In effect they want to show off for their friends.

And perhaps also position themselves defensively with regards to other men. It seems to me that listing a name with no hyperlink is something you could do to "fake" having a boyfriend, and thus might not be a very effective deterrent to unwanted attentions from another man. An actual FB account linked in that section is much stronger proof that a woman is unavailable, so please don't bother me.

It seems to me that if you have some significant portion of your social life online, indicators of that sort can be rather important. I know that when I was still married and could publicly portray myself as a "woman who has been married with children for a very long time" I did not have to deal with certain kinds of things in online social settings. I joined one forum after it was clear to me and my spouse that we would divorce but at a time when our status was still publicly presented as "married, with children". When I was at a point where I was ready to publicly admit I was facing a divorce, I suddenly had online social situations to deal with that simply did not crop up when everyone figured I was about as off limits as a woman could get. So my personal situation had not really changed (as I was still "facing a divorce" and not really available) but there were very noticeable social consequences when how I presented my social status changed.

I'm not on Facebook. I deleted my account earlier this year and never used it that much and I think everyone I knew on Facebook was probably either female or only interested in me due to my medical diagnosis. So I never dealt with that aspect of Facebook. But I know that I do deal with the need to signal my "currently unavailable" status in other online social settings. It's simply far easier and more effective to just make it generally publicly known that I am not currently available than to try to deal individually with every potential inquiry.

So my guess would be they are not simply showing you off to their friends. It probably serves a broader purpose similar to an engagement ring or other offline relationship status signal, and that means it may also have implications for things like what types of social invitations that single women friends might extend to them (ie "I'm no longer available for girls night out, where we go out drinking/partying" or something). Whether there is a hyperlink vs just a name listed may have hard to quantify but real impact on how others interact with them.
That is exactly why I ended up adopting the concept (straight out of Atlas Shrugged) that I don't own anybody else anything except if we have made a previous agreement that I do. I don't feel I have to do charity.

So no, you don't have any ethical obligation what so ever toward somebody else. Even if eating out of your garbage could save their life you would be well within your rights to decline.

But really once you stop feeling like it is your responsibility to do something for anybody, no matter how great their need or how trivial it is for you, you feel so much better -- and you can still help somebody if you want to. You just have no obligation.
Check out Context.io, they have a unique and interesting take on "incoming email". Basically, they turn mailboxes into databases.
yes, that's the report that went out yesterday. The context of the discussion was "at-risk" in the spirit of "have it but don't know it" or "don't know what to do about it"; not in the spirit of "have it". You can go over to the early release of the data here: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm60e1129a1.htm?s_c... ... the people that get the least counseling, don't think they are at risk, etc, are those two groups.

They are the ones that are most likely to have it and not know it or treat it and are also the ones to face the largest stigma in dealing with the issue.

That's the context; it was the time window after infection but before high confidence of the results in the mouth swab test, which is the standard method used in such circumstances (and also the cheapest).

Anyway, that is what I meant by it, and that's the report I was referring to when I said CDC. I didn't mean to say that gay people don't get it.
Surely whatever this is tracking is covered under the contracts with the carriers. Someone must have read them...

Thats pretty awesome. Regex's the tool (vs. the concept of "regular expressions" that comes up in interpreters/compilers) is a supremely useful utility when used sparingly, and surprisingly portable between languages.

Regex's are in a (not-)sweet spot of practical languages that aren't taught in school. For all the hype of ruby, et al. being able to make "DSL's", its surprising how mystical an _actual_ DSL, that is portable between languages (through PCRE) is held.

Unfortunately, like many other tools, can be used sparingly after a lot of practice writing crappy regex's, and having to eat your own dogfood (so you learn its not an "ultra-fast parser", or that you shouldn't chain substitutions on user-generated input).

A rote tutorial -- in the style of LPTHW -- is excellent.
No CarrierIQ on Google flagship devices
Anti-Bullying Video - Parents will appreciate this
Well, in the interest of keeping the signal/noise ratio high, here's my view on things.

When someone uses a mobile phone, they generally have the assumption that, unless they consent to it, third parties do not have access to their data (the government being a different story I won't go into). When I use GMail, I consent to Google reading my email via automated algorithms, and targeting ads at me through that. If I have anything important, I use email that I host myself or, if it's really top-secret, an anonymous throwaway account through Tor.

However, from what this video demonstrates, CarrierIQ is violating the basic principle of this by capturing and potentially logging your personal data without your knowledge or consent. Furthermore, it's violating the assumption that most people have that their passwords and such are not captured by applications other than the ones that they are entered into.

Now, we don't know for sure whether all this information is sent off to their servers and logged or not. However, in my personal opinion, the fact that this information is CAPTURED AT ALL is a serious problem, when combined with the fact that you are not informed of this!

I imagine there might be other software/consulting companies in the business of stealthily collecting GB and PB's of personal data about consumers using wired and mobile networks who are thinking "Am I next?"

And I imagine some of their employees' minds might now be filling with thoughts about how to justify what they do, or to discount the need for anyone to make a big deal about what they do.

Will consumers care about what's booting when they turn on their phone, or what connections their phones are making? This will be very interesting.
BSE/Mad Cow fears. Because of the BSE outbreak in the UK in the 80s (and the various smaller outbreaks later) the US authorities were scared shitless at some point. So if you've lived 5 or more years in Europe you're banned from donating blood forever.

Not sure I understand the logic... Quarantine for a set period I can understand, but banning for life makes little sense. After all there are many blood donors in all European countries and we don't all end up with mad cow disease when we receive blood transplants.

