Patrick Stewart's Male Pattern Baldness (androgenetic alopecia) had rendered him mostly bald by age 19. In fact, when he first tried out to for the "Star Trek" part, Stewart wore a wig, but Trek creator Gene Roddenberry nixed it, preferring the bald look. A reporter later goaded Roddenberry, "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century." The Trekkie's comeback? "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care." A TV Guide poll named Stewart "Sexiest Man on Television" in 1992, proving Roddenberry's point four centuries early.
As a sibling mentioned, your analogy is flawed to the point of being ridiculous. The UN is an international body of cooperation between sovereign countries, not a country with states who by definition are not sovereign since they are part of their parent country.
If you can learn to compose well-written proposals and stay relatively positive, you can always do contracting (assuming you have skills that are in demand). Take a look at Guru.com. You'll be bidding against third world countries, but you wouldn't want the sort of employer that would hire them anyway, and there are ones looking for quality over cost.
My entire day job is coding in PHP (and Javascript, and MySQL, and Mongo, and Node, and...). Seems to work well for my company, as well as the dozens of others with whom I've worked.
But keep using whatever's hot right now, it won't affect me one iota.
I've created my own forum software in the past. GP is vastly understating the complexity of modern forum software. That said, I encourage actual web developers to try it as an exercise.
Also, I think GP isn't differentiating between "secure" on the surface when you look at code that you've written, and "secure" against multiple thousands of potential adversaries when a product is used everywhere. They will think of things that you haven't. That's why you get code audited.
Users expect enter to mean submit when they're typing into a single-line text input field. If you're in a textarea, it should give you a line break. Facebook at least makes their textarea look like a plain text input, so I suppose I can't hate on them too much.
It's commented out, so users aren't agreeing to it. No court in the land would argue that users were in actuality agreeing to the HTML source of a click-through EULA. This is hyperbolic bullshit.
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
If you're searching through non-structured text, especially small strings, regular expressions help tremendously. If you're trying to search through structured text like HTML, you should use a parser.
That quote applies but only in certain circumstances; I find that people overuse it.
I don't think that's fair. If the federal government retroactively increased your taxes, I'm pretty sure you'd be pissed too, and probably join / start a class action lawsuit to reverse it.
He said "overzealous" traffic enforcement, and I quite agree. There was a recent article on Slashdot about a cop who had ticketed people texting at a red light, and even people who used their cell phone as a GPS, because it was technically against the law. That's not necessary. The drug war is a whole different thing.
a) If they were really posting this from some sort of "privilege", they wouldn't understand WTF you're talking about. If you're offended by something, explain why. b) It was a joke. Scum? Really? Sensitive much?
Slashdot Mirror
May it cause the powers that be to rethink ending a person's life out of some misguided and ultimately incorrect notion of "deterrence".
Next issue: Making software patents entirely illegal. Math is a public good.
For the record, my parent comment was a theoretical way that they could serve these ads; it has no basis in any known Bell plans that I've read.
so how, exactly, do they intend to serve me ads?
Deep packet inspection + replacement of common ad providers like DoubleClick in third party websites?
Incorrect.

Don't make me bring out Picard.
Oh yeah, I remember when the UN decided that it was a country too! *facepalm*
Go away, George.

Users expect what their UI usually gives them. Break from that pattern at your peril.

Microsoft? Trying to push DRM? Well, I never.
Nah, I just was one once. Unbreakable, isn't.

You also have 24 hours to vacate your apartment.

Wait, so after all the NSA bullshit, he was caught by Canada? Oh, the irony.
That's not going to happen and you know it.
