if you don't want Google to know something, don't tell them. The same goes for the rest of the internet.
Okay, but that stops collaboration in the cloud dead, doesn't it? You want privacy for more than protecting yourself against law enforcement or looking good in the eyes of potential employers. You want privacy for protecting your work-in-progress from competitors. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Okay, then, that means no product development discussion on Wave. Whatever.
...since Palm mentions muPDF in their documentation, and they don't have a commercial license for it. Anyone in the software industry, anyone using libraries they didn't write, should understand that there's a difference between "open source" and "public domain."
Well, if the GPL wasn't a bullshit license which states that you're subject to the GPL if you even use GPL software in your project
The GPL is for open source software whose authors wish to encourage the development of open source software. If you're not writing open source software, you look for another solution or write it your damn self. If you ARE writing open source software, it's not a bullshit license.
...write an unpleasant experience with an odor? Okay, I know it's just a stupid fly, but why not write a nice, pleasant experience with an odor that usually doesn't attract flies? They only live for a few hours, why fill their heads with bad things that didn't really happen?
...when you're trying to expose unethical behavior or deceptive practices, the phrase "a well-known online computer component shop" is hollow and flaccid.
it's a cunning ploy to show how idiotic Patents are in this day-and-age.
Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. . . We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
I almost always have that pang of disappointment when I go back and read something that I once found funny. The Hitchhiker's series wasn't an exception. That doesn't make it un-funny; nothing is ever funny more than once*. The ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42. That's actually pretty funny. I'm not sitting here laughing at it right now, but its funny.
TFA never really addresses whether it's actually "good" or "worth reading." Or if somebody who enjoyed following the characters (indeed, even enjoyed watching how they faced death) would enjoy catching up. Colfer can accomplish these things without being funny.
* Except for Dr. Evil dramatically demanding "one million dollars" as ransom for the planet.
Bringsjord calls E's appearance "a meaner version" of the character Mr. Perry in the 1989 movie Dead Poets Society.
A.k.a. the dad on That 70's Show? What the hell does "meaner version of" mean? Here it means "much younger, with more hair, a more prominent brow line, and a way smaller nose, bearing almost no resemblance to."
So, a drug-sniffing dog and a bomb-sniffing dog are having a drink after work, talking a little shop. Drug-sniffing dog whispers, "Hey, see that woman over there? She's got a gram of cocaine in her purse."
Bomb-sniffing dog says, "See that man over at the bar, the one with the duck on his head? He's about to have a really bad day."
I love the correlationisnotcausation tag every single time an article on any study is posted.
I thought that applied largely to this sentence from the summary:
What was more surprising is that exposure to the juvenile justice system seemed to increase the chance that the boy would engage in criminal activity as a young adult.
Okay, so people who committed crimes as children are more likely to commit crimes as adults. It seems like this is a correlation vs. causation problem, but it really isn't. The only problem here is that the researchers are more surprised by that finding than by the finding that poor people are more likely to commit crimes than non-poor people.
I really doubt a magic bullet can exist for the many types of cellular damage that can occur in different body systems.
This is a preventive measure, though, not a cure. The idea is to treat cancer patients before they're irradiated to reduce radiation damage to healthy cells.

Aw!
I'm no free-market fundamentalist or anything, but if customers really care, that will be enough.
Sadly,there's been an assload of data.
My experience is that these random boss directives cease to be enforced after two months.

Ahem... don't you mean CARjacking?

But of all the things to disagree on, that was his For Fcuk's Sake point! Come on, give him the For Fcuk's Sake point!
I've read this entire thread and learned that it's impossible to tell if your computer is part of a botnet.
...or is it the GREATEST discovery?

That would be (3 - n) / 2. I have four sons, so I've got -.5 boys, which would probably surprise my wife.
