This isn't about outright communism, it's about fixing the capitalist mistakes of the last 50 years quickly. Mistakes made by ignoring the role of private debt in the economy. Allowing the financial sector and bad economic beliefs to control the money supply.

Greece's government is insolvent. They can't honour their debts, so how are we going to deal with them? Lend them more money so they can pay the interest and delay the inevitable?

Their population is unemployed. How are they going to earn enough to pay their personal debts? Slavery? How does taking more money from the poor through austerity measures help them?

The system has already failed. The people have cast their vote for change. Be thankful they haven't elected a fascist, power hungry government like the last time we saw this level of unrest in Europe.

Write simple code and let the compiler find a faster way to run it. It's a problem that is being actively worked on.

And on the LLVM mailing list this recently, there has been talk of translating recursive code into a loop or stack based state machine in order to allow vectorisation, unrolling, common sub expression elimination, and all of the other optimisations from their bag of tricks.

Disable that in firefox's inspector for "<div class="col_2">" and the content suddenly fills the page.

Still, none of this personal information should ever be sent unencrypted over email.

Well, thats better than investing in "Rouge Android Startups"...

Cyanogen mod don't have access to the source code for all of the drivers required to run the hardware. So they have to copy the binaries from the manufacturer.

If the manufacturer doesn't support new versions of android, with newer linux kernels, there's not much they can do.

I also had a script that would tweak the beep pitch and duration and play the close encounters theme. With the option of using a different xserver for each beep. Combined with a script that would use finger to display a map of the terminals people were connected from, and terminals that were xhost+ when noone was logged in ....

Google ran a massive fuzz testing effort against the plugin and found 400 unique looking crashes that were resolved by about 80 patches. Yeah, the quality isn't looking that great...

Crippleware on Windows always used to amuse me. Oh you've disabled the button because I haven't paid? [poke]...[poke]... There now it's enabled again. Oh, you forgot to check if it should be enabled when processing the click event? Tough.

Sometimes I was far more subtle. I'd start slowly cycling the background color, one RGB increment at a time...

I believe that github uses the reply email address to attribute comments. eg github sent the message to "@torvalds" and anyone who replies to it must be "@torvalds". I'm guessing both of you "Replied All" and included the same github email as recipient.

These days the most effective measure you can take is to install an ad blocker. That will prevent the vast majority of drive by installs. Second, I'd say you need to be very sceptical of freeware software installers. Using a service like Chocolatey to find and install popular utilities will help here. Third, I'd recommend installing Process Explorer as a replacement for the windows Task Manager. Get a feel for what programs are running in the background, and investigate anything you don't yet recognise particularly after installing something new.

I've always pictured some of those old testament laws as bad precedents based on one off cases. eg an individual goes around bragging about their new "blended fiber" garment. Instead of pointing out the sinfulness of their pride, ban blended fibers outright.
