With all the snoops and thieves out there who aren't from the government, you should be encrypting everything of importance regardless of what happens to the government agencies.
With encryption, the only thing the goobernmint can collect is what they claim is all they want: identification of the end points.
Encryption forces them to approach the provider of the service with a valid warrant in their jurisdiction in order to obtain the data you've transmitted.
Of course with US vs. Microsoft, it's clear the US doesn't understand this concept of "jurisdiction" very well.:(
I fail to see how the "inconsistency" of speech recognition UIs are any more earth-shattering that the inconsistency between graphical UIs. People learn to use what they have, no more, no less. Anyone who "expects" device Y to behave like device X when they're from different vendors is a fool.
Hell, even Android devices aren't consistent between vendors, and they start off with the same core code!
Nothing is ever so simple. There are situations where you *want* POST to reprocess and refresh, such as when presenting statistics for a server. As a result the prototocol doesn't restrict you to one POST per page, and leaves it up to the server programmer to implement request id's to prevent duplicate execution when it needs to be prevented, rather than limiting the protocol to only allowing that behaviour.
Fuck your "freedom of speech." Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. You said it. People heard it. The consequence was that you got your posts pulled and your account locked for being an asshole.
Suck it up, cupcake. Freedom requires responsibility of the individual.
Rick has forgotten that there are many licenses to open source. Back when he lectured at the University of Saskatchewan in the early-mid '80s, there was none of this bitter diatribe about BSD and such that I can recall. He's become old and crotchety.
As long as the source code for the.el component is licensed under the GPL, RMS has gotten all he has a right to ask for through the GPL. If he thinks the GPL is about ensuring no one can ever use code unless they also use the GPL, he needs to revisit his own paragraphs on linking of code.
*sigh*
It's a shame, really. He was such a visionary. Now he's just a ranting old man losing touch with reality.:(
While my migraines aren't making me suicidal, they do give me a lot of sympathy for people who are suffering from more debilitating and painful conditions in the later years of their lives. I can easily imagine a life that is so miserable that I'd want to end it on my terms instead of prolonging it.
I don't want to live much past 65-70 (I'll be 51 in April.) The idea of spending years in a nursing home eating shit for food, bored to tears, and listening to my neighbour tell me for the 40th time about their grandkids visiting last weekend is the most horrific existence I can imagine. So around 60, I'll be filing a "do not resuscitate" order with the local health care system.
I cannot fathom people who go to extreme lengths of diet and exercise in a futile effort to prolong their lives. No one lives forever. You will die, no matter what you do to put it off. Why would you want to exist in suffering for extra years instead of just accepting your exit gracefully while you're still a fully functioning human being?
Aneurism. Heart attack. Hit by a bus. I can't say that I really care how I go -- so long as I don't have to spend those gruel-eating years waiting to stop existing in some horrible nursing home.
Every jurisdiction is different. The US has the strictest pornography laws on the planet, but does little to block web providers of same.
Canada has anti-hate-speech laws that they enforce to take down content. The UK is going full-on Nazi and blocks all kinds of stuff. The Chinese block just about anything and everything their government censors don't like, and Pakistan is even worse. Then you've got Turkey's repressive and blatant blocking of people the government just flat out doesn't like.
But the US is the only jurisdiction that tries to enforce their laws beyond their boundaries instead of just blocking content by pursuing foreign website operators. Kind of flies in the face of "freedom of speech" to shovel MPAA/RIAA diatribes down the throat of the world, doesn't it? You want to host KKK diatribes, anti-Semitic or anti-Muslim claptrap, hey, knock yourself out says the USG. But interfere with out *money* and we'll come down *hard* on you.
Heh. I used to have to wait for them to show up in the used bookstores, where I could afford them. I figure I got about 20 books for the price of 1 by waiting for used instead of buying hard covers as soon as they came out.:)
Thank, you, Sir, for making my high school and university days ever so much more enjoyable by putting out literally hundreds of books for me to read. And thank you to the authors for publishing through those houses, so that I could afford to buy so many.
Unfortunately the damage is already done. The general public has sopped up the National Post's bullshit and lies, and now considers that reeking pile of crap to be true.
Regardless of how minor the surgery may be, I would *never* consent to surgery just to get a job. Never mind to implant a tracking device that remains active outside the workplace.
The employment rates over there must really suck if people are "volunteering" for this.
Fox isn't a "legitimate" news organization in the first place. They're an "infotainment" company, and all they give a shit about is ratings. And if showing content that every legitimate news organization refuses to show will gain them eyeballs, they'll do it, and in fact, did do it.
I thought Apple specifically banned interpretive languages for iOS, such as Java. If it were merely a matter of compiling to the target machine, there are many which could have done so for deploying Java code on iOS with a little bit of porting.

Americans love declaring "wars" on situations and things, or regional/national "emergencies" don't they?
Why all the drama?

That's all we need. Computers with a sense of humour:

You underestimate how many people take print media as gospel, especially from a publication that is *usually* as respectable as the National Post.
Thank, you, Sir, for making my high school and university days ever so much more enjoyable by putting out literally hundreds of books for me to read. And thank you to the authors for publishing through those houses, so that I could afford to buy so many.

Shame on those ratings whores.
Nothing is ever "perfect."
Somehow I doubt the shielding is perfect. Assuming it's perfect is an awfully big assumption.

Publishing a poem is not a conversation. Worse, poetry is expected to be artsy gibberish that would raise red flags in a real conversation.