For comparison: After having lived in the US you are banned from giving blood in Denmark for 1 _month_

Ok, both of you are wrong. It's got nothing to do with EOL, it's the parse order of precedence of | which makes it parse as (or (^[0-9]+) ([A-Z]+$)), but I was reading it as ($ (^ (or ([0-9]+) ([A-Z]+)))). Now I know why I should change it rather than I just suck.

import scala.collection.JavaConverters._

Scala doesn't provide a built in for your specific case but

import scala.collection.breakOut

and you can convert mutable Java hash map to immutable scala map

b = a.asScala.map(p => p)(breakOut)

where b : scala.collection.immutable.HashMap[java.lang.String,Int]

and a : java.util.HashMap[String,Int]

Not too bad at all. Moreover, why would you want to convert a Java map to Scala if you specifically used the Java map to improve performance? How is this any worse than coding in Java itself?
What happened is basically a 650 twin or 600 single makes half the power of a 600 four (and with a more friendly torque curve), so they are offered up as a compromise- 'It's not as tame as a EX250, but at least it's not a ZX6R'.

As a bonus, they are honestly very solid balanced bikes you could ride your whole riding career. The EX250's have notable shortcomings if you will only own one bike, for many years. I certainly advise starting on a smaller bike and upgrading, but many people obstinately refuse that course. I'm not sure if they are afraid of losing money in the process, or if it's an ego thing.

Assuming you programmed your app correctly, you only need to override the function shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation to return true for the supported orientations. If you use portrait orientation, you can get portrait upsidedown for "free", as it rotates the view for you. It's the same with LandscapeLeft and LandscapeRight. The only complications come when you want to support both portrait and landscape orientations, which isn't required anyway.
It could, if someone were willing to build it.

The harder part would be getting developers on board to write games that actually take advantage of it. Most current Android games are heavily tied to touchscreen input, and thus wouldn't map well to the traditional console experience. On the plus side, developers who have already sunk costs into developing Android paths for their rendering engines would at least get a lot of code reuse out of that.

FWIW, Android on x86 isn't wholly new even in the retail device space, the current Google TV devices like Sony's $200 Bluray player with Google TV, their full TV device and the Logitech Revue are all sporting Atom chips (so... less powerful than an i5 but still x86) and other than the Logitech Revue these devices are all up to Honeycomb now.

Google TV 2.0 on those Sony devices is actually quite nice and will likely get even better with ICS+. I hope they stick with it and get past all the bad press that came out of 1.0 and Logitech's vocally negative experiences with it.

In the setup described here (it has changed a bit in the 6 months since this article was written) Varnish was being used primarily for caching and sending needed requests to the single application server. Calling it a load balancer at that point was a simple misnomer.

Today we still have Varnish at the front of our stack for caching and also use it as a load balancer for a handful of application servers.
Neither drivebyacct2 nor the video claims the data is stored. Carrier IQ is collecting keystroke data, which you said they were not doing. The video clearly shows, when the user presses the "1" key:

com.htc.android.iqagent.action.ui01
actionUI01:49,0

where 49 is the keycode for the "1" key. This means the Carrier IQ code is called to collect and process this event information.

We just don't know what the code is doing with this information. Perhaps it is simply updating statistics and discarding it. So I guess your argument with drivebyacct2 is on the definition of "collecting"...

That's what I was thinking too when I asked the question. With all the commodity hardware - controllers etc - around these days surely someone with motivation could build a ps3 equivalent around android, x86 and AMD/NVIDIA chips. Build their own app store etc for their games (or not, they would just kill any phone :P).

It's a really exciting and intriguing concept to me - disrupting console gaming.

Outside political influences I would see ARM SoCs as a much better fit in this space. While power consumption isn't an issue directly it is an issue indirectly in the form of heat and coincidentally cooling. A device without a fan is desirable from a noise perspective in a living-room, a cost stand point and a "sex appeal" standpoint (pretty case, tiny or no power brick, etc).

ARM systems can also be generally cheaper to implement as with many SoCs there is no "chip set" just the single SoC and a couple auxiliary parts. Few parts and fewer traces generally results in a cheaper product.

I would _think_ but certainly don't know that maintaining a single set of optimized drivers would also be a win. As many of the ARM SoCs share sub-components with the SoCs used already on android. Thus there is a cost win in being able to use existing drivers. On the other hand anyone that has used linux on Intel GMA video knows there are some "issues" with those devices and since android sits on linux, I would assume they had to do a bunch of custom work to get it working well (or maybe its just an X11 thing).
So to summarise his argument: google still requires happy end-users or the advertisers will be unhappy.

In other words, advertisers come first. Since advertisers don't have the same priorities as end-users, I don't find the argument very compelling.

Who cares! It's time for a free/opensource firmware and operating system you can flash into the ROM of any and all phones. The phone manufacturers, the software makers and the carriers have proven hostile to consumers, there's no reason for them to be allowed to control things any more.
For some reason, nobody complains when they have to fill out the paper equivalent of these web forms. I did, and happily indicated my race too, in a whole room full of people at my company, and nobody was complaining. I think that we're used to filling out much shorter forms on the web, so seeing a long form with a lot of fields there is disconcerting, but the quantity of information they're asking for is on par with most other paper forms I've filled out.

Also, we don't live in a world where DNA sequencing is free. Seems like common sense to fill out your race.

In other words, advertisers come first.

Your summary is incorrect. Advertisers and users are mutually dependent. If the advertisers priorities clash with the users priorities, it is not at all obvious that the advertisers will win. The fact that Google mail doesn't have flashy colored intrusive ads is testament to that.
