I have a domain that's (shamefully) hosted on GoDaddy. Worse, I had the domain on a better registrar and I transferred it to godaddy.

I needed a registrar that was able to handle IPv6 glue records, which was rare at the time. (The TUCOWS-backed services only got this capability last month! Before that you had to email TUCOWS and have them manually add the AAAA records to your glue, which I didn't consider a solution.) For all their many flaws, GoDaddy was surprisingly ahead of the curve on IPv6 support.

I suppose by now some of the other registrars probably have gotten their act together. Anybody with experience running IPv6-hosted nameservers have recommendations?

Yes, I've been using Ubuntu exclusively on the desktop for about 6 years now. I recently bought a new laptop (from LinuxCertified.com) and tried out 11.10 (Unity) for the first time. At first I liked it pretty well, but a few days later realized that I really missed the GNOME task bar, where I could see everything running at a glance, and click to open an active window, and click again to minimize it.

That feels indispensable to my work flow, so I'm logging in with GNOME Classic now instead of Unity. Although I commend Mark Shuttleworth and his crew on their achievements with Unity, I just gotta have that task bar. Right now the laptop feels like a dream machine -- the keyboard is perfect and I'm a master with the touchpad.

Also, the desktop behaves so beautifully that it makes my wife slightly jealous, so when her Windows computer gives up the ghost I think she's gonna want the Linux desktop.

"They tend to be more authoritarian than other people"

The left is just as authoritarian. Mostly revolving around taxes (IE: forcing one group of people to pay more taxes than another because they don't need or deserve it).
And how can you disrupt the passivity?
Code is the output; gathering requirements, taking direction, reacting to bug reports, and various other interactions with co-workers are the inputs. If you only look at the outputs, you're not seeing the whole process.

How many employers want to hire someone who writes beautifully elegant jewel-like code that doesn't meet their needs, because the developer is incompetent at the input side of the development process? Talking to people they've worked with can tell you "this candidate is incredibly abrasive and drives away their teammates (but can hide the abrasiveness for a day or so of interviews)" or "this candidate is incredibly helpful, teaching and mentoring junior members of the team, and providing insight to non-technical managers". If the two candidates code equally well, which would you want to hire?

Good luck getting unions to renegotiate. Sounds like a long winded legal battle & asking for large scale strikes.

Unemployment Insurance is insurance setup to help you transition to a job at similar wage, that is it's purpose. Some tiers in the US are subsided but do have stricter job acceptance & search requirements already in place.

Cut welfare for the disabled, elderly & impoverished? Talk about winning the hearts & minds!

I think you'll also find it hard to get prosperously employed workers to take a pay cut, especially a massive one meant to rebalance the entire economy. If you do start to see it happening you'll probably have imbalances where companies keep prices high to milk profit while worker compensation goes down. You may also see certain sectors impacted more than others, causing an exodus of talent in certain areas. This might just further destabilize the economy.

Also as far debts go, if people don't have the money to pay, they don't have the money to pay. If the banks foreclose on property but people don't eventually buy that property, that's not very helpful. Also banks have already been foreclosing on properties too quickly & got in trouble for it.

We aren't talking about a bond villain, here. We're talking about largely uneducated Arab peasants who are perfectly capable of firing an RPG-7 or an AK-47, or strapping on an explosive vest and blowing themselves up, but little else. There's no evidence they're even making their own PETN, which is far easier than engineering a virus. In fact, instructions for the manufacture of PETN, and the constituent components thereof, are freely available.

The rush to ascribe fantastical abilities to terrorists has led to the introduction of some pretty draconian laws. Given that bathtubs kill more Americans than do terrorists, let's lay of the doomsdaying, shall we?
By doing this and not explaining your point-of-view, it makes me think you are the bad guy in the situation.
binary comparisons are great if you aren't looking at shared files but once you get into a situation where two different people can be editing a file at the same time it really helps to know what data you're dealing with rather than just trying to do a straight binary comparison.

You could very well be right about what they're planning but if that's the way they're going it will end up killing them in the end. As someone who administers Dropbox in a team environment the biggest issue is its creation of "Copy" files whenever there are simultaneous edits.

I mean, think about it. If you're using Photoshop and your edits go into a copy file you basically have to re-do that work. There's no easy way to merge changes (I guess if you were working on different layers but still it's difficult).

This is as shallow as interviews get. In terms of the interview process, I agree with a post yesterday where the writer was explaining how the more you interview people, the more you move away from the solve-a-problem interview technique and shift toward analyzing the recommendations the person has. Recommendations provide the signals you need: gets work done, drive, communication skills, people skills, work style, etc. Then you ask for a source code sample to examine what goes on under the hood and you're finished.
Holy mackerel! I hadn't realized how badly the deck was stacked. If you go to the page [1] that links to that document, you'll be horrified.

The official page of the House Judiciary Committee shows that the committee has completely made up its mind already. In addition to this list of supporters, they are full of links to supportive letters, pro-SOPA press releases, etc.

There is not one single item on that page to reveal that anyone is opposing this.

It seems to me that before a bill is approved, and especially at this point, still in committee, the legislature ought to try to maintain some balance. They ought to at least acknowledge that there are alternate points of view, and show those alongside the supporters.

UPDATE: I just called Rep. Lamar Smith to complain about this, since he heads the committee. The person taking the calls said that's a committee issue, and forwarded me to them. As soon as I started explaining my concern to the committee phone-answerer, they stopped me and forwarded me to another line, that allows me to record comments "for the full committee", and which is "checked periodically". In other words, there doesn't seem to be any real way to complain to the committee about this.

UPDATE 2: I talked to my own Representative (or rather, his assistant). There doesn't seem to be any process where he can feed comments about this to the committee.

