Love this quote from the piece "Many of the words are in fact obscene". How can a word be obscene?

A word might be offensive in a given context but obscene? This piece is a daft as the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority.

Naturally "The Speed of Light" is the speed at which photons move, photons are light. But the stipulation being, what if there is some other constant "x", and it's really e = m * x, and c =~ x? (When I say "c =~ x" I mean in a similar way to how c(air) =~ c(vacuum)) Do we know that cannot be the case?

Alternatively, what if the speed of light in a vacuum is not actually the true full speed of light? What if something else is acting on the photons that we haven't thought about, such as gravity or charge?

Funny you should say that, Jon Favreau has said that Elon Musk was the basis for much of the portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron man films.

(He also has a cameo in Iron Man 2, and the SpaceX lab was used as a set).

>There is absolutely no incentive to lower costs or improve efficiencies.

This is almost never true with cost-plus contracts. There are normally all sorts of incentives and written into the contract. For example, bonuses might be paid if particular milestones are achieved ahead of schedule, or if certain costs come in below estimates. Also, there are usually limits on reimbursement (typically at the level of components rather than the entire project).

If used properly, these incentives and restrictions make it in the contractor's best interest to control costs. I've never seen them used perfectly, but they're often used reasonably well. I've also seen incentives that were designed so poorly that the contractor just ignored them because they weren't worth the effort to try and earn.

I think the main problem is that cost-plus pricing is often used in circumstances where it is not appropriate. Cost-plus should generally be used only for high-risk projects.
Jobs had a lot of uncertainty about what NeXT should build: very interesting part is around 15:52 where he says it isn't his job. He basically says that someone has to define it. It seems that he was just telling people to figure it out themselves and not providing much leadership. Would have been fascinating to see how it was resolved and Jobs's role: how much input comes from him versus his role as a facilitator.

11 Amazing Things NASA's Huge Mars Rover Can Do
You're expecting a relatively new Communist government, formed only about half a century ago and currently governs 1.3 billion people, to change its core philosophies overnight. It's not so easy. I don't support this stuff, but I recognize that it's not easy. I bet you it's harder than changing a country's dependence on oil as an energy source (assuming that viable alternatives are available). You have to change the world's largest population's philosophies, governing structure and infrastructure, expectations, etc.

No, unfortunately. :-( One of my 2012 projects is to build us a system that can keep track of all this stuff so I can publicly provide real data on what we see instead of winging it.

Web-wise, there seems to be two primary sources of infection: malicious ads on legitimate websites, and poisoned search results. (Compromised websites were all set to be a strong third source, but Wordpress cleaned up its act and we haven't seen as much of that this year.)

AB+ takes care of the ads, which seems to be the biggest source of infections. Chrome seems to be pretty resilient to direct attacks against the browser so far, if statements from people at CanSecWest are anything to go by. (With at least one known exception [1].)

We make guesses about the source of the infection based on the type of infection, what we find in which temp folders, and the client's browsing history -- if they're OK with us looking into that.

edit: I should explain that we've seen the same results from Firefox w/ AB+.

You might want to try django-mediagenerator for Pyjamas integration. We already have a pyjs filter. See [1] for an example of how to use pyjs with mediagenerator.

You should be prepared for lots of subtle pyjs bugs, though. The translation isn't perfect. One problem is that the Pyjamas team is replicating GWT, so they only need a small subset of Python's features. They also don't use more advanced features for performance reasons. This means that many code paths are practically untested.

The Telegraph newspaper in the UK is a slightly less extreme version of the Daily Mail, but still quite mad. It's a common meme in the right wing UK media & populace that the EU is crazy and brings in lots of crazy silly rules and bans sensible things. This is mostly not the case, and is usually either exadurated or blatantly false.

A UK right wing newspaper saying that the EU does something silly is about as common as a right wing american politician saying that some terrorists are muslim.

