Google isn't going to send staff out to your school to create/manage the accounts etc. Someone will still need to do that.

* I thought I had heard of filtering options for enterprise/education customers but I can't find the article saying so. Acting on the assumption that it would be filterable, are there any other objections*
For filtering to be of any use, you also need to be able to log who tried to access what - because a lot of the filtering process is checking access logs for undesired sites.

So lets say you can use an authenticated proxy to log that - you then need to have an authentication system for the proxy server. So now you have a list of students, staff, etc in your local LDAP (i.e. AD/eDirectory/etc) and a mirrored list in Google Apps so they can use that. But then you have to explain to the users that the passwords aren't in sync, and that if they want to change their proxy password you have to provide some kind of web interface for them, because they aren't authenticating the device via Directory Services, which provides a password-change/password expired/etc mechanism for desktop OS'.

* But how is new it staff !== external provider*

If you hire IT staff and then tell them they are there to "support" Google Apps/Gmail, if they are any good they will politely tell you to stick your job. If they want to stay, you don't really want them.
Awesome, I never realized you made historious.
The agreement should be rolled into the one you agree to when you use the app.

If it's not, I guess you can go after the app developer's for damages.
Apparently PC Pro has a little trouble with the term "selection bias."
Apple likely can sue Lodsys for declaratory relief if Lodsys persists in its claims against developers. This would be an action by Apple against Lodsys seeking a court judgment that its license covers the challenged activities and a related declaration that no infringement exists by reason of such activities. Developers clearly benefit from any such action by Apple but this is a little different from committing to hold the developers themselves harmless from any legal action. A "hold harmless" would mean that Apple commits to defend any developer who is sued and, further, agrees to pay any damages suffered should that developer be found to infringe. Since Apple has not yet committed to do this (indeed, I believe its contract terms say that it will not do this), in theory, the developers might still be sued and have to defend their individual cases even if Apple does bring a declaratory relief lawsuit against Lodsys. Of course, a court in any such action might act to consolidate the various lawsuits and stay those brought against the developers pending resolution of Apple's primary suit. My point is not that developers are not helped by Apple's stance, as they plainly are. It is only to state that Apple has not yet committed to cover them against all harm here, regardless of what Lodsys might do. Apple might choose to take this further step as events develop but the letter as worded is more guarded than that. I think Apple is waiting to see if the in terrorem effect of its letter will solve this before considering further options.

I poked around and found a W500 thinkpad on the lenovo outlet site earlier this year. Too used to 16:10, 1920x1200 and do not to lug around a 17" laptop.

"IIRC, the primary reason that group selection is thought to be wrong is that it (apparently) can't yield an Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS) -- it will always be better for the persistence of any individual's DNA if that individual refuses to be altruistic."

This sounds reasonable if you consider only one generation, or only the individual. But if you consider the whole group or species in the long run, the effect you see is exactly what you describe, i.e. groups that encourage this kind of behavior will outcompete groups that don't. So for a species to survive, it is much more important that the group survives than just an individual. If the individual survives, but it can't reproduce, then the species won't survive in the long term.

I think the important thing is to determine what behavior better represents reality, meaning what would explain the survival of current species on earth, not just try to confirm survival of the fittest for an individual.

It's commodity hardware. All the profit is in the add-ons, so to make money selling matte screens you'd probably be charging twice as much as Best Buy et al.

At twice the price, even the matte-lovers are going to choose glossy.

People who love matte tend to be the bargain shopping type already, only buying stuff on sale. The retail giants don't want those customers anyway, they want the people who get dazzled by the high contrast and will buy anything you tell them to.
I work in South Korea as a software developer for an RnD startup. The legal requirement for paid holidays in (most) contracts is 10 paid days plus public holidays. Public holidays are not really considered holidays by many as there is a very strong compulsion to spend it with your extended family instead of "going anywhere". They don't carry over unused days from what I can grasp from the laws (in Korean).

That said, people are discouraged from taking holidays in many companies, especially large Chaebol-style companies. I know a few people who work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day with two holidays a year and one of them must be a Sunday. Competition, for everything, is far more intense here than it was in Australia or the US.
Perhaps "Software Sculptor" or "Crafter". I find "artist" a little broad.

The end idea may well be an emotive expression, but there's a lot of disciplined craft that must go in to creating the piece.

Similarly, an architect may design an evocative history museum for example, but it's an engineer that must get the thing built.
Improve your skills, build a portfolio, and switch into contracting as soon as you can. You make a lot more if you're good, can make your own schedule (including long vacations if desired, or working vacations), and the somewhat higher risk and uncertainty are easy to manage when you're young and without dependents.

