Software doesn't hate black people. Software doesn't dislike Islam. Software doesn't think kids these days need to pull their damned pants up and stop playing that crap music too loudly.
A software is not that naive. Software is made by people who might want to give some orientation to the way the software works. It's a software. But it's still made by human beings, and in an ideal world the software ratio malice / incompetence would have to be determined precisely prior to delivering any conclusion.
it's really just a matter of Apple deciding to deliberately cripple the browser to prevent people from providing apps for free.
And other browsers as well... Safari is an Apple app, installed and updated from the iOS installations and as such has an unfair advantage in terms of OS resources. Just use and compare Safari and Chrome on the iPhone...
Don't underestimate CSS complexity. It took more than 10 years of tireless work from the part of Microsoft to deliver a browser blessed with a decent rendering.
The most complex program running on a machine is arguably its OS, especially the kernel. Linux (kernel) reached the top level in terms of performance, reliability and versatility. You have been criticized quite a few times for some virulent mails addressed to developers. Do you think Linux would be where it is without managing the project with an iron fist? To go further, do you think some other main OSS project would beneficiate from a more rigorous management approach?
Google indeed does customize you search phrase to keep and change what He thinks is better for your needs. And indeed, adding double quotes around the words / expressions you want want Him to include does help. And, indeed, this is sometimes utterly annoying.
This being said, however, I'm usually impressed by the quality of the search algorithm, by the quality of the words and expressions synonyms Google injects into the search to give you even more relevant results. Try to use another SE for a couple of days...
And regarding your languages problems, maybe try to sign in, then visit the "Search settings" page...
I think/. moderation is a necessary and pretty good method to help the reader focus on the best posts. However, besides mods, who reads the -1 and even 0 rated posts? Typically the posts TS likes to read end up rated <= 0. Hiding information is a kind of censorship - while, again, this is necessary here, for our own reading comfort.
Nowadays to be part of a Java project you have to speak not only Java, but all the vertical and horizontal layers that are the frameworks. Spring, Struts, Hibernate, Spark, Tapestry..........

Because TFS writer is too lazy to read TFA.

if all you know is stuff like Java/C/C++, you're going to be unhireable after the age of 50
Hu... I'm safe using PHP!
It was in Perl:
./update-all-3500-servers-at-once.pl
one line.

No, because you would die.
Why "No"?
Slashdot really needs a "Ironic" mod.
That would be a +1 or -1?
Homeopathy works the way religion works. If you believe in it, that is.
And literacy...
Not if you use "OK Google" Voice search.
Slashdot supports Unicode / UTF8 from 0x20 to 0x7F.
Unicode adds support for new languages like Ik, used in Uganda
Now Uganda needs computers to see what Unicode looks like.
If you are already very rich then London can be nice
Incidentally, the Wikipedia donation campaign is currently underway.

And everybody in the whole world is part of the conspiracy. Except you.
The proof.

Yes, but you get to be censored not by the EU, but by the /. moderators.
Not used to /. css yet?
This looks like the server rooms of 1970. In 40 years all of this will take the space in a pocket at most.
That was on top of all the Adobe Omniture garbage.
That makes an awfully expensive garbage!
My iPhone 6+ lasts 4 days when reasonably used.

Does it mean that even clever people may need some virile exercise, or does it mean, as TFA suggests, that NFL players are all retarded?
