I see one reason to write clever code - and that's when you try to optimize for performance. But the "hot spots" in code are rare, so in those cases you can get away with it if you put in a decent comment in the code describing why it's done in a particular way.
Multithreading is also a special beast - looks simple, is simple to implement but you really have to watch out if you have shared variables/memory. It can lead to some not so obvious errors!
The issue is not porn sites, the issue is that this censorship also can hurt other sites as well. Some even claims that Collegehumor and 9gag are filtered. So where's the border between a site that's permitted and a site that's blocked?
I can't see that I recognize that problem on my Firefox installation, it looks more like they did have an infected system by some unwanted program/virus/adware.
However I have seen that Microsoft do some strange stuff in some cases when downloading files using the browser from another application. Only way to make it work is to set IE as default browser. I have seen this when using Visual Studio trying to download an update to Visual Studio won't work until browser is set as IE default.
We have already seen that information have been cut off from the search results due to copyright claims or for being "unsafe". This is a slippery slope.
I have the same - an old account for my videos and I have tried to avoid the Google+ account as much as possible, so it's just good that it disappears. One headache less.
Now if Facebook could disappear too.
I don't have any problem with the account verification though - it's just a variant of the 2-factor authentication so don't complain too much, it may prevent you from getting your account hijacked.
Well - it's a disadvantage - and an advantage. But the primary problem is not really the national broadcasters. It's when you actually want to pay for something to view like Netflix - or buy a DVD/BluRay.
National broadcasters can select if they want to provide streams of their shows to other viewers or not. Many countries in Europe have the same system as the UK - public funding.
H.265 is a software solution. Of course you can elect to realize that through hardware gates but you can also realize it through a FPGA or pure software so - software patent problem it is.
I remember when that split happened, I was on a brief visit to HP in Böblingen that day when they went public with the split.
My thought then "Are they brainfucked?".
History reveals that - yes, they were then and haven't become better. No problems with the engineers at HP, they try to perform as well as they can given the conditions but the problem lies within marketing and product strategy - which are following management wishes.
But in any large organization there's bound to grow a lot of dead meat between the layers - people that don't produce anything and just are overhead. But any attempt to cut them off means that they start to sabotage the process of restructuring and put up virtual obstacles everywhere to try to make themselves important.
Well - if you start to push dress code at a work place it's a sure sign of that work place going down. There are more important issues to take care of for HP. And IBM also have serious problems.
At least as long as you dress reasonably well I don't see a problem.

That's why you comment in the code why something is done there.
You found the bug - that's what counts! Never forget that!
That's on par with rebooting the wrong machine.
One memorable one is when someone used Pascal coding in C;
int c='a' - 'z';

And what alternative browser do you think that we shall use that actually supports some of the add-ons that Firefox have?
The fact that Firefox is getting bloated - blame the development of the web, like HTML5 support needed.

If people believes it because it's on the net...

Anyone left outside Oracle that uses Sparc now?
Today it's x86 or ARM that are worth to be concerned about.

Another factor - do you trust the password manager?
I agree, it's probably the most stupid statement ever in a copyright case.
Figure out if there's something that can bring back the flexibility of the lens as well.

This is the disadvantage of software patents.
Also change the rules so that if something becomes a standard you can't charge a royalty for it.
You got to pry the ESD slippers from my cold dead feet before I wear anything but them indoors.
At least I can use ESD safe footwear as an excuse for wearing slippers.
Wearing a headpiece indoors is excusable only if your head looks really bad - from injury or disease.

Another enclosure that should be able to contain a Raspberry Pi is: http://www.clasohlson.com/se/%...
Whatever - the problem is that there's a Microsoft dependency that shouldn't be there.
If the site is strict enough it will just be mental incest on that site.
