I have experience with the old version of EE in which the docs were quite good, so I'm surprised to hear there are now problems with it.

In general the plugins / addons create much less problems than the Drupal equivalents. Also, from what I heard is that it's now easier to hack EE through its CodeIgniter base.

Prce is an issue, but really, what is 200USD if you're billing thousands for the whole project? Lack of a demo, no excuse for that if it really is the case.
BitTorrent Seeders Harrass Victim, High Court Rules
I think you do understand my point better than you care to admit. Here's me, there's my customer and smack in the middle is Apple in a position to veto everything I sell to my customers and kick me off the platform whenever they want without even owing me an explanation.

Depending on this kind of all powerful middleman is not just "a small number of restrictions on one very specific element of your life". The element of my life we're talking about is my professional and financial existence. Or rather it would be if I built my startup on top of iOS or a similar platform like Facebook.

The impact of this kind of dependency on small software companies can hardly be overstated.

In Japan noone is allowed to nap much less sleep. I need to move.
That's a well known rule of thumb: If you can fall asleep, but wake up groggy, decrease your total napping time by one or two minutes until you reach the spot where it works for you. 20-25 minutes is what you start off with, but the more you learn to fall asleep quickly, the further you have to chop away from that alarm clock to have it work.
I agree. However, if we could ever manage to master both hype and real arguments and action, we could much more effectively change the world.

You're thinking in Internet Time. In IRL Time, OWS has accomplished a great deal in terms of shifting the debate. No, the bankers haven't been sent to jail and students are still unemployed. Just yesterday, however, we had Newt Gingrich of all people saying that capitalism shouldn't benefit the few at the expense of the many, and that the reckless pursuit of profit at the expense of people is a perversion of capitalism. Were it not for OWS, we would never be hearing that (and certainly not from Newt).

We technorati tend to be pretty self-effacing, which is usually a good thing. When we ignore our real successes, however, we sell ourselves short and discourage future attempts to change things.

I agree, we're generally pretty bad at convincing people that we're right. We usually adopt the, "I know I'm right, who cares if this idiot agrees" attitude. That said, we've been very successful at empowering others to advance causes. We can acknowledge our failings without ignoring our successes.

Indeed, I think they really did set themselves in by setting a price point. We have seen so many projects, like the OLPC $100, I mean $200 computer, the OpenPandora and a number of others go down this same route and learning the hard way.

Fortunately there's a massive amount of buzz around this project, so even if the initial batches are unreliable and the units get to market at double the initial intended price, people are willing to put up with it. Perhaps the initial buzz is not a bad strategy, since it has a similar effect to Microsoft's strategy in the 90s. Many people hold off on buying other things waiting for this product, and even if it's not delivering as promised they are now psychologically invested in it.

As you say, it's also a good way for many people to learn about the barriers UK manufacturers have to face. I hope this will help bring about some change.

That metaphor is wrong in an intriguing and illustrative way. The problem with drugs is that they're illegal, so criminals have a monopoly. If they were legal, that part of the problem would largely disappear. Granted, it would be replaced with other problems, and there are those who believe (I'm not one of them) that the resulting problems would be worse... but the fact remains.

How would I recast your metaphor to be more like what Moglen is saying? No idea, since I think he's a crackpot and he's quite wrong, but it was fun thinking about it.
It's not that simple, an ARM board is not a PC, you don't have a BIOS for instance. Basically you have to write some glue to tell the kernel what and where are the devices and how to access them.

See for instance in Linux http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm for the various Board Support Packages available upstream.

Not to mention that while OpenBSD supports the ARM architecture it might not have drivers for all the IPs integrated in the SoC.

So basically, it won't be plug'n'play like installing a new OS on your new x86 computer, altho the amount of work required to get it to work might not be completely overwhelming if you know what you have to do (especially since the linux source code is available).
Mr. Moglen is well known to speak against and was asked to comment on the drawbacks of social networks. You are attacking a straw man if you complain that he isn't talking about the benefits.

Person A: Sunny days are good.
Person B: If all days were sunny, we'd never have rain, and without rain, we'd have famine and death. Therefore, you are wrong.
Problem: B has misrepresented A's claim by falsely suggesting that A claimed that only sunny days are good, and then B refuted the misrepresented version of the claim, rather than refuting A's original assertion.

You are picking a discussion that Mr. Moglen was not having.

The benefits of social networks are self evident - they enable communication in an unprecedented way. His argument is that the drawbacks he is talking about are unnecessary and dangerous and that some of the technology may seem useful, but is actually just thinly disguised non-social behavior ("keeping up" with somebody may border on "stalking"). You have not addressed any of his arguments while complaining that he didn't address points that nobody was discussing to begin with.

