I'd like to do that, but I'm afraid of how much time and effort it would take. I really just wrote Pump/Picasso to use at our new startup, Beagle (http://beagleapp.com). I was expecting roughly this kind of response from the Python community, but who knows, maybe someone will use it.
Kratom Resin Has Many Uses
Kratom 15x is a standardized powdered extract, which is dry and very fine in its appearance, similar to a high quality talc powder. It is so fine that it could be mixed into any drink or put into gel capsules easily. Kratom 15x is one of the strongest forms of Kratom and is active at about half a gram dosage. It is widely used in therapeutic doses as a painkiller, mood enhancer and to help former addicts recover from their addiction to opiates.

You take a break for some years come back and see who was your peer sometime back is now your boss. How would you feel? The feeling of underachievement especially when you know you were helpless to prevent that, hurts!

It would hurt me atleast. If I knew I would face a such situation I will rather take up some other profession.

What does "doing business in the US" mean exactly? If my servers are in Peru and someone from Texas signs up to use my webserver monitoring service, I am not exactly doing business in the US, am I? I understand if I ship something tangible to the US customers, but with digital goods or services I frankly cannot think of a situation that would reasonably qualify as in-the-US business. All those US customers come to me, not the other way around, so technically the business is being done in Peru.
If you read the article, this list of "protestors" is the list of IP addresses who hit PayPal with the most DDOS packets.
Maybe, I'm not so sure though. If you participate in a mob that went down to some local business to throw rocks through their window, should you expect to be let off easy because you just threw a pebble?

On balance I think the idea that DDoS is "ok" and should be tolerated is not a good road to travel down.

Cool site guys. When did you launch kondoot?
I stand corrected - I always assumed CD at least required you publicly announcing that you broke the law.

Yes, well. I always thought it was really dumb for cars to not accept audio input. I mean, why? but why? and most importantly: since when will we, users, let those machine makers dictate the way we have to use their tools?

My car is a cheap minivan, but I HAVE external audio input, and use it 100% of the time.

It is the same with iTune: why can't I delete audio files? I am a grown-up, please let me delete files I want to delete.

Letting other people control your environment drives me crasy. It is very strange to see so many devs like Resig using more and more Apple Inc products. We devs shouldn't we not being in full control of our tools? Dear Mr Resig, what is GNU/Linux for you? Why is it not in the landscape? jQuery is open, right? Don't you care being trapped in a closed garden? Do you agree with the fact that iPhone software must be developped on iX machines using iY IDE, plugged together with iZ cables, all from one manufacturer?
Too much storage in the short term, considering a 1.5TB drive has dropped like $50 in the last year alone. Why 320GB non-SSD for the OS? Seems like a lot of money for a home server. I spent a little more than that and built a work horse that I use for data crunching and running VMs to do my day to day development.

Oh come on downvoters. We're talking about $1300 for a glorified print and file server. Please tell me I'm not the only one that finds that surprising.
It depends what "compatible" means, though, doesn't it?

It's fairly well defined by JSRs 270 or 216, and Android isn't even close. For example, the GUI libraries are quite different.

If you include the Java bytecode-to-Dalvik compiler as part of the "system" it could be considered compatible.

I don't think the compiler runs on the phone, so it doesn't count.

Yay for security theater. I am glad someone feels safer.
This is actually a very important point, I work so hard currently because I know I will have to secure my family's financial future after I get married.

On the other hand, If I were to be a girl I would be a lot more relaxed in may approach because I know my earnings are not the primary source of income to my family. And husband is going to take care of it anyways.

None of this is news. People complain about Google's lack of support all the time; it is a well known issue.

Also, complaining about having to use POP or IMAP to pull out your email? Seriously? It's a standard, it lets you import them into any email program you want, and just giving you a compressed archive of everything would be a nightmare of compatibility if you wanted to do anything with it but read the messages in a text editor.
Gender parity is more significant for medicine as there are a great many patients who have trouble working with a doctor of a particular gender. It's not always same-gender pref either - I know of two women who prefer male gynaecologists because they're less rough when examining.

