It is almost certainly legal to hire based on assessments of intelligence. If I insisted in a job interview that 4+9=12, the moon is simply a sky-reflection of the lights from Manhattan, and that I can’t stand to be in the same room as tal

I am surprised you feel that way in a time where much of our government is controlled by Republicans, including the presidency. I think I understand why you feel that way given how localized politics can be, but I would counter that it does

You might want to consider switching to the uMatrix extension instead. My understanding is that uMatrix rules can be created to apply to all domains.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but while it is certainly uncommon, it is absolutely possible to directly deliver mail to a recipient's SMTP server. In many cases, this can be done without any authentication whatsoever. I run my own

I'm not familiar with the specifics of the protocol, but your download speeds would be much slower without uploading. I believe that with BitTorrent, you are penalized/rewarded somehow for not uploading vs. uploading.

I've done a fair amount of work importing CSV files into SQL Server 2008. I have no idea if this is still broken, but I can confirm that 2008 mishandles CSV files where the character used to surround string columns appears escaped with

I may have misunderstood this aspect of the movie, but it seemed to me that the government was determined to convince the public that space exploration, and NASA, were excesses of the past to be avoided. The spacecraft they asked Cooper to

It is a bit confusing, but I'm not sure that this is actually an error. It sounds like he may be in a position to directly make that change to Chrome, but is trying to clarify that his thoughts on Firefox and Safari are his, and he can

A major frustration for me is that OneDrive does not show up as a folder in Windows 8.1, unless you link your Windows account with a Microsoft account. I absolutely won't be logging into my computers with my Microsoft account, which

I'm not sure that's the case, but if it were, perhaps more people would start using Waze again after Google Transit became worse. (Repeat process forever.)

I'm not sure this is true, regardless of how large Bitcoin grows to be. If a significant enough problem were discovered, wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest to protect the value of their wallets by accepting a forked b

I like Bing, I've found it to be excellent. I've been using it for about a year now, and there's no way I'm going back to Google now.

OpenXML is a proprietary format? That seems like a stretch to me.

Well, that's not quite true. There is always a small risk of losing some (or even all) of your money, particularly if you have a large amount in your account. Obviously that risk is very, very low for smaller amounts of money.

PGP? It does whole disk encryption, but I don't think it does hidden volumes. (I could be wrong.) I'm not sure if you consider it reputable or not, but the source has been available, at least for recent versions. I'm not sure

...and keeping Bitcoin working, and possibly enriching the ASIC's owners. So it's not just burning power and creating heat.

I laughed, because it's funny to think that someone concerned about Microsoft snooping on their chat sessions would be willing to somehow publish those same messages into a (very public) blockchain.

You may have lost bitcoins, but you did so before you knew they'd be worth hundreds of dollars. I'd expect that in the future, people will be much more careful to backup (or print out) their private keys. In any case, the ones you lost just

What, so it is in their best interest to release crappy devices? I (excitedly) bought a Windows 8 Samsung tablet last year as soon as I could find somewhere that actually had one in stock. It was really terrible. Horrible, unusable hardware

I can see that some people have had serious problems with them. For what it's worth, though, I used their service for the first time last week. It worked fine, and only took a few moments for them to complete the transaction after I deposit

USPS is expected to remain profitable as a commercial business, but to some extent is still treated as though they were part of the federal government. Their ability to make tough business decisions when they need to is crippled by a slow,

Thankfully, we don't have to guess about this particular metric, or use silly results based on web-surfing of certain websites. Almost 9% of Steam users are already on Windows 8: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey#cat0 8.76% is much h

I don't think that changes the situation, though. (Incidentally, I'm apparently not the only one who got that detail wrong, since the original post on Reddit was titled "My mistake sir...")

Not to mention, it's free PR. I'd forgotten I needed to order some stuff, but this reminded me, and so I placed the order once they were back up. I'm not sure how common that reaction is, but it might offset the downtime to some extent.

I've been using it for a while. There was a beta version available for free, and I believe most enterprise customers have had access to the final RTM version for months. I know that some MSDN subscriptions include a production license, and

That's not an entirely fair description. Windows RT is a real Windows 8 installation, but running on ARM, and restricted to running only executables signed by Microsoft.

Unless Google retaliates somehow. I’d be surprised if they didn’t immediately ban or somehow freeze all of his Google accounts and services in response to a chargeback.
