  3. OMG, the sky is falling..., well, maybe not... on ESA Satellite Shows Sudden Ice Loss In Southern Antarctic Peninsula · · Score: 0

    It's amazing how articles written by the climate change proponents often fail to include important facts like the volcanic activity underneath Antarctica melting the glaciers: http://www.livescience.com/46194-volcanoes-melt-antarctic-glaciers.html/

  4. Re:Prior art on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 0

    The days of needing a warrant to intercept any communications is long over. Witness the gov't prosecution of Ladar Levison (Lavabit) case. The gov't. argued that since inspection of decrypted data was to be carried out by machine, they were exempt from 4th Amendment protection.

  5. If you have nothing to hide... on Obama: Gov't Shouldn't Be Hampered By Encrypted Communications · · Score: 0

    why would you want to hide it? Privacy, such an antiquated concept. Why not just post your paystubs and 1040s on a website, maybe your college transcripts too! Hey Mr. POTUS, about those transcripts... Apparently some animals are more equal than others.

  6. All about supply/demand. Keep the supply of tech workers high and keep the downward pressure on wages. The corporate overlords have had their fair share of failed outsourced projects and now prefer to depress wages in the U.S. by oversupply of tech workers.

  7. Re:rob this person for guns here on New York Pistol Permit Owner List Leaked · · Score: 0

    Exactly right, they'll case the house and when they believe no one is home, break in and steal guns and anything else of value. Releasing this list will have the unintended consequence of putting MORE illegal guns on the street. People should be pressuring the DOJ to pursue this act as vigorously as they did Aaron Schwartz.

    ...and with an automobile an accident often ends up as what? (hint: 35,000 fatalities/year U.S.)

  9. DOJ going to pursue leaker? on New York Pistol Permit Owner List Leaked · · Score: 0

    I'm not going to hold my breath waiting to see if they pursue this leaker the way they did Aaron Schwartz.

  10. How about his own documents? on How Is Obama Doing On Open Government? · · Score: 0

    Maybe Obama's Open Government should start with some documents of his own.

  11. 30-40ksloc can be big! on Learning and Maintaining a Large Inherited Codebase? · · Score: 1

    I've maintained code in the 30-40Kloc range that was "large" and really sucked to understand. Fix one bug, create two new ones. I maintain one such code base still, most modules have a McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity of over 100. Can't refactor/rewrite/redesign, management won't approve it. The original authors are long gone. I embed lots of debug in the code and turn on the debug output on sections that I'm working on.