You also get more diverse experience and contacts that increase your desirability if you want to return to 9-5 land AND if you're adventurous, you can go live in a developing nation with a low cost of living, which has the same effect as a big income boost, plus you get to spend your time somewhere that isn't yuppie land (and presumably has nice weather).

This is unfortunate. I understand the stupidity that is copyright policy that makes it necessary but there was so much good that could have come from having newspapers from at least the larger metropolitan areas searchable and online.

One of the more interesting things was to match prices in the advertisements against the published 'inflation rate'. Since the US Gov't leaves out food and energy prices, and manufacturers have been waging a war of 'smaller quantities in the same sized package for the same price' inflation, it was possible to construct a 'typical' basket of goods from stores and compute its change in value over time.

Great for economists, not so good for policy makers.
The left operand is an int, so the result of the shift expression is an int. The fact that the shift expression is used to initialize a long is not relevant.
Interesting article, but the worst title ever. Erlang is a functional, concurrent programming language. It reduces all non-trivial programs to actor-model concurrency, with an implementation that does green threads multiplexed over native threads. If you ignore this fact, your programs will either be very slow or very wrong.

What we might sell it as is an interesting and fair question, but to say it is not a thing which it clearly is, that's wrong.

If you gave me an extra $500-1000 a month and significant extra life expectancy I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

The freedom of being able to go wherever you want in a heartbeat in a car is highly overrated. Call a taxi for those times when it's actually urgent.
Anyone who manipulates tabs with anything other than a middle-click is missing out on a wealth of delicious UI consistency. A middle-click on a tab closes it, and you can aim for any part of the tab (Fitts' Law approved).

Arguing about how efficient you can be /after/ you've targeted a microscopic UI element with your mouse cursor seems odd.
good to see the new users raising the level of discourse here.
>Well no, because selection operates at the level of the individual, not the species. A "defector" mutant squirrel without the instinct to cry out when it sees a predator would have an advantage over the regular squirrel.

Evolution is a statistical macro process aggregating individual selection events. Thus the "defector" mutant squirrel have higher chances to survive, yet the (sub)species consisting of only such "defector" squirrels will lose to the (sub)species where statistically significant share of specimen demonstrate altruistic behavior.

People discussing evolution usually make 2 major mistakes :

- assigning explicit "species evolution/survival" level motivation to specific action of specific specimen

- directly extrapolating individual specimen events to the level of species, not paying attention to emergent higher-order system behavior

>Some folks have done those complicated statistical calculations,

such calculations is like law logic - can be bent both ways.
Have any idea about chaotic dynamical systems and the effect even small perturbation can cause?

about "dishonest minority" - their individual situation is better, yet the species consisting entirely of the "dishonest minority" type specimen would obviously lose.
If you went back in time to that era with an apple from 2011, it would still have bacteria and fungi on its surface and inside. The rotting might be slowed by a possible higher intensity of ultraviolet light from the Sun, which would kill any microbes on the surface.
I'm not so sure they have. Their 'Block all results from domain' feature doesn't register middle clicks. I'd imagine if they had been recording when people open new tabs, they also would show the Block all results link when you middle click.

It's actually quite annoying that middle click doesn't bring up the link.
The output may seem rational, but was the process of synthesizing it 100% rational? Can you write a program that creates the Mona Lisa while explaining each decision along the way?
I hope you weren't taking my statement to be that our situation couldn't be better. It certainly could. All I'm saying is once an hour is perfectly adequate to ditch a car-centric lifestyle.

> Indeed. Even more annoying is that adding high-res, anti-glare makes it a custom order for the 15". Apple Stores only stock the overkill $2599 15" version with the high-res matte screen.

Not true. Apple's retail stores often stock the high-end (high-res matte with the top-end i7) 15" model, so they can upsell. Not all stores will have it, and there's no guarantee (they typically only stock just a few at a time), but it's not online BTO only.

They do always win. Consider France, India, South Africa, and Egypt. All of the examples you gave are of authoritarian states being replaced by authoritarian states. France, Egypt, India and likely South Africa would all be just as likely to trod on an individual who was opposing their security apparatus, especially when said security apparatus is taking orders from the visiting G8.

As far as you feeling guilty about being "selfish", that is your issue. You need to get over the idea that the world owes you something, and likewise that you owe the world something (apart from perhaps fair play and non-aggression - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle )

I'm not sure if this is historically accurate. See:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070117/191446.shtml

A lot of people believe Apple used its patents, for example, to block Android from getting certain features. There's also speculation that MS spent a lot of time dealing with legal issues before WP7 -- which is why WP7 has different design decisions in so many places Apple has patents -- and one reason it was so late after WM6.1.

