I didn't know what gnote was, and when I was reading that I thought he was trying to say that it was a Mono/C# app. My impression of what he was saying -- which it turns out is pro…

Even BEFORE you turn 18. There are cases of <18 yo kids being tried as adults for 'possessing', 'producing' or 'distributing' child pornography. Even the girl who takes the picture…

> A worrying argument: what happens when her images make their way onto the CP networks and some crazy person decides he is madly in love and tracks her down (yes, this does happen…

Don't try to paint everyone with such a broad brush. I posit that in America too many people are apathetic of the legal system so only the hardcore wackos get any sort of political…

Not necessarily. I've seen some of the decisions and they don't really make sense. One of the decisions was to 'protect' the children because it was possible for someone to hack th…

But I take it that most statutory rape happens less for economic reasons than most authorities/politicians would like us to believe. Most people that abuse/rape children do so beca…

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but Safari uses OSX's ported libraries as DLLs. If the memory size of those DLLs is being used, it would show up as less memory usage on an…

I'm just trying to make the point that while you have fond childhood memories of long summer vacations, it doesn't necessarily mean that you would be a boring person with boring me…

I would be interested in a write-up of how you do your planning and finances using Vim (format, helper scripts, etc). I'm mostly interested in your workflow/text file formatting is…

Lua scored pretty well in that shootout, IIRC. disclaimer I've never even coded in Lua.

Well, Japanese companies also has to contend with the deflation of their currency.

I have a bunch of issues with this post, regardless of the feasibility of micropayments. First off, saying that people didn't go for the $0.xx/kB data plans on cellphones due to 'm…

So... you're saying that the fundamental problem with Linux is that when logging in remotely from the command line it's not as easy to use as a GUI/Desktop environment? I'd like to…

How is this really related to the article though? Are you trying to say that the people moving to Portland/etc are burning through cash too quickly because they aren't living cheap…

> researching it is a pain because "screen" is such a poor, generic name for a project. Really. I find it pretty easy to use search terms like "gnu screen" or "screenrc" to get lot…

Look at Adium (which is IM, but I don't think IRC) and Colloquy (IRC and SILC) on OSX. They output chat to XML which is then 'themed' with XSLT into HTML to display in a Webkit fra…

NoScript's behavior isn't the display of ads though, so AdBlock is _not_ directly messing with NoScript. It could be that the users installed AdBlock to block the NoScript ads. In …
