Online Quran learning started while considering the problem of the parents in finding qualified Quran teachers near to their home. The online way of learning holy Quran has a lot of advantages as compared to the conventional Quran classes. In online Quran reading, you can take lessons at any place at anytime just with a connectivity to internet. Qualified tutors are hired for this holy task to give effective and easy lessons. Free trial is your right. You can take a free trial of 3 Quran classes to ensure the teaching methodology. If you will be satisfied you can continue with us. Another advantage of online learning is that you can see your kid reading Quran without interrupting the kid and the teacher. Quality Softwares are used to make the lessons fruitful and easy.
There is enough porn on Tumblr that I would assume it's being blocked by many corporate firewalls. (Not to mention blanket bans on social networking sites.) Probably not a place I would put marketing material.

Flip the question on its head: why is piracy considered wrong? What is the specific, provable harm that it does? Is it true to say that there is no benefit to it? If there is a benefit, is the benefit to society greater than the harm to the creator? If there is no benefit to it, why does it happen? Does the cost of fighting it outweigh the harm done? What is the cost of fighting the fight if you disagree?
What value could Lua bring to a Unix kernel?

You could do some fast and very sophisticated manipulation of network traffic streams without requiring that each packet be copied to and from user-space. You wouldn't even have to develop much packet-twiddling code. There is a surprisingly large amount of network-specific open source Lua.

Wireshark, the most popular network protocol analyzer, has dissectors written in Lua. [0]

Nmap, the network mapper and port scanner, has a Lua-based scripting engine to allow session and endpoint property discovery in great detail. [1]

The popular intrusion detection tool Snort Security Platform (SnortSP) has included a Lua interpreter since version 3.0. [2]

Yes, keeping the interpreter in user-space is safer. I have a hard time imagining sandboxing within the language runtime being able to deal with some of the nastier traffic. Perhaps one prudent thing to do with an in-kernel interpreter would be to use a project-specific sanitizer that could reliably escape tokens and keywords found in live traffic.

Interesting. I did not know that.

(I think it's a mistake to try and go the other way, though. Building the newsletter/subscription management tech is harder than it seems.)
That is where a great designer comes in play. Space and color are there to support content not replace it. So if used right you can make anything beautiful. The real problem is people don't spend enough time crafting their color scheme and that is where the really issue is.
My daughter plays the cello, and the shop where she gets it repaired has a number of moderately expensive instruments of all kinds.

The shop owner has various artists who come by just to play the instrument, first for their own enjoyment at using a fine instrument, and secondly as a favor to the shop owner as playing of the instrument keeps it in good shape.
Ah. Yeah, for that it's obviously going to be the bee's knees except for the whole AI-completeness issue. But for me it's useless; I look at German text and type English text, so the issue really is throughput. (Mostly.)

So no, not joking at all. Just talking about a different application.
Live Blogging Platform CoveritLive Gets Hacked
I've been having issues with Zappos for a couple days. I called up support yesterday and they said they were "upgrading the website and had bugs they were trying to get fixed." Not sure if this is related or just a coincidence.
This phenomenon is well-known among Fender Stratocasters. The guitars which have been played for years (e.g., a country musician played it every night for 20 years) are distinctly different (feel different, play different, sound different).

I would never believe it myself had I not personally experienced it many times. Explanations are completely lacking, so it's just a strange phenomenon but there's no dispute about its existence among pro players.
Well, obviously if you need/want the individual toe feel then they won't replace that. If you're looking for a barefoot shoe that is as minimal as the vibrams then they fit the bill. On my feet the Trailglove toebox is quite wide so my toes spread out inside the shoe. This spread doesn't transfer to the ground of course, but it does lead to the feeling of not wearing a shoe at all.
The charge of being excessively clever is, I think, spot on, and exactly points to pedagogical issues. I think a lot of the examples in K&R are more amusing to those glancing through it who already know C, than to the novice trying to learn it.

