I'm rather wary of emulating Safari here..

The new two finger default page gesture is proving rather problematic for the web-app I'm currently working on (which has a workspace larger than the screen which you can scroll around). If you scroll to the left you can accidentally do a page-back and leave the app. Setting a beforeunload handler actually makes the problem worse because the confirmation dialog doesn't appear until the page has completely disappeared, and if you choose to stay on the page, Safari just shows a blank page instead of redisplaying the app.

I don't quite understand the by-default conflation of two actions (scrolling and paging) using two fingers. It's all very well that I can myself change to three finger swipes for paging, but I can hardly instruct all Lion/Safari users to change their system settings. (I understand that a workspace web-app is rather the edge case).

One thing that distinguishes it, from the article, is that it doesn't mount the machine's hard drive.

Anyone can do essentially what they're doing just by using a live CD. They've gone a bit beyond that by not mounting the hard drive as noted, and whatever other changes they've made that the article doesn't specify.
What I was surprised to learn about the eye is that the area of foveal vision, the central part of the image that can see fine details, is about the size of a quarter held at arms length from your face. You can only ever clearly see a tiny dot, but your eyes dart around and paint a picture for your brain to show you.

This is a pretty simple web based Kanban board that I hacked out this week during down time at work. I've had several projects going at a time lately, but with down time between them while waiting for others to complete tasks...thats what gave me the idea for this.

Like I said, it's pretty simple, but it works well for me. I figured I'd submit it here and get some real world feedback on how I can improve it.

FYI, It's all HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I used localStorage to persist data between sessions.
I'm on OS X Lion and I had to --force the installs but they appear to be working correctly. Very simple and use to use, though not as smart as rvm about version numbers (for example, typing 2.7 won't automatically switch to your 2.7.2 install -- you have to explicitly use 2.7.2). Also, no Jython/IronPython/PyPy.

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money.

It is not the pubicly-held companies. It is the power of money to control, persuade, influence, or even empower.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. It is true that money doesn't buy happiness but even truer that not having money can cause unhappiness via stress among other things.

The problem is what people who have money decide to do with it and how they choose to influence the larger whole. Many of the people who have put their entire intellect towards making money, have desired to do so for the wrong reasons and therefore use it in a net negative way as you have put it.

I guess what I am saying, is that it falls on the individual to make the right decision, and not corporations, governments or societies as a whole.
This seemed fishy to me, I did some digging and I found a posting on the zodiackillerfacts.com forums which debunks this forced "solution".

It essentially just provides a way to have multiple python installations with less configuration on your part.

I am not speaking for lotharbot's interpretation of fun, but I've learned that there are many of them. Some love goals and putting themselves and their intelligence, diligence, planning, and various abilities to the test to see how much they can achieve.

Others find this more burdensome than fun, and there are many, many other ways of interpreting what is fun.
His reply gives me the shivers, partly because I'm afraid I won't be able (if I were ever to be locked out) to generate enough attention to warrant a response by Vic himself. But mostly because of the incredibly reassuring way he chose to word his response:

I checked out google takeout - but it only lets me backup the services I don't care about. Google for imapgrab. It's a tiny python program and it's as simple as can get.

Reading this link gave me the push I needed to finally backup my gmail. I've been worried about the [probably very low] risk of Google deciding to close my account, but I'm going to take it into my own hands now, and start using Gmail as my reader only.
I think there's an important lesson here that you can take home right now: If your primary email is an @gmail.com address, you have your head firmly in the lion's mouth.

You can backup your data. You can have fallback tools and services. You cannot backup your identity. And if that identity is controlled by Google, you are tying your online existence for the duration to the foibles of a publically traded company with a shitty track record of customer support.

Tell me with a straight face that you know Google won't mess you around like this - not just now, but for the next decade. Hell, tell me you know your account won't be algorithmically disabled tomorrow. If your last name isn't Gundotra, I don't think you can. Why, then, are you taking that risk when the cost is so small?

.com domains retail for about $10/year, Google Apps Free Edition is here: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html - you can keep the services you like while retaining control of your email address.

It puzzles me how anyone can think solving this cipher will reveal who the killer is. Morality aside, to have eluded police or so long, it's undeniable this was an extremely intelligent individual. More, he was not rash. Intelligent people who do these kind of things, do not leave evidence lying around, because they realize even they can make mistakes - it's not worth the risk.

If the Zodiac is dead, my bet is he never intended this cipher to be solved - and therefore it's probably gibberish. I can't see a man who has waged this kind of crusade letting himself fade into history without a single reminder of his legacy.
Subdomains or Subfolders in a Post-Panda Web
I think there's a line between "These are patterns that we have seen work" and "These are good patterns so use them". Back when I first read the book, I was pretty junior and I remember thinking "oh! I can use this...and this!". And built "wonderfully" over-architected code. Now I'll run into situations where after I starting working on some the solution I have resembles a pattern - and it's nice to be able to use common terms that the other developers will understand when you discuss it.

They're not 'Do this, and you'll have good code', they're just an observation that good code may often use many of these patterns - not because they're forced in there, but because the solution simply maps well to that kind of model.
I kind of like that idea as well, although the escaping is a little ugly. The purist in me wishes I was always dealing with objects which knew how to display themselves and behave. Then I'd simply be an object arranger/orchestrator and life would be simple. What is wrong with this approach really?

You forgot "And that's an immoral way to operate. As individuals, we should try very hard to discourage that mentality. But that's the way the world operates at this time."

Personally, I've given up hope that the world will ever be different. But if there is any hope, it will take the form of: "We will no longer tolerate your impersonal policies and rationalizations". So we should try to speak out against it.

