G+ has millions of users and rising, including Wil Wheaton.:-) I prefer its interface to Facebook's. I'm not sure why Google would "give it up as a failed venture".
Yep. Obama is becoming the king of hypocrisy. I'm not sure my conscience would allow me to praise the life of Nelson Mandela in taking a stand against a government that was tyrannical and morally wrong while persecuting Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning (among others).
For me (in the UK) it resovles to 23.74.87.205, but the connection gets reset if I try to load the web page. Tried proxying through my US server, and the page loads. Looks like they don't want non-US IP addresses!
Am I the only one thinking that Google are basically making Chrome into another VM? Its "apps" are programs that the Chrome VM can run, JavaScript is the main language you use to code stuff for it, but that can even be compiled into obscured JS which is about as readable as bytecode (or less), the DOM is the mechanism you use to create the UI, etc. Apart from being arguably faster, what are the fundamental differences between what Google wants Chrome to be, and Java?
Computer engines like Stockfish win, hands down. In fact I was running Stockfish analysis alongside some of the games and within seconds it had identified bad moves, like when Anand failed to take a pawn, or when he moved a rook instead of a pawn that allowed Carlsen to win instead of draw. Deep Blue was on the erge of being better than humans - 10 years later, chess engines are miles better than humans.
It's also good communication to point out when things are working well. Ie, don't leave the boss wondering what's going on.
What about the boss actually coming to you and asking what's going on? I mean aren't managers paid to do that? What should I do if I ever become a manager, just sit back and wait for people to come to me?
Palemoon's OK but being Windows only it's not quite right for me. I'd probably use it over Firefox if SeaMonkey wasn't available, except on Linux obviously.
The other thing about Palemoon is it all rests on basically one guy who develops it, as far as I can see. I don't know whether it's more or less likely to survive than SeaMonkey but it's risky to throw in with a project that could die any day if the one guy who develops it disappears.:-)
By the way, I'm working on a patch to make fork SeaMonkey's find bar code back to the old find bar so it's no longer reliant on the stuff in/toolkit/. Time will tell whether it gets accepted.
Never mind giving their password to an admin, you'd be amazed how many systems I've worked with through the years where the password is simply stored in plaintext. "So we can read users' passwords?", I ask. "Yes. So what? It's useful to remind them over the phone if they forget it."
These devs also don't quite seem to understand why I store password hashes instead of plaintext passwords...

"Cats have been part of human society for nearly 10,000 years, but they weren't always string-chasers and lap-sitters.
If you believe in evolution, this isn't exactly news.
No tablet interface shoehorned onto your desktop because Steve Ballmer says so...
The problem is overpopulation. The solution to which is pretty simple: stop shitting out kids.
What part of the world do you live in? That doesn't happen here.
In the time that you posted that comment, Firefox versions 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, and 44 were released.
Fen-Phen also worked, but apparently caused cardiac issues, resulting in lawsuits and legal damages of over $13B USD.
Why take diet pills when you can enjoy AYDS?

No, that's just Opera.
Any creature which competes with humans for the resources it need to survive that does not have economic value to humans WILL go extinct
What about all the creatures we try to keep around for the sake of biodiversity like rhinos, elephants, birds of prey, etc.?

This is exactly why it's the only government in the world I'd trust to obey the law.
Give me a break. If the US govt. doesn't like international law, it ignores it.
Yep, they're all moldy.
Doesn't the RECEIVER pay half the call cost in the US? Crazy system to me, but that's how I heard they do it...

You mean vastly overestimate.

Yep. Switch to SeaMonkey.
By the way, I'm working on a patch to make fork SeaMonkey's find bar code back to the old find bar so it's no longer reliant on the stuff in /toolkit/. Time will tell whether it gets accepted.
At this point, no "good" geek would work for the NSA.

I wish. They used to have that but they took them down. Now presumably I'm expected to stop for those pesky pedestrians.
What do you think about using integral fast reactors like PRISMs?
Nuclear power isn't reliable? Where do you get that idea, with modern nuke plants?
That "exec" line isn't obvious. What do the -Xms and -Xmx args do? I can't even seem to find a manpage on 'exec' apart from the C function one.
