"Anti-music" groups? Is there some group of librarians out there trying to hush anyone playing music or something?

We may not know why the complaint was issued, but we know that the artist released it on his own YouTube account and we know that the video was replaced by a copyright notice. Those are all things that any person browsing the web could verify for themselves.

Only the copyright holder or their agent can authorize a DMCA notice, so it's pretty hard to understand why the artists own upload got taken down.

Try doing this with 3rd party sound libraries (e.g. East|West) and you can quickly get into loading times that are hugely longer. I love opening my projects that only use Logic's built in synths, because they load quickly compared the marathons that can ensue when I am working on a large, fully-orchestral, 70/80-track piece.

And that's before I've added other media, such as video, to the project.

Brand new suse.com website as SUSE becomes more independent as a Business Unit
Not suprising considering who is behind it, and how much free press they are getting for their efforts (wish my own startup was getting as much press lovin'). Will be interesting to see how many of these users are there to stay though, and become active users. For example, I started to use it but stopped engaging once I realized there was no way I could import my Twitter updates, like I can with Facebook and LinkedIn.

There are many shortcomings in the platform if you look for them, but very few in the media are highlighting these because they are too busy reporting user growth figures like this article...

The WPF system is hierarchical rather than constraint-based. I've done a variety of complex (I mean really complex) WPF layouts that need to scale, and they're complex and fiddly. In many cases I would rather have had a constraint system. When you try to align things to a layout grid in any way, for example, it becomes very awkward.

But it's not clear to me constraint-based layout deals well with dynamic content; this may be a tradeoff.
Google Chrome Extensions for Language and Translators
Extensions are small software programs that can modify and enhance the functionality of the Chrome browser. You write them using web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Here we have collected some extensions/applications for Google Chrome, these are related to Translation and Languages. You simply have to add these in your Google Chrome then enjoy using one of these.

Startups should go for the low hanging fruit
I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how Google operates. They want to prevent lock-in, lock-in by anybody, because if the information is open, they can 'organize it and make it accessible and useful' (their mission statement).

Take their two most successful non-search products, Android and Chrome. Both of these are Open Source, and are explicitly positioned not directly to make money for Google, but rather to offer a highly functional, feature-rich and free product so that nobody else in the same market can try and lock consumers into their product without looking lacklustre by comparison.

Thus far Chrome has been extremely successful in this regard, Android moderately so - but that's Google's modus operandi throughout their business, and there's no reason to suspect that Plus will be anything different.

They just want to make sure they can search it - they don't care who controls it.

ParenScript (or CoffeeScript) is not the same as ClojureScript. ParenScript "transforms" a subset of CL to JS, while ClojureScript is a full-fledged target runtime for Clojure. For example, something like

(parenscript:ps (defun square (x) (* x n))) ;; [sic]

will compile fine to "incorrect" JS code. Try doing the same in ClojureScript, you'll get an error/warning from the compiler. This applies to CoffeeScript, etc. as well.

Update - To summarise, ClojureScript is to Clojure what ABCL is to Common Lisp.

10.7 is clearly the most secure Mac OS ever. It's basically parity with Windows 7 and mainstream Linux; inferior to security-specific Linux builds (e.g. SELinux).

There are also various tools to security-harden Windows 7 and Linux which don't (as far as I know) yet exist on OSX, or 10.7. One of the issues is the lack of vPro/TXT/TPM on Mac hardware. Another issue is the lack of any biometric or smartcard support in Mac hardware (you could add an aftermarket USB reader, but that's a pain on something like a laptop).

The only TPM-like protections in Apple hardware are to prevent piracy of OSX (hackintoshes), and you can see how efective those have been (existence of hackintosh is kind of proof that they haven't been).

Apple's iOS devices could be much more secure than they are, too -- they don't actually have effective "erase after 10 tries" password protection, in that it's possible to image the phone and then try to decrypt the image an infinite number of times offline. That's kind of unforgivable as a design flaw, IMO, and means you need to use a super long brute force resistant passphrase to keep the phone secure (which only one person I know does).
> When doing layout in source code, you use an ASCII art inspired format string that visually looks like the interface you're trying to create.

