Yes and no; I would get a job, and usually lots more work would come as a direct result of that. Out of interest, once or twice a month, I'd take a look back on the site to see if there was anything interesting I'd like to work on, and if so, I would.
I wonder what Google's internal estimate of when Chrome will be the most used browser is, and how those forecasts affect their planning. My guess is they'll be the most used browser by this time next year with a roughly three way split between IE, Firefox and Chrome. Some of their moves around Chrome seem naively idealistic or science-fair-esque but with the context of that momentum behind them become potentially gamechanging.
I'm on Comcast, so I can confirm that not even a ping is getting through. And I'm using OpenDNS, so it's not DNS-level blocking. But after the mess Comcast has been in for this stuff before, I kind of can't believe they'd try it again.

I'm in a chat with a Comcast rep now, who claims that if they were blocking the page there would be a branded error message. There's just nothing. Maybe (hopefully!) this isn't what it looks like.

Skype has always had a pretty bleak future on Linux, updates are sometimes years apart, but at least the application keeps on working. Skype is a multi platform product, Microsoft obviously knows this and although Linux will never be a first class platform for Skype, I would be very surprised if it was to be dropped completely.
However bitcoin does pose a threat to the banking elite and their congressional lapdogs. A crackdown is comming soon unfortunately.
iPlayer for non-UK viewers is actually pretty easy to get.

Rent a virtual private server on any of the many UK VPS services. Then use get_iplayer[1] to download TV and radio programmes when you want to.

Although I live in the UK (and pay a TV license), I use this method because it's much more convenient. It doesn't require flash, lets me keep the programme for as long as I want, and downloads are really fast. For example I can grab a 2 hour film from iPlayer into a .flv file in about 15-20 minutes.

Isn't this just a bit of an overreaction? An MS provided feed of one of their press conferences is provided in Silverlight? Of all the indicators for future Linux Skype support, this has to be a pretty poor one...
This won't be popular, but: Linus' attitude is part of why Linux sucks at security.

Go to e.g. osvdb.org, search for 'Linux kernel': 878 results. Search for 'Solaris', which includes many non-kernel vulnerabilities: 595 results; search for 'freebsd': 171, including e.g. ftpd issues; search for 'OpenBSD': 93, again including stuff like an XSS in OpenBGPD's bgplg (very much not part of the kernel!) This is not merely historical; Full-Disclosure readers get a "vulnerabilities in Linux kernel: 20 issues fixed" every month or so.

Yes, Linux has some really nifty stuff, lots of people are looking at it, and things like GrSecurity can be useful. But it also has a lot of (local) kernel-level vulnerabilities compared to similar pieces of software.

Legally yes you are right. Philosophically or morally I believe that copyright is based on a premise that is no longer the case.

I recently saw the Product Manager from Spotify give a presentation.

In it he said that spotify users are much more likely to listen to of the charts music when they use spotify. I think he said something like 60 or 80% of the music listened too wasn't chart music.

I seem to remember similar findings with netflix.

In other words when people have to pay for a CD or a DVD they will make the safe choice. But the second there are other options their patterns are different.

In my world at least. There is absolutely nothing philosophically or morally that dictates that it's a right to get paid for something that you can produce once and then mass distribute more or less freely.

It's an opportunity.

The movie industry has no problem replacing jobs previously held by people with machines. They have no problem arguing that people who used to do models with physical materials are just not effective enough. The movie and music industry have no problem distributing their content digitally, laying off thousands of people, closing thousands of stores. All in the name of the progress of technology.

And to be clear I have no problem with that either.

But I just so happen to believe that the same should apply for the record labels and the movie industry.

Just hanging on to old definitions of ownership while ridding themselves of others who aren't following the progress of technology is simply not grounded in anything but lobbyism.

So as long as those industries are not ready to re-considers rights issues while insisting that they should reap the benefits I simply refuse to accept that piracy is in fact piracy in the way it's claimed. I refuse to accept the philosophical premise that is used to define theft, illegal & copyright.

When the underlying reality changes so must the law and regulation. It's there to reflect reality, not the other way round.
Without a doubt - look at a band like Tool. I don't mind saying that I torrented every one of their albums. Grew to love them, bought the CDs, went to a dozen of their concerts, spent at least £50 on merchandise over the years.

Agreed. His broader point about not "glorifying" security researchers is valid, but he goes way too far when he says security bugs aren't more important.

There is no point in telling him he's wrong, either. He'll just call you a "masturbating monkey".

Any proxy will work, you don't have to go to the trouble of setting up TOR. It's just massive overkill to access a single site, especially when you don't care about anonymity.
thepiratebay.org doesn't respond to pings from any network as far as I can tell, which is a typical firewall configuration.