Given the importance of medicine to leading a happy life, it's important to get as much information out of patients as possible - so it's in the interest of the industry to make sure that the client-facing staff have plenty of both genders.

It's much less important in programming as users and programmers rarely interact. Was Firefox written mostly by men or by women? It doesn't matter to me as I don't interact with them in order to use the service Firefox offers.
What Every Domain Investor Needs to Know to Avoid a Legal Snafu
that icy box thing looks cool. I have been looking for something like that for a while, trying without luck to use some other non-backplane devices that haven't fit properly in the case, or have pieces broken off after very light use.

As for the other comments about environmental friendliness, well it's not that bad. Running old enterprise gear will more than likely use a lot of power. The processor and power supply in that build are a bit overkill, but I think it is overall ok. You could get a 45W version of the processor and I bet that power supply won't be using more than 10% of its capacity, so yes it might have efficiency issues. 80Plus certification only measures efficiency at certain loads, 20% being the lowest, so who knows how efficient that will be at 10%. But of course you could add a GPU in there, or run a few virtual machines. I still don't think Atom's are worth it for general computing, as the platform is pretty limited in terms of expansion (no PCI, seriously limited RAM).

I'm wondering what type of system all the naysayers would have in place that would properly balance the requirements of google, the law, the community, and the individual users - and how they would scale that to ten million+ users.

If you can describe it, design it, deploy it, and operate it - you might have the beginnings of a multi-billion dollar social network on your hands. Rather than rant at google/facebook for their inadequacies, go out and ship something that will truly demonstrate how wrong Google/Facebook are.

I found this site to have a good collection of well designed sites.

The main area to work on is typography and navigation layout.
If you have nice typography and an easy to use navigation, you'll be 90% of the way there.

Another tip is to never use #000 for your text. Try using a dark grey.

You genuinely don't understand how he could possibly fund his trip with bitcoins?

Or are you exaggerating to make a point?

I think it is conceivable that he could fund his trip by bartering for the majority of his food and/or lodging using bitcoins. That is, it is a possibility that there are people in the United States who will accept bitcoins in return for providing food and/or lodging. And presumably as a "digital currency guru" he would be able to identify those people and effect payment with the agreed upon medium.

He even has a fallback option of cash if there is something he cannot acquire through the use of this bitcoins.

Women were kept out period until relatively recently. I don't agree with reducing the physical exam if it puts lives in danger. I don't think we should block women from being able to even apply simply because we think the mass majority couldn't pass the test. At the same time we shouldn't create physical exams that have nothing to do with the job, knowing it excludes most women.
I don't get it... what's new? Is this even new?
This is why I gladly pay for my online subscription to the Financial Times. It's a high quality newspaper and the website is actually relatively pleasant to deal with.
I wouldn't think them that dumb.

However, -even if- you had completely rational and competent politicians (Canadian, but really the same apply to us as well), the 'politics' we see is a meta-game run on top of the actual system of running a country. Sometimes the meta-game and the actual system happen to align, and everything works out more or less ok. Other times, they're retardedly out of whack, resulting in tears and frustrations for all. And due to how incentives are set up, any rational politician will play that meta-game (less they not get elected, and loose further opportunity to affect change).

The purpose of letter writing is to attempt to temporarily re-align the rules of the meta-game. The author's idea of a website just to vote on a plan is at its very essence trying to achieve the same goal, to realign interests and rules. But it runs into the fact that your government (and our government) doesn't work that way. There is no system or precedence in place for a citizen direct vote 'default' law. Especially with such short notice.

In other words, its the same type of wishful thinking that drives developers/engineers nuts when 'dumb marketers' just assume that computers can do X Y and Z while making your ice cream and watching your kids.
While these things are annoying, the death of newspapers is down to economics.

Most folk don't realise that the cover price of a newspaper doesn't even pay for the whole cost of printing.

The problem with this comparison is that an average meal doesn't take upwards of 20 hours to prepare. For someone working full-time, completing a game can be a large time investment.

