If there's one set of people I'm glad I didn't learn all my morality from, it's my parents.
I mean, some things they taught were brilliant. But a lot of what was going round in their heads... oh boy, anyone would think they were just a pair of average humans.
My grand ideological vision involves everything being tokenised, so anybody can see any code in any way they like, and use whatever naming style they want.
The canonical representation looks something like LISP, of course;).
I blame CamelCase for most Windows security problems. I swear the bumpiness of the function name distracts the mind from thinking properly about argument checking.
That's third world style boom: little enclaves of western style affluence. And the prices would be familiar (or cheap!) to anyone living in the south-east of England.
Assuming this isn't a hoax, feathers successfully ruffled.
How often does GCHQ make an official statement in response to some random guys on the Internet claiming that they overstepped their bounds? It's surely not setting a precedent, so why has it respnded to this one?

IDK. Royal Mail have got worse and worse as competition has increased in the UK.
Although that's partly because much of the postal service in the UK has already been privatised, and RM have been required to perform the unprofitable parts of mail delvery for other providers.
The coup de grace was suddenly allowing prices to shoot up earlier this year, then selling off the remainder in the last few weeks.
The UK will no have no postal service. Which is weird.
USPS are quite brilliant. When I ran some e-commerce thing in the US, most of our stuff was shipped by USPS. Yeah, they had the "government operative" mindset, which means they're quite officious, but you know what? that's bloody nice, as it means providing you do what you're supposed to do, you'll get exactly what you've been promised in return. Value system based on duty rather than profit.
(That was nearly a decade ago. Maybe things have changed radically since?)

So you're carrying the same thing in both hands.

You teach anyone those things, they'll become socialists.
The thing is that most of the "bad effects" of alcohol, e.g. lapsing judgment, are also the "good effects". It's all about context.
Yeah on that basis we could just replace the whole of Slashdot with, "Google for recent news then ramble angrily for a while somewhere."

Leaking less than background radiation - u wot m8? So Fukushima is actually an isotope cleanser?
Man, you need to get these guys to hire you for PR.

Could you explain this scheduling issue more precisely, please. What common insoluble problem justifies the "very much inferior" label?

Works for me, but then Windows isn't the default grub entry.
(I kid - XP is actually all right. Which explains why Microsoft are getting rid of it in a few months.)
It's still the Advanced Passenger Train to me.
Let the train take the strain.

AC is a veteran? Core Wars excepted.
Definitely security buzzword bingo:

We get it, dude, you find buffer overflows and stuff. You're not a surgeon.
For heaven's sake man, don't stop drinking! That sort of memory can't be endured sober.
But enough about Ayn Rand/Jimi Hendrix...

I think I misread as GCHQ randomly responding to the article, but it could have been responding to an RFI.

Yeah stupid regulations can be (and are) imposed on private carriers too, you know.

Forcing people to compete by breaking them up is even more sadistic than simply making it hard for them to cooperate. When will this religion end?
