Until you pick up Woz I think you've got something to live for.
i've used it, forked it, and now use a custom fork on about 10 client sites. with every new release there seems to be some fairly big bugs, but they're all fixable and overall it's way better than radiant, and i'd rather die than use wordpress again. plus who wants to write php again?
An even better question is why WordPress continues to win.

I've done a few startups and quite often I will create the marketing front end in WordPress/PHP. Even if the main application will be written in Ruby or Python.

The reason is that there are just so many off the shelf templates and themes you can download and/or buy. And the themes are generally in the under $25 price range. Plus finding people who can maintain a marketing site in WordPress is extremely easy. For the simple stuff like "add a post" or "update the text" you don't even need to know PHP.

Now it would be nice if there was a dead simple platform like WordPress for Python. But until that day comes it is still a pretty damn good solution for a site.
IAANAL (I also am not a lawyer) but I don't think you can just "let it die" --> in fact, I think that will get you in a lot of trouble. You either need to keep it alive, or you need to kill it. A corporation is its own entity and you can't just ignore it because it will come back and haunt you. So please...don't just ignore it - kill it properly.
Isn't anonymous less an organized group with leaders and more a bunch of people who hang out and occasionally someone says "hey, it would be cool if we all did <thing>" and whoever is listening joins in?
I haven't looked at wordpress code in a really long time, but 5 or so years ago I had to hack up a wordpress install for a client. There was one giant monolithic method that created a string for the sql query to get the posts for pretty much every imaginable part of a wordpress site that is an index of posts. there was a combinatorial explosion of options you could pass this monolith and it was nearly impossible as someone who didn't write it to figure out how to make it do something really simple like add paging to the RSS url.

There is no reason any code in any language should have this sort of problem. It isn't merely cruft from a long legacy of existence.
Google just doesn't get it - TV is about simplicity. It is not about having a clunky keyboard. Apple probably had the best chance to succeed... There is no chance for Google to succeed when the venerable Apple did not...
It wasn't an attempt to use buzzwords, I think it's probably something more akin to cargo culture then blatant misuse.

However if the naive understanding of objects is that you define a base object, and then extend, or orverride that base object then I think this fits the bill.

The only part of the economy that's "destroyed" is access to some of the bitcoins. All the goods and services that were there before the wallet is destroyed are still there after the wallet is destroyed. The effects of a destroyed wallet are limited to the owner of the wallet and their plans for the money...A good reason to learn how to backup your wallet!!

Yes, but traditional media has a hard time grasping the concept. It's just a lot of directionless guys that latch onto whatever cause seems palatable at the time and requires no more effort than running LOIC/other simple DDOS programs. Basically the definition of script kiddies, there's just a large concentration of them on one message board system.

It's very reasonable for a person to expect that once he paid for the app, he would be able to use it without having a separate subscription paid to a different company.

I'm interested in seeing how these apps clarify this point to users.

couldnt you call that slender?
To try to answer my own question, I believe the asymptotically decreasing inflation in bitcoins is compensated by its increase in value against traditional inflationary currencies.

For example, on the surface it looks like a bad deal to lend someone bitcoins when almost all bitcoins have been generated. You will most likely receive a very low interest rate. Why wouldn't you just convert to some other currency (say USD), lend money out in that currency, and capture a higher interest rate? The answer is that because since bitcoin inflation will be nonexistent by that time, its exchange value against USD would increase by precisely the amount of US inflation.
I think you should give them out editable pretty URLs made from title of the post such as pen.io/this-is-a-test-page instead of sub-domains. This will also help you with the SEO.

Assume that people will want to build lot of pages. Don't let the lack of sub-domains hinder this. Plus, in future you can let them build a blog or something from this set of pages. Advantage you have is you are letting them start-off with minimum resistance.

If this is object oriented then his approach can best be likened to multiple inheritance. Because CSS doesn't offer any kind of native inheritence he's forced to redefine each and every class for each instance. This is the equivalent of defining code like:

var foo = new Animal Brown Quadruped Barking();

Even if styles could be inherited, this seems to be taking the wrong approach. Most of use realise that classes should be used to denote identity, and not behaviour (or in this case, styling). CSS preprocessors seem to fix the same problem in a much nicer way.

