Kudos to the postgraduate student for getting all that PR coverage. He could be raking in a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per month depending on advertising rates and Britney merchandise sales.
I actually just got the Panasonic TC-P42GT25 mentioned in this article for $700 this weekend and while I was there to pick it up they sold their last in stock, the floor model. If you want one, call your local retailers cuz they're quickly becoming sold out.
doing SEO is not as complicated as you think. read a few books and you can do it yourself

-target main keywords
- have proper titles
- validated html files
- BACKLINKS to your site from valid sites (pr4+). this will help increase your page rank and boost you in google pages. Single handedly this is the most important aspect of SEO.
It's not that you didn't have to hire them, it's that hiring them was a luxury you usually couldn't afford after you'd paid for everything else.
one of the major positive parts of doing web development is that the worlds largest repository of information happens to be skewed directly towards this topic, the web is an amazing resource.

It would also be a good idea to hop on irc for your language / framework of choice, there is also stackoverflow, and it cant hurt to find people in the local web dev community you can bounce ideas off and learn from.

I do believe there are good reasons to go to university / take classes, but I dont think learning general web development is one of them

Oracle Plans to Transfer Hudson IP to Eclipse
This is a very clever move on Oracle's part.

Firstly, by inviting other companies to sit in governance, they did something Kohsuke couldn't do - call in favours from other large companies.

Secondly, they can use this tactic to ward off any fork of Oracle's product. Since if #1 succeeded, it means they are able to repeat this in the future.
A WSJ article stated that the high walls around the compound induced a vortex ring effect.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870456940457629...
In a normal landing the rotor downwash would spread out across the ground but in this case the walls channeled the moving air back up and into the rotor again, causing it to lose lift.
Of course I don't know whether that's true or not, but it seems plausible.

Thanks, that gives me hope. I was thinking about raw coding experience, not years though.
I think stuff like this is great. I was interested in contributing to this project years ago before I really knew how to program very well. I still have never contributed to OSS, or anything like that. I will have a guilty conscience if I don't now.
Because it will spark change. Right now an unknown number of companies track and accumulate an unknown amount of data about everyone online for unknown reasons, and in an effort to stave off government regulation they make noises about how they're self-regulating and we should all just trust them.

There is no world in which Facebook should be able give random app developers your phone number and address, in addition to your real name, just so you can manage a virtual farm. There is absolutely no fucking world in which companies should be able to determine that same information based on your browsing habits without you even knowing.

And it will never, ever, ever, ever be a good idea to let the information mongers decide what is or is not "okay".
Because not complaining is too much like endorsing. Its not OK and I'm not going to help anyone pretend that it is with my silence. Its broken and needs fixing.

"I believe that it is about time that people finally accept that the more technology you have, the less privacy you have. Its that simple."

I do not accept that this has to be the case. If enough people do care, then it will get fixed by simple market pressure. A TomTom is better than a map and I will pay (extra) for one that keeps my secrets.
At JSConf yesterday, Brenden Eich (creator of Javascript) specifically said he thought CoffeeScript's syntax was fantastic. He also stood on stage with the CoffeeScript author while he talked about ways to get errors in CS to return line numbers in CS source, rather than JS.

Facebook considering $3-4Bn buyout of Skype
lal is a curious site. I've known about it since december when my sister told me about it. She used to spend hours on it reading to me funny little flirts that people wrote. The initial users had a great sense of humor and it was really lightweight and fun. Now though, it is so heavy and serious! It seems like half the people who post are depressed by a breakup and are looking for an outlet. Also, since the site is less popular now than it used to be the posts stay up for a while and the content is rather stale.
Yeah, I'm waiting de Icaza's post in his blog about this. http://tirania.org/blog/
My main point is that only those who cannot be bothered to learn the language's finer points (I don't consider these to be amongst them, but as indicated by this blog post, others do) will reap significant benefits from using a tool such as CoffeeScript. Anybody else would be sacrificing too many useful JavaScript-specific tools to justify the benefits of a slightly more expressive language.

