It never will be. Tennis tournaments take place on private property and you agree to certain terms that ban you from "transmitting match data" by purchasing a ticket and attending.…

I like to think about the "Sharing Economy" kind of like the shift from physical servers to virtual servers. A similar set of principals come into play when you try to make better …

I think that is an interesting point. I have always found "site.com/view?postid=1234" feels lazy vs. the alternative "site.com/posts/article-title". While there is a relatively sma…

That's kind of one of the three legs of the article, that it shouldn't be rape for two 17 year olds to have sex and similarly it should not be a sexual crime for them to send each …

Write a multi-threaded program in PHP, I will write one in ... well pretty much anything else.

I understand what you are trying to say. I am curious though what you recommend as a monetization strategy if you take that route? I suppose ad revenue is always the old fall back,…

I would be interested if statistical data gleaned from DNS makes it's way into any other service areas. DNS would seem like a useful way to rank the popularity of web sites, I am s…

I don't disagree with the general sentiment of the article, but judging from this quote it would appear to be a two way street: "A lot of [commenters] seem to be socially inadequat…

The above comment was addressing the lack of variables, not the lack of true inheritance (a single level of inheritance is not really inheritance at all, simply applying attributes…

This article comes off as being both disingenuous and a significant exaggeration of what is actually happening here. I think that saying that "Facebook doesn't actually log you out…

Does your mother refer to you as "Doctor Popular"? How about your best friend? How about the telemarketers that call or your internet provider?

Really?? It is exceedingly clear in the Terms of Service that you link to, where is says to "use your full first and last name", that the name "Doctor Popular" violates the terms o…

I disagree, I have no expectation that my personal friends will be taking measures to ensure my privacy, I have not paid them money and signed off on a TOS that says they will take…

With all of this discussion of password security lately one question I have is why browsers send the contents of a "password" input in plain text at all. Why not have the browsers …
