Fair point, I don't know what technology, code or IP was actually included. Did they solve anything the GMail team couldn't solve? reMail is billed as 'email search'. Surely Google are pretty good at email search already?

Without any details released of the deal no one can really tell if it's an acquisition or an "acquisition".

There's a difference between shutting down the product (pownce, etherpad, etc), and just rewriting (reddit, blogger?, youtube? etc) and keeping the product going.
Thanks. As a shortcut I left out countries with multiple timezones, but as you say they should be in there still just multiple times and delineated somehow.

Nothing gets by the HN crowd. :)
I see what your saying; and in truth there is a good point in there.

> For LE officers to whimsically decide

I dont think that is the case necessarily. It's more a careful choice I think.

> "Child porn" has outgrown all reasonable legal bounds and i now used as a general person justification for doing basically anything.

On this we are in agreement. I actually just contributed to a book about the new French web monitoring/filtering laws which are being "legitimized" using child porn as an excuse. We argue that really it has no effect on the "business" of CP and basically it is just political posturing (Ill provide a link if your interested).

SEO Pakistan – SEO Company luqman-technologies.com
As per the question about search engine rankings he expressed, people do not think while they are registering their domain name or selecting a web hosting company, they do not care about SEO and SEM while they are hiring a web design and web development company? Then from Search engine optimization and search engine marketing they expect too much, I am more likely to say, one should hire a SEO Company that provides complete website design and website development services under one roof.

This is awesome. One suggestion/request? If I enter the time in 24hr mode, can it please be left that way? Right now it converts it to am/pm... I don't know why, but my brain only functions in 24hr mode and seeing 14:45 change to 2:45 made me think there was a bug before I noticed the PM next to it.

Otherwise this is immensely useful!

I think "smart parsing textboxes" are the best things ever. I really like the one on letsfreckle.com for time interval entry. Letting users just type in a format that is comfortable to them is so nice.
Exactly what I was always looking for. Have often thought about doing something like this myself. So simple and so useful. Thanks!

But ... tables? Really? Just kidding. Whatever works ^-^
If you're building a multitenant distributed system like GAE, the SQLite blob needs to be stored in a distributed system too, even if you don't need to handle concurrent access.
Trust Violated = Permission Withdrawn
You don't seem to understand how stored views work. This computation cost is felt at insertion time and is not theoretically worse than the exact same computation cost at insertion time in a rdbms to build almost identical index structures.

What current implementations of rdbms's gain you is the ability to write completely ad-hoc queries and get reasonable performance most of the time. This is an implementation advantage, not a theoretical advantage.
Thanks for giving it a close look. I debated these points and came up with arguments on both sides of how updating should work.

I agree more with your tab ordering point. As far as JS execution (deciding which time to update when city changes) I saw arguments both ways and in the end decided to copy the behavior of a unit conversion dashboard widget from Apple. Not a good reason but it served as my starting point.
Well, this is certainly not my blog, and I'm not involved with Gladinet at all; but yes, it does seem like a bit of blog spam in retrospect (this article was actually emailed to me, and I didn't follow through on who the author was).

The reason I posted this article was largely due to the fact that I found their approach of allowing you to migrate cloud providers worthy of discussion compared to current industry products, since this topic has been largely unadressed (as far as I know).

Mind you, I probably could've chosen a better title, but I just used the default one, so for that I do apologize
Third request here for different 24h behavior. I remember hearing the advice "listen to your users" somewhere... so I'll prioritize that. Thanks.
very nice indeed, a lot better than the previous entries, well done for a taking a pretty standard idea and making a much more usable version, hopefully you can start a trend!

I'd agree that you definitely need to take into account date/time adjustments like British Summer Time etc.
Really cool! Minor nits:

* Multiple equivalent GMTs (GMT, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), GMT + 0)...

* GMT+n would ideally be in numeric order [but alpha sort doesn't make this easy, just something to think about]

* Include country name for cities: "Seattle (USA)" ... just gives you that warm fuzzy that you're in the right country.

* Instead of "next day" it might be nice to say "next morning/afternoon/evening/night" or whatever it happens to be. Less mental parsing ("12:30am next day... means really early in the morning right?")

Anyway, great job!
Apparently 9:31 AM in Dublin time is NaN:aN PM in Dubai time...

Besides that, its a nice app.

EDIT: Since I got downvoted for this, let me rephrase in terms of a bug report: My local time is Dublin, Ireland (so UTC) and I entered 9:30 AM as the local time. Then I changed Greenwich to Dubai. The updating was pretty slow, so before it completed, I changed the local time to 9:31 and the output I got was NaN:aN PM. I'm able to reproduce it by following the same steps (though the actual local time entered doesn't seem to matter - just that its changed before the "updating..." text disappears).
When I was in middle school we had these awful typing classes. What I would do is copy paste lines of 0's and 1's to make a page of "binary code" then I'd print a few copies from a random printer in the room. The teacher would see it, think the printer was malfunctioning and turn it off. I'd do this throughout the class until every printer was switched off. Because printing the page of what we typed was part of the lesson once all the printers 'stopped working', the lesson was over and the only thing we could do was sit around and play Stunt Copter until the end of class.
> When accusing someone of a crime that serious you tread with care. There is no 'undo' button on that operation.