It's speculation, but it sounds like Apple may have used its patents as a way to stop competition on other carriers. Is that good or bad? I don't know, but it's legal.

And note that having patents doesn't protect you against trolls. Trolls don't care as they usually don't have product. Patents are only defensive against other actual product companies.
Disruptive technologies generally target early adopters first at a higher cost. Then once they move to a more mainstream market the prices drop.
I'm the opposite. I'm ordering things from Newegg every few weeks and I hardly ever buy from Amazon.

Though for the past year we've had a free Amazon Prime account because my wife is a college professor. With free shipping, we ordered a lot more things than we would've otherwise.
There are two categories of people - those who are sophisticated enough to know that linux kernels these days are all fairly mature, and, what the .stable branch is, and those who aren't and use the kernel supplied by their Linux Distributor, and will, of course, be coddled with an appropriately safe version brand. RHEL 6, Ubuntu 11.04, etc...

Neither of those groups will be negatively impacted by setting the kernel version to 2.8 (or 3.0)

I pay for Audible since it's about the only way I can churn through all the books I want to read thanks to long commutes. I opt for a good usenet account instead of Netflix/Hulu simply because the selection/quality isn't good enough yet and, at best, the content is spread between at least two services. Usenet is just easier.

The bill doesn't actually seem to be all that anti-muni broadband. Here are the major requirements it imposes on municipal broadband:

* Must comply with the same state, local, and federal laws that a private provider would have to comply with.

* Cannot use zoning or land use regulations to force people to force people to subscribe, or make use of monopoly city services (like electricity or gas) conditional on subscribing to municipal broadband.

* Must provide non-discriminatory access to poles, conduits, right-of-ways and such unless there is not enough capacity and it cannot reasonably be added.

* Cannot use funds from other services, such as electricity, gas, or garbage collection, to subsidize their broadband offering.

* Cannot provide the service at below cost.

* Must pay to the city general fund the equivalent of the fees and taxes that a private provider would have to pay in that city. There are similar provisions covering county and state taxes.

* These requirements do NOT apply to municipal broadband in "unserved areas". An unserved area is an area where only 10% or less have broadband (and satellite does not count as broadband).

* Two public hearings, at least 30 days apart, have to be held before setting up municipal broadband. Any feasibility studies, plans, and such associated with the proposal have to be made available to the public before the meeting.

* The city can't give itself certain tax breaks on equipment and service purchases unless those tax breaks apply to private providers too. E.g., it could not exempt the purchase of routers from city sales tax if private providers have to pay city sales tax on routers.

This doesn't seem all that bad. If the phone company and cable company are being unreasonable this should leave plenty of room for a city to offer a competitive service and undercut them. Conversely, if the city can only compete by subsidizing from other services, forcing people to subscribe, and so on, then that indicates that the incumbent providers are doing fine.

The timelimit is actually one year or less for most people. You only get 2 years when you're older than 58.

For anyone else it depends on how long you've been employed before applying for unemployment support. Been employed for longer than 24mo? You get 12mo support. Been employed for only 12mo? Then you get only 6mo of support.
The math is about the relative costs and benefits of altruistic behaviors. Altruistic behaviors must be a net benefit to an individual or group in terms of reproductive success, or else it would die out of a population. For a business analogy, the behavior needs to turn a profit.

In the case of kin selection in particular, the math is described by Hamilton's Rule, an inequality that must be satisfied in order for kin selection to explain a given altruistic interaction between individuals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._D._Hamilton#Hamilton.27s_rul...).
Did you mean "How do you monetize it?" (if you meant AdSense) or, did you mean "AdWords" if you really meant "market it"? AFAIK, AdSense is for making money from your content, while AdWords is for marketing your products / services.

> I tried this as an experiment to see if I wanted to order more music this way, but it only downloaded half the songs. Still a deal at 99cents, but not an experiment I’ll want to repeat with a full-price album.

This is "expanding the userbase", and seems overwhelmingly successful.

I've been thinking recently that "sales" (as in specials, temporary price reductions) are a socially acceptable way to do discriminatory pricing (different prices for different people).

You want to do this because some people are happy to pay more (so you want to charge the higher price), and some people will only buy at a lower price. If you price it high, you lose the low people; if you price it low, you can't charge the high people a high price. It makes sense to therefore have offer high prices to high people, and low prices to low people. But people hate this! Amazon actually tried it for a while, until it was noticed (maybe they still do, but in a less discernible way?)

A sale is a way to capture those low people, and only losing some high people. This is apart from getting them to be regular users.
> Also, since it is often times rural in nature, said ISPs may not get you service because there aren't enough subscribers on your street. So there is that problem

If only 10% or less are served in an area, than that is an "unserved area", and the bill does not apply there.
