You will find, sir, that the challenged party is universally given the privilege of selecting the weapons to be used in a duel; otherwise, it would be far too simple to challenge someone to duel with a weapon with whose use you are supremely competent and he is entirely unacquainted, the result being no sort of contest at all but rather a sort of murder under color of long-cherished custom.

Of course, yours isn't intended to be taken as a genuine challenge, but rather as some sort of rhetorical point. I fear, though, that said point entirely escapes me. You seem to be attempting to argue that a firearm makes a more effective weapon than a human carcass, a point on which I cannot imagine there is any controversy; I do not, though, see how that bears upon the statement that no weapon aims and fires itself, independent of human agency -- or do you contend that the AK-47, in addition to all its other fine qualities as a weapon, can do this as well?
It's interesting to follow Enlightenment's history as it started out as a hacked fvwm-xpm that was slow and bloated to Enlightenment, which was slow and bloated for its time.

And through a combination of Moore's Law and Rasterman's perseverance it's now a modern, fast, and lightweight desktop.

It makes me wonder whether some day, Enlightenment, in some form, might end up a "household name" similar to what happened with NeXT: great technology, never made it big, people thought it was dead, the devs persisted, and now it's morphed into OS X and iOS some of the most popular OSes today.

I'm curious whether E will have its NeXT moment, as well.

I'm not familiar with such a plugin, but for a small donation I'm sure myself/others reading here could write it for you :)

UPDATE: I've written the trivial plugin, but only tested it a little: https://github.com/skx/wordpress-no-links
> so you're pretty free to do whatever you want with them

except when you actually look at the plugin's (or Wordpress's) source, you'll explode into a fountain of expletives.
Thanks for the feedback. There seems to be some bugs and I will let you know as soon as we fix them. I dont want to give away anything about QwikDial, but would like you to take a look and let me know if it made sense. But not yet though, ill keep you posted.

Thanks again!
New spear phishing tactic: notice to appear in court
When I was in Ireland last year, many torrent sites were blocked at the ISP level (with big scary "you are doing something illegal" pages in their place). I found it kinda amazing they were so blatant in their censorship. (Only some ISPs did it though. I got around the cable Internet censorship by tethering to my 4G iPhone on an EE SIM.)
How about your average moron with an engineering degree like me?

In Canada, there's a very strict definition for engineer. If you don't have an engineering degree from an accredited university, and a professional designation, you cannot call yourself an engineer. They take it very seriously since it's a regulated profession.

Obviously everyone is free to draw their own lines (outside of Canada at least).

I always thought an engineer was someone who puts scientific or mathematical theory into practice and to solve technical problems. I'm ok with someone giving themselves the title of engineer if they do that for a living. On the other hand, they should not call themselves a "Professional Engineer" without the proper accreditation.

They also drive locomotives, for some reason.
Ok, thanks for participating in our conversation

All these filters by ISPs are optional.
Is it that hard to say "hell no" when they ask you "do you want us to block stuff?"

The amount of misinformation spread about this mythical "UK porn filter" is astounding, but I guess unsurprising as it fits completely into the orwellian surveillance state conspiracy theory agenda.

Cameron is pandering to worried parents who believe the internet is a bad place, and little Johnny must be protected by a filter. The government believe it will mean they'll win the next election. It's just politics.

It's nothing whatsoever about censorship. Anyone can opt out of the filters, and anyone can get past the filters with a couple of clicks.

edit: anyone downvoting actually live in the UK? Any of you actually have any hard facts? Or are you just regurgitating the crap you read on the internet.

Chicken or the egg is quite easy to solve. It's the egg.

"Since DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) can be modified only before birth, it can be argued that a mutation must have taken place at conception or within an egg such that a creature similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, laid the first chicken eggs."

They don't get the benefit of the doubt. Prosecuting HSBC and its officers would be a mammoth undertaking costing hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. The reason HSBC (or any other large organization) pleads guilty or enters into a non-prosecution agreement is that it usually lets them off for less (on a risk adjusted basis) than fighting. The prosecutors also don't want to spend the several years in litigation so they get a scalp to carry in front of the cameras to claim that they are being tough.

If we were serious as a country about compliance with our laws we would have just stripped them of their US banking license. Of course this would have rather large ramifications for many other people that would mostly be bad.
If the controllers were the same type I would agree, but that seems to never be the case with these.

> and monitor all of its branches for criminal activity, and they basically did that--but not as much as the US demanded

I'm not convinced that it wasn't completely obvious. The Mexico unit shipped $7 Billion to the US unit. Why did Breuer call it "stunning failures of oversight"?

> You don't send an executive to jail because a guy several layers down did something wrong

So why are the bonuses of those execs being cut if they are not to blame? Again, why did Breuer call it "stunning failures of oversight"?

I'm also not convinced they won't use this as a horrible excuse to unnecessarily increase monitoring, while the entire thing was plainly visible under an existing system. I would like cash to stay private, can i really not have that without something like this being invisible?

