Give them a couple years. After a few more "government is bad" TV spots, and under a republican president, they will try again. Whether they merge today or then doesn't really matt…

Give them some credit. By this they are acknowledging the concept of a proxy. Compared to most, this request does a reasonable job of describing what they have and what they want e…

They know about Tor. Five years ago it was magic to most cops and all prosecutors. Today they have been educated, to some extent by people like me. They acknowledge that the exit n…

Well I probably should have said "necessary reading abilities to acquire topics through available means." They are capable of understanding the topics. They have problems with sitt…

I don't teach reading. I teach adults in years 3/4 of a 4-year degree program. They are all literate. That have issues when confronted with large amounts of "dry" text. Finland wan…

That really brings back memories. That sound means all the phonecalls, parking and standing line is over and you get to actually watch a movie as it was meant to be seen. The engin…

As someone who teaches young adults (part time, local college) I find this approach unsettling. Being able to work in groups and bounce between topics is all well and good, but I'm…

5 or 6 billion? In NY that's nothing. On wall street those numbers appear and disappear every second of every day. Nobody will even notice.

The public debate has already come and gone. The law is written. The fish wins.

How much water should California spend on golf lessons for children? Or outdoor swimming pools in which nobody every swims? I can think of much greater wastes of water than trying …

Chapter 01: The linux Foundation Chapter 02: Linux Philosophy and Concepts Yup, another linux course that starts with a lesson in IP law. "Windows for dummies" doesn't start with a…

Adblockers do not block ads. They block BANNER ads. If advertisers want to pitched their products, they should contract with websites for that website to display a relevant, clicka…

For those interested in what this animal looked like while alive (ie how many humps do you get when you hybrid one+two?): http://www.camelphotos.com/camel_breeds.html

Frankly, I have to dismiss this report. As Truecrypt is cross-platform and this report evaluates Truecrypt only under windows, this is at best 33% of a report. A fault in the linux…

DPRK attacks film studio = sanctions, counterattack, TO WAR! China attacks Github = nothing, silence, heads kept in sand. The attack itself is irrelevant. The scale of response is …

That would be true if there was a "water rights law". The problem is that there is no single law. Water rights are tied to real property law, especially when farming is involved. T…

There are limits to the governor's powers here. Much of the agricultural water comes from "rights" or easements attached to specific land. Ownership of farm X comes with the right …

Least skilled at skills western employers do not care about. I totally disagree that literacy and problem solving are what employers look for today. Maybe in the 80s. Today it's ab…

I hope that is the case, but I've seen far too many of these articles written by native english speakers. I've graded papers by university students (year three!) that were far wors…

It will take months, years, decades to scan each cask. They are basically doing a cat scan of a large object using natural muons, cosmic rays. There aren't very many rays at the ea…

I don't have the equipment to track or photograph them, but I do follow these guys. It's fun to look up and see a multi-billion dollar "classified" object whipping by. Some of them…

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Pedestrians are not automatically to blame in every case. Today we have rules governing the movements of both pedestrians and cars. There is no def…

He is correct. He is saying that a gram of fuel doesn't have enough energy to get itself into orbit. That is a true statement. But he ignores the fact that rockets spend many many …

It isn't just how they die. Similar articles could be written on "How doctors loose weight", "How doctors pick their doctors" or "What do doctors do when their kids are sick". Insi…

I wonder whether they put as much information into the patches as the US military does. For instance, many programs operating out of a certain base incorporate some variation of th…