My main website that gets a whopping 200 unique visitors a day has already been blacked out and will remain so until Obama signs the damn bill. I provide a message about why I did it and links to fight it. I already lose money on hosting so a few weeks of lost revenue don't really matter.

If one person takes action and learns and contacts their representatives due to the blackout I did my job.

Good thing they didn't store passwords in clear-text!
Near the very end, Rick Cotton, claims that SOPA would not be restrictive on US businesses and states that "the only thing that can happen is that a search engine or a credit card company has to respond with respect to a specific [foreign] site ... after a judge has made a specific finding after a full due process...", etc.

If that is true, the act seems ineffective. How hard would it be to shut down The Pirate Bay and open up an identical site like The Buccaneer Bay, followed by the Corsair Bay etc?

Of course this may invite another round of legislation, which would contain more severe provisions...

... or it could be that Cotton is just wrong.
Yeah, I think they're sending the email out in separate blasts. This is one email they don't want ISPs blocking IPs on because it looks like spam.
What makes you think that any remotely-electable presidential candidate would do much different once in office?

FWIW, I just got a similar email from 6pm.com (It's a Zappos Affiliate) ..
“… why can't the OS handle mapping physical keys to common logical commands like undo?” Sadly, Mac OS X can’t do that either, but it does include two solutions to the problem you described where Z,X,C,V are in different places on the Dvorak layout.

One is that it includes a keyboard layout called “Dvorak – Qwerty ⌘”, which lets you type text in Dvorak but switches to Qwerty temporarily while the ⌘Command key is held down. For instance, “⌘Q” according to the Dvorak labels would actually execute “⌘X” for cut, but you can still type a q by pressing the same key without Command.

The other solution is that it lets you globally remap keyboard shortcuts of menu items, in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts. To fix Undo, for instance, without using the Dvorak – Qwerty ⌘ layout, you would add a new shortcut for “All Applications” with Menu Title “Undo” and Keyboard Shortcut “⌘;”.

I'd also only heard it used specific to a journey, but just found this definition (the second group, from Collins http://www.thefreedictionary.com/schlep) includes:

2. an arduous journey or procedure

I feel there's a connotation of unnecessariness to the difficulty ("clumsiness" in the literal meaning is similar; that it shouldn't be there).
e.g. climbing Mt. Everest is "an arduous journey" - but I don't think it's a "schlep". Unnecessary difficulty is just the thing for a startup to target. Suffer that tedium so your customers don't have to.

PleaseReturn.it
So twice in the last several months I have had stuff swiped. All too low in value to really involve the police (or have them give a rip). The only thing I could think of was to "register" the thefts on the Internet and hope for a Google search by some law-abiding citizen to catch it. Not much of a hope but it made me feel better.

Except, there was nowhere to do this. So I created PleaseReturn.it as a free place anyone can upload anything you've had taken (except your innocence). It likely won't work, but you can say you at least did something.

There, I feel better already...
I'm guessing you aren't talking about Rio. I live in the Zona Sul and haven't come across lockers on the beach (though I had the idea literally a few days ago). If they do exist here, whereabouts can I see them?
Using site:cherry.com pulled this up http://help.cherry.com/entries/20208543-where-do-i-wash-cars which clears up the location (somewhat). There are no defined locations, they matchmake cleaners with dirty cars. It's a chicken egg problem.
Another problem with hosting with Tumblr is that you can't host the blog on the same domain as your app. The usual solution is to host the blog at blog.example.com. The problem with this is that subdomains are treated by google as a separate domain, so any google juice flowing to your blog does not help your main domain. With SEO, one of the most important things is incoming links and if you split your incoming links across multiple domains, the sum is actually less than the whole. The best solution is to host your blog in a subfolder on your main domain (e.g. example.com/blog).
Outside the reach of the US pretty much means countries with hostile diplomatic relations. Any safety you might be afforded by other countries (say New Zealand or Sweden) depends on if you are worth someone in DC picking up a telephone. A quick check over at the State Department website gives us a few candidates:

