If you don't mind a parenthetical point, I'd argue that Marx's specific analyses and the precise names stuck to them are too limiting at this point - or at least I'm convinced you'…

But I'm convinced if at all, only very reluctantly so - certanly not so over an ideology whose championing stands to benefit not those of Deng Xiaoping's orthodoxy but of Maoist ir…

The sole fact that one has to reach over themselves and make a great deal to invoke it when thinking within Clojure's mechanics - they become neither cheap to mentally fiddle aroun…

I apologize for bringing up the first assumption and running off it - I'd went off with it precisely because you talked about complete exclusion: but of course Apple can do a very …

Your second point is terribly exhaustively induced - I've two nitpicks, though, for the record's sake: there's the fairly low-lying target of whether the poweruser response to the …

I doubt open-source developers were paying to have their executables codesigned in the first place - I'd assumed in the argument above, at the very least, that the Gatekeeper denia…

Assuming none of the rest of the infrastructure'll change - I'd consider working with possibilities as future "when"s impractical enough; a user'll go download Firefox, the standar…

It took me a while to figure out Shivers wasn't talking about the conventional diss - the narrative lives and dies on the technical one-ups.

I'll offer my congratulations as well - it feels like it's just been able to freshly tap the nerve of what lies beneath cosmopolitan America, and for that alone it won't go stale f…

I'd wonder whether methods that make use of zeroing or /dev/zero'd be staved off for longer on Mavericks - perhaps it'd compress the recurring patterns that'd result?

Gah - typo - "intercessionable" is the word; I've taken its use from the the Art of the Metaobject Protocol. (Thanks for the double-checking.) It's a usage that doesn't bear much r…

Complete income inequality isn't even orthodox Marx - "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" goes the standard quote by Marx; but that was his study of…

"Any one that won't let Bedrock's tools and clients complain" is the answer - I know nothing about what the author's hinting wrt his future plans, but my impression's that the curr…

Weren't the full-QWERTY Communicators within that price range? Any more interesting than that and we'd have credited to them a more full-featured OS barging into the range of PDAs …

Would mass-produced closed loop be a viable solution here? I'd imagine the engineering costs incurred ahead of time would add to quite a bit, but I'm unqualified to make any intere…

The VLM's been ported, but manually setting it up Sid by far and large the same amount of pain simply amortized over time: the guides extant say you'll have to set up NTP, allow fo…

And just in time, too, for a good chance at rapprochement - the Salafists and Israel's conservative faction may see face-to-face on foreign policy for once.

"Red Rabbit" woke up the inner foreign policy wonk in me, despite how transparent Clancy's imperatives were - it's a pity he could never end up working his same genuine interest wi…

> At the end of the day, Samsung wants the benchmarking to show the theoretical maximum. Other manufacturers may not be too bothered and are happy to show benchmarking of normal us…

The Acknowledgements has an interesting anecdote - Thierry Coquand, apparently, found the original lecture notes that would become the book out the blue and seems to have offered q…

The title's misleading: Bitcoin was never sanctioned in the first place - the laws presumably whitelist, rather than blacklist. I don't think the political will exists, in either c…

The phrase "this is Thailand" comes to mind - individual use will slip through the gaps, institutional users'll work this into their standard relationships with the various organs …

The Chrome and Android teams don't seem to be great bedfellows, it seems - it isn't clear to me what demarcates Chrome-branded products from products running Android in areas far f…
