no one makes you use facebook, if you are dumb enough to just give your information to strangers maybe you deserve it

I went to megaupload once and the main page tried to install a virus, luckily sandboxie prevented any damage

then no

the us troops should be brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan and sent to the borders, especially Mexico to fight drug war

I am always shocked at the number of android users (possible apple too - I don't know) that just install apps without any worry about what the apps actually do. I have seen simple battery monitor apps that want internet access and access to your contacts. Come on people, pay attention !

the world can survive on its own, the U.S. is not the center of the universe or the world. The idea that debt is a good thing can only be a stupid idea. I must have missed those news reports around the country where they thank the U.S. for their debt so they can survive another day

they must have a weak case, you can not be held liable for unreleased or proof of concept products

well I think that is

some good points, normalization however is overrated in the real world (but always needed to some degree), sometimes is best to duplicate some columns to cut down on number sql calls and for some reporting needs

this article is so off the mark, I worked 40+ hours at full time job and went to college at the same time, where would I find time to code an android app or such? today I spend all my coding time for my job - which I can't just take and show other employers. I dont have any content to put on a website. If I did have time to code apps I would be making money off them and not need to work for your company

I thought copyright didn't apply to charities in most cases

when I first got into computer science my interest was at its all time high, years later the lack of standards (especially web development), have annoyed me so much I really don't want to code at all or look at code outside of work. Why can't we code once for all browsers? why can't database queries be more standardized? Why couldn't ms / *nix use common EOF and other attributes since they have known about each other for decades now? why do I need a 68 in 1 card reader ( I suspect to get more money out of me than a 5-1 in card reader) Why does every electronic device needs its own adapter? I could go on and on as it seems everything invented has to have its own connectors and way of doing things. Seriously coding would be so easy with some real standards

DOS attacks can damage the economy and cost a people jobs and/or limit new job growth, these actions only hurt people. They belong behind bars.

put a group of politicians in a maze and tell them to find the money as fast as possible, .................. bingo - best algorithm ever

how about uniform standards and less versions of sql, less browsers, less version of unix/linux, and maybe even standards in linux so that installations and menu additions and gui stuff was easier like windows. Yes linux folk open source 1000 different distros is not helping linux take over the desktop. And must windows really move stuff around each version just to confuse people and make them relearn again? But most of all why must applications be given so much freedom in terms of operating system. Can't the os keep more of these details in the kernel and limit the damage applications and viruses do to the pc. I don't think windows or linux are the future, I think someone has to create a new secure operating system that is easier to use than windows or linux and maybe doesn't let developers and users run free like the wild west. As much as I like all the insane things I can do with C++ memory/pointers , and changing the os and windows start text to anything I like there is no need for this to be open to users. The os needs to be more like a vault with bank security guards controlling it. And do we really need so many programming language, Sun wouldn't give MS java freedom so they create C#; etc. ruby , perl, smalltalk, etc.. is this really helping? And last why is javascript allowed to do stuff like control my back button , etc.. it has been years and no one can deprecate this dangerous behavior??
