Not even then. "Poaching" is a term coined by employers to refer to competitors in a free market who thwart their efforts to keep employees locked into their job for the sole benefit of said employers and to the detriment of the employees. It's a term born of irritation because it thwarts their efforts to control their employees and exploit them. In a free market, employers would monitor conditions and know what their employees were worth and compensate them accordingly so they weren't willing to entertain better offers. On the downside, when the value of the employee decreases, the employer should feel free to reduce salary as well. The sword cuts both ways.

Do you mean these? http://www.hawking.org.uk/vide...

They are quite good, I must say. :-p

Well, thanks for elevating the level of discourse in this thread. I now regret I participated.

Pro tip: If you are going to argue on behalf of science, don't sprinkle your dialogue with expletives and ad hominem attacks. It doesn't cause people to think you're cool, they just dismiss you out of hand as a juvenile crank (and that's an insult to juveniles and cranks).

Raise the level of your game and try again. You seem to have potential, at least.

Best wishes.

You didn't look very hard, did you?

I count 13 papers.

Would you care to share your publication record for comparison? It might help your credibility since your level of troll is at grade schooler levels at the moment.

No, but if the researcher the article cites published his findings in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 09/2009; 106(37):15583-7. DOI:10.1073/pnas.0903620106 9.81 Impact Factor) it's very likely to have some merit. I did do my research before finding a good article summarizing the work.

1. I watched a live coding session a month or so ago and lasted about 10 minutes (the first 5 I ignored because the streamer forgot to turn on audio) before I stopped. This is only useful for those who have enough time on their hands to watch someone code for hours at a time and can't find anything more interesting to watch. I just can't imagine sitting through this all the time.

2. For the developer who is streaming: You can get the same benefit (articulating your thoughts out loud) by using your cat, dog, infant or some inanimate object you can talk to (a Wilson volleyball, perhaps). You'll save tremendous amounts of bandwidth, storage space etc. and won't temp someone who should be making better use of their time to watch you so they can pretend they are doing something productive.

I only allow GMO-free ants to roam my property.

Thanks. If I understand your summary correctly, this sounds like a good security feature, apart from the "killing the process" bit. This seems like a handy mechanism for DOS attacks. Why not just refuse to do the unwanted thing and ignore it, while perhaps logging the attempt?

It's listed at 1.1.0 at the Google Play Store, which might be considered more authoritative that what it says on a web page someone forgot to update.

F-Droid was a 1.0.1 a month ago, so same argument. F-Droid lags a bit behind with their releases, so I suspect they will be updating to 1.1.0 soon.

You know, you could have typed your message, enjoyed the cathartic effect of a little bit of snark, then clicked "Cancel". But no.

Since I'm dignifying you with a response, I'll point out that once the obituary is published, it's too late. You missed the point entirely.

I agree. This might be the only story I can recall in several decades of reading ./ that actually qualifies for the term "stuff that matters". All the best, story submitter. All the best.

CItation needed. Please give examples to support your assertion, along with alternatives of better design.

According to Wikipedia, citing the Dictionary of Jewish Usage, the use of nimrod as slang for dimwitted was first recorded in 1932, but was indeed actually popularized by Bugs Bunny in the 1940s. And apparently nobody knows *why* it became popular as an insult, because there's no real connection between the original meaning and the slang meaning.

That's certainly your prerogative, but I have to wonder why? Do you have something against humor? Must every discussion be nothing but dead serious utterances of grave import? Some "funny" comments are certainly childish or base, but quite a lot of them are quite clever and they add a little fun to the atmosphere of the conversation(s).
