There is another reason people expect stuff to be free and it's because business people in general don't know of any other way of framing things. The last 50 years has been all about advertising and so the business culture knows how to tie ads with content but they don't know how to create great content and convince users to pay for it.
Right ... but I thought he said there were methods with > 600 lines of code, and files with multiple classes/interfaces all over the place. That's why I took issue with it. But yeah, the Pie class has all the core functions.
We have that as well (in the Netherlands). Most of the time, though, our "student societies" are mixed. I can definitely recommend you to join one: just have fun and you'll learn as you go. Don't worry too much about the skills you have, just show up and you'll learn.
Looks very nice indeed. The only thing I would suggest is to add a star-rating system, so that you can see the distribution of opinion. Currently you can only vote for "Good", there is no "despite what others say, this really sucks" function.
I had the same urge. I had been an introverted hacker all through high school, and when I went to college wanted a change. So I joined a fraternity.

It didn't work out. The frat guys were cool, but they did stuff you would expect frat guys to do. And after a few weeks of it, I got really really bored. The parties were somewhat fun but only for the drinking. Not a lot of interesting conversation to be had.

After a month, I bailed and switched over to the dorms. Can tell you I was much happier there, hanging with people who I had something in common with.
No, it doesn't. I read the Wikipedia's overly academic description and I still don't get it. (And I've never heard of corporations either.)

Agreed. However (analogy) if you want to get to know someone you go on a date, not get married.
Great work by the author in telling the side of Mark that we have rarely heard or read before. His refusal to sell facebook for billion dollars to yahoo was something I can't think many founders have done or can do.

Also it must have taken a hell lot of time to research for this article.
A lawyer could tell you what steps to take to protect yourself. Probably all that's required is to extensively document the hell out of everything.

There is one branch one the repo: master. There are no feature branches whatsoever. What kind of workflow for mainline development is that?

There are also no commits referencing iOS at all, despite Laurent saying that Apple have been working on an iOS port. Assuming Apple is working iOS compatibility, one might assume that they are targeting a future major iOS release, e.g. iOS 5.0. That is something that Apple categorically would not do in public for obvious reasons.

Laurent's commits are too few and far between lately for someone purported to be on MacRuby full time, to me they just look like cherry pick commits that fix serious bugs.

Like I've said before I am not saying what Apple is or isn't doing. You may be right, but what you have said is hardly compelling evidence. Apple is hardly going to carry out development in public on something that inadvertently reveals features or implementation details of of their golden geese products, i.e. iOS devices.

Stop here, test assumptions before proceeding.
I'm glad my roommates switched to splitmybill.ie last month when it seemed billmonk was really beginning to die. I still prefer the billmonk interface, but splitmybill works.

The ability to get export history from billmonk would be great though.
seems to have issues when you are at the bottom of the doc and press enter and continue typing i.e it is not "auto" scrolling to the bottom of the text area so you can't see what you are typing. (ffox 3.5.12 on os x 10.5.8)

Hey,

I am also in India. I am interested to know more about your story.
And get rid of the dollar bill, too.

Back in the 70s you could buy a meal with the spare change in your pocket, and you could buy a Coke by dropping a coin in a machine. Now you've got to jam a bunch of dollar bills into a flaky bill reader. It's ridiculous, and it only gets more ridiculous with each passing day as inflation takes its toll on the value of a dollar.
Scientific papers about politically controversial topics that involve billions of dollars of money flowing around in firms that can potentially hire the author later, need to be taken with a grain of salt. A large grain of salt. Sad but true. You can't trust science papers about politically controversial, money-impregnated topics the way you can almost sorta sometimes trust science papers about completely noncontroversial topics.

I have no particular reason to distrust the author or the paper. Only general reasons to distrust the topic.
Can anyone suggest decent password manager that would have the advantages of being cloud based without the risk of someone stealing my passwords?
Are you sure? I buy my books without ads.
What is the offending module or piece of software on, for example, Android that does this? If it's an Exchange specific thing and works on many phones, why does it come preinstalled with root access and can I just disable or enable Exchange support to be sure nobody ever nukes my phone?
Does this method rely on security holes, like the iPhone jailbreaks, or is it something explicitly allowed by handset makers (and operators)?
I guess the economist's definition of a market is more useful for this analysis than the legal one.
Wow, my comment must have hit a nerve. I wonder if the people downvoting me have ever experienced being in a good relationship. I don't mean meaningless sex, although that is great too, I mean an emotionally involved relationship.

All I'm saying is that, although Newton accomplished great things, he would have felt more fulfilled and happier if he had also experienced a romantic relationship at some point.

Now, obviously there exist some people that are asexual and have no innate desire for sex, and there's nothing wrong with that.

However, I don't believe there is any healthy person in the world, no matter how introverted, who does not at some point desire a deep, meaningful relationship with another human being.
That's true, but a "rock star" engineer at Google Mountain View earns a base of ~ $150k-$200k. Add on a bonus/stock of $75k-$100k, yeah, upper bounds is $300k. Glassdoor also backs up what I've heard.
Agreed. And jamming 50 dimes into a washing machine is equally ridiculous.