Judging by the comments on the article it's not Comcast blocking, but some kind of network configuration issue, as multiple ISPs are impacted (though they could in theory be using Comcast as a carrier).
From the Daily Beast article:

First, because it believes Google is doing some things in social networking that raise privacy concerns; second, and perhaps more important, because Facebook resents Google’s attempts to use Facebook data in its own social-networking service.

So, just to get this straight: Facebook resents that Google use's "Facebook data" in Social Circles, when I as the user have to explicitly allow Google to import my Facebook connections? Shouldn't the user get a say in how their data is used and who uses it?
When any cross-platform product is purchased by an "operating systems" company there's always going to be some element of cross-platform questioning. After all it's not Microsoft's job to further the Linux, iOs, OSX, Android, WebOS et al platforms.

That said, MS spent $8.5B on the deal, so it seems to be something they're likely to take seriously. I guess a Windows-Phone-7 version will get a lot of love, and expect to see new versions ship on Windows before other platforms. But that's a long way from removing Skype from existing platforms. MS has a history of programs on other platforms, not least MS Office on the Mac. If there's a business case for it, it should fly ok.

It's a long way though from selecting a live-stream platform for the website, to the cross-platform strategy overall. By implication, since Silverlight pretty much only runs on Windows, you could argue that this isn't a snub of Linux, it's a snub of _all_ non-Windows platforms.

I just can't see MS deprecating support for Skype on all mobile devices, and all other non-Windows devices anytime soon. I would imagine that makes up a significant chunk of the Skype userbase, and it doesn't make sense not to leverage them. I wouldn't spend this sort of money to reach Windows-only users.

Of course MS the company has no shortage of haters in the non-MS OS community, so expect to see much wailing and gnashing of teeth from them. Every little action MS makes, no matter what, will be met with loud cries of anguish, and predictions of doom.

Perhaps though it's sanest to consider what is actually happening, rather than what "definitely will happen any day now" from pundits with an axe to grind.
That's an interesting model - pay the full price for a TV license and only use the web services. There would be technical difficulties, of course (guaranteeing a decent connection to the BBC servers, possibly adding international data centres) but it certainly provokes thought.

On the other hand, how exactly will the government justify collecting tax from non-citizens (even worse, non-residents!)?

You do get a say - you got a say that Facebook could have your data. At least in the US, that makes it their data - we have no eTRUST or other Privacy law/data ownership laws in place to say otherwise.
Who cares? Facebook is a generic company. Google is a generic company. If they spy on each, smash each other, etc, it changes nothing. Neither for you nor for your startup or anything.

Personifying these companies and then writing gossip stories about them is turning what should be real business into some kind of pseudo-fashion magazine.

Just as little as I care for Snookie kissing JWoww, do I care about Facebook spying on google. The impact of this is minimally negligible in the world of real business, and something like this is just pointless gossip.
To be fair anonymous let it be known they were attacking Sony. So when an attack is successful, who is your first suspect? Given that anonymous is just a random bunch of people on the internet it could have been another group that used info gained by anon or just used them as cover.

This doesn't seem like it would be a very popular point of view with the people giving data to Facebook (or whom want to share it with Google or other companies).
Well, monkey patching is even worse.

That's why in my initial comment I talked about style.

If you haven't worked with a given style, you're prone to harsh judgments and mentalities such as this one. Redefining classes/methods/interfaces at runtime works great for a lot of people ;)

Why is this even needed?

In case you're working in Java, you may not realize it, but the libraries you're using are probably doing it.

The real difference is in these cases, say for example aspect-oriented programming or dependency injection or all the other buzzwords you had to learn for Java in the last 10 years -- which require big-ass, bloated, incomplete and extremely buggy libraries -- in Ruby/Python are as natural as "Hello World!".

To put it simpler - dynamic languages allow you to treat code as data and to mutate it in however ways you like.

Catching bugs at compile-times is not just about syntax-related errors or checking if some object responds to some method call. If you really want to catch errors at compile-time, you have to dig a whole lot deeper than that, which more evolved static languages are kind of doing (mostly by forcing you to model your data-structures in a certain way, such that the language can understand its purpose and mathematically prove stuff).

But then again, Java is not a representative of static-languages, mostly because Java is a fucked-up hybrid, having all the disadvantages of static-types with none of the advantages.

When talking about static types, you really should be talking about what Haskell can do. And even Haskell has limits that dynamic languages don't, that's why it comes with its own macro-language to alleviate that.

People are stupid. Well, at least most of them act it. And not just the "lowest common denominator" either: I've know otherwise well educated people not be cynical enough to understand why it might be a bad idea.

