Yeah, at least the first one was succinct.

Murakami is aces at making you feel good about your literary hoity-toityness. But I, for one, have better things to think about than the opium dreams of some oversexed wit-lit writer. There are no real ideas or insights there. It's fluff.

Now, Dostoevsky or Tolstoy...

Really, why not try proving that a particular digit should be uniformly distributed? I'll give you a minute.

Not done yet? I'll give you a hint: Benford's Law shows why it doesn't have to have a uniform distribution. The original critique is likely fallacious.

I looked up the story. It's sort of bizarre. Unless he had no supervisor and reported directly to the mayor, he didn't have much justification for not turning over the passwords at the get-go.

That's the one thing that confuses me. He still hasn't turned over any passwords, right? Why not?

Moron. A correct statement, maybe, would be that "corporate censorship is not prohibited by the first amendment of the American constitution under current SCOTUS interpretation."

Saying that corporate censorship has no relation to free speech is wrong and stupid. It's a very important consideration when looking at speech issues.

It's magnetic. Self-clean mode on your oven would probably do the job.

I believe that "Critical" updates usually need to be remote.

From your link, it looks like it was patched as an "Important" security vulnerability.

All true statements, but pointless because you left out at least one freedom: people are also free to complain until Ubuntu does something about it to save their brand.

I think that the submitter wrongly believes that these sensors are going to report back to Apple over the internet or somesuch. Hence the faux concern.

You mean that they're only a part-time patent troll.

There's already a wonderful way to deflect asteroids. It's called Jupiter.

Stroustrup alludes to it in his article, but I think that the point needs to be emphasized. Concepts need to primarily be about making the experience of using and creating templates easier. It needs to be about fixing the sort of error you mentioned.

The problem with the current proposal is that it tried to be too many things to too many people. Concept supporters need to regroup and come up with a streamlined concepts proposal that concentrates on making the language easier and simpler.
