If all Internet traffic in and out of Iran is being slowed down, running through a proxy outside of Iran won't help because traffic to and from it will be affected just as much as everything else.
Not necessarily. That is, if the proxy did something like convert rich media to simple ASCII art it would provide a bandwidth savings and perhaps be useful.
Just goes to show you really don't care about all the stupid shit your friends are up to. Why even have a news feed when your friends suck? No I'm not being mean or targeting you specifically; most people are boring as hell.
As another commenter mentioned, it may have been PayPal. It was certainly some sort of financial institution. I still have an old X.com-branded credit card.
There's no car you can buy today where you cannot overpower the engine with full braking force. Try it: stand on the accelerator with your left foot for a while, then stand on the brake. Push both down as hard as you can; your car will slow down and stop.
Of course, you can't see where you're going since you happen to be turned around in your seat!
I second this! I have a couple VM's I use to build binaries (server and workstation flavors) for my other boxes. While not a 486, I do have Gentoo running on a Pentium 133MHz w/ 32MB RAM... and it'll play DVD's (w/ some hardware decoder-card help).
What I wonder is why the designers of DNS put the name in reverse? If the name had been in most-significant-first order, one could have tabcompleted it properly (using history and maybe zonetransfers of smaller zones).
Not only that, but it would go a _long_ way towards preventing phishing scams.
If a programmer needs to use an IDE, as opposed to just using one for convenience, something is very wrong.
Perhaps, but don't draw such a hard line. Time constraints can easily push a "convenience" to the "need" category. Sure we can get everything done in the simplest text editor but an IDE is a big help for things like looking up unfamiliar method signatures.
Ubuntu asks you to restart after upgrades of services. I suspect the other desktop-oriented distributions do the same. Whether you strictly need to is not the point, it's what the system asks you to do.
I did not know that. In that case Ubuntu is broken, for the "convenience" of the user. I don't personally use it and I'm not saying it's such a terrible thing, but that certainly makes clear that Linux distributions are not created equal.
You have to reboot after installing things just as often as you do on Windows or OS X.
Only if you don't know what services need to be restarted. Seriously, just how often are you updating your kernel? That's about the only install that would require a reboot.
Model 12? I must say I had to look that one up, I had never heard of that model before! I have a Model 4 with at least a few copies of TRS-DOS (and many other DOS's as well) though I'm guessing it's not compatible with the Model 12.
var foo = function() {// do some stuff
}
setInterval(foo, 1000);
I've been programming in Java for over 10 years professionally and I've yet to really need your feature request. It could be that it just doesn't fit well in the object-oriented paradigm. For one thing, all functions belong in a class because in Java the Object is king. Objects do/own operations. However something like this might work:
class ContrivedExample {
static void foo() {// do some stuff
}
}// and elsewhere...
setInterval(ContrivedExample.class.getMethod("foo"), 1000);
So your setInterval() function is defined to take a java.lang.reflect.Method instance representing the function to call. This is a bit more laborious than your example, but I feel that in anything more than a contrived use-case there is really a better way to design the solution that fits within the Java way.
Would a real engineer trade the joy of building useful things for the benefits you mention? Some of the qualities you mention are desirable for any job and everyone should strive for (e.g. good social skills) but most of your post came off sounding very vain to me. I don't care how much I could make in marketing, I'm not going to switch.

I'd like to see Google make their far-forward cookie and personalization tracking service be opt-in.
Well if enough sites do it, then we have a good case for the browser to make accepting cookies an opt-in operation (per site?).

you offend Debian!

symbiosis.
I really had nothing more to add to your comment, it sums up my own thoughts very well and I felt it deserving of a reply (albeit a late one).

Thank you, I was waiting for somebody to complain about the "more easier" bit :-)

I can say precisely 0%
You say precisely, but how accurate is that?

+1 Demand. I am not a lawyer.
I'm sorry but in my experience it is better to design first, optimize later.

it is a good way to buy reputation capital...
Reputation capital. Such a great concept. If only we could survive on reputation capital, the world would be a much better place.

Seriously, show me the Java equivalent to:

I prefer the term "USian" if I need a classification distinct from other Americans (Canadians, Mexicans, etc.).
+1 Montana. What part?
Yikes!
