We need http-streaming in html5 VLC supports it, why not the browsers?

You don't own media content. You own a license for media content. Your use of the media is dictated by its license.

I have never bought an Apple product. Not even a iTunes file.

Apple is still doing well, though.

Excellent. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Same here.

The problem with cryptography is that if a human is supposed to remember the key, the key is probably weak and could be brute-forced, and if a computer remembers the key, the computer could be compromised and the key stolen.

To me, that's the biggest issue.

But that was because the Guild navigators needed the spice to fold space, to enable space travel.

Therefore, SpaceX.

(I can imagine Elon in a spice tank, with orange vapours).

(I include the British spelling since he's South African (he's also American and Canadian--do they say vapours in Canada?) Am I off-context enough yet?)

YouTube is becoming OurTV.

I've been looking a the cintiq too, and may still do that, because wacom caters to illustrators directly.

You mean it took 266 years to get that fact right? (From 1510 to 1776)

Sort of like two parents who deep down despise each other yet act normal, for the sake of the children, but who don't realize that the children know exactly what's going on and wish their parents would either forgive each other and love again or just divorce and move on.

"People over Process" shouldn't be only for Agile software development.

SELECT B.x FROM tableA A JOIN tableB B on A.foreign_key = B.index WHERE A.index = 5

That's very simple, if you know SQL.

I think

The terms of his security clearance cannot be allowed to nullify his oath to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States, can they?

The first rule of security is you do not talk about security.

Awww, poor Verizon...

I just make my own urls look correct, easy, and easy to type (not 988 characters of goop).

True diversity is diversity of thought.

True that.

I use SQL extensively, and never run into all these problems other people run into.

I also don't use ORM. there's so much you can do well and fast with SQL.

(I've also seen dreadful abominations in sql, like stored procedures that dynamically generate code for pivot tables... wait, that was me who did that)

I live in the first world, and I want one of those too.

I need pygraphviz in 3 and it's not.

:(

I guess I have to roll up my sleeves on that one.

It's a dependency for networkx, to draw diagrams...

Exactly. It's not Amazon.com.

Wait, you're telling me that the book is available elsewhere (like the barnes & noble website), but not amazon? What's stopping average joe to go to a different seller and buy it there?

If Amazon doesn't want to sell something, even a book, that is entirely their right.

Why don't the publishers make it easy to buy books from them, instead of all this rigamarole about rights and regions? I want to go to your website, pay with a credit card, and you ship it to me, anywhere in the world, and fast.

No, instead, I go to a local bookstore, they don't have it.

I go to Amazon, they have it. I order it, two days later it's at my door, for 30% off the price on the back of the book.

So everybody does the same as me, and now Amazon is the 800-lbs gorilla in the room, throwing its weight around, and you're complaining?

You had the opportunity, 10 years ago, to kill Amazon, and you didn't, because you wanted to keep charging us more for less service.

Tough.

If the patent portfolio of these companies that go bankrupt sold at auction to satisfy creditors? Who buys these, other patent-trolls?

That might be a problem right there.

I edit my own site by hand. I ssh into linux vps, navigate to folder, launch nano, edit, save, exit.

Then I go to my browser, hit F5, and presto, my change is displayed.

Ahhh, and I don't even use CSS! Only html5.

I use the following tags: h1, h2, h3, h4, p, ul, ol, li, br, strong, and i.

I use © and &

And I let the browser render as it wishes.

I'm using css less and less these days, and letting the browser decide how to render html5 on its own...

Except my boss isn't happy with that concept.

Well, I don't "work" 80 hours a week.

I work 40 hours a week.

I commute 8 hours a week.

I volunteer (he comes with me sometimes) 2 hours a week.

Lunch breaks: 5 hours.

(so far 50 hours)

Then I do all the routine stuff that needs to be done: Grocery shopping, hardware store, car maintenance, etc.

Then I spend another 15 hours a week working on extra stuff (learning, following the news, doing stuff for clients, coding).

Then there is the social events, the school events, church on Sunday, basketball practice on Tuesday at 7 and games on Saturday at 1 or 2.

Then there is sleep, and making dinner, cleaning the house, etc.

In the end, there is about 10 hours a week for just me and him time (watch movie, play games, go out and explore the world, park, read together, etc)

For me? I'm lucky if I get 2 hours a week for me. I'm even more lucky if they're contiguous.

(No time for TV, you notice, and precious little for computer games.)