The implication is that the communication is not open, but propaganda. This is almost certainly the case and even if it isn't at this second it will be. How can we assume the people "dispelling rumors" even know the truth?
I've had this exact idea pitched to me twice as well, and once but phrased around group outings.

Saturn 5 is lost technology. The build was split up over a bunch of different sub contractors. There's no central repository for plans. Some plans are lost forever; others are in basements or attics of various engineers. There was no single group of engineers who know how to put together a Saturn 5.

Yes; it's be cool to see old designs meet new methods. But it's also cool to see what modern materials and chemistry can do.

Microsoft adressing that issue isn't something I perceive as great news, it's rather sad they shipped windows so insecurely for such a long time.

I wouldn't read ebooks to my kid. I have a kindle and it is currently my preferred method of reading. I don't like reading a book as it always get damaged and it bugs me when I am left with a 600 page book taking up shelf space.

However... for a child I think it is imperative that they learn about books and libraries. There is so much technology around it is important to me that his room is free from all technology for as long as possible.

Also, for young children I think it is nice for them to be able to pick up and choose a book and not flick through some options on a single device to get to the story they want. In time this may be what my kid does.. but i'll be damned if I do anything to promote it.
What she's arguing for, and this is no secret in Brussels and even -dare I say- common sense, is better enforcement of copyright. The problem isn't with copyright itself, it's with the difficulties that those who want to use it to monetize content encounter when it comes to making sure people abide by it. Working DRM is impossible with current technology, I think everybody reading this agrees with that; so there are two ways forward: change technology so that it becomes prohibitively difficult for the average customer to copy content without a rights holder's consent, of a whole different business model all together that separates payment from copying. Both are very hard problems for which there are no real solutions in sight. In the short and medium term, the only realistic trend I see is a more active stance from the rights holders themselves in defending those rights - i.e. more lawsuits, without government involvement. (Criminal law is not the right tool for this issue anyway, it's a shame that we've wasted 15 years on going down that route now).

I really hope that when you say "cleanup" you mean "wipe and re-install; and then carefully restore data from backups after really carefully scanning it with multiple anti-malware software."

> Finally, the best place right now to stop malware, in our opinion, is still the browser. Chrome + AdBlock Plus by itself typically prevents repeat malware cleanups.

You mean this is an effective small prong in a many pronged defence, right?

That was an observation of mine. Perl fanboys are generally not capable of having a dispassionate discussion about perl's faults.

>That is a personal attack, without any data, on Perl fans in general.

Fan = Fanboy. It is a programming language. Being a "fan" of a tool is irrational. One should use the tool that works best (for some definition of best) and when that tool is no longer the best one should switch. Being a "fan" means to follow something even when it's not the best (e.g. Dallas Cowboys fan, even when they hadn't won a game in years). This is an utterly irrational stance for a tool.

By the way, the person who has been issuing the personal attacks here is you with your "go away" and troll accusations. I hope in time you can learn to be more civil in your discussions.

Hobo works great for both quick prototypes and huge applications. The USDA is using it for a couple of huge enterprise applications, for example.

Hobo is not an admin interface. It basically is a system to enable smart re-use of components that's tightly integrated into your entire stack.

For instance, in Hobo you can type `<input/>` and Hobo will do the right thing automatically: plop down a text input if the current context is a string, a fully filled out select box if it's a belongs_to or a datepicker if it's a date. The name and default value of that input will also be automatically and correctly inserted.

Change the definition of `<input for="Date"/>` and you can change the options on your datepicker or switch datepickers everywhere or just on that page or that section.

Beginners love Hobo because they can get an app up quick. Experts love it because you can package all of your components up in DRYML and dramatically reduce the number of lines of code in your program. Where Hobo has trouble is in the middle: until you're comfortable with DRYML you're stuck with the components that come with Hobo.
Tips & Ways to return to youthful skin
Just to add nuance: mobile was heavily dependant on landlines. In my experience, not any more.

