"The Royal Family" gets similar treatment. I suspect that it's a language thing---there are only two Anglosphere countries with presidents, and the other one (Ireland) has ~1/50th the population of the US and lots of Iri

If you still like the idea of buttons, but don't want to give up using the vendor-supplied buttons themselves, you can use the "two clicks for more privacy" jQuery plugin[0], which only loads the actual button when the user e

The problem is that well intentioned suggestions like "eat dark leafy greens" tend to sew doubt in the minds of patients, and as a result you have lots of cancer sufferers on batshit insane diet regimes because "a friend-of-a-friend said th

I disagree. Whilst I don't think that voting rights should be taken away from the elderly, I do think that giving a greater range of ages the ability to vote (say, optional voting between 13 and 18) could be beneficial to society. That ex

This is highly amusing. As the developer on the official AOSP ticket for this said, Java apps get their random bits from RandomBitsSupplier, which, quite clearly, does not read from /dev/urandom, as evidenced by line 72 in https://androi
