Oh look, somebody else who apparently doesn't understand how computers work.
Oh look, someone else who loves to belittle people on the internet who aren't quite as knowledgeable as them. Not very original...
Fine, then: Chrome could at least make it less easy for other programmes to alter its configuration. Can't it monitor its files for externally-applied changes and revert/inform? What about encrypting the configuration on disk (at the cost of inconveniencing the user, or at the very least inconveniencing other programs who want to alter it)?
I'd expect readers of this site to be able to grasp that, but it keeps coming up so maybe not...
Forgive me, oh wise one, for not meeting your lofty expectations. I shall go back and resit the Slashdot entrance exam immediately.
There's really no need to be such a douche to someone for a fairly off-hand comment just because they don't know everything.
NOTE: We split today's video in half, with both halves running right here, today. This way, if you watch the first video and and want to learn more, you can move on to the second one.
Why not split the video into four? Or eight? In fact, why not split it up into individual frames, each one 1/30th or so of a second long and autoplay them one after the other, then I can exercise my free will and stop watching any time I want to because I'm not a gibbering idiot?
Which, depending on the subject, can lead to totally off-topic results
What is off-topic about those results?
The organisation in question's website - which is no longer called the Wisconsin Tourism Federation - comes second in the list, and only because you've used google.de. Use its new name, or use google.com, and it comes top.
Then come back and explain how fewer, and less defined rules will make things safer.
Ask the guy who proved experimentally that it can work. He apparently knows what he's doing when it comes to shared space, which is not simply "removing all the roadsigns" or "making it more like Russia." It's not meant to be applied globally without thought to specific local conditions.
If the same code doesn't "run the same way" (by which I take it to mean produces the same output from the same input) in two different places, then I'd class that as not working.
Slashdot Mirror
Most definitely deliberately ironic.
Why Didn't Voyager Visit Pluto?
Why is this asked as a question, when the summary does in fact have the answer? Why not just headline it thus:
Why Voyager didn't visit Pluto
Then I'd be less likely to mistake it for another speculative piece of guff from a professional blog writer, which we already have plenty of.
The headline begins with "My" and the submitter is...

One could argue that Chrome shouldn't let other programmes change the search provider.

Seems like it's working perfectly to me.

The trial, thought to be a world first, will involve small transfusions of a few teaspoons of synthetic blood
I know it's England, tradition and all that, but wouldn't syringes make the job easier?
If you were a real nerd, you'd know that "Star Wars" is the overarching title for the franchise, and that the first film was called "A New Hope."
I've been noticing more typos on the BBC website lately.

Go team broteam! *fist bumb*
Speaking as a Brit, that typo could have come out a lot worse.
Boy, will their faces be red when they read this.

Yes but this guy obviously didn't consider ego and the Dunning-Kruger effect.
How do you know he didn't? He also went out and performed experiments, and found that shared space can make things safer and more efficient.
I enjoyed this gem:
If you write code for Node and decide it’s better placed in AngularJS, you can move it over with ease, and it's almost certain to run the same way.
Yes, if there's one thing professional programmers (and their PHBs) love, it's code that's almost certain to work.
why 2.5 inch only and not 3.5
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's something to do with the fact that one is physically smaller than the other.
"More space" is by far the least interesting out of a short list of not very interesting upgrades.
The others are: 8% lower power consumption, 10% lower weight. Oh, and a matte finish to the hard drive bay!

No, (my job) is not.

Do you know that to be true, or are you just guessing?