But yeah. People are irrational cows that throw money at anything shiny. So that won't happen, and the world won't change.

Moo.

Simpler. I set up my personal email on a domain I own to forward to my gmail account. In gmail, I "claimed" my email (it sent me a message with a link which I clicked). After that, I can send from gmail and Google will sign it as coming from my personal email (on the domain I own).
This made me concerned. I have my own domain which indeed uses Google Apps, but I just forward all my mails from there to my @gmail.com account. This needs to switch.

I have Google Apps Free for my personal domain and I am considering moving to the paid one, just to be able to phone them if anything ever goes wrong. (The Android remote-wipe feature that comes with it might be worthwhile too, just-in-case.)

I also primarily use an IMAP client which saves a local copy of all my email, so although the "identity" issues (and non-email data) bother me a bit, I do have at all times essentially a backup of all my mail.

My eye doctor certainly thinks that's a contributing factor. His recommendation (for me) was that after every hour (or 55 minutes) of PC work, I should spend five minutes looking at things at distance (buildings, trees, etc). It's probably frowned upon by my employers (as I don't have a window office), but it's helped reduce my eye strain quite a bit.

Google is missing an opportunity here. If they offered a paid service where for an annual subscription I can REACH someone when I need to (subject to a reasonable max number of contacts per year) then I would pay fairly well for that. I would also not use the service unless I REALLY had to. And I wouldn't expect the subscription to guarantee that everything was resolved in my favor, just to guarantee that I got an opportunity to speak with someone and make my case.

If Google doesn't want to be in this business (because customer service is NOT one of their strengths) they could work deals with 3rd parties who would be glad to provide "customer support" for Google. But they'd have to be willing to talk to the 3rd parties. If they are willing to talk to NO ONE, then we wind up with situations like this one.

Failing to get agreement from YC/TS is the result of a myriad of reasons and doesn't mean you should stop. That seems just silly. If I'm trying to teach you how to play Chess and you can't figure out how the Knight works, should I just give up on trying to teach you? The Knight does move, other people do understand it so sooner or later I should be able to figure out how to teach you to play Chess. Other people do get into YC/TS and they do start tech companies just like mine. I see no reason to give up because I/you haven't been able to get them to agree with you yet.

The problem with having your own domain for email is the communication factor. When I tell someone my email is charles.lastname@gmail.com, there's no miscommunication. Worst case I have to spell out my last name, but generally if someone's asking for email they already have my last name.

If you buy a domain, nowadays, you have few options with respect to getting an email that sounds legit, mature, and isn't long and/or uses easily misspelled words.

I have a bunch of domains, but none of them are particularly appropriate for an email address I would verbally communicate to someone. bluh.org is my main domain, but when you say 'bluh' out loud to someone, you inevitably have to spell it. I once owned thereisnocharles.com, which was a goofy thing and I used that as my main email address before gmail came along. But it's long, and it doesn't sound professional at all.

I guess we could all just use something like gmail as a simple forwarder service to our owned email addresses, but even then, it's not a foolproof solution.
Data you can download, identity is hard to change.

For example: I can download all my mail from gmail (using POP or IMAP) regularly. If I lose the account I still have my mails. I can't change the mail amazon (or whatever other site) knows about unless I have access to my gmail account (I realize you can probably talk to their customer support but it doesn't scale well at all. I have about 120 different logins using my @gmail.com address...).

What honorable ideology do you mean? Or are you speaking generically?

Al qaeda's ideology is quite simple. They reject modernity, they reject individualism, they reject modern commerce, and industry, and open societies. They want to end the influence of the western, liberal world on the arab/islamic world so that the latter can be returned to or preserved as a bastion of conservative and traditionalist culture and religion. Norwegians are as objectionable to their ideology as Americans, as they represent precisely those forces that they are fighting against (hedonism, personal liberty, etc.)

Aside from that, Norwegians have not shown as much respect or deference to Islam as al qaeda imagines they should. Norwegian newspapers reprinted the famously blasphemous "Mohammad cartoons", for example. We may not imagine that such a thing is important, we may imagine that free expression including blasphemy is indeed even a right that all people should have, and I think we should. But we shouldn't have any illusions that there are a lot of people who think otherwise. Who believe that blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy should be banned and punished to the most severe extent even up to death. It's curious to me that so many people could so easily misapprehend the motives and ideology of so prominent a movement as militant Islamism and so prominent an organization as al qaeda.

I think the auction process is flawed. It fosters an oligarchy of corporations with deep pockets and consumers end up with absurdly expensive services like texting. Sure the government gets revenues, but it just gives the taxing authority to private entities. Land lines are a natural monopoly but cellular service is not.
Another thing to think about is OAuth. If you if you lose an account at Google or Facebook that you've used to sign into another site, you lose them too.

Will insurance companies adjust rates in response to this, as it will likely lower expected costs?
Perhaps. But the vast disparity between the class of user that an advertiser is versus, well, everyone else, makes the original language both apt and more economical.

There are infinite degrees of nuance everywhere you look. We use language to reduce that complexity. You can call it sophistry as much as you like — the reason it's polarizing is because the reality sucks for 99% of people who need Google's help — they're not treated as customers as most people understand that term. Inconvenient but true.
As someone who has my own domain, I find it very rare that I actually have to tell someone my email address out loud using my voice. 99% of the time they get it from an online profile, or my website, or by receiving an email from me, or by me filling in a form, online or physical, or a business card, or by me writing it down.

I don't see this as a valid issue to deter anyone from getting their own domain.