Belarus - Nope. Most of the DNS infrastructure is hosted in US friendly countries (Poland, Russia, etc.)
Burma (Myanmar) - Nope. Getting a domain requires being friendly with the government.
Cuba - Nope. Requires physical presence in Cuba.
Democratic Republic of the Congo - Nope. Registration open to anyone, but DNS servers are in the US(!), Sweden, Republic of South Africa.
Iran - Maybe. Generally open for registration, and one of the more tech savvy sanctioned countries. Don't mention politics, religion, porn, or any other sensitive topics and you should be ok.
Libya - Nope. Democracy is on it way, please allow 6-8 weeks for shipping.
North Korea - Nope. Must have presence in country for registration. All infrastructure and management actually takes place in Thailand.
Syria - Maybe. Hosted and managed in country, but a shitstorm is on the horizon.
I don't have a source but I did play violin for a bunch of years growing up...the wood of the instrument (in layman's terms) gets "used" to a certain set of tones (scales with specific ratios between them). When this set of tones is as accurate as possible the wood (and varnish etc.) literally gets broken in. It's not uncommon to leave violins on top of well tuned pianos while people play them to break them in as well.

With a cello or a violin a better player will play the scales more accurately, more consistently, and usually (though not always), simply more. All of these contribute to the wood sounding better.
Vim already has the capability to allow pressing a key chord to perform a custom function. Just use the plugin vim-arpeggio at https://github.com/kana/vim-arpeggio. And you can already do something like “DFD” expanding to “def someFunction(arg): stuff” by using the vim-snipmate plugin at https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate. That “snippets” functionality is based on TextMate’s snippets feature, and I know Eclipse supports snippets too.

Thus, steno is not necessary for either of the advantages mentioned. However, it still might be good to have the mindset of using tools like vim-arpeggio more, and steno still might make typing variable names slightly faster.
My contacts ended up in a separate contact group, and there doesn't seem to be a way to pull in contact info from an existing group into the iCloud group.

Some Key Social Media Trends To Look For In 2012
Not a problem really.

You can also obfuscate your code.

The top 1% is only 1.2 million USD net worth, top 0.5% is 1.8 million USD.

Strange article. Not much content about what Buffet actually thinks and it goes onto some sort of political diatribe against Mitt Romney.

In my opinion PE shops fill a different sort of gap. Whereas Buffet benefits by buying a company that is extremely well managed, PE shops can sometimes create value by changing the management team of a company that is not optimally run.

Mitt Romney's track record at BCG, Bain, and Bain Capital should be examined, but I don't understand why it's in an article about Warren Buffet.

Can Social Media Help Guys To Pick Up a Chick?
Social media sites can be used for more than getting in touch with your friends and networking. They can help you find hot gorgeous girls that share common interest and friends with you. Do you want to hook up a girl who loves baseball and loves chatting online? Social media will definitely help you to find the perfect girl that you’ve been dreaming.

Further to your point I believe there is some accounting trick that makes musical instruments good vehicles for tax deferral. It has to do with the IRS rules on depreciation.
So, if someone sells some item, but not in the format you desire, their rights (of intellectual property or physical property) should be abrogated?

Suppose you go to a store wanting a six-pack of beer, but they only have 24-count cases. Should you have the legal right to open a case, grab six bottles and walk out of the store without paying? Or should the store be required to sell six bottles, or one bottle, at a time? What price should they be required to charge you?

In all of these pay scales it is only the absolute top of the scale that reaches 100k, and LA never reaches it.

Very few teachers reach this. By contrast programmers reach 100k rather quickly, yet they aren't as large in the original link. Let's remember what patio11 was replying to," I was surprised to see the relatively large box of elementary school teachers. Surely those jobs don't pay that well."
Ask HN: How free will the web remain?
I am from India, an enthusiastic fellow citizen of the global web, have been here for more than a decade now.

