I like the 6502 instruction set better. But it does stink to have to chop up your limited address space for I/O.

There are probably 100x more servers sitting in server farms running websites (and burning power) than need to be because companies would rather hire 10 cheap Ruby or PHP programmers than one "expensive" Erlang/Elixer programmer. So there is some harm to bad programmers, even for non-critical websites.

My cat has paws, not hands. And thank God for that, too, otherwise she'd get into too much trouble.

It's not broken. Sometimes real newspapers that hire real reporters and do real reporting charge for their content. Not everything has to be free.

BTW: The Jerkcity web comic shown in one of those screenshots is still going strong as a daily web comic:

What a great idea! Every monday I take a picture of myself. I think I'll add a photo of my computer desktop and a picture of my physical office space, too. Those will be fascinating 10, 20, 30 years from now. (I'm 53 so I don't know how much further I'd go!)

I do this every year when I go to DEFCON! It's always a good idea to keep an old laptop around for this purpose.

Some of their security-by-obscurity tips I don't think would help much against an FBI or CIA though.

Didn't Mike Nifong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Nifong go to jail for wrongfully _prosecuting_ those Duke Lacrosse players?

I didn't understand the title because only a Judge and/or Jury can convict people.

I do the same thing! If there's a book I want to keep, I scan it with my DIY bookscanner and toss the book away.

I, too, used to dream of having a big home library. Now I dream of a home with almost nothing in it. (If it weren't for music scores, which I use at the piano, there wouldn't be any books in the house other than what I'm currently reading and hasn't been scanned yet.)

I felt sick hearing that a book has been tossed away.

Agreed; your local library happily accepts donations (assuming you haven't cut the spine off).

The local library doesn't really like donations. Most get tossed. A separate charity takes them, tosses most, and conducts sales to raise money for the library with what's left.

But the fact is, if I'm retaining a copy of the book (with my scan), I can't give the book away. I still have it. That would be stealing. It is really disheartening to see people here on Hacker News who believe that intellectual property should be stolen and/or has no value. That's disturbing.

Me too, I can't do it!

I buy used books on Amazon frequently (about 5/month)--when the Kindle version's price is too high or isn't available. It's a great deal and I've rarely been disappointed.
