There's a super secret high-tech black box invented by the ancient g(r)eeks that is designed to protect your freedoms. It's regular, educated use will prevent survellience. I suggest everyone learn to use one.

Cars and SUVs cost what people are willing to pay. Period. That's the only justification for the price. If you think the price of a vehicle is stronly correlated with the labor and materials that went into making it, then I have a bridge you might be interested in...
The submitter wants to buy a "Windows server." Exactly who besides Microsoft can sell him one of those?
He wants a Windows Server. He doesn't need a Windows Server. If he doesn't like the licensing terms, he can talk to Microsoft, or buy something else that will fulfill the actual business needs of his organization. For all I know, that might be ten thousand clerks with filing cabinets and pneumatic tubes sitting in his basement.
Or, maybe he can get by with a pony. Lord knows, I've always wanted a pony.
Think how different it might have been today... if only some of the big unix vendors back then had thought: Gee, lets push our operating system as a general purpose desktop system.
Like, Microsoft Xenix?
Or, the AT&T Unix PC?
Or, AUX on a 680x0 Macintosh?
Or, NeXTStep?
Or, Sun Workstations?
Yeah... it would have been real different if any of the above had existed twenty years ago. But, I guess we can only imagine...

That's complete nonsense. The.xxx domain wasn't blocked by puritanical Americans. In fact, they're the only people who think a.xxx domain is a good idea. The.xxx domain was blocked by people who don't trust the puritanical American's motivations.
There are a large number of Americans who believe that any depiction of nudity is pornography, who object to basic sexual education, and who believe that anything other than monogamous heterosexual sex is morally wrong. Those are the people pushing for the.xxx domain. But, people who are offended by a half-second flash of a nipple during the superbowl, or a sex mini-game in GTA, don't just want "www.ass-bangers.xxx". They also want "www.planned-parenthood.xxx", "www.breast-cancer-research.xxx", "www.people-with-tatoos.xxx", and even "www.fark.xxx".
If you think.xxx is a good idea, you haven't been paying any attention at all to the American political landscap in the last 30 years.
Oops... actually, there's a very strong correleation between the number of articles and the quantity of articles. However, there's no correlation between the quality of articles and the quantity of articles.
There were 10 hours and 26 minutes between front page posts.
Given a choice between a few articles of high quality and many articles of low quality, I'd take fewer articles.
Of course, that's a false choice, in two senses. First, there's no correlation between the number of articles and the quantity of articles. Second, it's not a choice Slashdot offers.
Another dev was discussing the DataLoad method. Which loaded a flat CSV file... And validated the data... And stored the result in a database.
In my experience, that kind of code is usually called from the constructor of a class called "HashTable".
That constructor will also store an open database connection in an untyped global variable.
The "Encrypt()" method in an unrelated class will use the database connection, close it, open a file, and leave the handle in the same global variable.
The file handle will be used elsewhere, and only close on program exit.
The above described methods will be executed from conditional statements in two two different scopes, based on values in a database table.
The order the rows are returned from the database table will depend on a database index.

I closed my laptop clamshell, waited for the disk to stop spinning, and then re-opened it. Here's what happened:
1. I had to hit the power button to wake it up. 2. It took about two to four seconds to re-display the screen. 3. I had to hit ctrl-alt-delete, and type in my password.
So no... it's absolutely nothing at all like a mac laptop. Still, it's much better than laptops before WinXP, which would often simply crash when opened.

Are nerds into hollywood gossip and drivel now days?
I don't know about all nerds. But it's clear the editors think men with big penises running around in tights is "stuff that matters."

Remember way back twenty years ago when things like a Mac cost $2500?
No. I remember 20 years ago when a Mac Plus with a second floppy drive and a dot-matrix printer cost like $5,000 though.
I think you could buy a 20 mb hard drive for about $2,500. Maybe that's what you were thinking of.

You're confused. You assume that dumb interfaces are simple, and smart interfaces are complex. In fact, the opposite is almost always true.
I take a similar stance on "Y'all", because English doesn't otherwise have a third-person plural pronoun.
English has a perfectly good third-person plural pronoun: they.
Y'all is second person.

That would be the "IDispoable" interface and the "using" statement in c#.