Even if domains are just a loss leader for GoDaddy, they surely look at their numbers, so this is a way to send them a message they'll hear.

Not too long ago in human history (and even today in some places and with some different forms) it was customary for young boys to orally pleasure old men, or wed off girls before or at puberty. Playing more devil's advocate, the only thing that should really be illegal is exploiting children when they can be shown to be incapable of sound personal choices. (So covering both child porn and Britney-Spears-pattern Disney stars at once.) Now we just have to worry about where we draw the line at exploitation and whether potential monetary or status gain is important or not. The main point though is the act has already occurred by the time some pedo sees it on a tor page, and I don't think it's ever been shown that pedo-consumers are much more likely to become pedo-producers if they weren't already. (Someone please correct my belief if that's not the case, and then explain Japan.) Of course, catching either the consumers or producers is fairly difficult without draconian, invasive practices, and on the producers side it reduces to the classic problem of domestic abuse.

Interview with Fusion Garage's Chandra Rathakrishnan... post-fallout
It's much worthwhile learning things like the market you're in, psychology, human behavior, and human nature instead of algorithms. The point of a startup is to solve someone's pains and get them to buy it. An algorithm can be part of the execution but it's useless if you don't know what you need to execute, and why. It's like designing a complex financial derivative that ends up destroying Wall Street.
Good men had to die to give us due process; yet our government can now officially assassinate citizens without trial.

Good men had to die to firmly establish habeas corpus; yet today our government detains people indefinitely without trial.

Good men had to die to ban unlawful search and seizure; that right lies in ruins amid warrantless phone wiretaps and a farcical law that says email left on a server for more than 60 days is abandoned property.

SOPA is terrible and the right of startups to avoid prosecution for user piracy is important — but for you to invoke the death of American soldiers across countless wars in support of this relatively narrow cause, when there is so much other injustice going on, greatly undermines your point. A little perspective goes a long way.

It really decouples the model (the data that's served in the json) from the view (the mustache template). This lets frameworks like ember and backbone do MVC on the client side where the server is really just there to serve up a model (in the same way that a database does for most current apps).

Making an http request is then equivalent to making a sql query.

ome may say that the Linux Desktop is dead

No, the desktop user-interface paradigm is dead. Overlapping windows, scrollbars, context menus, using a mouse and cursor... it's all dead. This style of computing that Xerox invented, and Mac and Windows perpetuated is getting awfully long in the tooth.

Linux never innovated over and above the desktop model that Windows and Mac used, and it will die along with them, and be replaced with mobile/cloud/touchscreen systems.

From what I understand, the Korean written language was pretty much invented wholesale by one man (the king at the time, I believe). As such it's a lot better designed and internally consistent then other written languages (which accumulated naturally over time).

That said, while it may be easier to learn, I imagine people still read it at about the same speed they would read English or Chinese. I don't remember where but a while back I read an article saying that basically all spoken languages impart information at roughly the same rate (e.g. languages with higher information density are spoken slower, languages with lower information density are spoken faster). And from the OP's article it sounds like this applies to written languages as well.
It's funny that I got more downvotes when I'm posting about basically my day job.

It's actually self-evident for anyone who knows both languages that Chinese is semantically more dense than English and by that effect alone it's much faster to read (it takes fewer words to express the same thing, generally speaking).

I could point you to many studies to this effect but I think it's beside the point. I think the point the author is trying to make is that Chinese is faster to "scan" than English. This is harder to prove, but from my own experience I think so. As a matter of fact I do scan Chinese characters in text faster than words in my own mother tongue, and I've been reading Japanese for about just 13 years and Chinese for about 4 years (I'm in my 30s).
The great developers would not be attracted by this tool though since it basically commoditizes their talent. It's sad when recruiting innovation basically revolves around getting people to take more exams.
This doesn't feel aggressive enough.

For some reason I can't see a reply link under hir answer, so I'll just leave this here:

Constitution is neither the only one, nor the most effective assertion of unalienable freedoms. Since the aftermath of WW2 there have been many Charters, Conventions and Declarations of all sorts, many of them accepted ("ratified") by many countries alongside their local laws.

Perhaps the most widely known and accepted one is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_...
Upper right in gnome-shell is where the shutdown and suspend options are. I use them every day. And the upper-left in windows (by which you really mean a maximized windows app -- windows puts nothing there, and I only occasionally have anything maximized) is the "context menu", which is near useless, being duplicated functionality with the existing window buttons. Note that Chrome doesn't use a context menu button, for example. I think arguing that windows puts something "useful" there is disingenuous. Windows merely puts "something" there.

I guess the top bar argument is valid, though note that there are a bunch of gnome-shell extensions that like to use the space. And the significantly thicker windows panel is likewise largely a waste of space (just a big bunch of icons duplicating what in gnome-shell would be the overview).

Looks: you hate gnome-shell. Good for you. You're not alone, lots of people do. I don't begrudge you your opinions, I'm just calling you out for trying to turn them into "facts" when they clearly aren't.

I'm a little down on things like Logo and Karel, partly because I prefer things that are more general, and partly because even in the niche I might use them, my judgment is that Scratch is better. :)

I didn't try Python myself until late 2001, and by then, I was already more or less out of education, so I didn't get to try it out on anybody else.

But if I were guessing, I think the language itself would probably work pretty well for most students, possibly somewhat better than JS. Not sure how big the advantage would be, though (like I said, we really didn't struggle with JS's warts much), and I think the broad target for JavaScript's use give it something of an advantage too.

This would vary by domain, though. If I were trying to teach a number-crunching focused class, for example, Python would probably move way up my list.