Why is it so hard for some people to grasp that Anonymous are just what they claim to be - everyone and yet no one person? There is no roster, no voting, but they are still organized.

Maybe one could call it a mob mentality?

He thought that Anonymous was affiliated ("strongly linked") with Wikileaks, as if there was some secret backdoor agreement between them. Nutcase. There doesn't _need_ to be any agreement or promise between Anonymous and other parties.
In terms of ease-of-install and basic user interface stuff, I remember it as a substantial improvement over most of what people had been exposed to.

Mind you, I hated it passionately from the first time I was asked to do anything more involved than installing it and switching a theme, and I've never had any inclination to use it on my own time, but I think it's easy to forget that the bar was pretty low when WordPress first came on the scene.

Concerned about long-term viability of bitcoins? Maybe your concern should be with learning logic and economics first.
It's hard because corporate leaders have an incredibly difficult time organizing their own companies to achieve comparable feats to what Anonymous can do overnight.

The Army's Best Ranger competition is a Eco-Challenge event. If you want to get in touch with the "essential nature of man" pit yourself against nature herself (like a week hike of the Sierra Ridge), preferably with a buddy, and you'll walk away with a whole new perspective.
I had great luck with the "opposite" of #1. I happened to watch some English language movies subtitled in French and it was a great way to slam a lot of written vocabulary into my head very quickly in an engaging way. That and some other techniques (living with three French girls helps ;>) had me thinking and dreaming in French at the end of a month.

I had a horrible accent, but I could get through basic conversations. A year later I was fluent, with a much better Parisian accent.

After gaining fluency in an additional language, I "disengaged" English as my translation layer and have been able to think in a foreign language much more quickly. At this point when speaking, whatever language I'm using sort of scrolls past the back of my eyes, including English.
Why don't they go to their local Muay Thai/Boxing/etc. club and learn proper technique? And if you want to fight: Get into the ring. It's fun. Even if you get beaten up.

I've been doing Muay Thai for many years now and beside the workout, I got much closer to my cultural Thai roots. Martial arts is more than fighting. It's about personality building, respect and culture.

'Fight Clubs' like this are dangerous for the participants. They don't know how to hit and could get injured seriously. I just hope no trained fighter is ever going to participate in such a fight and gets serious.

It's great that people use arithmetic to argue the opposite point, and it's a very worthwhile discussion. Unfortunately, this discussion, which should be pursued and decided on the hard cold facts, is usually pushed to the sidelines by all the people screaming "our guys have the right arithmetic and you are all a bunch of dangerous idiots".
This is true, but doesn't mean there aren't coordinators, actually skilled hackers who embrace the directionlessness even as they give it direction. It isn't _just_ foot-soldiers.
Directory Traversal / Local File Inclusion on addons.mozilla.org
I can't believe this guy has a job in a security company doing work for the federal government. I'm getting a strong vibe that he's schizophrenic. I've known an unmedicated schizophrenic, and this is the way they talked and acted. Self-aggrandizing, convinced they have comprehended great secrets based on little to no data (schizophrenics often believe that have "other ways of knowing" or extremely heightened intuition), and a belief that once they tell the whole story of the truths that have been revealed to them the world will take notice and be amazed.

The coder in this story is an hero (OK, just a reasonably nice guy, not afraid to tell the moronic "analyst" to go to hell), and obviously prevented a lot of damage by actively working against Barr's insane plans.

I feel the tiniest bit sorry for Leavy and the rootkit guy, as they clearly weren't encouraging this stuff, but really, they knew this guy was a whack-a-mole and they kept him on anyway, I guess because his crazy ego managed to close sales. It's really hard to take pity on someone that knows there's a crazy guy using company resources to go on a personal jihad against random kids on the Internet, and doesn't do anything to stop it.

