I do get your reference. I was a java developer since 1996. 2000 was 13 years ago and ruby is far older than Java was then, so hardly a valid comparison. I am a ruby developer and …

I call bullshit. It's almost impossible to argue that the public benefit of Groklaw is outweighed by the risk of the site receiving emails that will be exposed. Using the same posi…

Sort of takes away from the "power" and "beauty" of the language when you need to dissect your code and understand the runtime to get reasonable performance.

So make an account without personal information. What's the big deal?

I'm not sure why, but the word rubyist always irks me. It strikes me as pompous and egotistical. And I've been a ruby developer for 7 years.

I have no idea what you are trying to say for all Americans, but as an American, I'm pretty sure you're not speaking for me.

This is an excellent example of angry, prudish anti-sexism being sexist. Americans need to get over themselves and recognize that sexuality and attraction are part of what makes li…

Beautiful project. I agree with others who don't think this will drive conversion - who knows... I would be concerned about reducing conversions though. Unfamiliarity can be scary.…

The resulting code may be the same. The resulting repository and history most certainly are not.

So your making the argument that enough time has elapsed in which the car maker could have fixed the problem. In other words, you are not making an argument supporting publishing f…

Personally I have some sympathy for the argument that possessing child porn should not be criminal. There are arguments for this. They satisfy urges and curiosities without victimi…

Yes. In the future when child abusers are liberated from political oppression we will look back shamefully on these offensive popups suggesting they seek help.

By the same token, google cares less about child abuse than the competition? Or maybe they just have a different view on when their intervention is appropriate or helpful.

Who's to say malicious people DON'T already have the codes? Clearly Volkswagen and the court believe they do not. I agree that a perpetual ban is not acceptable in this case. Indus…

The argument you are making - that the keys are already available - is not being made elsewhere here and is probably untrue. If it were true, there would be no reason to ban this p…

I am surprised not to find a single response supporting restraint from publishing these codes. Is this community really that foolish? First, of course if there is a flaw, it should…

You represented that TSA treats you like a criminal, which implies a vastly different type of treatment than what actually occurs. TSA have always treated me and everyone I know de…

I have no idea what The H is, however they seem to have a strong community? Have they tried the "we need money and to rails $50,000 before x or we will shut down" method? That seem…

You still don't have control over the UI.... What evidence is there that google will ever stop supporting IMAP? What makes you think another provider is not going to stop supportin…

Indeed, and I'll repeat: "It's rather clear you have no idea what criminals are treated like."

I don't find the experience of the TSA remotely like being a criminal. It's rather clear you have no idea what criminals are treated like. Generally the TSA x-rays my bags looking …

Are you suggesting everyone write their own email client?