So yes, one more, final, time - your argument is a straw man.
I wasn't. It was reductio ad absurdum.
ICT is compulsory (as mentioned in the Guardian article, http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/jan/11/michael-gove-... ) so I presume this will be too.

the exam-board system is a mess, with boards competing (essentially) on who can make their exams the easiest and thus attract more business from schools

This is something I need to look into. I'll be buying one B when they are available anyway, but may get more depending on a few things including the OS question. The claimed "can play 1080p h264 video at 30fps" claim is most interesting to me, but if I slap Debian on there (which seems to be the suggested distro) will it be able to use that hardware video acceleration out of the box or will I need to jump through a few nasty hoops to get some proprietary chipset driver to cooperate?
Have you guys really been reading about the raspberry pi? The founder is an SoC architect at Broadcom, I'm sure they'll find a reputable and cost effective manufacturing partner with their industry contacts.
It's really not that simple.

If you do a lot of string manipulations, you're better off with either UTF-32 or dumbified (16-bit fixed) UTF-16, otherwise you will have to count characters from the beginning of the string every time you need to access the nth character within the string. Moreover, if you deal with a text with a lot of characters between 0x0800 and 0xFFFF (e.g. East-Asian languages) you're much better off with UTF-16 as you will save a whole byte per character.

No; the issue isn’t the functionality - it’s the fact that it’s Google’s own product that is being pushed.

I thought the issue was that when searching for an article it gave greater prominence to people from ones circles talking about the article than the article itself. As much as I value my friends' experience, I'd like to read the article myself, and maybe see their opinion appear lower down, if at all.

Anyway. I've switched my browser default search to duckduckgo and its working quite well.

On one hand, I feel your pain. On the other hand, cost and value are not the same thing, and so aren't value and market price.

If you do something and what you do costs much more than the market value of its output, make sure it's not your job. Hobbies usually fall in this category.
SPRINGHILL GROUP COUNSELLING-Aquatic therapist arrested on Medicare fraud charge
A Pompano Beach occupational therapist who used swimming to treat stroke victims and other patients has been arrested on a charge of falsely billing Medicare by $586,000, federal court documents show.

Sorel Boots For Men's And Women's
I'm not sure the many hours I spend 10+ years ago learning vim are really worth it, when compared to the amount of time I saved during editing. However:

1. I had a consistent editing experience for those 10+ years, and expect to have it for decades to come - vim is everywhere, and it works the same everywhere (well at least if you stay away from things that may not be time-proof, like plugins that rely on Python support). It gives me peace of mind - it's a stable factor amongst things that tend to change every 6 months, usually for no good reason.

2. I have a comfortable editing experience, one that is so ingrained that it has become transparent (meaning, I don't notice it any more, like a good pair of shoes that are so comfortable you don't notice wearing them). When I use Visual Studio on a machine with no Viemu installed, there is this continuous nagging feeling that the editing is so sub-optimal. Again I don't know if the time I spend learning vim is objectively justified when compared to the annoyances of the editing in 'plain' editors, but it certainly made for a great quality of life improvement.

I got to go everywhere I wanted to go with my old Citroen, and it was (quite a bit) cheaper than the BMW I drive now, but I still very much like the BMW's improved comfort and joy of driving. Is it objectively a net for me to drive a BMW? I suspect not, the objective marginal value I get out of it over the Citroen is low, but it's worth the money (where for the sake of comparison with vim, money = time) to me.
I'd never heard it in quite those terms before, but that echoes the way that my generation might consider e-mail to be for talking to friends and physical letters to be "formal".
These days, as soon as a CEO goes on stage to present his disruptive product, and does it in a customer-oriented rather than shareholder-oriented way (casual vocabulary, no tie), he's deemed Jobsian.

That's obviously a gross reduction of what Job's Way was, but it is Job's most enduring legacy to the corporate communication world.

Besides, being "rude, aggressive, partisan, almost violent" sounds hardly un-jobsy, although he tamed it down during keynotes.

There is some bunch searching, but most of the document doesn't get searched, and the bits which get searched aren't searched for most of the keyphrases.

Instead of:

For phrase in keyphrases:

This

For word in document:
Some_phrases = get_keyphrases_starting[word]
if document.next_5_words.find(some_phrases)

Instead of searching 100,000 keyphrases in the whole document, this searches 10 rest-of-sentences in the 5 words following a mention of 'phospholipid', 18 rest-of-sentences in the 3 word following 'proteomerase' and nothing in the text about the lab temperature, and never touches most of the keyphrases at all for the document.

