Why should drug users even have to be forced to take medical 'treatment' if they have not otherwise committed any other crimes.

The problem with rehabilitation is that it places people at the mercy of subjective assessment for unlimited time. In the case of prison at least there is a definite term, but those undergoing rehabilitation may never be released (they may simply never be deemed 'cured').

But note that we are talking about an otherwise victimless crime here.
Looks pragmatic and useful. I've been experimenting with a similar implementation inspired by Clojure's Hiccup, but Coffekup looks mature enough to consider adopting.
Here is what amazes me about this: an iPod touch costs ~$230, and it is considered by some to be cheap for what you are getting (compare it to small Android tablets).

This is a whole laptop for less than that price.

Also, I don't think that comparing it to the MacBook Air makes much sense - this is not the laptop designed to be the thinnest, it is designed to be the cheapest.
While this blog post is well written and has a good point, I have seen several interviews with him and for some reason, every time the reporter quizzes him on the effects his new Diet/Fitness have had on his tennis, he is very quick to change the direction of the interview to his actual play. It is either something personal (perhaps change of diet does not give much street cred) or some PR person telling him, however it is quite obvious that he is trying to direct the public opinion........I have no basis for this, however it almost feels like his nutritionist was doing a bunch of interviews taking all the credit and when everyone started asking him for comment he feels compelled to take the credit back.

> if the language was designed well

Do you mean to reinforce that the language is not beginner-friendly, or are you really asserting that makes the language poorly-designed? If it's the latter, you should really at least explore some other factors before making the conclusion. It seems to me that it's a relatively minor distinction once you know it, so from a design perspective that may simply be a tradeoff for some other advantage.
Hackers Break Into Fox News Account, Tweet Fake Obama Assassination News
The article should add a caveat: use UNIX time when you are recording the current time to store for later use. That can always be formatted in the user's current timezone to display back.

When you're inventing a rule system based on local times, as you are above, of course you need to track the rules in the local time zone. That's because the rule is: "do this thing at 9am in my particular local time zone", not "do this thing every 86400 seconds". Keep in mind that this is hard, though, due to the fact that in many local time zones, one hour is missing on one day ("spring forward"), and one hour occurs twice on one day ("fall back"). If you have some event that should be triggered at 1:30am, which 1:30am do you mean? The first 1:30am or the second 1:30am? What about on the "spring forward" day, when 1:30am doesn't occur at all?

Boohoo. FTP is by design an insecure and overly complex protocol, and any firewall-admins nightmare to handle.

Anyone using FTP in this time and age should be prepared for pain. That the pain is now related to a bug in a software-implementation instead of a bug in the base protocol-design doesn't really shift the pain that much. It's FTP and FTP is pain. You do get what you asked for.

If you want security and something simple to administer, just go for SSH and SCP. Granted, it wont allow anonymous downloads, but if that's all you need, why not just go with HTTP in the first place?
Possibly overkill, but if clients are concerned about deciding who gets the email they could use something like RT (or a more user-friendly alternative :). I'm sure with a few clever hacks you could probably route anything mentioning 'accounts', 'invoices' etc. to the accounts department automatically, and anything which isn't caught can be quickly sent to the correct department.
I consider the above advice pretty good (to be taken as prescribed, with a grain of salt).

I would add to the list of "things to avoid" (hard drugs, marriage, mortgage, child): spending weekday time in front of movies/games.

Use your productive time on something that you can be proud of or that will create lasting memories. Save recreational activities to do with friends on the weekend - just like sex the novelty will wear off, and they just aren't as fun solo.
Is the rationale behind this prize / contestant format to make it easy to avoid tax obligation?

I'm just wondering why they set it up this way rather than stating it as a freelancer format.
Amazon to Acquire The Book Depository
I agree with you.

In fact, the author stated that a lot of architectural decisions are made in orded to make a game more approachable to new coders and designers, including the choice of WML, usage of "standard" libraries (WML) and as much separation between modules as possible.
This advice sounds a bit immature to me (which the author hints at in the end) -- it's sounds like a sign of one who hasn't taken "know thyself" to heart -- that the author defines himself and is motivated through the expectations and desires of others, rather than being driven by inner strength and understanding (deeply set principles) and hence an intrinsic motivation.
Considering that. But how do I make sure I won't get to the same point again?

