Javascript is great because a dummy could get into it and actually make something, but I suspect because its this low learning curve is not "geeky" enough for some folks. Javascript is in the same boat with HTML, its just "too easy and loose". If that mentality had persisted, the internet would not be what it is today. We will be stuck in a geek paradise with less than 1000 websites all about the latest fork of linux but they would be happy because we are using C++ to code LOLCATS.
That's not how I would characterize greatness. But compared to C++ I'd rather have JavaScript or Python be the language to use for web sites (no, I did not overlook Perl).
I happen to believe we need more than one language. Let one be the easy to use language for both idiots (will never grow beyond this) and newbies (some day they will know how to really code). Let another be for serious website design. If the first is a proper subset of the second should be the big question. Leading people to believe they are doing things right (because it works) is what is wrong. But it's also hard to teach correct programming if they can't see some working progress to keep their interest.
Sadly, the language (C) I use most is victim to this. It's quite possible for a newbie to start with C and have hello world running in an hour after reading a few chapters. The thinking that will result mis-prepares one for what C really is (an awful mess of pedantic definitions just to achieve portability... though C++ is worse). I'd rather have something better, especially for web and mobile app design. Javascript can do it, but it would be better if a few things were fixed. I'd go with Pike or Python for serious scaled designs. There may be use for languages like Dart and Go (but I have not evaluated them).
Who made the assumption that isotropic is obvious? Gravitation in rotation has always tended toward a common plane. So this would have been my assumption.
I'm not a gamer, but I would still like to boycott Sony for this stupidity. The problem is, I can't. I'm already boycotting Sony for other previous acts of stupidity, such as, but not limited to, it's rootkit.
Nothing has changed with regard to them being able to sue you. What has changed is that you now have a better body of case law to draw on. You better have that attorney ready.
Using money to abuse the system, and abuse consumers, is what is wrong. And the OWS movement did focus on that, despite so many members being so completely ignorant about it. But in a way that shows the problem. Most people ARE ignorant about these things. Most people are ignorant about computers, so many of those who are not so ignorant end up trying to make computers easier to use. We don't seem to get that out of the legal system (legislative and judicial). This unfairness is just out of place in modern society and so it need to be outlawed.
I don't know WHY our legal system is so faulty, but it is. NO ONE (and ONE includes any business) should be subjected to costs because someone else just happens to disagree. If someone sues YOU and in order to defend yourself, you need to hire attorney(s) at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars (which for some people can wipe them out, financially), wouldn't you want the other party to cover your costs? I most certainly would. Maybe for Amazon the multi-million dollar cost of this suit is a minor amount. But for many people, even just a ten thousand dollar lawsuit can be most of what they have.
This is one reason lots of people don't even show up in court when sued. This is one reason the courts end up with so many bad judgments because they always favor the party that showed up.
This is just wrong because it is very unfair.
But even having the losing party pay doesn't always work, and it doesn't do a very good job of making things fair.
I propose the following. Create a litigation finance pool that is covered through corporate taxes (without any loopholes). Every corporation or other business pays into this pool. When they are involved in litigation, it gets covered by this pool. Yes, I know this is so open for abuses, so it most certainly needs to be very strictly monitored. The winner gets their legal costs covered from the pool. The loser does not.
The above applies to all cases involving a business on either side. A separate pool funded through a wider tax base is for people to people cases. This is not a perfect solution. But what we have now is certainly not perfect, either, and is actually worse.
... the prime example of why gun registration, carry permits, etc, need to NOT be public information... or just entirely outlawed.
I'm not against making some improvements to gun laws to make sure certain people should NOT have guns. But this action by this utterly stupid newspaper and its utterly stupid editor basically just destroyed the efforts to come to an agreeable improvement. But I will defend their 1st amendment right to be stupid.
You are hiding behind "Anonymous Cowards" because you have no clue what "well regulated" means, as the term was used in the days the Bill of Rights was written. Ever hear of "the regulars"?
.. simply because REPUBLICANS have sabotaged it. The FAA, for example, does not have the funding it needs to really research this. So caution in favor of people's lives is the only remaining choice. Just look where this article is from.
I once caught a perfect video shot of someone making a clearly illegal action AND the plate number was clear, too. I gave it to the police who said they could do nothing because the driver's face was not visible. WTF! Charge the OWNER and let them make their claim it was someone else (stolen, loaned, whatever). But that was in Ohio (just visiting) and they have some crazy laws there.
The SSH design of how keys are actually handled is part of the problem. This design makes things harder for key management. The first is that the ssh daemon wants to only look at one file. It should provide for a way to keep the files separate so it is not necessary to rebuild the authorized_keys file. Have a directory where keys can be stored with multiple keys per file. Provide an option to allow the user to configure which key files are active (choose whether not executable or not world readable is the flag).
Netflix has still not deployed any redundancy operations within AWS (e.g. multiple regions). AWS us-east-1 does seem to be less stable than others... maybe because Netflix is soaking it dry? Or is it Netflix's doom to be using us-east-1.

We're 60 percent water. Maybe it will repel us.
Yeah, but he's doing it HIS OWN WAY. He's NOT doing it the REPUBLICAN WAY. And that is pissing off most of the Republicans. OTOH, they need that.

No, it is not write-only. It can be read, too. The trouble with Perl is that between writing and reading, information is lost.
White is a minority.

But do they even have an ass to be bitten on?

Frivolous lawsuits need to result in jail time.

The Constitution also mentions people in other places, like those who vote for senators. Being a member of the militia back them (and now) is BYOG.

But the real question is what their IPv6 address range is. We need to know now since packets will take so long.
They also work with Debian, Slackware, and Ubuntu (as long as you're not working with too old a kernel).
When some motherboard maker is doing stuff like reporting device types all wrong, they need to be outed.
You mean it takes a Pi (as breakout box) to make the mini PC do useful stuff?
How would that be any better? It doesn't know how to figure out which keys to get. And it still has to rewrite the whole file.

Which is the more evil? Just advertising? Or stealing person info and selling it, or placing ads based on it?
