I'm just pointing out differences. Hardly a big deal, it's just clear that Mozilla is still transitioning to thinking less about distinct versions.

A couple of examples of where Mozilla does make the version number clear:

* The download link

* The downloaded file (Firefox Setup 6.0.exe)

* The new version page that automatically comes up the first time you run the new version (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/6.0/whatsnew/)

* And, most annoyingly, the add-on version check and resulting incompatibilities.

That last one actually is kind of a pain, since, as other people have mentioned, not all add-on authors have updated their add-ons to be compatible with 6.0, despite that being a single character change to an XML file for 98% of them. (Fortunately, addons.mozilla.org does this for authors, so it is only the ones hosting the add-ons themselves that are a problem.)
Thanks, that hits a soft spot in me. Like many programmers, I've wanted to learn about web design for a long time. Here, I really did the best I could, and am really happy to hear that it's not eye-achingly disgusting (to some).
Do you think you should limit how much time someone can volunteer on a campaign? What about famous people expressing their opinion? These have the same effect as someone donating money. They just favor different groups of people.

It's not bribery to try and support someone whose views you agree with, or to have experts available to answer questions on complicated issues. Remember, campaign contributions don't give them a house, or boats, or planes, etc.
Warren Buffett's argument was "anecdotally the über-rich wouldn't mind paying more and (demonstratively?) won't invest in US markets in markedly different ways". That other sundry taxes are out there doesn't seem like it matters in that context.

++. When I was walking this road, I answered that question with "I'll use the user-agent instead!" Then I checked that assumption, and the Internet told me that could vary between requests as well. That was the key insight (you can't trust anything) that put me on the road to a much more standard system. (But probably still insecure, since I was younger and working for someone with NIH syndrome.)

It's probably more common to start a service as root, bind to a port, and drop privileges.
Hmm, that could be a possibility. Thanks for the idea.
This thought is not mine, but I cannot recall the source: NoSQL is a bad name; it should be NotSQL. As a result it is a very large umbrella. When one sees NoSQL it is a safe assumption to think MongoDB. But you could also think DB4O (I like this much more, in an abstract way). So you can go about learning any of these technologies since you find an instance of NotSQL. To learn NoSQL, you are really still able to learn this. You are learning a philosophy rather than a technology.

I'm not sure why krakensden is being downvoted for their comment.

This is a continual gripe in the Android developer/hacker community. Has all of the Android 3.0/3.2 source finally been posted to android.git.kernel.org? Ice Cream Sandwich?
It's not his son though, it's a grown man that he legally adopted simply to gain control of some land rights and which he promptly signed over to help build a railway.

Google's more likely to throw Motorola under the bus to advance Android than vice versa. Having Android on 80% of all devices is worth it.
These guys have a fantastic blog. Always something fun and exciting. I don't know them.
Yeah, I've witnessed the first one succeed wonderfully, and it's exactly what you're talking about - they built exactly what they envisioned because they were frustrated with existing solutions, and the customers came in droves.
Not sure actually - and quick searching only turns up sparse info around the 700 MHz and 2.5-2.6 GHz auctions, along with a few bits about LTE and WiMax. Maybe there are some long-term licenses or other agreements that could prove useful?

I guess things are unclear at best, but there is enough content to keep me curious about the possibilities.
It's not just almost eerie. It really is, and makes me think of zombies walking. PR zombies.

Seriously, though, I imagine that there are pretty intense discussions taking place within a number of handset manufacturers right now about how to manage their risk:

* treat (but how? it's a Gulliver situation even for someone like Samsung)

* transfer (almost impossible to transfer the risks in this situation unless you join the MS camp)

* accept (and have your shareholders crucify you if you made the wrong call)

A very brave move from Google (in the Yes, Minister sense)
NASDAQ former executive jailed after using wife’s web login for insider trading
Can you learn to do unpleasant stuff? What does that mean - that your will is broken? Unpleasant stuff is after all unpleasant.

