Brilliant. They have caught on to the filesharing tech of the mid 90s. By this rate of progress, they should work out how to clamp down on bittorrent by around 2017.
This game is pretty insane. I never got the hang of it when I was growing up but the part about not letting the ball drop has definitely helped me sharpen my skills in other sports. And personally, I think it also focuses your mind and trains your concentration. Which is a huge issue when it comes to projects for me - I can never concentrate or stay focused long enough on a single idea.

I honestly don't know who is worse, the companies who manage to fleece the taxpayer this way or the idiots in the upper levels of the civil service who don't really care because "it's just taxpayers money".
It was about 10 years ago, I can't really remember. Something like $10-20k? Maybe 50? It wasn't outrageous, but it was enough to get a lot of petrol stations competing for it.

There's also some users from Twitter, and also other users that have never liked Facebook and aren't using it. So Facebook may end up keeping 700 mil users, while Google+ could have 600 mil, or more.
Since PHP 5.4 there's a web server built-in:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php

Maybe you could rely on that, instead of aip :)
This was really fascinating. It just goes to show you that there is a whole lot more than just code with something like this. My gut tells me that a unix SQLServer would have been a the poor stepchild of the family if they had gone this route. That said, it would be very nice if MS made genuine, supported drivers for SQLServer on unix. I know about FreeTDS, but that just doesn't cut it for something mission critical.
That's how it's done, US.
Does this mean that BT will no longer provide NNTP access? I've always laughed at ISP's chasing pirates while giving access to the material themselves!
From the article: "Additionally, Apple and Google have tight control over which apps make it into their inventory. These factors result in a system that is not exactly an innovation breeding ground. The real innovation has already happened -- the creation of the marketplace itself."

Which shows exactly where the author goes wrong. The innovation isn't in the marketplace, it's in the platform - iOS or Android. Specifically, apps allow much richer user interfaces than what you can do on the web: geolocation, movement detectors, always-with-you, gesture support and so on. They also allow much greater control over things such as usage of resources, allowing a better user experience. Quite simply, from a programmer's perspective, web apps are a long way from providing the necessary tools to come even close to equaling those available on mobile platforms.

The fact that there is a marketplace where apps can be sold is probably one of the least innovative things about apps.

To paraphrase - "It's the platform, stupid!"
That was my first thought. Totally amateurish, but hey, why not.

$1 billion bet that the US blows up. $20 billion bet that $1 billion bet that the US blows up itself blows up, well, anything really. Pick five thousand things if necessary which go up, or down, or sideways if market sentiment shifts from "The US cannot possibly default" to "The US will almost certainly not default."

A few weeks later you sell your "US blows up" tickets for 80% of what you paid for them - or 8% of what you paid for them - and drown your sorrows at calling the implosion of the US incorrectly while counting your speculative gains on your own private island.

I think the word for this is "speculative attack."

Is there any credibility in credit rating? Those poisonous mortgage bonds have AAA as well... US having AAA rate is more about patriotism than anything else.
Just another example of Google trying to improve the world.

I would personally be a bit worried about the level of control this would mean giving up. But I just like to tinker. I know plenty of people for whom this is perfect.
Very, very excited about this and have been for some time, congratulations to the team on the release! For those that don't know it, Symfony is a very impressive framework that puts a lot more into "Doing Things Right" than most other PHP frameworks, and some of their components (such as Assetic) are amazing contributions to the PHP ecosystem in their own right.
Any serious file sharer in the UK wouldn't use BT if they could help it, they are known for appalling service, traffic shaping and bandwidth throttling. If you happen to be in UK, I'd recommend trying an ISP like bethere, there's no guarantee they cant be threatened with action, but they are definitely much more filesharer friendly, which is the way they've designed their service to be.

In regards to newzbin2, it's worth noting it's a TOR website. Can this actually be blocked? Here's a non-onionised link:

https://sc3njt2i2j4fvqa3.tor2web.org/

It's also worth noting that newsgroup filesharing, as backwards as the whole idea sounds, is in certain ways leaps and bounds better than bittorrent. I migrated from bittorrent, which I still occasionally use, to using a newsgroup provider called giganews. Yes it's a paid for service, but in this case the amount of value that you receive is huge.

For anyone with a spare five minutes who's interested in newsgroups, I suggest you look at what you can do with sickbeard, couch potato and a good newsgroup provider.

So when they say 'apps', they really mean 'mobile apps'. Is this yet another battle the techies have lost against popular media?

For heaven's sake, we are but a humble operating systems and office productivity company."
No ISPs are going to be pro-illegal filesharing, including BeThere. They might roll over to pressure from media companies more or less easily, but not because they actively are in favour of illegal activities.

BeThere are, however, a great ISP in terms of speed and latency, in my experience at least - so from that point of view, anyone who downloads a lot should definitely consider them (or one of a number of other good ISPs) over BT.
Your credit rating determines the cost of borrowing money - the AAA status is essential if you want to borrow money (i.e. issue bonds to) some of the biggest, most risk-averse funds in the world. If the US loses its AAA rating then you cannot sell bonds so easily and therefore it becomes harder to raise money or balance the books without politically-unpopular tax raises or service cuts.