Nothing is wrong with culture. I love the culture. It's just that there is an emphasis on doing things in clever ways, not necessarily readable or maintainable ways.

The average thread on PerlMonks (at least when I was a heavy reader) eventually turns to code golf. The language and culture both encourage that. I had a lot of fun writing clever code, and it really helped me understand data structures and efficiency at a deep level. Trying to force that culture of expression and code gymnastics to write a maintainable codebase just isn't worth it in my opinion. A language with more constraints and less magic will benefit a team trying to come together to build a product.

I see Python as being somewhere between Perl (express yourself in clever ways) and Ruby (I know it's attributed to Rails, but omakase) in terms of culture. That's why I love Python.
Not quite right. :-) JavaScript is not truly OO. You can have a prototype method called from a callback and find that 'this' will not necessarily be the value of the object it was prototyped onto.

It's really tricky, and I often have to .bind functions after I've noticed they're not working.
Was the data allocated on stack or heap when using pointers? I would assume the later as it's not stated explicitely and perhaps there is something to win here for short-lived values.

Boston Dognamics - AKA how to get acquired by Google.
That's such a BS comment that gets trotted out every time something like this is discussed. It's meaningless. The invention of the AK47 and its ease of manufacture led to its proliferation which led to more people being able to kill than would otherwise have been possible. Don't wilfully ignore the underlying message by using bullshit quips.
2mm thank GOD we have standards. But I have to wonder what are the 2.1mm maggots counted as? Oh well gotta go time for LUNCH!
There is a trade-off, there, however. Someone is more likely to use a non-lethal weapon than a lethal one, including police, etc - but non-lethal weapons are still very intimidating.

With enough non-lethal weapons, it might make abuse of government power more likely, not less - training mace sprays and tazers on protesters is more acceptable than just mowing them down with bullets, but disperses crowds just as well.

Yet, time and time again, these posts come up and the comments contain a not-insignificant of anecdotes about hiring processes that resulted in high failure rates in interviews, so they hire someone kinda smart anyway and teach them the concepts that other interviewers failed to answer satisfactorily in the interviews. Why ask at all, then?
The Great Purge by the NKVD during Stalin's time was directly responsible for the death of almost 1.5 million people. Those killed indirectly (starved to death because of poor decision making by collectivist workers because the more intelligent people were jailed/killed) vastly exceeds that figure.

Indeed, I've spent most of the last year and a half in Armenia (and some time in Germany), and have had to come up with elaborate VPN + NAT (for Netflix) / Squid proxy (for Hulu+) setups through the US to get the content I already pay for, with my American Visa, from my American bank, homed to my American address.
I wonder how organic/non-organic affect the average number of fly eggs? I would assume that non-organic tomatoes would have less fly eggs and maggots, but I'm not educated in the subject.
My experience interviewing "Full-stack" developers indicates that it can be a vanity title devs assign to themselves to be more marketable. Unfortunately, I've found their skillsets to be very lop-sided.

Typically, I'd interview full-stack developers with lots of front-end experience and skills (based on their projects and code samples) with very limited backend experience or skills, or they were backend engineers who knew the ins-and-outs of robust, scalable backends, familiar with AMQP etc, but couldn't horizontally center div or modify the prototype of an object in JavaScript (let alone know that JS used prototype-based inheritance).

And then of course there's the 3rd dimension to full stack which is DevOps.

If you're just starting out you need people who can do all 3, even if they're kinda mediocre at some of the parts. But when you grow, and your product starts maturing, you need expertise in all areas to really have a polished product. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with something that either has a really polished front-end but a dog-slow and unreliable backend or vice-versa.
No, I have been meaning to, but the drives spin down when idle and it is a Haswell CPU which has decent power saving features as well so It will be nowhere near $30/month.
The problem is, it's even more subtle than that. Sometimes, the right way to do something is by setting classes (or even, god forbid, inline styles) on the DOM using JavaScript, and sometimes it's better to use CSS. Sometimes it's debatable which way is better.

It's definitely a tricky area of development, that's for sure; pitfalls and subtleties abound.
I expect he assumes you are already familiar with Keynes:
"In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic.

"As we know that those types of judgements are awarded, we can easily disprove that corporations own the judicial system."

Negative. On the list of things that could be used to prove a lack of corporate ownership of the courts, that falls very close to irrelevant. Just because damages for and against various entities of varying power, wealth, and importance, does not necessarily mean a lack of control. While a C level or two might get fired for something egregious enough, to the kinds of corporations we are talking about, a court damage is just another business cost and isn't that big of a deal. You win some, you lose some...

Let's not forget there are two court systems. The real key, is not in the civil courts, which I would agree with you are largely tipped in the favor of corporations over citizens (and sometimes in favor of more powerful corporations), but in the criminal courts. It is in the criminal courts where the real "ownership" of the court system comes into play.

To take a look at the numbers behind the private prison industry, especially as it it relates to non-rights violating crime, and say that it is easy to disprove that corporations own the judicial system, is naive and ill-informed at best. At the very least there is much more to be discussed before such powerful conclusion could be reached.