Recently began (2009) a national gigabit to the mast rollout project in a medium-sized European country which is almost complete now.

This didn't use a legacy copper investment (or even legacy fiber, not that there was a lot of that).
Define 'real identity'. Either this site is meant to allow people to connect w/o knowing each other. Or it's for close friends (and in that case I don't see the point).

Facebook: 50% of my (heh.. Hate that site. Admittedly meager selection of 60 friends) have a pseudonym as name. Among my 2nd level friends that's even more common. It's really _uncommon_ to have a real looking name, not some play on words or weird spellings of something that not even remotely resembles your name.
Ah yeah - and my privacy settings _should_, unless Zuck decided otherwise lately, make it impossible for anyone to see much about me anyway, so my 'real identity' is worth zilch.
> normal users need to see a lot of background activity and red lights for the cost to be justified

The corporate versions of anti-malware are usually better because they can avoid all the klaxons and alarms and flashing dialog warnings, because it's not the user who pays, it's someone else in the corporation.

As three14 says below, some Anti-malware software feels awful to run; really nasty interfaces and nasty mangling of the experience. Having the machine run a scan when the user is away helps.

But I'm surprised there isn't a better AV product out there.
>I agree that this type of measure should come into play if there was a guaranteed way of stopping people looking at child pornography or something like that but it almost always appear to be political.

No offense, but you seem to miss the point. You've just cited a different political bar at which [government] censorship is okay. I'm not saying child pornography is okay, but it's just a different line in the sand.

On the other hand, there are a lot of Paypal horror stories.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely interesting to hear what it is like on the "other side" of the drawing board.

Android is actually an interesting case. Android applications are sandboxed. It's just that applications can request some very dubious permissions ("read all your SMS messages") and users don't know any better and don't read the fine print. The flexibility does allow for some excellent customizations (e.g. Swype keyboard replacement), but the risk of shenanigans is also there.

TechCrunch says:

One of the most popular forms of trickery in Q3 was
SMS-sending Trojans that collect personal information
and steal money. Another new method of stealing user
information is malware that records phone conversations
and forwards them to the attacker.

These are not classic viruses in the purest sense. These are not, say, buffer overrun exploits. These originate from apps the user downloaded that do other, sneaky things.

How do you protect the user from the user? The other flip side is iOS where almost everything is heavily locked down, except perhaps for the AddressBook API. The user is not very trusted, and essentially has no way of opting-in to anything really dangerous. This does severely limit the interesting cross-app interaction cases. But I can sleep safely knowing that my iPhone-holding non-techie family members can't download anything that would cause harm.

Since educating users across the board is likely impossible, does this mean the tough Apple approach is the way of the future (loosely speaking)?

It doesn't surprise me at all either. SCADA systems invariably seem to be ancient museum pieces pressed into service out of necessity and kept in service out of inertia.

The only thing I find surprising about any of this is that it doesn't happen every single day.

Foro de cocina : pastel de langosta
Problems with this:

1. The press is exempted. So someone with a lot of money they want to spend promoting a candidate just has to buy a newspaper and push the candidate through the paper.

2. Section 1, which describes the organizations covered, lists for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, and other private entities stabled for business purposes or to promote business interests. It should not be hard to organize entities that don't fall under that to do your political advocacy.

3. Sections 2 and 3 refer to section 1 for their definition of the entities covered, so have the same problem described above.

4. Section 4 does not limit itself to the entities describe earlier. It appears to allow regulation of election expenditures by any entity.

Does that mean they could prohibit me from having a bumper sticker advocating a candidate? Worse, suppose there is some political issue that the incumbents do not wish the public to discuss. All they have to do is put some question related to that on a ballot so that issue is part of an election, then they can regulate all expenditures related to that.

This is simply a horrible proposed amendment. It has too many loopholes, and leaves too much open to interpretation so that it could be used for oppression.
