This is an interesting data set even though some of the relations are messed up. The biggest one being that it says C is influenced by Java.

Actually it looks bold on Linux too.

I have the same problem too on Linux. I've found it is fixed by removing the padding-right on the logo and I've tried telling them that on the mailing list. No one will believe me though even if though I have multiple pictures documenting the fact. =/

Actually he's right. There's four: PST, MST, CST and EST.

There are four time zones from one endpoint to the other including the end points, three time zone transitions between the end points, and two time zones that are between the time zones containing the endpoint.

I'd be hesitant to call any of those numbers wrong when offered as the number of timezones between SF and NY, either three or four probably match the most common uses specifically related to timezones, though two would probably best match the usual use of "number of Xs between Y and Z".

What would be nice is if they included the summarized legal text under More Details. So I could click more details and actually see what the ToS says for that particular summary.

Why is the password stored in plain text "for now"? What is so hard about running bcrypt or pbkdf2 against the password before storing it in the database?

I was just getting this out as soon as possible. There's nothing hard about it, I just wanted to put it out there and keep working on it.

  Your neighbor committed a crime. Hitler committed
  a crime. Your neighbor is literally Hitler.

This is your analogy.

I'm responding to someone that was indirectly saying:

  - Dictatorships randomly enforce laws.
  - The US Government is randomly enforcing laws.
  - The US Government is therefore a dictatorship.

The US is acting dictatorial.

So...

  - A walrus eats food.
  - Obama eats food.
  - Obama is acting like a walrus.

The real issue is that the idea that only dictatorships have some selective enforcement of laws is unsubstantiated.

So...

- A grocer who uses plastic bags within the city of Seattle is breaking the law

- A mass murderer is breaking the law

- A mass murderer is acting like a grocer who uses plastic bags within the city of Seattle

Magnitude matters.

Oh god, so he is a walrus..

You don't have to not leave it in the car, you should just cover it up or hide it.

If you have a blanket in the trunk then hide your computer under it if you have to leave the car, or put it under the passenger's seat.

Some equipment (e.g.: Bluetooth-enabled electronics) literally advertises its presence even when concealed. I've heard stories of thieves canvassing car parks in up-market areas with Bluetooth detectors and swiping Apple devices in particular.

The reason we haven't signed the Declaration for the Rights of the Child is because the areas it addresses is a state issue. If the Federal government were to sign such a treaty it would become law. Which is a big no-no since the federal government can't intrude on state issues.

Could we have a referendum on the issue at the federal level, or would it require the states to individually ratify (through state governmental bodies or referendum) the right of an agent of the federal government to sign the treaty and allow it to become state-level law somehow?

I don't know much about law, but I am a fierce advocate of state rights based mostly on the idea that it is far more feasible to have a democratic government that involves millions or tens of millions than one that involves hundreds of millions. This issue is however one place where my ideas trip up. It is kind of embarrassing that we are 1 of 3 (assuming the grandparent comment is correct) countries not to ratify the treaty and the other two are an (essentially) failed state and a brand new one that has to sort its internal self out before working on such things as UN treaties.

Because our federal government doesn't intrude on state issues like marriage laws? Open today's newspaper.
