Having to defend against claims for damages that do not need to be supported by any proof of loss is itself a deterrent, whatever the amounts may be, in my opinion.

Universal's actual losses might be zero but as long as they can prove infringement and that the defendant (intentionally or not) was an infringer, they can get a judgment for damages.

Of course winning some copyright litigation and winning the larger battle over monopolistic control of music distribution channels may be two different things.
It is easier to make friends from your own country abroad than at home, because ex-patriots are missing their friends from home and looking for other people to hang out with.

Ex-patriots tend to hang out together, and are relatively easy to find, particularly in a country where your face makes you stand out as a foreigner.

Why Building Backlinks To Your Empower Network Blog Makes Sense
On the topic of .NET's abysmal failure, it always killed me that ASP.NET's (Web Forms', at least) default custom 404 behavior was to return a 302 Found status code then redirect to a 404 Not Found page. For example: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/thisdoesntexist.aspx
I'm not making any such claim. But I'm curious why you want to see me as making that claim. Why would you be interested in evidence that open source projects produce generally/consistently better software than proprietary projects for the same sort of problems?

As for evidence that open source projects can (sometimes) produce "high quality" software, TCP/IP is the first example that comes to mind.

Once upon a time, there was a government software project, a government contractor and a grad student...

These companies wouldn't pay dues unless they were getting value from it. And I bet most have got an employee whose job it is to follow what these organizations are doing to make sure they're still worth the huge dues.

So no. I imagine almost everything done by a group like this is with the explicit approval, if not at the request, of almost all their members. But by not having to put their name on it they get an out in case it blows up in their face.
Yeah, that particular bit of FUD is quite popular with the anti-git crowd. It's nonsense. Any attempt to edit the history of a public repository will be noticed instantly by anybody who tries to sync up, no matter what.

Stick in a post-commit hook to force a sync to a backup repo nobody has access to if you want to be really paranoid, but as it is, git is already far more resilient against tampering with the public history than svn ever was.

If you use the term loosely, I suppose so. :)

But you're not actually joining any data. You return one document, and then exploit the properties of sorting to return the related document(s) next in the collection. In SQL-speak, each relation comes as a distinct row and are only connected by the order in which the rows are returned. There is a writeup on the specifics here, if you are curious: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/View_collation

It is a pretty clever trick that can save you a round trip to the DB, but doesn't have nearly the power that a real join does.

When you cant pivot, litigate.
Which is utterly trivial (I've done it, seriously, it's not the big deal you seem to think it is, aside from the obvious difficulty of particularly large repos), and is not conceptually different from what's necessary for editing git's history, except that nobody can tell you've done it without comparing the "new" repo to the old one -- and under svn's internal model, no one but the server will normally have a complete history.

With git's model, not only does everybody have the history, but the commit ID themselves are your insurance against tampering. You effectively validate that history every time you sync with another git repo.

From the site's Green Arrays Architecture paper [1]:

Our architecture explicitly omits a clock, saving energy and time among other benefits.

Also, they quoted instruction execution time as being as low as 1400 picoseconds, so 700MHz equivalence is probably the best case, not the average case.

Edit: They also say in the architecture paper that their goal is one billion operations per second, or 1GHz.

Even if you ignore all of the issues with Gruber's math (non-Honeycomb tablets matter a great deal, for instance, especially when you're trying to understand the impact of the Kindle Fire), as of July is a very, very out-of-date number. As of the beginning if November, ASUS alone has sold 1.2 million Transformers [1]. A better number is 6 million Android tablets (from Andy Rubin at AsiaD) [2], though that still leaves out important slices of the Android tablet market like the B&N Nooks.

Putting this together, if Amazon hits their (rumored) goal of selling over 5 million Kindle Fires, they'll certainly get a substantial slice of the Android tablet market and quite possibly a majority among US users (depending on what you count, like Nooks). Nevertheless, there will still be a larger slice of Android tablets with Google services and the Android Market, and the Android Market will be dominant outside the US (e.g. if you believe the NPD numbers ASUS might well have sold over 90% of their tablets outside the US [3]).

Point 3 - Config: The claim is that you shouldn't have a config file that you don't check into source control like Rails' config/database.yaml, or the common Django settings_local.py. Instead you should use environment variables. Um. I see the point,but I also see two problems with this.