This is a cool idea. Instead of specifying layout inside strings, did you consider syntactic sugar or macros to do it in code?
I would say I am less concerned about how memory is packed, than how much is discarded. This is because memory is relatively cheap these days. A machine with 24 GB of memory costs around £1K.
However you make a good point that C++ gives you better control over how memory is arranged and you have to use hacks like the Unsafe class in Java (which is not as friendly)
The most obvious move (pun intended) would be to hire a bunch of top scientists who study emotional and social signaling.

It will be independent startups and amateur dilettantes are going to discover these technologies, because their financial interests are most aligned. So I suspect the internet marketers are going to be the ones to profit. Of course spamming is short sighted... the smart ones have yet to reveal their strategies.

Find the influential nodes on the network; cater to their interests; profit. Figure out who influences the influencers; cater to their interests; profit. Bubble all the way down. Trace the inner circles of influence until you can find cost-effective points of entry.

If anyone else is thinking similarly please get in touch...there's got to be some linear algebra to collapse this into an effective system. Or maybe it's a non-linear system. Dunno. I got to study up on Neural Networks; I prepaid my tutor for a session.

Google+ is blocking Opera, even though it will work fine in Opera.

Why is Google doing it? Ask Google. But Google already has a habit of blocking "unsupported" browsers, such as unknown browsers or browsers with small market share. If you have done something once, chances are that you have done it before. Google is ignorantly following tradition that will chastise people using that "unsupported" browser.

I have looked at the CSS, HTML, and JavaScript source code. Google uses unnecessary, server-side browser sniffing to send Opera a crippled webpage, missing CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, which, in effect, do not include web toolbar buttons and advanced feedback features.

If you don't already know, I created a User JS and extension for Google+ that will inject the missing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so that the web toolbar notification and share buttons will work correctly.

See my post here, and try out my Google+ Injector User JS or extension:
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=9922772

Also, try out my Google +1 Button extension. My extension will let you +1 a webpage even if it lacks +1 buttons.

Feedback requested! Thanks.

Google+ Injector 1.03 now tries to detect the language instead of using English by default.

Google+ Injector:
https://github.com/XP1/Google--for-Opera/

For the User JS, click on the file and then click "raw".
For the extension, click "Downloads" and then install "googlePlusInjector-1.03.oex".

If you use the User JS, "User JavaScript on HTTPS" must be enabled, and you will get an HTTPS warning for each browsing session.
opera:config#User%20JavaScript%20on%20HTTPS or opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS

If you use the extension, "User JavaScript on HTTPS" does not have to be enabled, so you will not get an HTTPS warning for each browsing session. However, for extensions, "Allow interaction with secure pages" must be enabled.

Known issues:
Webpages, like "https://plus.google.com/photos/ and "https://plus.google.com/circles/, do not have the notification and share text, so there is no way to get the the notification and share text for non-English languages. For these webpages, they will always show as "Notifications" and "Share", unless you edit the User JS.

One of the main reasons they have a bounty program is to prevent people releasing information about bugs before they have been fixed. I don't see why they should give him a bounty.
A well designed framework should allow you to use its separate components as well as the whole thing. For example, you can use Zend Framework as a full framework, or as a library by importing individual classes (e.g. I use Zend_Http_Client for connecting to RESTful APIs, even though none of my projects use Zend as a framework). Unfortunately most of the other frameworks I've used tend to be all or nothing.
> Probably lack of resources.

WHAT!

If you look at the JavaScript source code, you will see that Google is checking for the presence of Opera and then using that information to make it work in Opera.

The problem is the server-side browser sniffing that nullifies ALL THE THINGS.

The being nimble and touchy relationship stuff is nice, but the real reason you dont need a cofounder is: why split the equity 50/50, 75/25 or whatever it is? You used to need partners to share risk (mainly the infusion of capital). In this industry there are very small barriers to entry, faster returns, and plenty of money available if you have a good idea. Meaning there is very little risk on the part of a entrepreneur.

Why give up a substantial chuck of the equity for a "co-founder" when you can bring that same or similar person aboard 6 months later for a percent or two (5 at most) and get the same results.

The article overestimates the novelty of ASLR (nothing new compared to Linux and Windows), and goes on to underestimate the importance of (iOS-like) sandboxing.

Linux has sandboxing per SELinux. However, SELinux puts the burden of sandboxing on the administrator, or in the case of a desktop OS on the user. Apple, on the other hand puts the burden on the application developer.

