"It doesn't work because users are unwilling to go through and tag all their files." This doesn't make sense. They "File -> Save" to a location, right? That's a tag. All metadata is tags. People give fi

I have a FingerWorks iGesturePad on my desk right now, a 17-year-old device which is still to this day the most advanced multi-touch consumer product. My experience with this product teaches me that multi-finger input is not at all unnatura

Why because of shutdowns? That's fair but most of us up here at this salary level can weather a month or two without pay so long as it finally arrives. I'd be more worried about working for a fascist, even indirectly.

Sure but we wouldn't go out looking for open doors. If you want me to patrol then you need to pay me.

No, not barbaric, that's the liability attached to all normal activities. "Knew or should have known" is the standard. Boeing management knew or should have known that selling an essential safety system relying on a single se

I've always liked veggie burgers. The best ones are as good as very good hamburgers (in a different way). Some others are not so good.

I'll happily blame anything on this evil administration, including this, but the corporatism which led to these deaths predates the American fascist assumption of power.

We settled this debate in Slashdot in 1998. Your definition is too narrow.

Yes, 51% of evidence. Also known as "random guess plus one percent."

It does if you try a little bit. But, you said truly, not if you don't.

I had an incident on the way out of high school. Mom hired a lawyer and wanted to fight but I didn't g.a.f. I went off to college and didn't look back. Saved the lawyer fee, never cared.

No need to ban them, just tax their use at a level that pays the costs. Want to use a two stroke blower instead of electric? OK, $20 per hour tax. Same with light bulbs.

You're worried for all those people backpacking into remote wilderness to blow leaves. Gotcha.

Yeah it totally sucks when you were accustomed to externalizing your business costs onto others but now you have to pass those costs on to your customers. I mean sucks for the customers, not for you (you earn the same) or for the people no

I do what others have said - I have domains and use pre-defined (DreamHost, no catch all) addresses different for most sites. I also define a bunch of generic ones I cam reach for on the go. I have about 150 now. Is it worth it? I don'

Tech solution is Whitelist + Pay To Connect. Anyone on my list rings through. Everyone else can pay to connect, whatever amount I set, and if I like your call I'll whitelist you and refund the money. Email, same.

No. It's a virtue signal. Which is fine for him, just not a value shared by you and me.