Thank you for this, time to make some mistakes
The good news..that means a debt ceiling deal was reached last night and that also means that due to credit rating agencies saying that a long term debt deal would keep the AAA rating that the House plan deal probably got accepted..as far enough House votes and enough Senate votes as they do not have time to do two competing bills at once in both US Congress Houses..

Also, it could be relatively minor..say downgrade to AA from AAA pending how the rest plays out in 6 to 8 months.
It's undoubtly the country where you love to live. Since tax and other technicalities are irrelevant compared to YOU feeling good and not not having to worry about nothing else but software.

EDIT: Removed some useless stuff.
This does look awfully like CloudFlare. Some more competition in that space should be good for everyone because it seems like an idea whose time has come.

i am by no means at all knowledgeable in finance,
but do these credit ratings really have any value?

According to S&P

Spain has AA

Italy has A+

many others have A.

is this really a credit rating, or more about how much faith citizens have in their own country.
with all due respect, i find it difficult to believe that the US could have a AAA rating. of course, the earning potential of the US is huge, but its current standing with regards to debt is not so good.

or maybe i dont quite understand how the ratings work?

How is this only just happening? I live in Adelaide, Australia (1.2 million approx) with some of the worst public transport I've experienced in the developed world and we've had Google Maps with public transport integration for years.

Incidentally, there was a cool iPhone app called TubeMap that made travelling on the tube a breeze when I was there last which included service downtimes which are apparently quite common, worked fine offline and was pretty fully featured in all ways you could want. However, the Tube is only a small part of the public transport for greater London.
Google have strong statistics/reporting products in other areas and I can't see it being long until they add this into the mix for Page Speed (if they haven't already.)
It seems like, at the very least, Google wouldn't keep you on such a project indefinitely if you didn't enjoy it.

On the other hand, there are plenty of companies out there that would randomly assign you to an unglamorous project -- and make it your permanent job, to boot. I've been at some of those companies. They roll the proverbial dice when you first join, and whatever the outcome, that's your fixed-in-stone role. Such companies care more about needs to be filled than about the people they're hiring.
If you happen to be in UK, I'd recommend trying an ISP like bethere

While Be are a much better ISP, they do implement the IWF watchlist and so are technically capable of complying with a similar order, should one come along.
If you really care about this then I'd recommend one of the smaller ISPs, such as AAISP, who have said that they don't (and won't!) do any filtering.

Of course if everyone starts moving to ISPs like that then it's likely that the government will try to force the issue.

Or maybe someone was hedging against the risk of a default? I've you got a ton of money in securities that will lose a lot of value if the US gets downgraded, then it would make sense to hedge against that risk.
Maybe, though AiP gives us nice control of the process. And it also supports other modes than HTTP, like Mongrel2 and SCGI:

Arch Linux is the most "vanilla" distribution you'll ever find -- their philosophy is that the machines should download original packages directly from upstream and customize them as little as possible. I know quite a few KDE devs work on Arch. Btw, for the same reasons, installing Arch is not as easy as Ubuntu or SuSE; you'll have to dig in quite a few config files.

For A-level, most students I've taught want me to follow their school course, so I've mostly taught out of an array of textbooks of varying quality. On the whole, the standard A-level course books for EdExcel, AQA, OCR and the like are adequate, but only really as part of a taught course. If I cast my mind back, Bostock and Chandler was quite good, although I suspect it will be a bit retro by now with respect to syllabus changes - it was old when I was learning this stuff for the first time. That said, mathematics is one of the more stable subjects and the fundamentals don't change very much, so I'd definitely recommend looking at it. Obviously, if you're not looking for something to pass an exam with, classic books become a lot more appealing.

Just went back to XFCE4 after a month or so on KDE4.4 on Debian.
I go back to KDE every now and then, when I feel the need for desktop effects and pretty transparency and stuff like that. This time, I really tried to customize my desktop to be as productive as possible, and I almost succeeded.
The windows mozaic display from all desktop a-la-mac when the mouse reaches the top left corner was useful to switch from firefox to konsole. I really like gwenview, yakuake and konqueror for file browsing carry useful features.

On the other hand, I couldn't get my networking to work properly. Whether it's network-manager or the kde frontend that's clunky, I don't know, but it made it impossible to switch from a network to another without rebooting the machine.

It also took me DAYS to find how to deactivate this really annoying desktop switch when the mouse reaches the side of the screen. At some point, I was being very careful not to drag my mouse to the side. Terrible user experience.

KDE is full of options, everywhere, but in the end I felt like most of them are useless. The lack of separation between "basic" parameters and "super geek advanced that even the developers don't touch" ends up in big control panel with plenty of options, and you don't even know where to start looking. So you start Googling, which is usually not a good sign.

Being back to XFCE4 is indeed a relief. Like working out after months of junk food.
