Didn't realize I wasn't logged in when I made that post

That is so freaking cool!

I guess it was too much to hope for

It totally depends on your audience. Is this code something that must be read by one person or a hundred? If its one other person, it probably doesn't matter unless they have strong feelings. If its 100 people then you should have a standard template so people don't waste time arguing. Personally, I know that my code will be read during a code review of about 5 people. I need to make sure that all of those 5 people are comfortable reading it. For example, I happen to be working in C# and some of my co-workers hate the var type declaration, so I don't use it. Some of them have strong feelings about always using braces, so I do. At the end of the day, as long as your code is easily understandable the minutia of style guides are just to keep other people from getting their knickers in a twist. That can be far more important than whatever code you are working on.

Why is this tagged as idle? It looks like a great idea for at risk women. I didn't realize this was /. - news for 6th graders.

The summary is silly, the real story here is the wristwatch. From glancing through the article and the patent it looks like Google Glass, but on a transparent LCD screen that you look through instead of VRD. That could be cool for people who feel uncomfortable with a laser projecting an image onto their retina. (Not me though, I'm hoping to replace my tv with netflix streamed to a VRD asap)

Because many people outside the US don't have the concept of free speech as deeply ingrained in their culture as we do. They think the US government is at worst in league with the video's creator and at best complicit by allowing the video to remain uncensored. The fact that he is going to jail can maybe shake some of the idea that they are complicit.
