There's another bit that nobody has brought up: no author ever ends up owning the entirety of his or her work. If I write a book for Harper Collins, I am not allowed to reproduce or distribute that content via any channel not approved by them, and they give much worse than a 70/30 cut.

As hackers, we are debating these books as if they are software, but remember that they are products at the intersection of two industries, and publishers have had authors in restrictive and less-than-lucrative contracts for a long time.
The latter but that is what Dropbox does. See claims 21-24 @ http://www.scribd.com/doc/78786408/Mega-Indictment

Megaupload took DMCA requests in the form of URLs (21), URLs allow access to a certain MD5 sum indexed file on their CDN (22), they would disable specific URLs to comply with DMCA requests while leaving others active rather than removing the file from their CDN (23) however if the material was child pornography/terrorism they had the ability to actually delete files and all their links (24)

LinuxExplorer
This script will help you explore files on linux.

Just type the command and then any regex you'd like to search. By default it searches filenames and excludes class and other data files. It looks recursively down from your current directory. Then it presents a list of results and lets you type a number to select one for opening in vim.

After quitting vim you come back to your results and can continue opening files or execute a new search. To exit type 'x' or ctrl-c.

If you'd like to search through file contents, use the '-c' flag.

The 90 million figure refers not to active users, but to the total number of people who have created Google+ accounts.)
That article is about a guy who shared legally ripped music over the Internet. Big difference. I don't think this is as legally fuzzy a topic as you make it sound.

There is no way this can be real, is there?
I've thought through similar scenarios multiple times, and then when I am about to post any of them online, I realize my post would probably be read by any competent investigator and it would be turned into an additional premeditation-based charge.

It definitely sucks having to consider how my comments will be construed in the future and what rights may be retroactively taken away due to intense lobbying and legislative ignorance.

The best error messages are simple, explain the problem, and how to fix it.

It's frustrating to see 'Windows Update failed: Error code 0xXYZABC123' - that's no help to me.

Or see an error about 'A problem occurred trying to do this and that' with no recourse.

A better approach is "There was a problem saving your file. There may not be enough disk space free. Try deleting files you don't need anymore to make more space," (etc) that gives the user a way to try and fix it without being so frustrated.

I'm guilty of some useless error messages, but I try and make sure any error messages I write from now on try to be helpful to get the user back on track to what they wanted to be doing.

> I think most of the git vs. mercurial debates are non-productive because proponents of one tool don't know the other tool well enough to argue against it.

You hit the nail on the head there. I wouldn't claim at all to know git well, despite having used it in numerous projects. On the other hand I felt like I "knew" Mercurial from the moment I picked it up. I've never written code to work around a problem (as the article suggests), and typically on the few occasions I've had problems I've remedied them by using Mercurial commands I already knew without even needing to look up documentation.

Opinions are clearly divided between two tools that perform the same task in very different ways. You can't please all of the people all of the time, long may both continue. More productive for everyone in my opinion would be ensuring bridge projects like hg-git become first-class citizens of the DVCS world.

Ah well alright then.

I see music as an interesting situation. It is legal to rip music (Google/Amazon both have cloud services) and multiple users could easily rip and upload identical files. However it wouldn't be legal to share that ripped file. In that case you'd want the infringing file to still exist but only be accessible to the user(s) who uploaded it.

Property rights in the digital age sure is complicated. :(
>They are going after "copyright infringers" like they are some kind of drug cartel leaders.

And thus far they're about as effective at impeding my access to copyrighted content as they are impeding my access to illegal drugs. Fortunately trying to limit access to copyrighted material doesn't drive people's money to possibly terrorist organizations, but that's another issue.
thats why I never downloaded i single music file, never ripped a CD, and wrote this post from my work's network, just in case.

I've always found that story really interesting, for a number of reasons. For instance, was Khan obviously the right person to take responsibility for that problem? Maybe the story is an illustration that saying "somebody go take care of this" is less effective than assigning a particular individual to take care of it.

Additionally, the lobbying groups aren't about to stop lobbying suddenly. It just means that they need to try harder. I wouldn't be shocked in the least to find some well funded senator trying to slide some of the language from this bill into a "must pass" 10,000 page budget bill.

What's scary enough is that some of this will get through in some way or another eventually.

Everything except the parts about storing payment data. In a nutshell:

- Install and maintain a firewall

- Lock down system users, groups, passwords and default settings of your services

- Use encryption

- Use and update anti-virus software

- Restrict access to your systems and have auditable logs of all access to your systems, physical and digital

- Have unique identifiers for all people with access to your systems, so that those audits are meaningful

- Log and monitor all network access to your systems

- Have, distribute, and regularly test your physical, network and information security policies

- Fill out a self-assessment questionnaire attesting you meet all these requirements

- Have your server scanned by a 3rd party compliance company every 3 months

To pass the compliance scans, you will have to maintain all services on your servers at the latest versions or provide evidence that you have applied patches covering all known security flaws, among other things. The scans are not cheap and have to be made by a provider approved by PCI. SecurityMetrics charges $699 per year to do them quarterly.

