People change technology. Technology does not change people.
Uh huh. I always use my gmail system to create a letter, print it to a PDF, print that on my laser printer, take it over to the roll top desk, light some candles, get the quill pen and ink bottle out, and calligraph my "me too" letter, which I then place in a parchment envelope, seal with some wax, get the horse out fo the barn and saddle him, kiss the family goodbye, load up for bear, and trek 15 miles through the woods to the nearest post office, stopping by the general store for a brew each way. Some guy, who doesn't look at all like Kevin Costner, adds it at the post office to his pile, hitches his spare horses in trail, and rides to the other coast, at great risk. There he hands the parchement off to the next outbound freighter, which eventually, through a myriad of events worthy of a Neal Stephenson length novel, eventually delivers said prose to a Mr. Michael Phelps in Beijing China... Dear Michael... great job on the gold medals... watched it all in high def on the flatscreen... thanks for waiting around in China for a month to read my letter (those steam ships sure make life move fast these days, eh)... can't let technology change us you know... please make an effort to not just click send on your emails either, but do it the way we've always done it... thanks...
Why is this Craigslist's problem? There is no requirement that they fight to help you keep your anonymity. If Daniel doesn't like the result of the court's decision, he can hire his own attorney to fight it.
I believe your "choice" of place to live has more bearing on your transportation options than does "necessity".
You choose what's important to you, and I'll choose what's important to me. Where we have a problem is when you think you should be allowed to choose what's important to me.
That's why you use a very secure password with an openid provider with a good reputation - which would probably not be Myspace or the like, but a dedicated openid provider that has been around a while. Some providers allow the used of a signed certificate to facilitate the login - that is you can choose a.really.long.and.damn.near.unguessable.password.that.is.so.long.that.it.is.a.pain.to.type.but.which.you.can.remember.except.when.youre.drunk, and then you use a certificate established between your trusted machine at home and the openid provider, which bypassed the password handshake by exchanging the certificate data automatically.
The openid protocol allows you to limit the information given to the system you're logging into to a minimum of "authenticated" - that is, no additional; information such as a (verified) email address is passed, though one is still required for an openid account establishment. It's up to the requesting system whether that minimal information is sufficient. Of course, your IP address can still be captured unless you use an anonymizing proxy.
so ordering the replacement scrabble letter is not as "good" as buying a whole new game sourced from additional dead trees - box, board, complete set of letters and all?

there's a difference?
they aren't 19 year olds with PhDs who were programming in ASP.NET in kindergarten before it was even created...
...
and yet, I still can't get hired
A good go AI should be able to tell what are good boards and what are bad boards rather than randomly sampling a subset of them.
A good Go method is one that wins - not (necessarily) one that wins the way you would play.
What kind of programmer can't learn a language like COBOL
the kind that you can get for minimum wage
It's just not that hard for the end user to write some application code to handle recurring billing.
I hated the adventure games where you click every item on your inventory...
What is this "click" of which you speak?
they've earned every point of their single-digit approval rating
he's such a mental midget that he only managed to be elected to the office twice!
The Whitehouse's actions affect both our economy and our safety.
... or wag-the-dog action ...
or lack of action
meanwhile the congress enjoys single-digit approval ratings for their gross (in)action.
a single bit?! I think there are some serious design deficiencies ...
and anyone using skype to plan their sleepover party deserves their privacy

The other astronauts have not said there are secret aliens. Is that blunt enough?
with emphasis on the U ...
there's a difference ... ?
It's statistically quite likely that alien life exists
so now it's considered good science to declare a trend from a single data point?
yet none of the several dozen other space travelers have backed him on this ...
My psychic told me the Dr was a fake ...
Now there was a guy that had some interesting quotes ...
