I have a couple of pipes that I use as filters, and they get wedged all the time (one of the feeds starts on feedburner, so my initial guess is that there is no problem with pulling that feed, but I haven't dug into it, the feeds aren't real important).
The worst phone company is always either the one that someone just had, or the one that they currently have. I don't think there are any that are particularly good (these statements are generally more true in places with poor regulation of the industry).
I'm not sure Taco would endorse complaining to their isps, and I'm not sure anyone else (other than/. admins, not just Taco, all of them) have much ability to trace anonymous comments.
You haven't addressed the part where document.all needs to return a special collection type that breaks the object model in several different contexts (when passed to toBoolean, it should evaluate to false, which breaks the object model, and there are a couple of contexts where it should evaluate to undefined...).
Array(5000) will create an array with 5000 empty slots, so it isn't that surprising that deleting the object stored at a particular location doesn't alter the array.
I don't really contest any of that, I just think that "We'd be fucked, as a species." is an absurd, emotional overstatement of what would actually have happened (thus my arguments are centered around pointing out that we would not be in trouble as a species).
I was just making an additional counter argument; if someone had patented math in Europe, people somewhere else in the world probably would have ignored those patents, and no disaster would have happened for humanity, just for Europe.
Well, I guess we disagree. It is a bit of a tautology though, that the only system that will survive is a tenable system, so we are mostly worrying about what will be better, not what will avoid disaster (for instance, the status quo is that China, internally, pretty much ignores our patent system; making it more controlling will only increase that effect, and making it freer might not really lessen it any, so the worst case is that the U.S. drops off the face of global innovation, not that human innovation ceases).
Reality doesn't really define math (as long as a set of axioms are internally consistent, you can pretty much call it math; the set of axioms that describes reality well happens to be extra useful...).
If calculus had been patented, the patent would also have expired something like 300 years ago. And there would probably be extensive cross licensing, like in the microprocessor world.
I'm not saying that software patents are a good thing or that current patent law makes sense, I'm just pointing out that your argument is histrionic.
The complaint reads like the complainer is hoping there is some legal lever they can pull so that they can keep the client but also point to a rule that requires that they be paid for the extra time.
I sure wouldn't keep working for somebody if I thought they were making crazy demands (there are always lots of exigent circumstances in such situations, but damn it, when I say 'keep working for somebody', I don't necessarily mean I would quit right away, but at a minimum I sure would start looking for something else, and if the demand was unreasonable enough...).
Adding geographic information is certainly part of augmented reality, it gives you more data to overlay on a particular reality; your lack of a decent viewer for the data doesn't change that.

They download quickly over a modem and have their own volume slider in the mixer.
They don't think of people as customers, they think of them as monthly revenue that hassles them for services.

Is it okay if sometimes the program doesn't do anything useful with the input?
Yes, but your implementation completely fails to address the html5 specification, which is the issue, not that the lookup hides an expensive call.
It doesn't bother me much, lots of problems from school involved modeling the environment as a magic line.
I bet you use Windows.

You left out some retardedness, there are plenty more 's' characters there that you could mindlessly change to '$'.

Understand the example...
No, not really. Probably not even half of us yet.
That makes Javascript its own grandfather!

You should tell your dad to keep his cumulo out of your nimbus.

The fact that they haven't done it yet sort of implies that they are making money providing them service.

It seems to happen from time to time. I figure it is people 'protesting' something to do with the moderation system.
Here's a positive spin: Do you really want people to think that you are the same person you were 10 years ago?