The level of invasion of privacy this guy was taking part in, against children, is pretty much inexcusable. He's not law-enforcement, and should not be allowed to act as though he has a warrant for rifling through the personal lives of dozens or hundreds of children. All 50 states have laws that cover cyberstalking, cyberharassment, and cyberbullying; in a just world, this nutjob would end up in prison. Whether these kids have done anything wrong or not is irrelevant. Barr is a private citizen, and adult, and he ought to leave law enforcement activities to the police or FBI.

Edit: I should point out that I don't think anyone should be arrested for browsing facebook or twitter or whatever. I was a bit rambling in this comment, and the entirety of my thought processes are not exactly made clear by the text. The stuff that I think is probably illegal is the stuff he was doing outside of his actual research: Dropping hints and threats in mainstream media and in IRC about the data he was gathering, using his fake persona to stir up a shitstorm by leaking that a security company was gathering data on the people he was talking to, etc. I had to google cyberstalking to even know if there were laws about this stuff (and there are, and in all fifty states). While I don't know if those laws are reasonable or not, I'm pretty sure he crossed the line into breaking some of them, particularly in the case of his underage targets.
A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. We have some technology, we have some understanding of how our biosphere works and we have some ability to effect change in our environment. The earth is a big, complicated machine- are you confident that we can predict the long term outcome of our actions when we try to "fix" things?

Possibly, but these if these "relations" are created purely from IRC dicussion, I don't think that happens on quakenet.
Someone proposed 21 million coins, and others, by voluntarily choosing to run the software, agreed to the 21 million coin limit. That's not a central authority...just an agreement between individuals.

In all of your statements you're conflating a protocol, and voluntary social agreement, with a central authority.

Anyone is free to fork the software and change the rules to create their own protocol for people to use! If they like the rules, they join...if they don't like the rules, they don't join. Freedom.
As a simple example, back in the earlier days, Wordpress was mostly a collection of a many, many functions. As it has matured, it's become more class based and slightly less functions. Perhaps more importantly, many of the functions now have quite good phpdocs so you can simply grep the code to figure out what you want to do. Also, as WP has matured, it's added a lot more hooks and actions for various things you might want to do, so it's become less and less necessary to hack core.

It is still relatively brutish code, but damnit if it doesn't work pretty well.

Anyways, small bug for your :video tag. No opening < for the iframe tag, so it just shows up as HTML.
That multiple-inheritance comparison as you showed it is just about perfect, thanks! And yes, preprocessors make a ridiculous amount of sense. That mixins and variables aren't part of CSS seems almost like an oversight.

At least there's Less. Anyone use it, or know of a better system?

Wrongly my FB account memorialized when I am still alive.
Facebook have yesterday put my account (http://www.facebook.com/MikeXeeko)
into special memorial state, which denies me access to my account. I have filled every possible form there is available and I have even tried calling them but the number isnt used now.

I happen to have an another account in facebook, by using which I have created help page and try to contact facebook without any success.

Yesterday Happen to be my 20th birthday (8th feb 1991). and I have last written on my friends wall wishing her happy birthday (http://www.facebook.com/naxima) which is (9th feb).

The last pic I uploaded was a screen shot of my mobile phone. and I have thanked everyone who wished on my birthday. and I have reset my password today after the account got memorialized to see if that enables and I remember the password too.

My account is made under the email id of p.r.i.n.c.e@live.com

which is my email id.

Someone must have misused facebook special memorial form or it is an honest mistake by facebook.

I request them to contact me or give my account back. ASAP.

If they require any futhure comfirmation of me been alive I am willing to provide them including phone number and video chat opportunity to verify that i am still alive.

As someone who practiced Kendo for just a while, the little scene where the guy swings a shinai around pretending to be what he thinks a samurai looks like was cringe-worthy and pathetic. If he ever does take up Kendo/Iaido, he will look back and regret it with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

1st, As someone who never got to experience an ultrasound of their daughter do to being deployed, I think this is really a great app. I can only imagine how happy it will make people to easily send ultrasound scans to one another. Really a great idea here.