1) I'm certainly not going to set env variables with database passwords and such by hand. I'm going to have a script to do it for me. I might even call it, oh, I dunno, settings_local.py. In which case, I'm right back at square one, needing to not check this into source control. In other words, how do you avoid having the database passwords in SOME file, SOMEWHERE? Does it "fix" anything if it's named "fabfile.py" instead of "settings_local.py"? I can't see how.

2) How do I deploy multiple apps to the same server? Let's say I've got a linode (or EC2 instance, or whatever) running a test, dev, and production deployment of three different apps. With config files, I just have a different settings_local.py file in each deployments project directory. With environment variables...what, do I use prefixes? app1_test_dbpass = 'foo'; app2_prod_dbpass = 'bar', and so on? Except they say NOT to group stuff together into environments by name. So uh...how do you manage name collisions?

Basically, they seem to have identified a real problem, then proposed a solution that doesn't fix it and doesn't work. What am I missing?

$200 is cheap but I'm hoping they eventually put out an option closer to the $40/mo price point just so I can play around with Postgre (I'm currently a MS SQLServer guy that wants to start branching out). I don't want to spin up a new AWS and waste time with configuration and other things and don't want to worry about hosing a currently running instance just to have a new sandbox to play in. I'd pay a reasonable amount to have something akin to a cheap "test" instance in exchange for giving up things like an SLA or dedicated support.
Drives me nuts, too. Plus .NET overrides default server settings, which I've never understood. Why make things even more complicated? Oh, wait. it's Microsoft...
I want to love the Kindle Fire (just like a bunch of people do). But from a technical standpoint, $200 can't hold up to the iPad (although they are still overpriced--the iPads that is ;). The load times on the Fire are quite slow, the physical package is a bit iffy (and that's compared to the slimmer iPad 2), and the overall UX is just not too friendly....it is definitely an improvement, and if you want a 'sexier' cheaper tablet-esque option...this is a good choice--but it's not a tablet in totality.

> Would you use a computer who's only ability was to manage an intravenous pump?

Yes, I would prefer exactly such a thing for my IV pump.

> Even with medical devices being highly audited, not running Flash or WebGL & not being on the Internet,

There absolutely are many many medical devices running Windows XP embedded plugged in to hospital LANs around the country as we speak.

In fact, I used to work on such a system. It was a total PoS from a security perspective. The mechanical engineers who designed it seriously didn't expect anyone would plug it into the LAN. Maybe they've improved it since then, I don't know. I no longer associate with those people.

> they still can end up with life threatening bugs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25

Bonus points for knowing your history, but note that you're going back 25 years for such a bug.

Adobe, lets see ... http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search-results?query=adobe...

There we go CVE-2011-2460:

Summary: Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.11 and 11.x before 11.1.102.55 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris and before 11.1.102.59 on Android, and Adobe AIR before 3.1.0.4880, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2445, CVE-2011-2451, CVE-2011-2452, CVE-2011-2453, CVE-2011-2454, CVE-2011-2455, and CVE-2011-2459. CVSS Severity: 10.0 (HIGH) Published: 11/11/2011

So I had to look back only 11 days for my example, and that's not to mention the 15 other Adobe bugs with CVEs published that week.

Still medical devices, like SCADA systems, do usually tend to suck because they're computer systems designed by people who've never secured a computer before. Guess what! Did you know you can kill someone wirelessly if they have a Medtronic insulin pump? http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/26/us-medtronic-idUST...

But that doesn't have much to do with my reasons for being wary of allowing WebGL.

At the moment, I have some apps deployed with nginx > uwsgi > django, taking advantage of the fact that nginx has built in support for uwsgi these days. This breaks rule 7, since my app isn't just binding to a port - but would I really be better off by using nginx > tornado > django?

I know plenty of PC users who weren't put off by the Mac & PC ads. The characterization was completely different. In the Mac & PC ads, PC users weren't mocked. The characters weren't Mac users and PC users, they were literally a Mac and a PC (the devices) personified. In this way, it's possible to positively identify with the ad as a PC user: "OMG, my PC has totally done that to me."

I felt a tremendous amount of contempt in this Samsung ad: "Hey, idiot, check out our new phone." I really have a hard time feeling that Samsung, in any way, understands why I buy an iPhone, so how could they possibly build a device that I would appreciate?