By signing up with Stripe you are agreeing that you're taking care of this already.

> You agree that at all times you shall be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) and the Payment Application Data Security Standards (PA-DSS), as applicable. You agree to promptly provide us with documentation evidencing your compliance with PCI DSS and/or PA DSS if requested by us. You also agree that you will use only PCI compliant service providers in connection with the storage, or transmission of Card Data defined as a cardholder’s account number, expiration date, and CVV2. You must not store CVV2 data at any time. Information on the PCI DSS can be found on the PCI Council’s website. It is your responsibility to comply with these standards.

https://stripe.com/terms

It's also important to realize that you can't meet all the requirements on shared or cloud hosting -- except Amazon EC2, which is AFAIK the only PCIDSS approved cloud. You really need your own server to be in compliance.

I think the iBook Author EULA is stupid and petty, but I think a lot of people are missing something important: It doesn't apply to works that are distributed for free.

Consider this in the context of Connexion (http://cnx.org/), which provides a community where people can share and curate CreativeCommons-licensed textbook modules.

Is the $8B (or whatever the number was) spent on textbooks annually actually money well spent? Most of the underlying content of most textbooks changes very slowly so the textbook publishers do what they can to generate churn so they can sell new versions.
I woundn't consider The Elements of Statistical Learning Theory a (very) basic book. It covers plenty of material in relatively good depth.

I suspect this is Google's intention, at least for now. It's basically fancy twitter. It doesn't have much in the way of personal communication mechanisms (although huddle was weird and I'm not sure why they thought anybody would use it).
As I experienced it, Szeliski's book is better as a reference as it covers lots of material (just see the number of citations at the end). I don't think it's an easy read without reading (some of) the cited papers (or having background knowledge).
Ha, I thought that was supposed to be an example of how to do it right
Every one of the links he provides about how to write good user-facing error messaging mentions that the error text should spell out what went wrong and what the user can do to fix it.

The problem with this advice is that in 2012, everything is on the web and problems either arise from network issues, database problems or bugs that can be patched into the live product in many cases. Therefore, the vast majority of users don't care what went wrong, largely because in most cases there's only one thing they can ever do to fix it: try again later. The example he uses to kick off his post - a GMail send failure - is a canonical example. Try again later.

As for error messages being too casual, with the showing of sad faces and big, bright usage of words like "Oops!" - it's because you have about a fiftieth of a second to communicate to the user that something went wrong and they're seeing something that's not what they're supposed to be seeing. Literally, two words is too much; user study after user study has revealed that people simply don't read error messages and fruitlessly click "OK", either thinking there was no problem, or wondering if they did something wrong.

> Imagine for a moment that the next update to Xcode or GarageBand included EULA language similar to what the OP is complaining about. Would you defend it on the grounds you cite above, or not? And if not, why not?

The Xcode example is already a reality. If you produce an iOS app using Xcode, you have two choices: sell it for a price in the App Store and pay Apple a cut, or give it away.

I would not be at all surprised if the Xcode EULA contained language enforcing this now that you are no longer required to have an ADC account (free or otherwise) to download Xcode.

The greater point stands. If Apple had made iBooks Author only able to publish to the iBookstore, no one would have been surprised. It's their platform, and they do as they please. Don't like it, don't use it. I know a few publishers that are making this very judgement call right now: build our own web-based platform, or pay Apple's vig. Sure, they'd love to use Apple's tool for free. They'd also like to stop paying $1200 for Adobe's Creative Suite, but that's not happening either.
It's still a trap. When you copy and paste your content into the iBooks software, you instantly hand over all the distribution rights, as part of the terms of an EULA of a consumer product. Sure, this is the kind of thing that the record industry does if you sign your band over to them, but this is a consumer product we're talking about. This is far beyond what a consumer should expect from such software. If Apple wants exclusive distribution deals, it should make people sign for it so that both parties are completely aware of what they're getting into.

And the iTunes business model was never about exclusivity. You can buy most of the music on iTunes elsewhere. (There is some exclusive content, obviously, but it is the exception, not the rule.) And, most importantly, the deals negotiated to get music on iTunes are done the old fashioned way: as a mutual, signed agreement between Apple and the labels in question.
Oh, this is convoluted. Does "Apple Software existing on a computer" encompass both a computer on which it has been installed and a computer holding the iso? Is a copy of the iso on your hard-drive considered a machine-readable backup?

Vim is for coding. How does this work out on the iPad?

With a bluetooth keyboard and a charging dock or a stand, iPad is a great platform for Vim coding.

Does one edit remote files locally, and compile/run remotely? (the benefit is the editing feels instant - no keystroke latency.)

With Dropbox support this would be possible.

Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/iPhone terms?

There is no such term. The term used to be that you cannot bundle a compiler with your app, but even that has been lifted recently with Lua interpreter embedded in many games.
