I don't know anything about how they target their victim, but I am assuming the have very little time between seeing the victim and deciding to execute him/her/them. So I suspect an algorithm makes the call.

Your idea will only work if you can control the anonymous watchers. How would you know if they actually watched the footage properly? One way to do it that comes to mind is the captcha way - give the watcher two segments, one of which is kn

Nothing to do with that. There are currently lots of drivers and OpenSSH of course, in NetBSD that came from OBSD.

Haven't used OBSD in years, but I do use OpenSSH all the time. There are lots of stuff lurking in my OS of choice, NetBSD, that came from OBSD. So I would like to thank Mircea Popescu for his generosity. I can only muster $A50 I'm

Break the problem/task down into independent pieces. Independent means that the piece can be unit tested. Finish the piece and its unit test before you stop coding. Design a good api/interface/signature etc for each piece to

The mafia is illegal in Italy as far as I know, so that is not a valid comparison. Yes there are problems with all taxi drivers, and I do not see how Uber drivers are immune from these.

Or, turning it around somewhat: "Lisp Programmers Demand Expulsion of Users of Inferior Languages". Dude, leave them alone. If that is what they want to do, let them be. Never mind what your opinion of "improvement" is.

Uber and it's ilk are nice and disruptive and all and you get a cheap ride out of it, but we must not forget that they are disrupting people's livelihood and cultural and social traditions too. I do not condone the violence, but I

Yeah, but they are still just cars. They will still need valuable real-estate for roads and parking and storage. What these are starting to sound like are trains and buses, which have existed for hundreds of years.

Isn't opening an email attachment a standard, right thing to do? Aren't email attachments supposed to be the main ways to send someone a non-text file, by design? If so, blaming people for doing it is wrong. It is Windows that is