I'm with you on that black battery thing. We all know that Apple is a bit dishonest when they show their Macbook Air from the front and it looks as thin as cardboard (optical illusion), but when you look at a Macbook Air from the side it's actually kinda slim in reality.

Now, that X101 with the red-black coloring looks slim if you trust the optical illusion, but if you look closely it's nowhere close to the Macbook Air.
That's what happens when poor gov'ts sell of their telecom, energy, postal, gambling, etc. monopolies to foreign investors.
You don't have to lack ethics yourself to be unphased by others' lack of them. I don't know if you're just trolling or something but I think this needs to be addressed either way. Dishonesty has the distinct disadvantage of leaving you with the need to maintain a fabrication; honesty has the huge advantage of meaning you have nothing to hide. If you slip up your reputation is tarnished and even if you don't you have to actually maintain the lie. If you really believe the best way through life is to lie your way through it then I really pity you.
In this case pretty low, because the maintainer's key is not in the "strong set" of the web of trust.

However there are more than 40k keys in that strongest set (see http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/plot/ for example), and if you care, you can easily get into that set by attending a key signing party a big open source conference. (I participated at a DebConf and LinuxTag, but I'm pretty sure OSCON also has one...)

Great to see your income is growing. Keep it up. Are you working on new Android apps, or still the old ones? I don't know your apps but I think you said your apps are pretty simple ones. Are you considering building a more ambitious app that might need many months of work before being launched?
Cute name and well executed project.

But personally, Coffeescript -> Javascript -> HTML sounds way too indirect for my taste.

I've seen this patter a few too many times at work now: the new frontend guy loves HAML, and he uses it on a project, and the next couple guys that help maintain it hate it and rewrite everything in straight up HTML.
I think it's a misguided attempt at being funny / shocking which you find funny when you're doing it (just because the act of posting to a Fox twitter account is funny) but isn't.

I agree though, there are loads of things that might have been funny they could have gone with announce Rupert Murdoch is endorsing Palin or that Bachmann has come out for gay marriage.

There are plenty of things which aren't offensive and might actually linger as rumours or stories a bit longer than something where people have an obvious reason to rapidly falsify it.
Late to that party, but I'll give my $0.02 regardless.

I won't defend C: it's all that you say. I think one of the acknowledged reasons for C's longevity is that it is impedance-matched for UNIX because they grew up together, and for various reasons UNIX is popular with hackers; therefore C is popular. C is deeply rooted within UNIX, partly because the ABI has been so stable for so long. If you want to write a library for UNIX, you generally target C because anything else will run into a quagmire of cross-compiler incompatibility issues. That means all the good libraries on UNIX are written in C or present a C ABI/API. The easiest language to use a C library from is... C. Or C++. So application writers (and tool writers) have often favoured C as well, although the rise of interpreted languages such as Python, Perl, and Ruby has changed that a bit. Also, the C/C++ toolchains have tended to be more advanced than those of other languages.

So, C is still with us, but for reasons that don't have as much to do with its merits as a language as with its merits as a platform (when coupled with UNIX).
SecureAuth Entices Managed Service Providers
With its managed service provider (MSP) partner program, SecureAuth aims to exploit the burgeoning demands from service providers by delivering to their clients an identity enforcement platform that is both scalable and has the ability to streamline cloud, virtual private networks, on-premise, or mobile resources. Essentially, MSPs will be able to market SecureAuth technology using monthly licensing, with customers benefiting from robust authentication procedures, identity management services, and simple, secure sign-on.

Seriously? Go, find a hobby. And then invest in that - time and money. That's what I do. I am nowhere near your position, but I find great comfort in donating money to witty lil' startups on kickstarter, buy random electronic crap for my modular synthesizer and even think of a start-up.
What does Greece 'do'? I can tell you what France exports/makes, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, even Portugal, but Greece; do they actually do anything? Is anything created there? Do the Greek actually work? I've been on vacation there a few times, and i've never seen people so lazy; we went into restaurants and actually had to literally kick the waiters to serve us; they were annoyed that customers came in.
Whilst I appreciate the effort that people put into these things, I really don't like this sudden obsession of adding another layer of abstraction over everything. Abstrations are hard to debug, require a learning curve of 2x the original problem and are rarely complete.

