This is only true depending on how seasoned a netizen someone is. True story: I have a friend of mine whom I once verbally communicated a (now long-gone) gmail address to, with Swedish pronounciation. The result was him smirking a bit, and some time later asking me if I got the pictures he sent to my "gaymail.com address". This could just as well have ended up being "geemail.com" or "yeemail.com" had I gone with English pronounciation. He just didn't know what google or gmail was. He doesn't use the net in the same ways we do.

But let's be realistic... it's not like the world of internet users suffered from a supposed problem with miscommunicated email addresses before "geemail.com" came around. We managed just fine.

Tim Cook's function at Apple is to take care of all the shit Steve doesn't want to be burdened with because Steve wants to spend all day obsessing on small product details like removing unneeded buttons.

He did manage to start a very popular thread, and get a ton of people with really high rep to respond AND get a link on HN. He just threw out some bait, and the community swarmed like starving fish.

It's certainly possible. I'd note there are a variety of services who exist solely to provide "in store music" to stores, which handle all the copyright/broadcast rights etc....and they are generally pretty affordable.

Still I wouldn't be surprised if there was a discount for stations that are pure public-domain or if small franchises were just playing it themselves (though presumably the recording/performance itself is still protected and they might not be in the clear legally if they were say, just playing a CD)

>I'm starting to think that we need a free music movement,

It already exists, it's called the Open Source Movement (well, amongst others). There is a variety of music available under say, a Creative Commons license...and many websites devoted purely to free-music.

That is actually possible.

The case here shows what happens when you offer too much features/resouces in the free plan.

The toughest part now is deciding if it makes sense to invest more time into it. But I guess that is a general problem for startups that haven't yet found product/market fit. You can't really know if you are miles or just an inch away from that fit.

I've signed up to check it out. As Alex said, it's a good idea, nice design, etc.

Maybe the feature exists and I didn't spot it, but if you white labelled it so that web designers could send out branded messages to their clients as a value-add, I think you could see paid accounts pick up a bit.

Edit: OK, first email is in. Seems that I have to click a link or get an attachment - this is why I already avoid the Analytics mailed reports. Any chance you can just send the data in the email or does the API not permit it for some reason? I probably wouldn't use this going forward if I had to click through to something or open a PDF, I know that's sulky but just how it is.
This is an excellent little PDF that was very useful to me when I put together a recent talk titled "API Design Matters". It's amazing how a bit of energy spent focusing on an API's design can improve so many aspects of both using and developing said API.
Too bad the source is obfuscated. This is the kind of thing that could draw a young person into digging deeper into programming.

Woz's lineage is in the overall engineering talent. Woz himself was no longer a major part of the company by the time the Mac was designed. Guys like Bud Tribble, Andy Hertzfeld, and Bill Atkinson were three of Woz's (many) successors already. It's not down to any individual exec to carry on Woz's legacy, because Woz was never an executive, not even an engineering executive. He only wanted to be an engineer. There are thousands of successors to Woz, and perhaps not a single successor to Jobs in the whole company.

I hope Sony is building a centralized IT division after the PSN outage and all these embarrassing websites will be gone soon.
If they don't then their CEO should be fired for ignorance.

I would be interested in the internal structure that leads to these incredible unprofessional results, there has to be something fundamentally wrong.

I make a guess, because when you think about it, this whole thing is generated with css and html. It is so funny that with all these horizontal lines it looks like a real Captcha but it isn't. This was just built to satisfy some manager who didn't accept/know that their team isn't trained in image generation techniques. There was some deadline who needed to be satisfied and they were forced to do this.
It's always disappointing when people's cool demos have obfuscated/minified JS source. It destroys the readability and hackability of the code, and it means that if you find bugs (like I did in this demo) you can't trivially fix them either.
This reminds me of a book I read a few years ago - Mind Hacks [1]. It discussed all kinds of interesting mechanisms that our brains use to fool us into thinking that we are always aware of our environment.

In the eye chapter, there was an interesting side-effect of the saccade movement - the "broken watch". This is when your brain fools you into thinking that the picture you see after a saccade has been the same during the movement itself. When you look at your watch and your timing is just right, you will be left with the impression that the seconds arm stays fixed for longer than it should.

I highly recommend the book - it really demonstrates our inner-machinery.

