I think the rationale behind that one is that the site was made before rails was ready for prime time, and afterwards there was no compelling reason for a rewrite.
Even if (just a hypothesis) gravity waves reaches here at the instant it happened, it means that it is not detectable, since if we can detect it, it means information travelled at more than the speed of light.
Alternatively, it could mean that no information can travel at more than the speed of light, except in the form of gravity waves.
I mean, shouldn't "No Information can travel at the speed more than that of light" really be "There's no known mechanism by which information can travel at a speed more than that of light"?
What's more, people who have experienced REAL suffering, unlike my ridiculously small amounts by comparison, are shown to have far more compassion than those who have not.
Shown by whom exactly? Sure, there are people who manage to forgive the killers of their children, their rapists, etc, but as far as I can tell, they're a minority.
To imply that their compassion makes their suffering worthwhile is, for me at least, too far a stretch. Particularly since it's the very existence of misery that makes compassion a necessity.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your argument, as long as it's applied to something as trivial as a coat being stolen or a scratch on a car. I just don't think it can be extended towards real issues. Particularly since it's hard to be compassionate when you're dead.
Your story hinged on the fact that the thief might need the coat more than you, and that some people might have it worse than you. How does that line of reasoning work with murder, genocide, war, etc.? Does someone need your life more than you do?
There's a big difference between having your coat stolen, and any number of examples of *actual* suffering (insert your favorite war, genocide or natural disaster)

Weight has nothing to with it.
That's what the parent says: the correct driver caused only the software to crash. The buggy (beta) driver caused the system to crash.
But do they try to stop people from showing up on every flight they booked?
That's what the ISPs are doing.
78% of the US population lives in urban areas (2003)
f
42% lives in urban areas with more than 1 million people (2005)
compared to Italy (67%/20%), Spain (78%/23%) and Norway (76%/?), it doesn't look like there's an inherent disadvantage.

Sounds perfectly pragmatic to me.
if it's homemade porn, just put it on p2p with a memorable and unique filename, and it will float around for all eternity.

Indeed.
If your Internet connection happens to lose a bit of CSS data, you get a mess on your screen.
No shit, Sherlock!
Seriously, I stopped reading at that sentence. I cannot take someone who writes garbage like that seriously.
yes, it's called "nul"
Java is more difficult on Windows?
If all you know is Windows 98, how can you judge the difficulty involved in doing tasks with Windows XP/2003?
People, people, you got it all wrong.
The reaction is: Earth+Fire=Air.
Don't they teach proper alchemy anymore?
I think he means per-query permissions, so he doesn't have to use a separate user for select and insert/update queries.
vnc authentication is not plain text, but anything you do over it (like logging in to your account) is.
Then why would he claim he saw secret stuff at all?
What exactly am I looking for here? I see lots of pictures of holes in the ground.
You might need to lighten up. Not everything anyone ever does needs to be 100% productive to society, you know. Posting on slashdot comes to mind.
follow it with mkdir c:\windows\system32\verclsid.exe then.
Would they create uncrashable cars if they were benevolent and omnipotent?

If you think it's so lame, how would you rationalize the existence of suffering, given an benevolent, omnipotent being?
What's with the use of the word "of" instead of "have"?
It makes me cringe, and English isn't even my native language...