Box’s Dual Initiatives Rev Cloud Transition Accelerator
Box has debuted two initiatives for affiliated certified resellers and solution providers, aiming to streamline the adoption of their cloud content management solution, which caters for companies in a variety of weight-classes.

It gets worse. I had the following variations of #1 and #2:

an authoritarian boss that overruled everything - as I came to learn, because he was underqualified and didn't understand what we were proposing, so he tried to stick to the status quo and rule through obscurity of some key components;

and a pushover that agreed with everything - once again, because she didn't know anything. It meant we effectively had no boss (and no direction, and no focus or getting "in the zone"). Both were in the same company (awful HR I guess).

You cut the budget. Some companies go under, increasing unemployment. Unemployed people not produce and do not pay tax, but they continue to consume and receive government services (traffic lights, toilets, parks, police, firemen, etc). To further balance the reduction in tax revenue from the increase in unemployment, you cut the budget some more. Some more companies go under, further increasing unemployment, decrease tax revenue, leading to further budget cuts etc.

Eager and Lazy Evaluation in Fexl
So, I've got a question... Whilst this is undeniably cool, can anyone actually anything beyond short children's literature being told this way?

As a more random note, what innovation have people seen/would people like to see in the literature space? How would you tell a novel online?

Discloser: am writing a novel, and reserve the right to totally take any ideas from this and incorporate them. If I do, you'll get a credit in the book.
Totally didn't get this until I started poking around. Assumed the next page links up the top would take me forward, not scrolling right.
Ummm, Google launched this? Says who?
What a difference a day makes. The day after this discussion about my problems with lazy evaluation, I figured out an incredibly simple solution: http://fexl.com/eager_and_lazy
Thank you, best advice so far. I find I am slightly lacking in soft skills/mentoring skills. I mostly come across as edgy on first meetings which scares some people off- it is related to my cultural background where smiling is only done for a reason, not as a courtesy. However people which have known me for more than a few days find that I am quite friendly/useful.

Where do you think I should start? How do you think I should improve my mentoring skills?
Agreed, we should write everything in binary

I assume most people feel that p(getting caught) is small enough to eliminate most of the negative utility that a conviction would carry in their expected utility calculations.

What I'd like to see tested in court: we can record things on t.v. with a VCR for a private version, right? Could we record what Netflix displays, in this case TNG? Is this any different from torrenting a copy of the content, instead of recording, if you have a Netflix subscription?
No they won't. The idea that 12am is night and 12pm is day is pretty well entrenched in society.
One thing that bothers me about IBM/Lenovo is that the Fn key is where control should be.

I have an Eee PC with the same style of keyboard as the X101 and I can't really think of anything negative about it. It's the best laptop keyboard I've ever used and I've reached speeds up to 130 wpm on it.
Personally, I'd like you to raise kids. I think there should be more people who apply their intelligence in the world.*

However, I think you should find something that interests you, something you enjoy doing overall, and do that.

This could be:

- Entrepreneurial - see a gap which needs filling, and start to fill it.

- A pure hobby - something you could never make a living out of.

- Changing the way you make your living, working at a startup, or teaching others what you have learned.

- Studying something interesting.

*I come from a moderately poor area in the UK, there are plenty of people I know who don't apply themselves. You are a welcome contrast to this!

Is your social graph that is on google mostly tech folks? The problem I'm getting at is that a normal person going to the site is still getting the later message which means that quite a lot of social graphs won't show up since the one or two people needed to get them on cannot get on themselves.
then you clearly like money more than anything else :P)
Do you have money to stay a year off work? If yes, quit your job and work on something yourself (you sound like you could figure out what it is). Reclaiming those 8 most creative hours of your life can make a huge difference. Even if you don't have an absolute business plan right now, having an open horizon will give you a new perspective.

I took a year off at 28 after 7 years in a small company to do a Master's programme. I ended up becoming an indie developer and its only gotten better since. We live in great times, take advantage of it. If, OTOH, your plan is to start a family etc., it would be better to stick to the corporate safety.

But most of all, you should not take other people's advice too literally; life doesn't come with a manual, and nothing can guarantee happiness.
This got me thinking. Are there an equivalent of streetsmart on the web - "websmart"? I can't see trace of it in this kids parents or the kid himself. Isn't this sort of useless restriction the first thing you learn to circumvent when you enter the web? It's a web page/service for god sake, not a life threatening mechanical contraption that might chop your head of if used improperly.
