Really? We have to take our shoes off because of Richard Reid, why our belts? When underwear boy lit his crotch ablaze, that justified now suddenly spending billions on scanners some of which to this day haven't had a conclusive radiation health study about their effects. No fluids brought through because of supposed threat by terrorists in Britain. Shit, all these terror morons have to do is come up with a viable scheme and millions of air traveling passengers have to be subjected extra security for the sake of feeling safe. We need to look at how the Israelis handle Airport security because let's be honest they have a much more effective and pragmatic way of screening passengers. I'm all for trying to make sure a terrorist never gets on another flight but lets be honest here the knee jerk stupidity of the DHS overwhelms logic and reason. Let's also not forget that when their budget gets cut there's a sudden lack of screening staff even though that wasn't part of the targeted budget reductions. When Texas threatened to get rid of the TSA in lieu of another state agency handling screening, suddenly DHS says "we won't allow flights into the US from Texas." Coercion, Brow beating and a huge budget with more than it's fair share of criminal activity they sound more like the IRS than a Homeland Security agency. The DHS is now another piggy at the trough in DC coming up with new and innovative ways to make us all hate air travel even more.
i tend to have mixed reactions on both sides of it. If it's a method of say 25 lines and it's not too obscure why put comments in there? Then again if somebody wants do to some lambda expressions with multiple streams going in parallel, then yeah comments at least leave some breadcrumbs. I just to believe in shooting the messenger if there are comments there, regardless of style. There's utilities that can clean up comments so it the developer doesn't need to fuss much about style, line spacing etc.
Speaking as somebody who's written code dating back to the 70s, be thankful I even comment the code. In some circles the code should be self evident and comments are like so much belly button lint; interesting but it doesn't serve a purpose.
Unfortunately Facebook et al. take too many liberties and ultimately the only solution is root / jailbreak and remove. The disturbing trend is that any app now seems to believe they have the right to your location data, your contacts and whatever they see fit. Installation permissions usually get clicked with "Hell Yes" and they'll change how they use it when they see fit is buried in the T's and C's of their user agreement which usually says "we can change this whenever we want"
There's a big line being crossed when "targeted advertising" becomes privacy invasion but then again we have the "oooh lookie new iPhone or Android."
I didn't sign up, opt-in or didn't agree to anybody doing this but that doesn't matter does it?

which is why we need to simplify legislation in general to say 50 pages max. No more 2000+ page pieces of shit that nobody can understand with buried crap that slips by without review. These fucking idiots in Congress don't read legislation anyway but if it's at least small enough they can't sneak shit like this onto a bill.
Blah Windows Phone Blah Dead Product Walking. Get an Android yeah it's Google but it's the biggest on the planet in terms of smartphone OS. Why? eventually the EU and the US will say "monopoly" and they'll make Android break away from Google. Win! Win!
Where's the federal funding to make sure that it's a maintained repository? it's a charitable organization but I would think some sort of royalty arrangement should be provided. I mean if the copyright/trademark/patent system is making use of it or the plaintiffs/defendants then it should have some direct funding stream in terms of its value as a provider of information. I could also see litigants subpoenaing witnesses to ascertain how information is collected etc. That doesn't come for free, not by a long shot.
a 90 degree turn to the left then a 360 degree turn. Sounds like the flight control system or one of structural components of the aircraft weren't functioning. I would hate to be one of the passengers or crew on that flight because you know what was going to happen. What caused this will have to wait until the investigation completes or unless one of the N number of terrorist organizations claims responsibility. My bet is on the latter.
Lift 1/2 billion people out of poverty? How so. I realize it's a laudable goal but still I can't see how just having Internet access would do that. Yes people could get online educational access but where's the revenue stream supposed to come? There has to be infrastructure supporting this as well. Call me jaded but I don't think in and of itself would get rid of poverty.
It is is a double standard since most of those wonderful ISIS folks continue to throw gays off of tall buildings. I don't hear of any bakers doing the same. We're focused on the wrong issues in the US because of all the false flags.
powershell -> Remove-AppXPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore_.... still works for me. Of course they'll patch it but the community at large will come up with a mechanism, just like Office Cloud Upload which is #AAF
Sue Snapchat? While it's probably the most misguided app feature in a long time, I'm still not sure how they're culpable for somebody recklessly driving. Did they say "hey go out and snap a selfie going as fast as you can! We'll give you a prize?" What about the car manufacturer, it ultimately was the weapon in the crash or how about the cell phone manufacturer for allowing selfies to be taken while the car is in motion? How about the cellular carriers, they allowed the pic to be transmitted while at speed.
I think this is just a blowhard lawyer looking for deep pockets, Snapchat's lawyers will have this out of court in no time. At least their part in the case. This dipshit who caused the crash should be thrown into a deep hole and covered up with peat.
They said "seat belts would save lives, they did but you had to be responsible to use them." Before that they said "seat belts are unnecessary and presume that our cars are unsafe." Then they said "airbags would save lives and they did but unless you were a kid in the passenger seat." Then they said "we've fixed that so we'll just disable the airbag if you're not heavy enough. Put your kids in the back just be sure they said." Then they said "these airbags can explode and deploy shrapnel they said, so we're recalling them they said."
Then I said "It's been almost two years and mine haven't been replaced, sure the risk is negligible but just like walking down a dark alley at night in a big city, there's always a risk."

And the TSA are merely players on the great stage of Security Theater.

The issue is that it wasn't necessarily the judgment, but all the legal fees that are bankrupting Gawker.
Who cares? Gawker is like huff'npuff post; useless media conduits. TMZ should be shaking in their boots about now.
So, what's the big issue? This guy saw an opportunity to attack an opponent albeit in the shadows.

no, no, and again no. The Police State doesn't need any help.

same here.

Then they said "airbags would save lives and they did but unless you were a kid in the passenger seat."
Then they said "we've fixed that so we'll just disable the airbag if you're not heavy enough. Put your kids in the back just be sure they said."
Then they said "these airbags can explode and deploy shrapnel they said, so we're recalling them they said."

I wonder what they'll say in 10 years?
