It's just a software update. People can and have ported Arduino to a lot more than the ATMega series. Breaking that compatibility isn't something they'd do lightly; it's why the Arduino still has the funky pin spacings.

You think the FDA / NMDP are making medical policy based on bigotry and not on statistical analysis of pathogen distribution?

FWIW surely the measure is whether you're in a risk group for transmission of disease, like being European (wrt CJD).

Also it would be "since I have homosexual sex". It's not your proclivity that's being challenged it's actions which are known to put one at greater risk of carrying certain pathogens that are detrimental to a donee.

Of course it could go down differently to how you say: He lies, the person gets a temporary reprieve and then dies from some other pathogen that the donor wasn't aware that they have but that the medics were trying to account for by ruling out those having homosexual sex.

Turkey/Istanbul so This makes (Rest of) Europe
dividing Europe to West/East (perhaps Central) is purely political (it follows Berlin Wall[1])

There has been a long history of splitting Europe into East/West, starting with when the Roman Empire was split into East & West. Though the definition of what's east and what's west has changed since then.

>men who lie at the blood bank. //

Isn't the only real reason to lie because you're doing it for yourself and not really to try and help other people?
the reason I made this distinction was mainly due to the cultural similarities the UK shares with the US (not only the language), which should result in the UK being overrepresented in this poll (compared to the rest of Europe).

I didn't want to split this up too much, and because of the (kind of) US-centric nature of HN I just wanted to get a rough estimate about where people reside.

Krimidinner Berlin K�penick
When I upgraded to iOS5, I was asked if I wanted to help Apple by automatically sending anonymous usage data. Doesn't this sound like exactly what CarrierIQ would be doing? If this is really what it is, then this is a total non-issue on iOS.

See here (for those not on iOS5): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxBsKO2lJQk#t=42s

But if this is CarrierIQ working there, then it means it's also being used in Europe. And it probably also means that the media will get in an iOS vs Android fight again instead of highlighting the issue. And FWIW, it surprises me much more that RIM would do crap like that.

Some people just have to learn some things the hard way. You can coach, advise, mentor all you want and they will just stubbornly do what they are going to do until they figure out for themselves that it's not working.

My 15 year old is like that. It's quite frustrating.
Rhetorical points? I have been, and very recently in fact (I've become sort of fascinated with the topic). I'm not even remotely vilifying the farmers. That would be like vilifying anyone who bought a house in 2006 only to lose their shirt. It's the system I take issue with. I'm starting to see most corn / soy farmers more as slave labourers if anything. I realize this may come across as offensive, but I honestly don't mean to offend, as I have absolutely no issue with corn farmers themselves. Rather I take issue with the corn subsidies, the CAFOs, the large meat processing firms, the genetically modified crops, and the fertilizer pushers.

More corn / soybean is about the last thing the world needs. It's also extremely dependent on oil prices due to the fact that most corn farmers requires heaps of fertilizer to produce corn / soy at such an unsustainable rate. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=that-burger...

I will give he befit of the doubt to apple right now. Remeber that Steve was talking about iAd and one of the benefits was that they hated how personal data was just taken from users. And privacy was a problem in apple' link up to FacEBook which didn't happen.

If it's active - its going to leave a huge huge mark.
"Update: chpwn notes that initial research indicated that Carrier IQ's software may only be active when the iPhone is in diagnostic mode. In a blog post, chpwn confirms that, based on his initial testing, Apple has added some form of Carrier IQ software to all versions of iOS, including iOS 5. However, the good news is that it does not appear to actually send any information so long as a setting called DiagnosticsAllowed is set to off, which is the default. Finally, the local logs on iOS seem to store much less information than what has been seen on Android, limited to some call activity and location (if enabled), but not any text from the web browser, SMS, or anywhere else. We'll let you know when more details arise."

Please guys, pay attention to detail
Having reviewed this and the data logged in General > About > Diagnostics and Usage I have to say that this pretty much what I expected when I allowed it to 'Send diagnostics'.

I'm a bit of a privacy nerd, but I'm happy to keep supplying this - mainly because they asked explictly for permission.
That's true, and I have been concerned about that too. On the other hand, unless you block doubleclick, AdSense, Google analytics, G+ and whatnot, Google can track you across most sites anyway, apart from analyzing your Gmail content.

Google's DNS service at least makes pretty strict privacy promises that are easier to believe and easier to understand than all the incredibly complicated advertising related don't track stuff. And their DNS servers are really fast.
You're half right.

If you think about it a bit, you'll work out that taxing "bad things" is a great idea, and that the proper tax rate is the net externality of the activity. We're not trying to stop the activity outright (if we were, we'd ban it); we just want to get rid of the "excess" activity. Since the excess is caused by a negative externality (ie, people aren't paying the full costs), if you set the tax to be equal to the externalities, everything comes back into balance.

Spending the collected tax money on something related to what you're taxing (ie, cigarette taxes on curing cancer, or whatever) is entirely uneccesary. (Indeed, given the fungability of tax dollars, the concept doesn't even make sense.) The optimum amount to spend on, for example, obesity reduction simply has nothing to do with the amount you would collect from any "fat tax", and visa versa.

(The technical name for the is a Pigou tax, incidentally. A carbon tax is a textbook example.)

Aspose Wins Medals for Best Email Control & SharePoint Development Tool
Aspose.Network for .NET (now Aspose.Email for .NET) and Aspose.Total for SharePoint were voted among the best products in the DevProConnections Community Awards. The awards run every year. This is the first time that Aspose has taken part. DevProConnections collects together independent information about how to build Microsoft applications to give Microsoft developer advise and insight. The network focuses on practical solutions based on real-life implementations. DevProConnections covers many aspects of Microsoft development: Visual Studio, .NET Framework, Azure, Windows, Windows Server, through Office, SharePoint, SQL Server, Mobile and more. Every year, they run the Community Choice awards in which users nominate and then vote on their favourite companies and products. Aspose was nominated in a number of categories and won awards in two.

A new version of the Joel Test
Because it is different.

It's not part of the Eurozone so doesn't use the Euro. (ok, other countries like Sweden also doesn't)
More importantly, it's not part of the Schengen countries in Europe, which means that a visa that gets you into most EU member states won't get you into the UK. It also means there are border controls if you travel between the rest of Europe and the UK. You can travel all the way from France to Poland without having to show a passport or see an immigration officer.
They also drive on the left of the road and measure in miles, unlike the rest of Europe.
There are other cultural and historical reasons why the UK doesn't 'feel' like continental Europe, and I think these differences developed because of being an island and not physically connected to the rest of Europe. This makes the UK quite distinct from their neighbours, more than say Switzerland is different from their neighbours.
We're just not on the same page. I'm not sure how to emphasize the massive difference between the types of farming you're outlining here. They're so completely different we need new words other than farming to describe them.

When I spoke of my grandfather, I'm referring to grass farming. Corn / soy / industrial livestock farming has almost nothing in common with grass farming so let's completely throw them out for the sake of this topic and reword my statement to this; "My grass farming ancestors believed in working hard and passed this belief onto their children. Their work ethic probably had more to do with what was necessary to survive than their religious beliefs (protestant or otherwise)".

It's much cheaper to serve up an API request, and trying to block scraping is futile.