2nd, It would be interesting to see if commercialization of this would destroy the need for this service in the health-care industry.
How Can I stay safe on a torrent site?
I don't see the connection between Facebook and writing. There are still forums they can participate in that serve whatever interests they have.

Also, don't you think reading newspapers/magazines/books (either online or on paper) are a better way to improve your langauge (written/verbal/comprehension) than internet forums?
Aaron Barr is not big on typing from the looks of it.
>>It's pretty fair to say that no matter how royally we mess things up, the biosphere will probably eventually "recover"

That's not what I've argued, please read my comment again. On the contrary, my point is that the biosphere is a very unstable system, and there are no guarantees of "recovery" from anything. It can kill itself on a whim, and has come close to doing so in the geological past. In the long run, nature is a chaotic, not a homeostatic system, and "balance with nature" is an oxymoron.
FYI, I meant that the user should be able to test out your app without having to enter in any info, even if it means that saving is disabled.
I asked why, not how :) I understood from the FAQ how it was done, but there's no mention of why it's desirable? Why not either fix the number of bitcoins now for all time, or let them grow unboundedly at a constant rate?
Input really is not that terrible. It’s disingenuous to act as though tablets don’t allow you to enter text.
I've been using the first-gen MacBook Air as my primary machine from around when it was released to about a week ago when its hard drive died. A bit slow at times, but the ease of carrying it compensates for that easily. And I've understood the SSDs on the new ones fix the speed issue.

Depends of course on what kind of tools you expect to use. I'm a web developer working on the PHP stack (even using a PHP-based app server instead of Apache), so I just need a simple Ubuntu desktop with a text editor, terminal and a browser.
"Bitcoins are a creation by some who don't understand what a currency is."

How ironic that someone would say such a thing, and then immediately post a few paragraphs displaying their own misunderstandings of what a currency is.

Do you know what a "hard money" is? Bitcoin is a digital hard money.

You talk so much about backing...backing is nonsense. Gold isn't backed by anything. It's just matter, like everything else. The value of that specific form of matter is in the eye of the beholder. Lookup the Subjective Theory of Value. Then go to http://mises.org
But the "coordinators" drift in and out, too.
Important detail: it's about "voice", not "[Google] Voice", though that's how it looks in the title. To me, at least.

Basically, data plans are netting the cell companies more and more money, while voice plans are netting less and less, with the inevitable crossing-point somewhere in the near future (they're saying 2013, by just following the trendlines).
It's looking like Nokia's about to get shaken up, which might possibly entail a jump to Android or Windows Mobile. Where does that leave MeeGo? Can Intel go it alone as the only major commercial sponsor? Whose devices will run it?
I see a lot of people basically saying this same thing. It seems to me though the real question is how easily can I sell my bitcoin for a dollar?

To me at least that seems more defining as a currency rather than simply say a digital good.

Joining the Darknet: Why I Got Off the Career Treadmill and Joined a Start-Up
I don't really get why the government is involved. If content creators don't want their content to be next to Google's content, then they should release their content as a movie that is only viewable in a tightly-controlled theater.

Of course, there is no money in that... but you can't have it both ways. Wait until I tell the networks that I take a shit during the commercials and read a book instead of watching CNN at the airport. Oh noes, I'm stealing their content and making it "confusingly similar" to taking a shit...
Doesn't "text based" need a hyphen? And the sentence a period?
And it can be quickly sent and received over the internet anonymously, which is something gold cannot do.
Ah, ok. I think they're trying to balance 2 interests:

They don't want inflation. One of the impeti for this initiative is to have a currency that some politicians can't decide to print more of.

But at the same time, they can't just issue 90% of the total money that will exist right at the beginning. No one's going to buy into a currency where the vast majority of the "wealth" goes to a few early adopters.

So it makes sense to have the money supply grow fast at the beginning, when the currency is hopefully getting more popular as well, preventing inflation, and then to gradually slow down the money supply growth to achieve the goal of preventing inflation.

Loose correlation, (probably) not causation. It's obviously anecdotal, but thinking about the tech habits of people I know, it seems plausible to me.