I managed to see some positive things, for example when I do the dishes I enjoy the clean state of the room afterwards. Or in general I try to see cleaning as a workout. But you can only trick the mind to a degree...

If procrastination really is there to prevent us from doing stupid tasks, maybe it is not desirable to learn to do unpleasant stuff. It would mean circumventing that protection.

Thinking about it, maybe the way to learn doing unpleasant stuff is really to look at the bigger picture and why it makes sense to do the unpleasant stuff. If it doesn't make sense, not doing it might be the right decision.
Everyone is referring to the ice cream sandwich specific code which is not currently available.

You have surrendered to the ideology of laziness. But there is no such thing.

The energy enters you, you transform it and then you use the transformed energy to suit your needs.

In this chain, something is broken. People tend simplify this by calling it laziness when they need to put a tag on someone they don't like.

But the real reason for you inability to accomplish tasks at hand is that something in the chain I have described earlier - is broken.

You either struggle to get enough energy (food, sleep, emotion), or you struggle to transform it (usually abundance of low-quality energy sources and inability to improve their quality)

The only way out of this state (which is not permanent) is to revise your routines and methods. Improve and rationalize everything you do, so it won't call to those 'woeful' associations when you start working on something.
I've seen bots try thousands of passwords for a single account on services that I've had access to the logs for. I can't name any instance when a password has been found by brute force rather than human engineering (or by bypassing authentication completely due to exploiting a software bug), and I've not seen it often, but there is code out there actively trying.

Tools like fail2ban help a little here, but can't do much against a large botnet. Adding artificial delays into the authentication process can slow down a brute-force attempt without inconveniencing real users at all, but that botnet has a lot of time on its hands. It might not happen often, but attempts are made often enough (i.e. more than never) for keeping strong passwords to be worthwhile.
"My lack of an MBA degree made building a company from scratch harder for me than for others."

Are all the entrepreneurs you've talked with the kind of people who made something like Wufoo or HARO? Because if you were trying to do a rollup or start a wireless company then I think having an MBA would make a pretty big difference.

Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5bn
Motorola recently bought Symbol is this included in the acquisition? If so this is huge and I wonder what is Google's plans for the rest of the company outside of the phone division.
But did you ever really only want to play video games or relax in other ways, or did you sometimes really want to do "real" things? I think your statement becomes tricky quickly once you start thinking about what it means to really want something (unless you define it as things you can do without procrastinating).

Attributing one's own procrastination to mere laziness could also be a way to avoid facing the real issues.
Usually I procrastinate when I don't have a clear goal or not sure about it.
Gattaca explores this concept nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca I think we will get there someday. Then after that, those who can it afford will flip on all the intelligence genes for their children. That world will be a much more "interesting" place then one where you know you were "born stupid". You will be less intelligent because you were too porn, or your parents didn't believe in genetic modification.
I didn't even consider mobile access, which of course these days should be one of the first things considered.

You've given me a lot to think about, thank you very much for taking the time to respond.

I'm still convinced I can turn this into a marketable product, but the challenges will be bigger than I first thought and it definitely will not be for everyone.

Maybe I should approach it more of being a collaboration platform that can use email as a form of initial discovery for participants rather than as an enhanced email platform. Then I could also expand it to include other delivery methods as well. Want to collaborate with someone on Twitter and don't know their email, send it to them via Twitter.

Thanks!
Pay. Now.
You don't actually think the CEOs said those things, do you? Google's PR people would have written to them saying "can we quote you as saying X?", and they would have written back saying either "sure, that sounds fine" or "no, use this quote instead: ...".
How is Google leading that charge exactly? From what I can tell they've been drug kicking and screaming into this mess. It simply says that they have to come up with a way to defend against the patent mess that the Apple consortium has threatened them with.

