Intelligence is recognizing failure.
Wisdom is acting upon that.

In one case, the speech can still be heard or read, in the other it can't.

There's a difference between speech with consequences and censored speech.

OTOH, A typical web developer has to spend a lot of time trying to create a single HTML codebase that works across all browsers.
Restrictive syntax validation in browsers wouldn't be as big a problem if all browsers could agree on what that syntax actually does.

It's a problem of trying to solve the problem of bad standards by introducing yet another standard, which ends up not replacing any of the old standards.

The problem with XHTML is that it would never be able to stand on it's own.
Even if all web developers started creating perfect XHTML code, we'd still have a huge legacy that would require all the browser kludges XHTML was supposed to fix.
XHTML is best described as such: http://xkcd.com/927/

IPv6 doesn't suck. We're just not feeling the pain of IPv4 enough to care.

Sony's script writing department.

Can't you tell they've gotten a lot better, lately?

Likewise, the public still hasn't gotten the shopping list and blueprints required to make the bomb in the [insert random terrorist attack] attacks.

I do agree the "North Korea did it" storyline seems a bit off.

Kitkat is killing Lollipop uptake the same way cars are killing rocket-car uptake.

There is no Lollipop upgrade available for any of my devices yet.

Apart from Apple fanboys, I don't think anybody is stupid enough to buy a new device just to get a software upgrade.

Based on the similarity in names, these porn movies are quite obviously infringing on the copyright of these open source projects.
How about sending DMCA requests to get these porn movies banned from Google?
Two can play this game!

(as a side note; cue bad joke replies in 3.. 2.. 1..)

People hate Uber not just because they're breaking the law, but exactly because they are amoral.

Just read their Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... and try saying with a straight face that how Uber is operating is OK.

How about just giving Uber a large kick in the behind.
These guys seem to be intentionally breaking laws continuously.
At some point they can only be labeled as a criminal organisation.

Leap time is due to the time it takes for the earth to rotate around the sun, not the time it takes for the earth to spin around it's own axis.

The earth doesn't rotate around the sun at a completely predictable speed (=something fishy), which is why leap seconds cannot be announced a great deal ahead of time (or extrapolated into the past).

Also, if you WERE to extrapolate at one second every year, that's about 2,000 seconds to year 1, not 13,797. Besides, I have no problem envisioning days that might be a few hours longer or shorter than ours. The average human would not even notice it.

It should also be noted that they started adding leap seconds in 1972. The fact that from 1972 to 1979 there were so many was mainly because they were trying to catch up without introducing too many leap seconds at once. In fact they even added two leap seconds in first year!

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second#Slowing_rotation_of_the_Earth) explains this better than I did.

Atomic clocks are extremely acurate long term, they just don't measure the "wobbly" time it takes for the earth to rotate around the sun.

Good to hear. What is your website URL?
I'd like to place an order right in the last second of June for a product with a discount ending in June, then sue you for not applying the discount even though the order was placed on June 30th, 23:59:60 UTC (which is probably somewhere in the middle of the day for you).