For the last many weeks we have all seen the SOPA issue, we have seen domains taken down and now a UK citizen extradited to USA. I understand that most of these people or sites involved are doing wrong according to some laws. But probably for the first time I am watching in horror as governments are trying their best to kill the Internet (India is not very far behind).

There are many knowledgeable people here and I would like to ask them: what seems to be the future for users and businesses on the Internet? Will it be more restrictive, more paperwork, more "silenced"? Will there be a day when if I blog something ill about a government, then my blog could be shutdown?

Edit: I edited the title, the question is broader than copyright issues.

One thing I wonder is if the upper crust of the upper crust are actually losing their wealth in relative terms (globally) by damaging the country. In essence, if you extrapolate the trend big money and assets in a broken country are not as valuable as the same in a healthy country (whatever the definition of that is). Now I know they can move their money overseas but I would guess that much of the US's top .1%'s money making vehicles are tied to the US in one way or another.

I am using MiddleMan, but I have pandoc parse the markdown first then pass the HTML over to MiddleMan. Pandoc is a godsend for academic writing, although I'm also using MultiMarkDown for some of the files due to the way it handles tables.

The author of Pandoc has his own Haskell static site generator, although to me it lacks the elegance of Pandoc.

Did not see the video-report, the commercial required to watch this takes too long (more than 15 seconds). I've closed the tab after first 7 seconds.
Probably coincidence. Companies that expect a lot of Christmas traffic minimize changes from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and web retail gets more traffic during business hours in America, so I expect that this weekend and last weekend saw a lot of code deployments, and so things are more likely to be broken specifically right now than pretty much any other time of the year.
2 comments on usability if the site owner is reading this.

1) On the payment screen you have Paypal has an option but I can't actually click on it to allow the paypal option. I'm using the newest version of Chrome.

2) I went through the whole registration with credit card details and everything and I got an error message back saying "We're closed" and to come back 9-5pm. It would be much easier for me and probably for you just to take down all my information and process it when you're open or let me pre-pay for a wash or something. It's a little frustrating that I will have to do that all over again.
The conclusion I take from all the downvotes to this user's comments is that the HN croud has the emotional stability of a soap opera character.
What's with everybody being so sentimental? The little girls passed away, it's a sad outcome for this young person and her family. But why does any attempt to question her 'prodigy' title gets so aggressive downvoting?

May I suggest, that if you disagree, reply with your rational opinion rather than playing the feelings/respect-the-death card along with your downvoting?
When I read that paragraph as a layman, I read two points:

1. A US entity does not have to redesign anything to slow or prevent infringing search results/credit card payments/etc in order to avoid liability

2. No particular type of technology must be utilized to comply: they're explicitly saying they won't require firms to "use PiracyBlocker2001 on your network" or "filter search results with the ProtectLouisVuittonsProfitMargin algorithm" or something to that effect.
Some lawyers (from a certain firm?) in Australia are said to be taught. to. speak. really. slowly.

It's clever, because even the dumbest juror will find it uncomfortably slow, and kind of tune out. It has a hypnotic effect, allowing irrational points to be drilled in without anyone realising that it's not quite logical.

Other lawyers will try to talk fast, and use big words, but people are actually incredibly good a parsing fast speech. It's slow speech which really tricks us.
Is anyone keeping a list of everyone pledging to do this?

Agree. So many companies don't act like grown-ups and just try to cover up the problem.

Still, it's going to be pretty tough getting your average customer back who hears they've been "hacked" and are afraid to create a new password. Not to mention the average customer's password is probably the same password across facebook, gmail, etc.

For 500 meters against the wind it would not guarantee a stable velocity, thus not a stable path length over certain time (it would probably be non-linear to calculate).

So, it seems to exist a correlation between the RPM of the projectile and its velocity over wind's influence that guarantee a linear calculation over the RPM of the projectile.
