Which probably means it's not quite mature yet. I'm not saying it doesn't work. It may. It may end up being the solution. But for now, it's not a viable option. I don't see any country dumping everything else and going that route, at least for now.
Not counting that the global warming will melt all the glaciers so rivers may not be as powerful in a not so long future.
There are plenty (and really plenty) of alternatives. It's just that they are either not a replacement (solar, wind) or not mature enough or not applicable on a global scale (geothermal energy).
Until we can store enough energy to power an entire city for several days, wind and solar are out of the question. I mean, they can provide power, but not all the time, so you still need a reliable source of power around.
Hydro is already in use and do kill way more people than nuclear power and basically suffers from the same flaw: Too much energy stored in one place. When a dam breaks, it sometimes kills in the hundreds of thousands and wipe out a HUGE area.
geothermal is all nice, but it only works in those two or three places around the globe. Try to power Europe with geothermal power...
Whether you like it or not, nuclear is the only answer that works today.
Well, Slashdot again. The law doesn't state that passwords should be stored in clear text. It doesn't even states that passwords should be retrieved. It states that passwords or means to validate them (hashes) should be stored for ONE year after accounts are closed.
Slashdot is more and more about wild guesses and wishful thinking real news. This one is just plain wrong. I am already starting to consider everything on slashdot as being de-facto wrong.
I didn't say anything for morality. I didn't protect anything. I am trying to explain that in regard of the law infringing copyright DOES deprive someone of something. Period.
Who decides that by buying an object I own it? The law. Who decides that by writing a song I can choose how to distribute it? The law.
In this regard, shoplifting and copyright infringement are equivalent. They deprive the "victim" of something the law gave them.
Morality is your ground, and it is a shaky ground. Good luck with this.
TDD has some of the same weaknesses as commenting. Adding comments like "// begin for loop" and "// end for loop" make some people feel like they're commenting their code, without actually doing so to any useful effect. Developing trivial tests which verify nothing useful is an easy way to let you pretend you're doing TDD without actually spending enough effort to be effective.
True, but TDD has a big strength over comments: When outdated they fail and so you can update them / clean them up. Of course, testing complex stuff is needed, trivial crap (usually) is useless.
While I agree in general with your post, I disagree on TDD. Sure, they're no magic silver bullet, but they admitedly add robustness to your code so that when you do some refactoring later on you will be notified if/when you break something obvious. Of course, tricky bugs are tricky bugs and they won't disapear overnight.
However, they do take some time to write and maintain.
That said, rereading the end of your post, I'm kind of implementing my unit tests as if they were interface level tests. Testing String.replace() doesn't make sense to me.
IIRC, the POST keyword in the http request is encrypted as well. EVERYTHING is encrypted. How can you tell if it's a file? I mean, everything is a stream of bits. Encrypted in https how can you tell the difference?
You really didn't get it do you? If the LAW gave the electrician EXCLUSIVITY to your living room wiring then you deprive him when doing it yourself. Same with Coke which does not have exclusivity for anything, or the computer manufacturer.
What I am asserting is that if society as a whole has given exclusivity to someone to do something, by doing it yourself you "steal" what society has given him - naming the exclusivity on that thing.
You may want to change the law on this, but until then, you are clearly stealing something from the copyright owners when you download on Torrent/Mule/LimeWire, etc.
I lose patience writing this over and over again myself.
A shoplifter deprives the store of property, which it then is unable to sell. A person who downloads unlicensed media deprives the copyright holder of his right to distribute his good according to his own terms, which is the right granted by the copyright he holds.
See? Same thing, really. By taking without asking you deprive both.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you aware that there are languages other than English?
Whose are they? I don't think the slashdot crowd caters for third-world countries.
"first forking" are not two words meant to be used so close to one another. Now I've got this image in my mind...
I don't think chess can be the best fit for everyone.
Do you really think anything could be the best fit for everyone?
Unfortunately I only have German links:

I only used it to transfer data between my HP 48SX and my PC at the time.

Chernobyl was more like a nuclear bomb than a dirty bomb, wouldn't you say?
Actually, this version made me laugh! Only on RSS feeds to you get down to the guts of the real April's fool.
What exactly did you enjoy "as a reputable information source"? Slashdot?
I'm waiting for the April Fools...
It looks like you're already there.

At least, you know someone is (or could be) listening . That's already something valuable.
Ah yes, you need the proxy cert in all your browsers. Short of that, it can't work.

Yes, but who fucking care of your interpretation of the word "stealing" ?

William Shatner can't be 80 - that would mean I'm no longer young.
You're not alone. Ane you're no longer young.
Happy Birthday, mykey2k!
Ok. Are we done now? I've got errands to run.
These websites are not intended to be accessed through https. So no need for a CA since nobody sees this.
That said, can you point me to a free CA whose root cert is in at least some stock browsers?
Tech nitpicking aside, I host a few websites on the same tomcat instance. All https work well in any known browser to me for every website.
Try https://pieroxy.net/ and https://ieai.pieroxy.net/
If you see a different picture, it works.
Note: I use a self signed cert.
Issue #4 works fine for me on any browser and Tomcat 5.5. I don't see an issue.
As a side note, your resume doesn't work on your website.