Let us take for example, that an FBI whistleblower contact of Sibel Edmonds who was part of the vetting of judicial candidates says that anytime he came back and said a candidate was clean, they were immediately dropped from the roster. The implication is that only dirty, and therefore more easily controlled, people would be allowed to take the position. Or major supreme court cases where clear conflicts of interests were present, and yet a member of SCOTUS would not recuse themselves, with almost no backlash. With the well known for decades tactics of blackmail of the NSA on judges and their 6 degrees of KBacon just coming to light to the public, the real kicker to keep in mind is that Snowden was working for a corporation, not directly for NSA itself, and yet still got access to all this information!

I would venture to say that any kind of in depth study of the judicial system would show that the rule of law itself is in tatters, and the corruption is expanding in every corner. Such is the path of a nation who has forgotten the reasons behind The Great Rising, but that is another discussion entirely.
Thanks for the link...really helpful and validates our hypothesis.
The world is a bigger more violent place than that. There are presently hundreds of thousands murders each year.

So something like 2 million people have been murdered the last 5 or 6 years.

Hey pedalpete, unfortunately we don't support legacy Windows Phone yet, but we do support Windows Phone 8+.

As for your question regarding a stolen phone, in addition to built-in device security (such as a PIN lock or remote wipe) we've provided a number of features that should help users in such a situation: First, the LaunchKey mobile app comes with two in-app knowledge factors (a numberless combo lock and a standard PIN lock) that can be enabled to prevent access to the LaunchKey app itself. Second, a user can enable geofencing or add a Bluetooth factor to prevent the device from authorizing outside specific geographical zones or when unconnected to specified Bluetooth devices (a FitBit, iBeacon, etc.).

While in theory an attacker could disable these services within the app, we've assigned 60 minute delays to creating or removing geo-fences and Bluetooth device factors. The idea being that you should realize your phone/device is gone within an hour, and within that time you can use our third protection: remotely unpair a device via the LaunchKey website or via another paired device, thus disabling that device.

Thanks for your feedback and please let us know if you have any other questions or comments!

(disclosure: I'm a co-founder of LaunchKey)

"I can book my holidays and put my hours in on the company's intranet"? :D
I am not sure this is feasible in practice. The government is not a business so "competing" isnt a fair rubric. The government has unlimited resources and does not have to "make a profit". I dont know how you could create an apples to apples comparison. In the business world it's easy...profit.

Companies reputation is a fuzzy number too. As the stock market adage goes "past performance does not guarantee future success". Sure brand reputation means something but how do you measure that and create equal comparison...across hugely disparate government contracts. Comparing the US Census contract (yes this is contracted out almost entirely) to the F35 contract would be absurd.

I do not necessarily have the end all solution. I tend to favor smaller government because I am not sure our current political system scales to be able to execute large projects (I tend to think the ideas behind many large scale projects are correct but fail when you consider the costs of implementation within our political constraints).
Because how would you like it if I gave you a hamburger (opt-out!) and didn't mention that it came intentionally mixed with e.coli ?
Interesting comparison, as shipping containers may also be used for nefarious purposes the world over, but it's not a thought that immediately comes to mind unless it's invited by comparing them with a cheaply mass-produced gun.
The right course of action would of course be a combination of

a) reduced withdrawal limits

b) replaced cards, ASAP
The definition of war victim is debatable, but I'm pretty sure any sensible definition will result in casualties much higher than 2 million since 1945. The number of soldiers of the North Vietnamese forces who died seems to be around 1 million, for example. If you include civilian casualties -- and why wouldn't you -- it seems that the Vietnam War alone cost almost 2 million people their lives.

The number of murders seems to be around 450000 per year, world wide, with, I assume, lower numbers in the past due to a lower overall population. Still, easily more than 2 million since 1947.

I'm not saying that in either of those figures the AK47 (or, in fact, any small arms) were significantly involved, but that wasn't the question.

Insert comment about how changed titles make entire threads of conversation make it seem like people are talking about different things
I was under the impression that these policies are opt-out, rather than opt-in, so many are on by default. Since default settings are pretty much never changed (organ donation rates are the canonical example here), that's potentially an issue.

Second, and this is important, the filters aren't controlled at the level of an individual user, but at the level of a subscriber. So as the article says, an abusive partner/parent can prevent their spouse or children from accessing resources that could help them - that's why there is outrage about blocking Childline - a site where you can report child abuse.

Combine on-by-default with "blocking resources for abused minors," and you have what people are complaining about, here.

Sounds like a BS way to change the argument. I don't think the parent poster was suggesting that these guns somehow rose up and chased down another person to have them killed. We all understand people were the root cause. Guns don't cause violence but they definitely help.

I've spent time in Iraq as a soldier and a contractor. I've personally used a blade and a firearm against another human being. As a civilian I own an assault rifle and a pistol because I am very confident in their abilities over knives and my hand to hand skills.