Groupon suppresses negative feedback about businesses
I saw this deal today: http://www.groupon.com/deals/automotive-services-of-boston-1

and was struck that the business was only rated 3 stars on yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/automotive-services-of-boston-waltham

Helpfully, Groupon shows snippets from the reviews:

"Upon completion, the cars looked fantastic inside and out. Joe and his staff are friendly and professional"

"The coffee stains that I thought would be a permanent fixture are gone."

But, these reviews are clearly cherry-picked -- a third of the reviews are one star and are customer service horror stories.

So I decided to post this on the comments page for the deal: http://www.groupon.com/deals/automotive-services-of-boston-1/posts

After carefully composing and submitting a message, I was given a notice that

"Thanks! Your post will be reviewed before it is published."

It was never published.

It'd be one thing if this was a 4.5 star establishment with a few grumbles, but Groupon is being pretty sketchy here.

You can use type-conversion APIs with MessagePack if you use C++, Java or C#. It converts deserialized objects (=dynamically-typed) into statically-typed objects using templates (C++) or reflection + dynamic code generation (Java and C#). You don't have to write boring type-checking codes.

Note that this is a characteristic of the implementation, not of the data format.
Some libraries for JSON like JSONIC (Java) provides these APIs.

I like the visualization. Reminds me of Hans Rosling. Keep up the good work. MAybe this kind of visualization can be applied to other areas.
While Google stated in its blog post this morning that it plans to run Motorola as a separate business, honor existing partner agreements and avoid favoritism at all costs, this language far more about anti-trust scrutiny than future plans. “Google sees that Apple has gotten bigger than Exxon as a vertically integrated company going after the top of the smartphone and tablet market. With a Motorola purchase, they can now do some really interesting things, including subsidizing the cost of high end Android phones way, way down. No partner wants to be the one chasing the scraps of the low end mass market.”

I never understood this notion that the "fair value" of a company is somehow tied to anything but the price of its stock. If the fact that a stock used to be worth more than it is now means that it's somehow under priced then you'd have an easy arbitrage strategy on your hands. Google paid a 63% markup even though this author spins it as though they paid only 10% above some "true value".

I don't get it about the patent protection thing. If Apple can sue Motorola today despite Motorola's 17,000 patents, how could Google get any protection with the same 17,000 patents?
Illumos != Solaris, unless you'd like Oracle to beat you with a stick for trademark infringement.

I suppose they could refer to it in technical documents as "the OpenSolaris kernel", but by that same logic, an OS using the DragonFly BSD kernel should say it's using "the FreeBSD kernel".
Gerald Sussman: The Legacy of Computer Science
I'll assume you're trolling but the relatively inelastic nature of fix costs like room and board, food, entertainment etc. is part of the reasons for promoting a progressive tax system. Those who have made fortunes here in the us are likely those who have benefited from federal and state oversight and infrastructure, which is an additional justification behind taxing the wealthier members of society at a progressive rate.

For the anecdotal insight on this: paying about 20k a year in federal taxes with my current annual salary is nothing compared to the impact of the 5k or so a year in taxes I paid when I was a poor waiter/college student in terms of its impact on my budget. At this point I could easily pay out an extra 10 or 20k with out severely impacting my quality of life or rate of savings; corollary, a few extra thousand back when I wasn't making all that much money would have been the difference between sleeping on an air mattress versus a real bed, or having enough good (as in nutritionally worth while) food to eat.
I assume you say "mostly made up" in the derogatory sense - how come? I'm basically okay with the spirit of what HIPAA is trying to accomplish, which is not sharing my medical information with anyone I don't explicitly authorize, accidentally or otherwise.
Google's been withholding source code for Android lately. If they decide not to give access to the Android Marketplace, Google Maps etc to an OEM for any reason, the OEM is as good as finished, since forking the OS is a big deal.

While patents are a thorn on the side, they do not threaten the bread and butter of OEMs like even just delaying the release of source code(that the new Moto division already has from a long time prior) does.
There are cheap cars with low mileage, expensive cars with low mileage, expensive cars with high mileage, and cheap cars with high mileage, and everything in between. Unless the cheapest car also has the lowest mileage, and the most expensive car also has the highest mileage, there is no "best" or "worst" in this classification.

