Not that I think the US has any moral high ground overall, but they only court-order your password under circumstances where someone's already seen evidence of something illegal on there.

The UK is beyond unreasonable with that nonsense. What if you ask a foreign partner to create a key and secure the device without telling you until you are past the border or out of the country? What if you were collecting atmospheric data?

Oh, is it about visas? I was going to snark it up and say they also recognize pizza as a vegetable. I approve of pro gamers getting visas to compete even if I'm not interested in watching.

You are right, of course. I thought the GP just wanted it for his own apps.

You don't even need a jailbroken phone, just a provisioning profile. Objective-C is fully dynamic, so you can override UIView/CALayer so that it sends data to a server whenever it changes and is a child view of the key UIWindow. T

Well, here's a false dichotomy. I don't know why hiring decisions would be based on gender at all, though, so I don't know why badclient seems to argue for it here. Both men and women can be frivolously litigative.

Oh. I'm assuming the same thing, then. The attractive part of basic income for me is that everyone has enough to buy food and housing, so suddenly menial laborers have an iota of bargaining power.

Obviously people would mow lawns but the price would be higher because they don't have to. If you wanted someone to mow your lawn, you would probably need extra income. Or, since you have more free time, you can now mow it yourself and

I'm always irritated that when they move beyond the last page, it scrolls in reverse to the first page. EDIT: This sarcastic carousel gets it right.

But have they equal tooling? That's why I'd be using C if I were using C for something; it's "portable assembly".

This is literally true and goes beyond security. I hope everyone who complained about Google Reader takes note of this; once you have the freedom to modify and rebuild you are trivially able to continue using your software long after the cr

I don't think you are a poor empiricist in your field. If you can somehow equate fossil records with creationism, then yes you are a poor empiricist in that field. I specifically wrote that it's a kind confirmation bias, however.

Unless it's clear how to get from one view to the other and which view you use is optional. Then that might be a feature :)

Well it's like how can certain computer programmers be Christian fundamentalists[1]? They were taught that way as a child and have no influences that really refute what they believe. I thought USA was the bee's knees until I had a

If he were guessing passwords jail time might be appropriate. It's fucking ridiculous that changing the user agent, even to circumvent server "protections", would be a crime worthy of any jail time whatsoever. What is he guil

I don't know that there's any evidence that says directly it will be. What I believe is that the country is becoming less free as time goes on and I think that means at some point they will use the data for dissent stifling. I don

I block all advertisements because the majority I've seen are manipulative and push us to constantly be purchasing shit we don't need by making us afraid we aren't good enough. Or they're just nakedly bold; "come sp

Let's not restrict it to people relevant to controversies. Let's stop all the tabloid articles and blogspam.

Some English speakers claim they are uninterested in Coq for similar reasons. I guess if you want to ignore a good tool because of a bad name, go ahead. But it seems to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

> So long as such monitoring is not used as a means to stifle legal dissent, I have no objection to it. I believe waiting until it is used to overtly stifle legal dissent to object is foolish.

Ok, I agree. But that's not what you wrote. If you had written the exact same post but concluded with a suggestion the OP start one it would have changed the tone immensely. What you wrote above was nothing more than boasting.

This added nothing but arrogance to the conversation.

Let's assume one hash is exactly equivalent to one attempt at brute force and the keys are 256 bits. 5GH/s * ($5B / $22K) is about 10^17 GH/s. There are 2^256 possibilities, which is about 10^77. So to try them all you n

If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out millionshort.com . I think the idea is that it skims off the top layer of scum from search results, hopefully revealing good results that didn't SEO.