Half the time they just follow instructions without thinking ("enter your email and password here...") and sometimes they are easily swayed into following them "for convenience".

The only cure for many people is for them to get ripped off or otherwise inconvenienced as a result of such an action at least once. But there are still some who would never learn.

Meh; right or wrong it is looking increasingly like sharing of content for free is inevitable. More interesting are the consequences of this change.

1. The resources that were spent on these products will be invested alternatively.

2. With a lower margin for performance, continued (live) performance becomes the only way to make a living.

3. Production-on-demand as opposed to production, followed by marketing for demand will produce more producer-motivated that audience-motivated content.

4. MTV cribs will have a lot less bling.

5. Based on my middling wage in the financial services sector, I could totally get a Kylie.
A key saying I provide all my clients with in regards to corporate culture and behaviours: a fish rots from the head.

Usually this means things like 'if the boss is ten minutes late to every meeting, staff will assume it's acceptable for everyone to be ten minutes late to a meeting'.

Given Zuckerbeg's reputation for sneaky behaviour and this example of his PR team, I now have an excellent example to share in the future: 'If the boss uses sneaky, underhanded and/or arrogant methods to launch 'his' business, staff will assume it's acceptable for them to use sneaky underhanded and/or arrogant methods to promote it'.
What do bosses do all day? The shocking truth...

Tumblr is a micro-blogging platform that allows users to easily publish snippets of information to the web, such as a photo or photo set, a video, a quote or just a paragraph. It is often used as an online diary because of to its ease of use compared to other blogging platforms such as WordPress.
Your example is misleading, because the same can be said about the game where you roll a dice over and over again, and you win if you get a 6.

The probability that the game ends is 1, but it is not guaranteed to end. Yet no reasonable person will worry about this in practice.

Your example with 100 times 6 in a row is conceptually exactly the same, just the expected time until the game terminates is much, much larger.
I think that's just the early-access for Enyo. I signed up for the current SDK and I had everything in about 5 minutes.
Absolutely true. But it still is an easy, 1 step, free fix for those not familiar with using a proxy. Thanks. And anonymity as a bonus is certainly not a downside. Besides, why bother using it for just one site? I'll be using it now (with noscript and a few extras) to access any and all torrent-related sites. Might as well nip it in the bud now rather than later.

Now we just have to be concerned about tracker-blocking, if they were to choose to do so. As of now it's not an issue of any real concern, as most piratebay-related trackers have been unreachable anyway.
Because it is an artificial problem (created by rent seekers) not a technical problem.

Artificial problems are murderously difficult to crack and often disappears when the underlying technology shifts.
I have had quite a bit of success using these services.

Here are a few of my tips:

1. As jasonkester said, wait at least a week before you start looking at proposals and making your decision. You get a lot of crap in the first few days, and you want to give the "good" people enough time to find and read it.

2. Be really clear and specific with your RFP. Go in into as much detail as possible, and look for responses that indicate that they have read it. Also, make sure you use a descriptive headline. You're competing with quite a few people, so you want your project to stand out.

3. Ask a few specific questions in your description. This is not only a great way to start to grasp their domain knowledge, but you also can filter out people who haven't read it (similar to #2).

4. When you have narrowed down your selection to 3 or 4, send them an even more detailed description of your project and arrange a Skype call. It's easy to be deceptive via email, but if you have someone on the phone you can quickly gauge how competent they are on the fly. Treat it like a real phone interview for a job you've had in the past, except you are the interviewer.

Good luck!
Just because more linux security bugs are found dosn't mean that linux has more security bugs.
I think there are far more linux boxen connected to the internet than solaris and *BSD, so the incentive to search for vulnerabilities should also be greater.
Oh I agree.

Why should the music and movie industry be the only industries being allowed to keep the middle men when the value they provide is almost nill.

The reality is that the bands coming out today have no problem being both good with marketing, technology and doing music.

There is nothing that says that it's a right of a musician to record an album for almost nothing, reproduce and distribute it litterally for free. And make hundreds of millions reselling it. It's not a right it's a privilege.
It is comcast/xfinity blocking. Speakeasy is unaffected. I can access the site from speakeasy, no problem. One of the perks of having 2 ISPs. Try checking it through any open wi-fi connections available to you. Many are probably able to access the site.
I've learned that it never hurts to just "put your self out there."

I sit more on the design side of things, but in my experience people tend to be more interested in what I've done/built/created than simply where I have worked or went to school.
Goodwill and brand have value, and public opinion affects laws that get written. The very fact that Facebook was doing this means perception matters. It's not like FB and Google are making money from artificial drama, so I think your analogy is specious.