There is only a tradeoff between inputs, the two primary ones shown here are mileage and price, with age overlaid by color/dot size.

2D data requires visualization and human interpretation - There is no algorithm in place here. A list only works on 1 dimensional data (and can be parsed trivially with a simple sort algorithm). 3D and higher dimension data requires more complex visualization and more effort to parse.

A visualization allowing the user to make good decisions based on several inputs is a great place to find 'the money'.
I think that Google's interpretation of "Don't be evil" is consistent with money making. They do it because they believe that in the long run, they will be more valuable if they are not "evil". Doing what is morally objectionable may lead to short term gains, but has a high maintenance cost. Not being evil is like having a clean sustainable system design; there is no need for kludges to hide the bad parts.
Is it only me that think's this guy's a nutter that gets by by saying whatever Apple fans want to hear? Here's some of his startlingly wrong predictions about the smartphone market from last year:

http://www.asymco.com/2010/11/03/what-do-you-have-to-believe...

His key arguments where that:

* Android wouldn't grow faster than the average of RIM, Nokia, HP and Apple.

* Nokia wouldn't dump Symbian&Meego for someone else's OS.

* Android wouldn't do a great deal better than Windows Mobile

* Android vendors wouldn't be profitable

So not very good really, in fact a total blowout. Maybe he knows stuff about Apple, to be honest I think he's just like a sports fan during a season when his team is playing well. His elaborate theories of why they are succeeding don't seem to mesh with reality much, except in that Apple is doing very well, and I'm not sure he cares if they do or not.

Huh? If LIFE from 1955 counts as reading something on the internet, then so does http://www.librarius.com/cantales/knigttl1.htm. (Also, please don't do the memester thing here. The natives don't like it.)
You're probably right. Motorola's own phones do not use a Motorola designed radio and haven't for many years.
The token would either have to work with a single-sign-on authority that would authenticate you to other parties (like OpenID, but hopefully easier to use), or it would contain multiple "authentication slots" for the parties that issue credentials. Both things already exist today, although I don't think they are very widely deployed. But certainly companies that deploy something like the RSA tokens have a company-wide single sign in working with them, and there is no reason for that to stay within one company. Both solutions are technically very different from a password manager.

As a bonus, SQL cares about data reliability.

Not that all of "NoSQL" doesn't, but two major "NoSQL" databases, Redis and MongoDB, both seem to care more about performance than durability.
Not just that, but getting a deep understanding of how the RDBMS (or NoSQL solutions, for that matter) implements the database is important as well is very important. It requires a low level understanding of how the implementations write things to disk, perform indexing, structure data in memory, and their characteristics when distributed to make truly informed, non-cargo-cult decisions about database technologies. Otherwise you're just shooting in the dark.
It doesn't really change it. One in 6 is close to saying one person in every household, and so intuitively it negates the notion that intellect sufficient to achieve at the highest levels is scarce.

When you want to do many small real time operations against your data. The model fits well with most web sites (the unit of work for a given request tends to be quite small). Loggin also comes to mind as does some basic geospatial work. I think for most cases it does what a RDBMS can do but with less friction (you'll still use an ORM/ActiveRecord, but it'll be a much more lightweight).

Why don't you check out mongly.com/tutorial/index and get a quick feel for it?
I'm wondering about this too. For almost everything i work on, the data being in the correct format, written to disk, and stored reliably is more important than the speed or other advantages of Mongo.
MySQL cares about data reliability? Maybe if you spend much time agonizing over the configuration and set it to strict mode.
Motorola already has that with Motoblur.
This project is certainly not using Solaris which is now an Oracle product (and trademark) and not open source. It is based on Illumos (which originally came from an OpenSolaris kernel as you said) but my understanding is that OpenSolaris as a project is dead. I don't think it's hiding something to name-check Illumos instead of OpenSolaris.
