Oh dear, I wish he hadn't said that. I hope he does too. Even quoted a bit out of context (it was possibly a flip tagline), when you direct activities at the biggest datalogger around and have capabilities that most people regard as extremely penetrating, you just do not say anything that might scare people. Bad for business.
Google does not do business with "people", they do business with other corporations.
It's like saying that McDonalds shouldn't scare the cows.
ITS IN PUBLIC. ANYTHING IN PUBLIC IS, wait for it, PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't matter if you collect just one little bit of public information or you collect every single piece of public information. It's public. You have no right to expect privacy IN PUBLIC.
Because a clunky web interface controlled by a single provider that has no killfiling, offline storage or syntax highlighting is clearly better than Usenet diversity.
Never claimed it was better, just that you won't be cut off from your favourite content.
But when has Apple ever taken an open-source project, cleaned it up with bugfixes and lots of other improvements, and put a proprietary wrapper around it for ease-of-use?
The standard discussion forums for a great many tech communities are still on Usenet: comp.lang.python, comp.text.tex and gnu.emacs.gnus are just a few that I read daily.
Every time I hurt, my wife suggests I go to a chiropractor. But I don't -- because I don't know who I can trust. How do I know it's not some quack? How do you find that "really skilled person" and know you have one of those "very specific problems in the back?"
My current theory is to ask them what they can cure. If they say suggest wacko things like cancer and ear aches, I'll go somewhere else. You'd think there would be a better way, though, wouldn't you?
I suggest finding one who is also a practising MD.
I used the services of Dr. Jeffery Balon (both as an MD and as a chiropractor) when he was working in a clinic near my workplace. I once Googled him on a whim and found out that he was actively involved in debunking the claim that chiropractic manipulation can cure asthma.
I suspect that the people who joke about the lack of sex after marriage are the people who screwed up somewhere along the way and aren't getting any anymore.
I would have to agree. I've been married 8 years and have 3 kids. If I wouldn't have gotten (fixed) we'd have 6 or so kids by now..... It doesn't have to stop after marrage, if you know what I mean....
You mean that during these 8 years you had sex 3 times before you were fixed and 3 times after?
I personally detest the idea of Unions and I'm glad programmers have avoided them. In most unions, your potential raise is dependent on all the other union members in your department. You also don't negotiate raises, your union lawyers/reps do. No thank you.
That is not the idea of unions, just the implementation that you happen to be familiar with.
Sort of like saying that you detest the idea of democracy based on the examples of Berlusconi and the "Change you can believe in" fiasco.
If you have a particular issue that you want to advance in a first-past-the-post democracy, the correct move is to identify which of the major parties is most receptive to your goal, and organize within that party. Form an organization, raise money, make noise. If you're a visible constituency within a major party (and can be counted on to bring in votes, donations, and volunteers) then they will have reason to differentiate themselves by embracing your issue.
Since both the Liberals and the Conservatives are "too big to give a flying fuck about anything but their own self interest" that leaves only the NDP. At the least, join the Greens. I'm sure you guys are smart enough to hammer out a mutually accepted platform. Plus, you get to call yourself "The Green Pirates".
Have you investigated your browsing habits? Because, In my experience, opening 20+ pages with 5-10 images each (art, I swear!) ends up eating a lot a memory. Memory usage depends on your browsing habits as well.
Seems to me that the memory taken by the images is not getting returned to the system.
As a Christian, I see evidence of God working today, just as the Bible says He will work. I see people who I know well who have had illnesses who are prayed for and are healed of what ails them without any medical intervention (but after medical tests confirming their condition).
As a scientifically-minded person, I too see people pray to YHWH and recover. I also see people pray to Allah and recover, people who do not pray at all and recover, people who pray and do not recover (even after medical intervention) and people who neither pray nor recover. From this I conclude that I have not seen evidence linking prayer and recovery.
I see lives freed from addiction after prayer.
I saw lives freed from addiction after a making commitment.
I see people's hearts and lifestyles dramatically changed when they accept Christ as savior.
I see people's hearts and lifestyles dramatically changed when they join a cult.
Not a single one of these is a proof of creation. But each of these is evidence that God exists and is still going about business just as the Bible declares He will.

My first reaction would be to say that the expression C/C++ is undefined in both C and C++.

It is evidence of selection bias, nothing more.
> How many of our enemies *are* in compliance?
None, by definition.
> Is the US in compliance?
Yes, by definition.
> Who gets to determine who is in non-compliance anyway?
The US.
> Why should anyone believe the US wouldn't nuke someone it that it really wanted to anyway?
Not believing constitutes non-compliance.