Agreed. Im of the opinion we can only deal with the facts of the case; and we have very few of those. Random scenario: he refused to answer questions (for example on the advice of a lawyer) or provide an alibi (I know I am making that up - but things can slant this either way).

> after all, simply monitoring them would give you hard proof

There are strong arguments against that. Firstly, of course, cost. Secondly the privacy argument (could you imagine the fuss if it turned out the police were monitoring potential suspects secretly? :P).

> In the current system you might as well be guilty, even when you are not.

Agreed. I think this is a general problem with the society as well as the system. Im not sure why this investigation was not confidential - most are. Indeed most of those accused and cleared of CP offences are not generally affected (according to the references I have read at least; which are solid, but I admit not my first hand knowledge).

> I can sneak large numbers of files on to your computer

Ofc. Those sort of cases are difficult. We do get cases which come in where a girl has accused an older male of abuse and looking at child porn where the officer has noted they think she may be maliciously lying. The problem is how do you prove things like that - the best way is to grab his machine and have a look for solid physical evidence then go from there.

I dont think you could accuse someone anonymously quite like you suggest and have them arrested straight away.

In this case the CC payment is tangible. In retrospect your probably right and they should have taken more care in investigating his alibi (if he gave it) before pushing the case one. But again we have no information on the sequence of events and who did what - so ultimately all of this is speculation :)

This is the best timezone converter I've ever seen. Nice work.

Though really, I'm surprised Google hasn't added timezone conversion to their various measurement converters. I really just want a single text field that takes input in the format "[time/date] in [location/timezone]." For example, "1:30am PST in UTC" or "Tuesday 5pm in Paris."
Do the same thing you would do in SQL, run the efficient query (you're almost guaranteed have a view for date limited for a specific customer) then filter it based on product. This is exactly what your RDBMS does, and I don't see how you're gaining anything except a different language.

I didn't think I'd ever see the name Schlonglor again.

Here's my story:

I used to be a very avid Warcraft II player. I used KALI for the IPX over TCP/IP emulation to play online through my 14.4 modem.

Anyways, I had gotten really good at playing the game online, thanks to Schlonglor's guides along with lots of practice.

One day I had just finished playing a game, and beat the other person. I started chatting when them, when they told me that they were pretty new to Warcraft II. I asked how they got into it, and she told me, her brother was the Schlonglor! At first I was floored. I couldn't believe it. We talked for quite awhile, and then shes tells me that her brother is there. She then asked if I would like to play against him. Of course I accepted!

My hands were literally shaking at the thought of playing against one of Warcraft II idols. We start playing, and I work faster and harder that I've ever played in a game.

I instantly could tell this guy was him, because the way he played was exactly like all the screenshots I had memorized of his games. (Wayyyy before YouTube, so there were no videos.)

The game progressed, and long(ish) story short, he made some heavy attacks on me, killed my base, and assume he had won. Moments later, my real army and real base that I was hiding moved in, and crushed him.

He was asking me.. "How did you do that??" "Where did that all come from??" I had the most s$%t-eating grin on my face. I was so proud that I had beat him.

He then tells me that he hasn't play for the last few weeks, and was out of practice. I didn't care.. I had still just beaten the Schlonglor!!

Him and I proceeded to chat it up for awhile. He congratulated me on the win, we parted ways, and I never heard from him again.

Soon after I put down the game, figuring there was no way to really beat that experience.

Good memories.. Thanks for bringing them up Alex :)

Summary: BitTorrent users used up lots of space in the NAT port table in Windows NT. Because there are only 64k ports available, this is a big problem if more than a couple of users are using BitTorrent.

Interestingly, they did not not see this as a flaw in the Windows kernel. You can get a data structure which allows 2^48 concurrent connections by NAT on a single IP address if you map based on (destination IP address,port) rather than just (port).

OpenBSD does this, to avoid the very problem these Microsoft people solved by complex tools and a rick roll.
More likely in a Gmail Android app, at this point.
Not a bad idea. It would be handy to have it a keypress away but the benefits from my point of view (the developer's) are almost too great in keeping it a webpage: easier to update, ability to add ads, wider audience, etc.
An additional idea would be a (small? popup?) google earth view where you can click on the locations instead of entering them in the textfields.

It may have to do with the fact that AT&T still includes a yahoo e-mail address with their DSL service. To tell you the truth, I have AT&T DSL service, and I haven't logged into my yahoo e-mail account since the day my service began.

* optional vertical layout for phones, and (to go with that) offline support? Perhaps not quite so minor, I'll admit ;)

Just for the amusement value [1]: My company is looking for programmers. Or more specifically we are looking for people to work at our office in Cambrigde, UK, of Citrix. Almost everything we do is open source and my very own team is hacking with Ocaml (but the other teams us more `normal' languages).

Please drop me a line if you are interested. My mail is matthias.goergens@gmail.com.

You can also find some more text on our recent post on the Haskell mailing list (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/177...).Of course Citrix.com also has some job offers, but like someone said, going directly is better for you, since your CV does not land on a company-wide pile.

I actually learned the most about programming in an optional class about electronic and magnetic fields.

We simulated magnetic or/and electric fields which behave correctly and to accomplish that we actually had to write code. Only a few lines, but all the basic concepts were there.

If not for the enthusiastic physics teacher that class would have never happened. All other (non-optional) computer classes were pretty dull. The teachers were either incompetent (not much knowledge) or lousy teachers (unable to teach their knowledge).
