Meanwhile, I fire up the average application that uses the Gnome HIG spec, and I find it horrendous to use. They take it a number of steps further and remove, completely and thoroughly, any ability to customize. I very much like the Apple m

I can give the quantum of the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're just possibly overly defensive for SQL injections if they're using the DB to do the hashing. They should be using parametrization anyhow and HAND, but mayb

That solution would fail to catch several of the examples that were requested to be caught. Sometimes something that appears overengineered is built that way to meet the actual requirements a problem presents.

He was pointing out that you mixed your units in your analysis. You divided annual cost by daily ridership for the cost instead of multiplying the daily ridership for annual ridership. I think he was short in how he pointed this out to you.

Indeed. That was the first thing that caught my eye in the graph since I enjoy using the MARTA system in ATL when I go there and it's pretty busy. It didn't pass the sniff test when I saw that. I did some quick digging. The term t

This is more about what Acton was saying, so we're looking at good and bad from his perspective. I don't think we need to invoke moral relativity as we already have a frame of reference. He seems to have clearly indicted men of po

1) Are you advancing the argument that abuse of children is an economic response to demand, and not that the perpetrator wanted to do it in the first place? 2) How does this argument explain the illegality of drawings depicting underage sex