In the UK we have a 2GBP coin, which is roughly $5. Imagine how useful it'd be to have $1 $2 and $5 coins for vending machines etc.
Thank god for the cache.

If you grep through your cache files for "layout.addDataset", that line of code is what draws the pie chart of what you're owed on your dash.

That page is likely to have your biggest debts and loans. Good Luck.
thank you for your kind words. Prgmr.com is, right now, somewhere between ramen profitable and opportunity cost profitable. My net worth, if my understanding of standard industry prices, is going up significantly faster than if I were to work a regular job, spend what I'm spending, and save the rest, but I'm still living on 1/4th to 1/3rd what I'd make as a SysAdmin elsewhere, so I feel like I'm on the right path, but I haven't arrived yet.
I guess, if we had good batteries, we could make a simple electric car. (Though if you optimize for an objective, like simplicity, other goals, like mileage or comfort, probably suffer.)
It's obviously tough to make sweeping generalizations about people, but if you study psychology you will learn that all humans(and indeed other animals) share certain innate drives that are part of our genetic makeup. The need for sex,reproduction,etc is one of these innate drives.
I often wonder why this hasn't already happened on a massive scale.

I figure a bunch of Russian and Chinese hackers are skimming off cents at a time or something because they don't want to kill their golden goose by being too overt.
In German Jeep is the generic word for a (off-road) SUV.

after someone hacked my paypal acc i have simple algorithm that i can calculate in my head for my passwords.
Wow, your experience reads almost exactly like mine. I wasn't an introvert just choosey about friends. I also did Formula SAE, Solar car racing, started a magazine with design students, started a culture-based student org. and DJed at WUVT (90.7) and house parties.

Good fraternities really play down the social networking aspect of themselves. If you even bring up parties and networking during rush they usually see it as a turn off. This comes from friends that wanted me to join, but since I already had a full calendar wouldn't have time for one more thing.
Luckily the wasps are not the wasps most people think of, from the article: "The tiny wasps are only two millimeters long."
Marissa Meyer has a funny story on this:

I remember at the time thinking that chaos would ensue, but can now barely remember all that 'copper' - in fact, they should ditch the 5c and 10c pieces as well. As it is, I only really use $2 and down for the office beer tin.

Was in the US last month and the only time I saw a $1 coin was when we used a machine to change a dollar bill into a $1 coin to use in an adjacent ticket machine!
I think that Firefox, or any good browser with a sync feature, can be a good password manager.
I was in your shoes once. Now I'm widely considered as one of most socially apt/spontaneous people in any group.

By all means - be bold. Heed my advice that fear is good while phobias are bad. You should embrace fear - since fear is what will motivate you to prepare for your encounters. While systematically working against your phobias. The only way to demolish your "phobias" is by acting against your fight/flight impulses.

Do not be affraid of making a fool of yourself. Because You WILL make a fool of yourself. Embrace it. Tell people about it. Remember you should always put your shortcomings/weak spots in public view (hide in plain sight). Thus people who will try to "damage" you will try to find your hidden spots - where you are actually the "hardest".

One thing that has worked for me (YMMV) is not to "follow" people. ESPECIALLY popular people - find "weak" people and start helping them on feeling better about themselves, help them out socially (the mere fact that you posted here is a sign that you are not so inept as you think of yourself). Thus you will create your own following - eventually converting the "popular" people into your own followers.

And listen to "Wear Sunscreen" - it contains all the secrets of the trade. That is all there is to it.
That doesn't mean that we should automatically ignore everything else he says.
The fun part is that password complexity makes this problem worse, not better.

People use the same user/pass combo for every site they visit, except when one of them forces them to use a complicated password that they can't remember. So they send themselves an email with the site name, username and password so that they can find it next time they need to log into their bank.

So once your registry cleaning website has their email password, you also have a nice list of all their strong passwords too.

Adding to the irony, most people know that they need a different password for their bank, so if you just let them pick one without forcing complexity, they'll choose something they can remember, and their bank account will be safe.
Alternatively, you could conclude that the difference is in the apps. 75%+ of free apps in the App Store are junk. Paid apps tend to be much higher quality offerings in my experience.
As more models are launched and new versions of the OS are published, there will be more fragmentation. This is expected and the odds are that it will happen to Apple too.

Take a look at Symbian, where not only do you have different resolutions, but touch and non-touch phones and a myriad of OS update versions. Luckily, you have access to a virtual device hub where you can do online testing.
Principles, not principals. Unless you really mean headmasters not the fundamental rules or beliefs:)
A friend an I have considered a number of times setting up something like http://ismypasswordsecure.com and just collecting passwords that way.

