  1. Return to roots? on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, after C++ and Java it's a good idea to actually learn C. It still makes a big part of the world to go around, an it seems hard these days to find programmers who know how to write fast and secure code in C.

  2. Just a couple of references on What Workplace Coding Practices Do You Use? · · Score: 1
  3. Re:No encryption here? on Google Launches Web Traffic Analysis Service · · Score: 1

    You are right, my mistake -- I only tried https, I didn't check the iframe in HTML to confirm the URL. Still, from usability point of view, there should be a note about the secure authentication: some people *do* care about security and unfortunately many web service providers are not as concern as Google about it.

  4. No encryption here? on Google Launches Web Traffic Analysis Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Gmail will force you to use https but if you want to sign in to Google Analytics, you provide the same credentials with no encryption.

  7. Re:I think I'll stick with Slackware for a while on What's The Fastest Growing Linux Distro? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I 've tried RedHat and SuSE but I loved Slackware!
    Its simple but not oversimplified. Its easy, but it doesn't try to do anything. You can configure it in 30mins flat, and if something goes wrong, you DO know what has been done, you cannot blame any not-so-clever-finally configuration utility.
    Oh, and Pat is a really cool guy ;-)

    As someone said: Slackware is for newbies who don't want to remain newbies.
