spam but $1 is nothing to get your chance to be a total creep to some strange woman. On the bright side if creeping goes on that should kill FB.
The issue with OS X is that someone else buys the rights to do the mac port so the original publisher has no say and for whatever reason those mac devs don't seem to care for steam. I doubt that would happen with Linux since it would be starting fresh and doesn't have some rubbish legacy regarding ports.
Yeah that's why most PC developers jumped ship and plenty of indies complain about piracy rates as high as 80-90% despite the fact their games only cost a couple bucks or in one case you could set the price so a lot of people couldn't even be bothered to give like $0.50,
Maybe it will be outselling consoles but the fact it has to reach that point despite there being *way* more PCs in the home than consoles tells you a lot.
Most start-ups fail. Everyone has ideas but they're not all good. If you're helping out some online beggar on kickstarter then you're probably not giving much money and therefore not losing much. Live with it, that's how it goes. It could be worse, you could be dumping a few million into some tech start-up that goes no where.
I think the fact that kickstarter is more like free money than if you were to go to a traditional investor means that of course people are going to be more lax with what they do with your money.
I assume they thought they'd lose or it would have rammifications on them and what they can charge others in the future. I'll be really surprised if they decided to be nice to Apple.
They look the same and using them is the same but there are differences. One only allows you to spend money you have (excluding those with an overdraft which I'm not sure a child would get a £1,000 overdraft) and credit cards still offer more safety against fraud and theft.
It's all well and good if you're learning but if you don't get to do it on the job then people might not think much of you practice as there is no one to vouch for you or verify your code is good. Put your stuff on Bitbucket or some other source sharing site or contribute to open source. At the very least you can then always point people to your repos when you're looking for a job.
Why use scripting languages when you can write websites in C++? Just because you can do it in other languages doesn't mean you have to use them or Perl. But biggest reason imo for using Perl or Python is that they work much better across Unix systems. Everyone assumes your scripts will be perl or python. So you can write your website and supporting scripts all in one language and tie them together well with the website. If your site is kind of basic maybe that doesn't matter but sometimes you want code that can be fired off from multiple sources including the web. You can do that with any scripting language but the only two languages you can guarantee will be on a system are perl and python and writing CLI scripts in PHP is just stupid.

Unix is still very dependant on Perl. People can sit there and say no one uses it anymore but they don't realise how many things depend on it. Hell even popular OS X programs use perl which is why Apple's version of Perl can be out of date. In some instances language changes would break the scripts the particular version of OS X.
CPAN has some of the highest quality compared to other repos (especially compared to javascript), it has test stats for dependencies, quick access to view the source without downloading, documentation and just about any other info you want. Pypi is great for finding things and installing but supporting information is lacking. Maven I can't comment on but Ruby suffers from the same sort of problems that other brogrammer languages suffering from (more variety in quality and a lack of documentation).

Women are just far more likely to buy any shit that promises weight loss or younger skin.
Geocities was also a community which you likely won't get.

PC gamers should have paid for their software more often if they wanted dev's attention.

College is different and while they are the parent's child, they are adults and can get the card in their own name, it's their responsibility, etc.
They look the same and using them is the same but there are differences. One only allows you to spend money you have (excluding those with an overdraft which I'm not sure a child would get a £1,000 overdraft) and credit cards still offer more safety against fraud and theft.
Which is a debit card and you spend money you have and don't throw away money on like 10-15% interest rates.
