I am exactly the type of person Kick-Ass is targeted towards. If it was not available to me via torrent, I would not watch it at all. As it is, I have it downloaded, but not watched yet. There is no possible universe…
I just added an RSS feed to the site that contains all the posts from people you follow: beta.fedang.com/rss/<username> This is a public feed, so anyone can see who you're following - I plan on making this an…
When you get templates working, it does feel pretty good - you can get an approximation of the power of functional languages, all the while knowing that your code has been directly mapped to assembly. I don't know if…
Have we seriously learned nothing from Iraq? Take out the leadership, and you are left with a failed country and a population that is likely to be hostile. Next you'll tell me that we'll walk into NK as liberators...
You can hardly point to the lack of the incident that the security measure was designed to prevent as evidence to the pointlessness of said security measure. If no-one's ever climbed over the walls at a prison, does…
I would have really liked to have seen a video sample at various stages of the evolution :-(
Without unleashing the market upon pot, criminals could still make large amounts of money on the black market. More to the point though - as the article says, the burden of proof is on the side advocating restriction!…
Worse - it's 20 million people preventing 17 million people from enjoying a leisure activity through force. Democracy sucks.
That's a horrible reason. No law will ever be perfect - it's all about steps in the right direction. If we wait for things to be perfect, nothing will ever change. I find it very disheartening that some of the very…
As is believing that politicians would interpret a low voter turnout as anything but a net gain - it just means they can expend less effort required to shift the balance in their favour.
According to wikipedia, nearly of americans didn't vote. It doesn't seem to make sense to say that voting for a 3rd party is a waste of time if half of the population who agree with you...
I'm Australian, and we have compulsory voting. We also have compulsory education, as one of the basic requirements for democracy is a body informed voters. I think one of the positive effects of it is that it forces…
The only message that not voting for anyone sends is that you're happy with anyone. If everyone informed chooses not to vote for anyone, all that does is give more power to the uninformed.
The subset of us aussies who actually know about censorship largely have. The trouble is, there isn't enough of us who care.
You should definitely learn Python 2. Almost all libraries still are on 2, so if you tried to go straight to 3, you'd have to struggle your way around most newbie documentation on the internet - Especially if you're…

I open up my Macbook and it's instantly on. You don't need to turn it off when you're finished using it - it really doesn't take that much power in standby. -- Ayjay on Fedang
I wonder how much place there is for such a slow-moving organisation in the incredibly fast-paced internet ...

C++ is the highest-level language that I can accurately guess the assembly that will be actually run by the processor. YMMV whether that's a blessing or a curse, though!
thankyou that was inspirational.
I'm not a vim guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I still don't take what he says at face value. I don't trust ANYTHING I see on the internet just because it's there! Your criticism seems to be due to the belief…
At my last company, I had to code in this style, and it sucks. You get into ridiculous situations where you have to somehow fail gracefully with absolutely no context or information about how to do so. Exceptions are a…
I'd guess we solve the normal way - googling the filename with '+filetype:torrent'?
Or, you could think of the legitimate uses ... someone who just wants to offer something for download, and then has to pay a fortune in bandwidth. Instead, someon uses this service, and we all benefit! -- Ayjay on Fedang