Applications have to opt-in for Sandboxing [1]. Once an application opts-in, it has no access to anything but its own home directory. File opening/saving dialogs are handled through the pbox daemon, and are the only manner for the sandboxed process to get access to the 'outside world'. Some privileges like network access have to be retrieved through entitlements.

What we will see is the first, vendor-pushed attempt, to sandbox every application on a mainstream operating system. And it will probably work, because the burden is on the developers, not the users.

[1] Apple will probably make it mandatory in the future for new applications sold in the App Store.
At the very early stage it make perfect sense to just go for it and scratch that itch, but all too easy to then get burnout or bogged down in other aspects of the business.
Good advice re mentors. If you're on your own, you do need to have those external sanity checks.

Analytics for your Facebook friends
FQL Console is a Facebook application allowing you to learn more about your friends, by answering questions like:

Who are the single girls from my friends?
Who are the single guys ?
What girls are in complicated relationships?
What girls are in open relationships?
Who among your friends in an open relationship?

Of course, you can make any query supported by the FQL (Facebook Query Language).
Not really. If you compare "Identify as Opera" and "Identify as Firefox", you will see that the web toolbar notifications and share buttons are missing for the Opera user agent (also, advanced feedback tools are missing, where it takes a screenshot and allows you to highlight the problem area).

Exactly. Always felt like it's the other way around. Most of those freelance websites are overflowed with people from emerging markets.
Paul Graham is a great guy but he is now more an investor than an entrepreneur (or at least that is how he functions with Y Combinator). We should therefore realise that when he says that he prefers to invest in companies with more than one founder, he is saying this from the perspective of an investor.

And from the point of view of an investor, it makes a lot of sense to have more than one founder. You invest about the same amount as you would with a single founder business but you get double or more the passionate people working desperately to make the business work.

From the point of view of a founder, however, things are very different. Get in a cofounder and you have immediately halved your stake and possible payout. You have also lost a lot of control. You are no longer in complete control of the company - many decisions now has to vetted by your cofounder. Not necessarily a bad thing but there is something to be said - from a self-actualisation perspective - for having complete responsibility for your destiny.

> [1] Apple will probably make it mandatory in the future for new applications sold in the App Store.

I think the most likely scenario is that Apple will use the steady stream of revenue from selling in the App Store as bait for the devs, then, after they're hooked, switch up the rules on them and require everything to be sandboxed. By that point they will be dependent on the App Store for the majority of their revenue and will have no choice but to comply.

Not that I support Lulzsec or their actions, but I can understand their motives.
You have probably learnt a lot however. Also, you assume that if someone was not working on their start-up, they would be doing that high paid tech job you refer to. But the reason that many people do a start up is that they could not stand to do that high paid tech job in the first place.

Hackers Shift Attacks to Small Firms
The answer to why would you still use Java is here
"Java makes high level programming simpler and easier at the cost of making low level programming much harder. Fortunately most applications follow the rule of thumb that you spend 90% of your time in 10% of the code. This implies you are better off 90% of the time, worse off 10% of the time. ;)"
Why would you develop mroe than a small portion of your application in a low level language unless every part of your application is performance critcal?
It is actually much more than probable that Apple will require Mac App Store apps to be sandboxed, it is certain — Apple have notified developers that come Fall (I can't remember the exact month; October? November?) that requirement comes into action.

And even if that was not the case sandboxing would still be understated — the system provided segregation of common attack vectors, e.g. WebKit2's separate HTML parsing processes, Quicktime's separate video decoding processes, the segregated PDF parser, etc., is one of the bigger security enhancements of any OS.
It's a funny thing, this "Apple effect" -- and, love it or hate it, you have to have a little bit of respect for it. Shows how much brand matters.

Not a lot of companies can sell something like ASLR and basic application restrictions this well.
Does your comment suggest that it can't be that simple?
Out of them all, I'd say the 2011 goal could potentially be daunting for people. Speaking at a tech conference, you really need to know your stuff. Slightly more concrete objectives might help too. Good to have general guidelines though.

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best. Developing a complex and clever solution may your feel more skilled. Using a dispacther pattern often doesn't provides a real advantage and or the advantage it provides isn't needed.

I would agree with the suggestion that if you are going to use a dispatcher pattern with NIO, use a library like netty which does this for you. (In any case you don't write it youself)
