Started with Redhat 6.2! It was amazing and I did not turn back to Windows. My family was pissed at the fact that I dual booted the family PC!

same! This is worse than paywall. If I don't have a Google account what am I supposed to do? I know it's hard to imagine people who don't have Google accounts but I can assure you that they exist. More importantly, it should be a choice not a requirement!

Maybe there is a market for paid apps and services that do not sell your data?

NAS with HDD and a boat load of RAM can easily saturate 10GbE NIC if you're using it as a media server. Most content on my NAS is cached and rarely touches the disk.

1. Spreading voter misinformation
2. Delegitimizing mail-in ballots
3. Delegitimizing election officials
4. Calling up state election officials to change votes in favor of Trump
5. Filing 200+ BS lawsuits questioning the authenticity of ballots
6. Disenfranchising minorities by gerrymandering
7. 250+ bills have been introduced in various states restricting voter rights
Do you seriously want me to go on?

The Indian middle class has never been more prosperous under any other government. The current ruling government has undertaken fundamental reforms that _all_ political parties have had in their manifestos but nobody has had the political will to execute on it. In fact in the past 7 years there hasn't been an single legitimate instance of corruption or scandal. If this is the dangerous path, please sign me up for more.

Aside from backlogs, India's judiciary is alive and kicking. Better than some of the 'free' countries even. There are enough examples of the judiciary smacking down the ruling government.

I just came to say thank you, Beej! Your guide helped me learn networking and network programming. I love learning by example. Your guide was instrumental in my learning.

You typically do a 302 redirect AFTER the POST authentication. This feels more of a publicity stunt more than anything. It might affect very few use-cases. Bulk of the requests on the web are GETs anyway.

yes because percentage is a great statistical tool. And I agree, a popup is off putting and I cringe everytime I get those. Take that as feedback!
Re:Buying a Cheap Car Using Data

I am sorry if I come off a little rough. It is interesting how you made a data driven decision. However, it is common knowledge that Toyota, Honda are the most reliable cars. That common knowledge is derived from "crowd sourced" data. So while it was nice of you to confirm it with your analysis, it wasn't a necessary step and you would've saved some time and used it instead to look for deals focusing only on those Makes.
Also, next time you have graphs please use colors that are easy to distinguish - purple, pink, violet makes it hard to read the lines. Of course I should probably blame my low quality TN panel for it.
Re:Should I learn javascript?
on Saturday March 30, 2013 @04:12PM (#5466521)
I would recommend learning a language and becoming an expert at it. Right now JS is positioned to be a great language for the web - for two reasons. It's the only, defacto language that can be used in the browser (dart is on it's way but right now it's not here.) Also with Node.js gaining popularity, you can use JS to build server side applications. It's a win-win situation if you know Javascript.

Are you kidding me? The number of tests has nothing to do with the quality of "testing" being done. You could have 5 billion tests and still miss obvious bugs. You're one of those who use LoC as a measure of productivity.

I really wouldn't hire someone who wants to use grep to parse out html[1] :P
Then again, I would not like to work for a place where engineers don't understand this ;)