I found a registrar that sold this domain to me, anything you throw at it ends up on one of my machines.
I was thinking these were individual images what would be stupid enough, but this....
It never hurts to be careful. When it comes to security, defense requires closing all possible holes, while offense requires finding only one. It would be irresponsible for the employee not to at least be cautious when dealing with this auditor. It's worth taking a few minutes to call the company performing the audits and verify that the auditor is who he says he is.
You would probably want to run it on something like a POWER7 for best possible performance then, which have fewer but faster cores than comparable x64s, if there is an AIX port.

I dislike the analogy between parking tickets and plagiarism. In most US jurisdictions, parking violations aren't even a misdemeanor, but merely a "summary offense". Of course the police can ignore them.

But in the context of academia, plagiarism is not a summary offense. Academics are rewarded primarily for the originality of their work, and plagiarism is an offense against major community norms. The appropriate response to an offense against major community norms is removal from the community.

At my university, the punishment for a few copied sentences was a 9-month suspension and a note on your transcript, and professors were specifically instructed not to handle first offenses on their own. Second offenses were handled by permanent expulsion. In practice, there were apparently edge cases (students with ambiguous evidence and very expensive lawyers being the most obvious).

So I really am reacting to the first part of Panos' post. I consider cheating vastly more serious than a parking ticket, and I'm appalled that so many institutions consider it a minor offense. Panos' suggested workaround of making cheating more difficult seems strangely irrelevant to the real problem, which is that a huge minority of NYU think cheating is OK. His students, perhaps, would be far better served by a sharp lesson in basic honestly than they would by learning about fleeting technological trends.

This is completely off topic, but you know that VOSS water? It comes from a place in Norway called Voss, about an hour from where I live. The people who live at Voss have actual VOSS water coming from their tap. True story.

To be sure, VOSS actually DOES taste much better than most other bottled water, and leagues better than tap water does in most cities. If it's worth 15 dollars might be another question. That was today's trivia fact.

Right click works in chrome 12.0.742.122 / os x and when you right click on letter x it comes up with an option "Search Google for 'x'"...
No, because

- the password you store on the phone (in cleartext) is not the real account password, it's a string for this device only and you can revoke access at any time

- Someone should not be able to use your phone (via call/text message) as unlock device, unless you lost it

- In that case you should lock the SIM for for a multitude of reasons anyway - and you'll get a new SIM that you can use to recover your account

I think the first one is the most important though: You just don't have to store your real password.

The point of the Captcha is to block fraud and bots. If it is good enough to do this then who cares how it is implemented.

Obviously it is useless against a bot written to spam the specific sites this is on but I assume it will stop a generic bot (eg forum spamming one).

Why are they disabling right click? I mean, captcha is there to stop bots. Bots have no 'right click'.

My guess is that the programmer didnt really know the reason for using a captcha. He has seen captcha's in other places (and how irritating they are) and has tried to copy them.

Or am I missing a certain point?

> There are thousands of successors to Woz

That alone means a lot of authority. Woz embodies half of Apple's soul - the brilliantly unique hardware. It's true his half has been taken care by his successors, but it's still his half, although I suspect the PC-ness of current Macs would be offensive to him and he being on board would be our only chance of seeing an elegant x86-based computer, ever.

That said, he wouldn't probably be a good CEO. But he could be brought on board as an advisor. Apple has grown into a vastly different company since the Apple II days, but there is nobody else who can personify what Apple is all about.

Interestingly enough, every interview I see with him is mostly Apple-centric. Although he doesn't work there for about 24 years, this shows how closely associated with Apple he is in the eyes of the public.
No, submitters don't get neither security nor what captcha is for.

codinghorror.com (iirc) was using "captcha" which never changed, you just had to enter "orange". Or was it tbray.org?
Anyway, Atwood claims, that naive approach was 99.9% effective: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/10/captcha-effectivene...

My position is that ANY form of captcha which requires some action by visitor is broken by design and should not be used at all.

Simple captcha like this will stop most of the automattic not targeted attacs. And if someone decides to write CAPTHCA breaker specifically for this site, nothing can help—then you either degrade to the level than even humans cannot say what characters are on the screen or it is cheeper to hire Mechanical Turk to do the job.
Or just cut and paste:

D	F	T	L	F

And they use a goofy font that is hard for humans to read but would be trivial for a machine to recognize, if it actually had to. Too funny.
Just for fun, I decided to see how hard it would be to solve this catpcha with jQuery. It's worse than I thought.