Don't you think that the presence of living witnesses to the attack in Pakistan provides the United States with a lot of incentive to get this story basically correct? There seems to be a certain degree of suspicion about the death of every famous person who has ever died, but I have no reasonable doubt that Bin Laden is dead, and I have no reason to believe that he died at any time other than Sunday 1 May 2011 (United States time zones) when President Obama announced he died.

I'm glad to see that someone is finally (attempting) to bring to light the absurdity of our copyright laws. Unlike the Viacom - Youtube infringement and the RIAA cases this case is individual content producer vs Big Co. where Big Co. is the defendant.

I'm really surprised by the way they communicated things yesterday.

Slicehost has been marketed toward hackers and geeks for years, so you'd have to expect that those people are going to demand technical information up front and are going to be pretty bristled about a mail heavy on marketing and nil on details.

It was also totally out of line with the amazing customer service I've otherwise gotten from Rackspace over the last 5 years (with their dedicated product) and Slicehost over the last 2+.

In the end I migrated my apps to Linode last night and at this point all I have to do is flip over DNS and pull the plug on Slicehost. I know I "might" pay less with Rackspace Cloud depending on bandwidth usage but I want the predictable fixed pricing model I've been subscribing to for a couple years. And since that product is no longer an option with Slicehost, to Linode I go, where I get more server for less money than I've been paying as is.
I don't believe it is a "leak" when a company makes a conscious decision to put it in a multi-million dollar marketing campaign.

Agreed, but the universe is under no obligation to express itself in units that are convenient on a human scale. I like to think of this as an anti-anthropomorphic principle.
When I see GNU I think of gsl, gcc, screen, emacs, lilypond, bash, and the core-utils which are all incredible pieces of software that I use every day. The FSF arguably might not always make the best decisions in how they represent themselves but GNU is a "brand" built on awesome free and open source software more than anything else. Additionally, the "extreme ideology" that you mention fits in pretty nicely with the purpose of this software so the name should be somewhat fitting if that's how you feel.
Thanks for your input. I believe my site is built in a fairly SEO friendly manner, with keywords taken into account in copy, titles for pages, etc. I've been reading about SEO for a while and i've done pretty well with a few sites but I'm sure folks who spend their days doing SEO will still be better at it than me.

Back links are the main issue because I don't have many (any) and i'm not sure where to get them for this particular site. Normally I'd build up content myself but this is more of a side project and i'd rather not commit that level of time to it.

As someone who once tried to take advantage of the Seller Protection Policy, let me tell you that even if you follow all the rules, it's still a steep uphill battle.

Any halfway intelligent criminal can easily force you into a position that the policy doesn't cover. For example, shipping you back an empty box and claiming they returned the item.

IMO it depends on the site and whether or not the number of users correlate directly with income. For instance, i've worked on a few microsites for brands that report number of users on the site as a form of social proof.

On the other hand large services that announce their numbers might persuade more companies to enter the space.
Ah, the EFF. Self-proclaimed defender of copyright, yet completely clueless when it comes to contractural rights...

The post refers to a non-disclosure agreement, not a copyright assignment. The whole point of the business model referred to is that patients can't even voice any opinion about the doctor, so it never gets to the stage where "copying" is an issue .
There's also Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness[1] (LTE), caused by the tail rotor entering a vortex ring in much the same way the main rotor is affected in settling with power. LTE will cause a helicopter to yaw sharply in a direction opposite the main rotor's rotation.

The position of the wreck, with the tail broken over a wall, makes me think there might have been a yaw problem. Or they might have been in a high hover, had a problem, and hit the wall on the way down.

Yes, you can invest in bitcoin microcorporations that started their IPO on the Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange.

However, these corporations are not legally declared or chartered by the state. They only exists in the mind of some bitcoiners.

For some reason, Bitcoin unlock the mind of hackers and encourage them to go wild and do crazy things like creating companies that exists only on...cipherspace.

I recommend PHP for what it's worth. Ruby is great but PHP is fast, easy to deploy and common enough that you never need to look far for an answer to your problem or a module to help you out. Rails has gems which are amazing but there are far more PHP programmers.

