I'd be tempted to include blogs about/links to Tiananmen Square protests etc then report the copies to the Chinese authorities. Possibly do something similar for Russia about homosexuality or whatever.

Salinger has certainly got this reclusive business down to a t - nobody's seen or heard anything from him for a good 8 years now.

If it doesn't have to be portable why spend that much on a laptop at all? Why not get a desktop you can at least sensibly upgrade/fix etc?

So you believe that a reviewer or perhaps a random internet commenter making a statement for or against a feature such as a headphone socket "gives attention" which is picked up by a company as it works on the spec for subsequent

Sadly, Chrome doesn't support extensions for mobile. Firefox does, which is the (only) reason I use it but that's obviously not going to be around forever. If the choice is ever surf with ads/trackers or don't surf I&#x

Google barely sells phones. They might have done with Nexus but they sell as many Pixels in a year as Apple do in 3 days. I know no-one with a Nest. They're still very much an ad company.

"In general, drop "lol", "lonely fanbois" etc from your vocabulary if you want your statements to be taken seriously." Thanks for the advice but I appear to be immune to this "social networks and digital m

If that's your angle, remember that that nonsense included explicitly the suggestion that one problem with tracking might be when you "get involved with a terror group", along with other drivel about "digitized karma&quo

No it's not just you. I block ads with ublock origin. The end result of the tracking is targeted ads, and as I don't see any of them I don't care how accurate they are.

What's your source for the reason iPhone sales are dropping?

Fragmentation! Lol! The only people who seem to care about "Android fragmentation" are lonely Apple fanbois. It makes no difference to Android users as the version of Android you run and the apps you can install/websites you

Stack overflow is pretty popular. Although their recent attempt to "be nice to new users" (which wasn't necessary before, and coincides with the quality of answers rapidly approaching that of Quota) suggests that this won&#x2

Even if you were someone for whom the page is clear, you might still be confused by why someone who would need to take a not insignificant amount of time getting their development machine installed and configured correctly but would balk at

Presumably because nobody cares about the security of email addresses. The part of their system which handles credit cards hasn't been shown to be compromised, but maybe Gmail's spam filter needs to work a little harder. (I'v

Why would anyone care if you had their address, or email address? Why would Amazon be interested in going into details about an email address leak? Outside of a handful of people who get excited by every leak no matter what, nobody cares.

Facebook and Google use QR codes to link phones and desktops. It shows the QR code and your point your phone at it and that's it. I can't think of anything quicker. People sometimes say they're ugly. Who cares? You'd rat

That's the same as elsewhere though. You never need to state something is copyright; it already is.

It's more clean in the way breaking or continuing from for loops and switch statements are. Or don't you approve of those either?
24.
by superflyguy 8y ago
You could always add a comment "this is not a loop" if you find it puzzling that the language allows you to loop zero times.

I'm not sure how you didn't pick up on the fact that this was not about scientists being ignored.

No, but this is unprecedented for a developed country. Yes, they were eventually cleared. Great. Some doubts remain but it cannot be proved beyond all reasonable doubt that they were witches. Not guilty!

I've seen and use that. It's perfectly readable once you understand it's not a loop. It's handy on c, where you can't try...throw (or don't want to in c++) where you want to do a few things which you want to tr

Read the article again and explain why you think the headline is wrong. (Hint: this morning my walk to work was less than three miles.)

I'd agree with this. (Agadmator I find hard to understand what he's saying, plus a lot of the "analysis" is him saying "A4...b6...b6...") Other worthwhile YouTubers are Eric Rosen, and the GingerGM.

That's great but could you make me a coffee so I have something to drink while I read it?