Lacking any other information, I would look into this explanation first - I have seen many experiments on cores with SMT contexts where the performance plateaus at the total number of cores, not SMT contexts.
Ianb, may I inquire as to what is the difference you mean between servlets and cgi. A cgi written in perl for example, was essentially a perl servlet, I think. How is the CGI model fundamentally different from a servlet model, where your application code is given a request as a parameter to a function, and must return a response?
"Cities routinely survive even nuclear bombs" - I pretty much stopped reading at that point. They might have survived them, but really not routinely.

Seems the web is slowly turning into a giant tabloid. Or at least USA Today.

Good point. Where would you physically be based, Peru? What would happen if you entered the US one day? If the US has no IP arrangement with Peru, how can troll come after you? How are they going to block your site? The US government has to censor you. Is the onus on you to stop signups from the US? How can they prove you have US customers?

Reminds me of online gambling situations.

In a severe case, registering the business in another country and accepting payments in bitcoin would prevent a payments injunction from US customers. Troll would have to physically track down a patent-infringer and arrest or extradite. The entire exercise becomes a cost-benefit analysis.

Note that I said they "effectively" cover features rather than implementations. Technically they should cover implementations, but the reality is that they actually cover features, because the patents are so broad that they effectively cover solving a given problem using a computer. That wasn't the intention of the patent system, but that's the effect.

Also, I believe you're incorrect about Amazon's patent: it basically does cover any method whereby the user only has to use one click to buy something, regardless of the implementation. It was challenged and then amended to narrow it down to requiring a shopping cart, it appears, but the patent has nothing to do with cookies or databases or anything like that: anyone who implements the same feature in their application could run afoul of the patent, regardless of how they implement it under the hood.

IFrame Injection Tutorials
It's 1-200Gb of live data, but about 1.5-2Tb of data that's currently sitting offline on DVDs which are a pain to access. I generate a fair amount of video data when training. Plus, as I said, future-proofing. I'm old enough to remember the "Who'd need more than 640k of RAM?" comment from the first time around...
Is that even the rate of putting something on the F5 key on the webpage and letting the browser refresh?
I know of an example. In East Texas, a local "Who's who" type of magazine completely dominates the slowly failing local newspaper, and it only runs once a month. All the content is unique to the region, and the people here love it (enabling the magazine to charge a ton for advertising)

Second, I think this boat may be larger than you believe it to be. According to Mozilla[1], there's nearly 2 million potential browsers out there with some form of JavaScript filtering on by default. This is calculated from the number of browsers checking for updates, not from the download statistics (88 million at current writing). While other browsers[2][3] do not boast this large of a user base they are continuing to grow (3000 a week for chrome).

the point isn't the amount, the point is participation. Such a low intensive, no damage, DoS is akin to a peaceful protest in front of the company store, only virtual.

Any real protest in front of a real store is in turn also kind of DoS - thinking about that i wonder whether real protests can be more successfully prosecuted on such a grounds, especially that stretching DoS to an "act of domestic terrorism" is very acceptable today.

This might be a good example of where karma can be useful.

Karma for listeners: Highly upvoted accounts can take precedence to talking to newcomers; they've proved that they can listen well, giving new callers a good experience. This will encouraging them to come back or even to sign up as a listener by following the good listener's example.

Karma for callers: If they ever call again, they will be able to talk with newer listeners. Perhaps you need to have enough karma to even be a listener. Why? Listening is a more important quality for the site to be successful. Starting out as a caller lets allows you to follow the top listeners by example, while keeping the trolls away from other callers.

Also, a low enough score can block the account for an X amount of time. Where X increases each time they get blocked. And I think more karma = more weight on your vote could help with regulation. Mostly because voting will take place much less often than on other social sites.

This is an awesome idea though, I hope it catches on.

Magic 8-ball says: "it is likely". Typically, new technologies are at first available only to the rich and powerful, but eventually they become cheaper and more widely available. Consider cell phones, televisions, and the internet. Today, the poorest person with an internet connection has access to information on a scale which far surpasses anything available to even the kings of old.
