More so considering the city might want to close down the bridge (eh... open it? lift it?!) remotely in case of an emergency. They might also want to throw in some traffic condensa…

Funny how a decade ago everyone knew pornography and the Internet were synonymous...

Most of the time...

Python can do it. As I'm sure every interpreted language can. e.g. ./data.py: me = "RamiK" EOF ./code.py import data print(data.me) EOF

Really a shame for them to resort to such unscrupulous tactics. I quite like 1&1 too. Their mail.com mobile interface ( https://m.mail.com/int/ ) works with NoScript and is perfect…

Java (Vs. Visual C++) had the industry and Academia trying to break free from Microsoft's grip by going cross-platform and later in-browser. Dart just doesn't have that kind of dri…

Was mentioned in the article, but often overlooked. Drakon is an old school FOSS diagrams-based visual-editor that outputs C (and Java, C#, Erlang...): http://drakon-editor.sourcef…

Because those writers you've mentioned drafted on paper with the purpose of releasing to print.

Seems decent enough to me. If I can park a non-tech staffer on an Excel course for an hour instead of having to hold his/hers hand and explain how a spreadsheet works I call that a…

Great. More windows azure ads, goggle apps for business, board development kits, development ides and car insurance ads for me to click on just to screw with marketeers. Makes you …

> Sure they do, by definition code that uses the extensions is not standards compliant. I don't follow. How's having non-standard complying code taking advantage of the extensions …

Why should the opposite be any truer? Without any evidence to prove otherwise, calling the cops is equally wrong.

Extensions don't break standard compliance so I didn't bring them up. Note that both C++ and GNU C have similar extensions but under different semantics which don't make them any l…

I'm thinking about the pre-processor not supporting #if and the requirement for function prototypes. I suppose the extension you have in mind are the extra libraries for dealing wi…

That's incorrect. Plan 9's C is a restricted ANSI C variety.

It's really your typical regulatory committee keeping up appearance and hitting their quota: Regardless of quality or compliance with the rules, Apple's App Store review staff need…

It didn't help having it coincide with Safer Internet Day ( www.saferinternetday.org ) which did make it to my local media. I only heard about the Day We Fight Back thing a day or …

NoScript.

Before Generics, the Garbage Collector needs to be sorted out since that's what dictates the optimizations and abstractions in the rest of the safe code in a very significant way. …

Older English man still use indirect speech when referring to themselves and the person they're talking to if there's a significant class difference or even gender. Sometimes they'…

Businesses never had the stomach for basic research. It's why progress is traditionally done in one form or another of a governmentally sanctioned monopoly.

At least they had the ride of their life. Sorry, couldn't help it.

Not really. You had to have been of the wealthy third estate (free gentry or an ex-service man). Even an established guild member - above a journeyman and by consequence a free-cit…

For this discussion's sake, there are two forms of communication: (1) The public forum you can meet up with new people and talk. (2) And the direct message sending kind like phones…

Try to remember the NSA is an intelligence agency, not a law enforcement agency. They're not interested in producing evidence and bringing anything to trial.* Rather, they're targe…
