    Oh come on dude! Nobody is really asking for PHP to be a clone of Python. Why can't PHP have a nice module system? It's not FUD to complain that it doesn't have one. It's commonsen…

    I actually read the entirety of the USA PATRIOT Act when I wrote the Wikipedia article. It took me two years to complete! Surprisingly, there are a few issues of concern, but by an…

    Is there a reproducible test case? I can well believe that there might be issues, the post isn't really actionable without some sort of specific code to go along with it :(

    My favourite thread: My uncle put down 500k for a new lambo, and makes around a million a year. The semi-mansion he lives in with my other uncle is fully paid off, the kids college…

    So instead of the original third party destroying your privacy, you hand control to another third party? What measures are being put into place to stop them from doing what the ori…

    Someone on the comments section points out that this could be a DoS vector. Would there be a way of doing this sensibly in production code?

    Wow... according to Wikipedia, the women on the box were all employees of On-Line Systems, the precursor to Sierra. One of them is a bookkeeper! I'd be curious as to how the convin…
