DISQUS

Nope, sorry, the Mexicans already took it.

The site www.clickpass.com is requesting access to your Google Account for the product(s) listed below.

Google Contacts - http://www.google.com/

Why do you need access to my contacts?

I can see a real use for a service like clickpass - but giving you access to my contact list? I don't think so.

They probably already know each other. I can't imagine a police officer in any force letting their guard down like this with complete strangers.

Those numbers come from a source who pulled them out of his ass, and there's no reason to believe they're even within an order of magnitude of the real numbers.

It strikes me that there may very well be fine reasons why these questions aren't solved by a recipe --whether it be because something's insoluble or perhaps if its very notion presents a transgression of the mail RFCs. Still I think that there are very good reasons for addressing them.

I do appreciate this posting's intent, and would like to say "Thank you" for it.

I must offer a critical set of remarks.

This recipe does little good for those seeking to utilize the notion of a distribution group as they've come to know it from the context of other e-mail clients.

The pared-down approach of only having a single recipient as comprised by a *group* does nothing to answer the inevitable and relevant questions about how to reproduce familiar functionality in the field of the GMail client.

I found this posting while looking for a recipe for using the GUI to name a single recipient and have each and every member of a user-defined group receive a message that appears to be addressed to a single group name with no explicated CC or TO field constituents.

Perhaps you can add this, or revise the post with an appeal to the reading community to make it less self-evident than the GMail interface itself.

Thank you for the starting point!

Of itself, this was a responsible and mature decision, in that I don't doubt it will save lives. However, Obama must do three things to prevent this being just another whitewash. (1) Release a full written description of the pictures (2) Commit to releasing the pictures publicly by the end of his first term. (3) Prosecute those responsible as his duty under US law and under international treaties. Failure to faithfully execute his this sworn duty would make him an accessory after the fact.

I don't know what good and bad 'mos are. We could have prevented the Fedora incident, though. I blame myself.

And I fail at irony too :/

What did you do wrong this week? You already know my woes.

How depressing...

Dude, you need to change your font color/background color contrast ratio. I'm trying to read your post, and my head is about to explode. I'm not trying to be a dick, but seriously, the post is hard to read.

“I’m a new Christian, trying to live a pure life,” said Josue G. Ortiz-Santana ’11. “So I am trying to learn about why pornography is detrimental to both men and women.”

Typical christian - already has the answer he wants, now is looking for evidence to support it.

I think that's a parody. Because it can't honestly be real.

We can probably take it for granted that most technocrats are ideologues, as long as the relevant technical field is riven by ideologies.

I rather think that Felix is referring to a government of ideologues who are not technocrats - who, indeed, may not appear to have any relevant technical expertise whatsoever. Then his remark makes more sense, but how relevant it is to reality depends on your allegiances to administrations past and present, no?

My back problems also disappeared after a few weeks with an Aeron. But a few years with the Aeron gave me pelvic floor neuralgia with possible pudendal nerve entrapment. Herman Miller, I want my $1000 back!

Thanks John.

I think linguistics is like 115% or something.

I'm a little creeped out that I'm #5 on your list of search terms. That's a bit...weird.

Why is Malaysia so high?

They used a hammer to drive screws into wood but found that it didn't work well. Then they invented a machine to strip the threads from the screws so that they could continue to use the hammer.

Even if civil servants do agree to carry out explicit orders from their elected leaders, they still have vastly more influence than contemporary accounts of democratic theory assigns to them.

A number of professors are top on the list, but their salaries are funded from grants, although their paychecks are administered by the state payroll system. They are paid through the state, but not by the state.

Been a while since I was in Austin ...

> PHP is secure. Perl scripts tend to have more security holes.

You _have_ to be joking. PHP's security record is the butt boy of the entire webdev world. Have the PHP folks clued in yet that parameterized queries are mandatory and why? Take a look at Secunia some time; any software in PHP is a big security risk.

The Perl community, the Python community, even the Ruby community -- hell _every_ community has a better security record than PHP, at least for SQL injection attacks. Maybe for other attacks too; pop quiz: what's a CSRF attack? I'd wager my next week's income that any non-PHP webdev is more likely to know the answer to that than a PHP one.

I'm not a fan of Perl at all, but I am a sysadmin, and I've learned a deep loathing and distrust of PHP software as a result. The only PHP software we allow to run in our infrastructure -- we have to since a boss insists on his fucking wordpress -- is kept hidden on a single non-critical box with zero logical and physical access to any other system (we rent a box far from our network just for it), and everyone knows why.

It truly boggles my mind that you're unaware of such universally-known knowledge. I'd be terrified of anything you write, man.
