I think of IPv6 like driving a stick shift car that you skip a gear with. If you're lucky, the engine won't stall but even if it doesn't, you'll be accelerating very slowly until t…

One of my favorite movies, and favorite one of the genre by far. If anyone who loves this movie hasn't seen the commentary track on the DVD, get it immediately. The actors present …

Under what context, can you say? I assume not all your own doctors, etc.

I largely agree but this whole issue needs to be looked at through eyes of compassion first and foremost. Jesus stood by a woman who was about to be stoned for adultery and told he…

It was interesting to see how much of the media was cheering the cruise missile strike in Syria. I think socially and economically WaPo is very liberal but for some reason most of …

I imagined a Principle Skinner writing this article "Are we out of touch with the wants and needs of the American people? No, it's the children (voters) who are wrong..."

The beauty of freedom of speech is that it disarms that fine china that begins to appear on every square foot of ground in society where free speech is under assault. Without it, p…

I was thinking of police corruption myself.

I wish I had a million+ reader outlet to push my specific brand of political agenda.

I always interpreted that resignation as "both sides are terrible, so I'm going to keep voting for my side". I wonder how many people really felt strong enough about politics to cl…

Thanks! And to add, how can one possibly become less confident instead of more confident in our media the older one gets? I think the media is just a tool, to be used by those with…

I agree, give them all the control they need to keep their ads or content disassociated with the undesirable corners of the site but unless actual crimes are being committed we sho…

Just speaking about accuracy in all reporting of our time (not including specific trade publications), I think there has to be a clever moniker for the phenomenon that occurs when …

Google should give censorship the middle finger, while also giving advertisers more control over where their ads play. Categorization is good, censorship isn't.

I'm with the "or it already has been". Automation is always happening with programming. Fully automatic programming has no meaning, since you have to define parameters for some set…

Does anyone know how this compares to Starbucks Via?

Saw someone call them out once as giving out "grandma-level advice", I felt it was accurate, no offense to grandmas of course.

Very cool. One suggestion to give an even better perspective is to... literally give a first person perspective from the planets on what the sun and other planets looks like in the…

Quad cores are the absolute minimum I would want for a standard office machine, unless it's only for a handful of basic applications. My latest work laptop is a quad core with 32 G…

Welcome to the unintended consequences of government regulations. This is exactly what many "anti-regulation" people rail against, but examples like this are rarely brought up by "…

A big part of that incoherence comes the fact that a lot of their guidelines are too broad. For instance, one requirement says all activity performed by an admin must be logged. Ho…

How can you possibly draw any useful conclusions when your experiment's parameters are so fluid as to be uncontrollable?

I remember my teachers in high school making such a big deal about the scientific method on how important it was, how experiments must be reproducible to be useful, but today you b…

There is a very strong perception that if you are a conservative and you speak out either against left-wing views, someone will try to destroy your career and rob you of your livel…