This is of course pure evil and we never figured a way in which it had a return apart from publishing lists of common passwords.
Myths About Sexually Transmitted Diseases
My point is that you can't explain a statistic with one cause. Most of the time there are many. Some of them we know, some of them not.
Flip to the last few pages of any technical book. I know for a fact that O'Reilly books put a plug for other related O'Reilly books in the last few pages and I'm certain most other books to the same thing and some even have them up front. Technical books I think qualify as good content.

Vtiger Installation On CentOS 5.x
I don't think that's the case. Atleast not in the US. Traditionally you were asked to take 2 tests to get into university, SAT or ACT. Around the turn of the century some of the schools dropped that requirement. What changed? The realization that 12 years of school couldn't be summed up in one saturday afternoon test. Good students were being overlooked for good test takers.

The article is saying that summative tests are their not to help the student but to help the university. It really should be the other way around.
Why not?

Startups are cool.

I believe to build a startup need a special kind of attitude. This could be reflected on the team activities, way of work, office feel and look and of course... the name.

My opinion. Go for it. If that's your favorite option, go for it.. all the way.

My best hopes from South America ;)

I've experienced this first hand, and it's extremely frustrating. For some reason, my Android app apparently refuses to start on the Droid X, despite it working fine on my Nexus One, as well as the emulator with the correct screen size and the correct version of Android OS (or at least the base version of the OS, before carrier customization). I can't justify buying more than one Android phone.

The Apple store's approval process is infuriatingly slow, but I've never had any device model compatibility issues. I'll take slow approvals any day.
2GBP is 3.09USD currently.
I'm a techie who doesn't use AdBlock. And I've actually noticed something very different. I rarely look at ads on most sites, but on Tech-oriented sites, the ads tend to be much better. This is because they're more focused on my niche.

For example, I've clicked on dozens of ads on Stack Overflow, and even subscribed to a few things that way. I honestly think turning on AdBlock is depriving me of valuable information, on those sites at least.
I use KeyPassX on Dropbox. It works, kind of.
I have a Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint (I really wanted a physical keyboard). I like the hardware, and Android 2.1 seems pretty decent, but Sprint included a bunch of uninstallable crapware that clutters the Applications list, and the battery life is below 24 hours with the phone mostly idling and wifi and 4G off (I played Pandora for .5 hours on 3G/4G as I was driving). I hope it gets fully cracked so I can put a more battery-saving firmware on it.

Yeah, being Polish too I never get these artificial forms of socializing which I always see in American movies. I even don't get these 'drinking games' - can't you just drink the booze and talk/party without all those strange add-ons - games, contests, tests?

I don't know a lot of Americans but I always thought it's a nationality easy to socialize with, and most of which I met IRL confirmed this POV. Existence of such organized social groups always make me wonder - why do you need them?
You are the sum of the choices you make. You can't say "oh, well I'll just screw over friends, coworkers, etc. to get rich but once I am I'll be nice." All the habits you form getting to the top will stick with you once you're there. And there is always more to want.

Of course one learns from past mistakes but the question is what you learn. From all his actions, it seems to me that what Mark learned was to not be so obvious with his actions. Now he claims to want to make the world a more open and honest place. Why would making all this information about yourself public make the world a better place? We've spent thousands of years developing social protocols for how and what we reveal to others about ourselves, our families and our friends. Now we should just forgo all that because some guy thinks that would somehow make the world a better place? Does he really even believe that? Whether he does or does not, it sure would make things more convenient for him if people would just voluntarily give out more information about themselves so he can sell it.
Exactly. Everyone defending this feature seems to miss that point entirely. If I set up my work email on my iPhone and was offered the following options:

POP3
IMAP
Exchange

What would I choose? With those options, one has more "features" and push email, but also allows my company to wipe my phone without asking me. This is not communicated to me through the UI.

I think it would significantly affect my decision over which to use if that information was presented to me.
You are a lady I presume?

Actually I find ball busting a form of art. I know a couple of people that are so good at it that they actually sense your comfort level - and maneuver right below the treshold.

This is the kind of people you call when your bored - take them out and beg them to mock you!

Actually I find ball busting a human form of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNvQ2AC23cg . It's what young males do to learn about social cause/effect. I find it less damaging to one's personality to what young girls do to each other.

This reminds me of the good old days of searching Limewire for "password .txt .rtf .doc". It's incredible what folders and documents people would foolishly share.

But the most important thing I learned is this: email account passwords are worth their weight in gold! As soon as you have an email address and password, you have access to a searchable list of logins and password confirmations.

This is even more worrying than the example the comic utilises. You still have to (manually or automatically) go to these sites and guess the username (is it bob101 or is it 101bob this time?) and try the various passwords. As soon as you're into an email account you have quite the dangerous list. All of which are confirmed and ready to go.

I completely agree with you that relationships can be fulfilling.

I completely disagree with you that we should be so presumptuous as to let our experiences with modern day relationships say how one of the most influential people in the entire history of mankind should have lived his life in the 1600s while completely discounting societal factors such as the role of the Church in that time period and how vastly different courtship was from what we know now.