They might manage to convince them to use some Chromebooks, too. They still seem to be pretty expensive at around $400, though. I wish they made them based on ARM already. I wonder if they are just waiting for the arrival of Cortex A15 before they replace Atom. Samsung should have a dual core 2 ghz Cortex A15 processor in Q2.

Learning emacs has been something I've been pushing back for too long. Currently I'm a Vim user but I'm deeply unsatisfied with the way it integrates to my other tools like debuggers and build systems. Emacs is far superior when it comes to this, even the best of Vim plugins are not as good.

But I like the Vi input model so much that I want to be able to use it in Emacs. I've understood that "evil" is the preferred Emacs-Vi-input layer these days (instead of viper or other alternatives). I'm going to use Emacs 24.

Any suggestions for migrating from Vim to Emacs?
That's a remarkably smart thing for a politician to say about computing education.

I had to check, but that quote was actually from Ian Livingstone.

I'm very pleased he is so heavily involved. In fact, I don't think any of this would be happening without the backing of industry leaders and their complaints. Kids and teachers themselves have been complaining at least since 2005 when I was exposed to "IT education" in school but that obviously wasn't sufficient reason to take action.
I guess he only uses his camera, lens and PC once and then throws them away.

Not sure about UK, but in the Netherlands, volunteers often get a "costs reimbursement". If you're a full time volunteer, that reimbursment may roughly equal a crappy salary. Maybe that's what Liz is getting, too.

It'd be nothing like what she could earn in industry, but enough to keep a roof over her head and food on the table. And a Raspberry Pi in every room.
There are certainly people willing & able to teach programming, but most of them are not currently teachers, and many IT teachers would probably struggle to teach programming effectively.
The article suggests that they want to make this change in the next academic year, so where are the teachers going to come from?

I remember I did something similar (although much less sophisticated) in the 90s; I'd write a small program to switch into VGA mode 0x13 and just load a file into the 320x200 framebuffer at 0xa0000. Even with just the default VGA palette, identifying areas of interest and patterns was quite possible.

Nice writeup(s) and interesting approach with the entropy calculations!
I don't think you can realistically setup an IRC server in an hour, at least not your first time, not with SSL, NickServ, ChanServ, etc. It will probably take more than an hour just to pick an IRC server and find the documentation. Almost all IRC servers were designed to run public IRC networks, each public IRC network has forked and re-forked the original IRCd from 1988. They tend to lack features that are expected of online services these days, e.g., user accounts and access controls. You can usually set a server-wide password, and channel keywords, but that's different than having individual usernames and passwords, with individual access control to channels. So then you need a NickServ and ChanServ, which are separate from the IRC daemon. Then the logging bot, and the web archive of the logging, and access control to the web archive. And a web client so you can easily invite first-timers into a discussion. It's way more than an hours work. Then you are paying $20/month to Linode, and someone has to maintain it with security updates, and backups, and documentation on how to redo all the configuration. That's a lot of time when you could just pay $50/month to Grove. $50/month is one regular coffee a day, it's not much money.
What utter nonsense.

> * As someone mentioned, THIS single photo didn’t cost me $6,612, but if you wanted to create it, from scratch, that is what is involved. So I consider it the replacement value if it’s stolen, or how much my lawyer will send you a bill for if it’s found being used without my permission.*

I hope he's never pirated a film or he could owe the studio millions and millions of dollars.

He should be arguing that it is expensive to take photos, and that any sales of them need to add up to cover initial and future costs. He should also be arguing that they are paying not just for the expense of taking it, but for his skill and time.

By arguing that one photo is worth that much, he is doing neither and looks like a moron.
While I agree that sharing and opening up data etc. is important (not only to profit from it as start ups, but primarily for science itself), I don't think this 'one library' idea is practically possible. Different fields use different categorizations, and for good reasons. I don't see the need for 'one size fits all'. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to make similar data sets more compatible, but often data was collected for different reasons and by using slightly, but crucially different experimental designs.

Furthermore, research and knowledge is always changing and today's categorization might have to be broken up tomorrow.

>> Ethics aside, it's also bad strategy, and just won't work. If you're obligated to give up your car before writing about global warming, or obligated to become a vegan before writing about animal cruelty, or obligated to take monastic vows before writing about conflict in domestic relationships -- then you'll probably never write about any of these issues. And that won't help anybody, will it?

I find Moglen's absolutist point of view on this issue refreshing.

You're not obligated to give up your car or go vegan to write about certain issues, but you're a hypocrite if you don't acknowledge your own contribution to a problem.

Two examples:

Al Gore did a great job spreading the word about global warming, but he still has a larger carbon footprint than most Americans (it's well-documented).

Jonathan Safran Foer became vegan when he researched and wrote his book "Eating Animals" about animal cruelty.

We need more people like Foer, do we not?