If you're looking for a framework for PHP I'd recommend CakePHP assuming you're not rolling your own for this.
It all looks pretty easy when you see a TC write-up on them and VC business cards sprawled out on the floor, but some interesting back-story from Evan on how LAL got started (from the Startups Open Sourced interview):

"As soon as I graduated from business school I started a company called ProFounder with two cofounders, Jessica Jackley who had started Kiva before, and Dan Mauriello. While doing that, I met my current cofounders for LikeaLittle, Shubham and Prasanna. They had left Microsoft, came to Stanford, and used to hang out there because they were trying to start a company. A mutual friend introduced us and after a month or two we decided to join forces.

So we started ProFounder. I worked there for about six months and then it moved on to L.A and I didn’t want to go to L.A; I decided I wanted to stay in Silicon Valley and do some consumer Internet things. So, Shubham, Prasanna and I came back to Palo Alto, lived together in a one-bedroom apartment with no furniture, slept on the floor, subsisted off of rice, and tried a bunch of stuff until we caught something that worked.

This was January 2010. For several months we just brainstormed; it wasn’t until October that we actually came up with LikeaLittle. We had probably tried 10 ideas before that and they all failed miserably. So, in October 2010, we created a first edition of LikeaLittle.

We’ve been working together for almost a year, but before YC we had not done any fundraising. We were bootstrapping the entire time; we were living in a one-bedroom apartment our entire time together and then for a two month period, [my cofounders] lost their visas, so we had to go and live in India together. So we lived with my cofounder’s family in India and were doing the startup from there. It was interesting, the power would go out all the time and our users were in America so we had to be on U.S. time; all kinds of crazy stuff was happening.

But, in India there were no expenses. The family would make us food and we’d stay with them; we literally had a zero dollar burn rate in India. So that was pretty fantastic; we kind of had an infinite runway. We’ve basically spent the entire year living off of rice and beans and sleeping on the floor, together."
I'd tend to say yes, the post is a little hypocritical. Especially since the content of the post is almost entirely guessable from the title.

I think you misunderstood canadaduane's point. There's no denying that a lot of popular open source software is not GPL these days.

Chromium, Rails, Ruby, Python, PHP, Riak, jQuery, SproutCore, basically everything from Apache and Mozilla including Firefox and CouchDB, etc.

There are exceptions like MySQL and MongoDB but they are exactly that, exceptions. Some of them are big ones such as Linux distros, I'm not saying there isn't a lot of existing GPL software out there today. I'd like to see license stats from BitBucket, Google Code, and Github.
The Russian Ka-50 Black Shark attack helicopter has an ejection seat for the pilot. According to Wikipedia, the rotor blades and canopy are blown away by explosive charges before the ejection seat is triggered.
Yes.

Given the number of remains, it appears to be trivial. If it wasn't they'd clean them up not just blow them up.

They'd blow it up in a hostile country such as Serbia where the remains of F-117 were transported to China afterward and the present Chinese stealth technology is a result of reverse engineering of those remains. F-117 was 20 years old in 1999 - and if this helicopter was so new and so secret that nobody has seen it before, they'd go pick it up as Pakistan is a "friendly" state.

It's just a standard transport helicopter (like MH-60 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk) modified for special forces to have less of a radar cross-section. For example, they put rotor screws under a plate.

It's not so important for a helicopter to be stealth - if the pilot has NVG, it can fly during the day right over the trees, and few radars can pick it up, unless it accidentally flies over (in the radius of about 8km) of a mobile surface-to-air missile launcher. And they know where these are: JSTARS tells them where the sources of radiation are, and they set their path around those. They also avoided all towns where someone would detect them based on noise and make a phone call, or, god forbid, tweet.

It's a shame that LCD's won out in the market... Totally agree that Plasmas are far superior.

A few issues with plasmas caused them to fail though
1) Early models had "burn-in" issues where an image would stay on the screen too long

2) You can't make them lighter or as thin as LCD's, they require glass panels

3) They require more energy (although the gap has narrowed significantly)

You can barely find a plasma in Best Buy these days.
