Nice conspiracy theory, but it ignores one extremely important point: Football is a sport, not a technological arms race. They won't allow iPads and LCD visors for the same reason they won't allow jetpacks and rocket shoes: it wouldn't be a sport anymore.

Not to mention the fact that iPads don't have the power to analyze such large volumes of information in a useful time frame anyway. Getting all that info through an iPad would require communication with some outside computing power, which they could accomplish with their headsets already if it were allowed.
plebd: new, experimental file sharing service, coming soon
Indeed, and this goes for home backups too. You never know something is there unless you test recovering it.

For example: Apple's Time Machine seems like a slick, safe way to backup your entire hard drive. And, you can use it to transfer the entire old drive to a new drive. But, if there is an I/O error reading any of the files on backup, it will simply skip that file, and the only indication of a problem is in the /var/log/system.log. It can skip the file for months... eventually reaching the point where any older backup where the file was successfully read is aged out. And even on recovery: the file was skipped, so there's no indication it's even missing. Only when an app needs it is there any indication that months of backups, and a supposed full-recovery, had silent failures.
There's no way to avoid technology, it will catch up to them whether they want it or not. This is the same mentality that Hollywood has up until now and is now catching up to them - as we all know too well.

come to think: perhaps teleporting is not possible at all. otherwise, why, if you believe in such, why would there be some info popping up here and there about UFO seeing. IF they would have technology to travel in space and live in planets we dont even see here, they would have use teleportation long time ago, instead of using just a plain dumb saucer :)

A hard drive with multiple partitions or another boot drive would be a good start.

A good tool for the Mac by the way (if you use OSX) is "Super Duper" which will clone your hard drive. Then you can simply pick the cloned drive as your boot drive and if it boots you will know you have a good backup.

That is how I test that my backup works.

http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription...

When I was recently traveling I took several pocket hard drives with clones of my laptop drive so if the drive failed (or the laptop failed) I could hook the hard drive up to another laptop (one rented or purchased) and boot from that.
Without duplicate hardware (at least a duplicate hdd), obviously you can't test restoring a bare metal OS environment without some risk.

For business purposes where maximum performance is not so critical, running necessary apps in a VM avoids the problem you describe.
If you watch enough football, you get to see that playcalling isn't everything. You can call a winning game and the receivers will still drop passes or the linebackers will still make poor tackles or the quarterback will still overthrow the receiver.

The phrase "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission" is attributed to Grace Hopper[1], who developed the first compiler(!) and is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches.

The phrase has always resonated with me and I was blown away to see that it originated with a pioneer in computer science.

I would group "My Feeds" and "Add Feeds" into a single page "Manage Feeds" because having one page to add feeds and one which essentially only lets you delete them is a bit much.

also the default action on clicking a link title should be open the link not expand the box. Most of the time I would want to click the top few links, have them load in the background and then browse through them, having to click the open link button or expand and click seems a bit convoluted.
"that restores (and the testing of said restores) is what is essential"

Not sure if it's true or urban legend but I remember reading a story about 15 years ago about tape backups being left on the seat of a car with heated seats. When they finally needed them they had been erased by the electric current in the seats. (That's the rough story that I remember at least).
....I thought this was sarcasm. The issue you mention is with the software, not the OS.

*Not only that but the post is 2 years old. What gives?
Last December I submitted a Forbes article, "Lightscrewed: How Washington Whipped Phil Falcone"(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3382580) which described the big money politics on both sides, and also mentioned the economic argument that LightSquared wouldn't have gotten such a deal on their spectrum purchase if the GPS interference problem hadn't been obvious to anyone who did their EE due diligence.

I suspect there's a lot of money being spent on PR to get these articles out there.
CrypTweet: Strong Encryption for Twitter
I think I'm going to do exactly that. Spring Break is coming up, I've got no other plans and I'm sitting on a bunch of airline miles that could get me to SF for free, plus I've got friends in the area I could probably crash with.

Any tips on networking there? I grew up in the Bay so I know my way around but I have no idea where to start meeting people.

I had a problem with time machine that caused me to stop using it.

When I switched (think it was under 10.5) from regular to filevault it stopped doing backups.

I happened to pay attention to the time that it took and noticed it seemed extremely quick.

I decided (as I mentioned in another reply here) to use Super Duper which makes a clone of your hard drive and is easy to verify (just boot from the cloned drive).
My thoughts on "20 Things I learned" by The Google Chrome Team
Actually, there is much more co-operation than is visible. Almost all the groups share the same libraries, same bugfixes, same patches, etc., which typically will account for much of the user experience.

The different language approaches will typically compete on things like syntax, speed, etc., and this leads to innovation and cross-pollination of ideas. I personally prefer to have some choice, and use a number of languages for scientific computing myself - but I guess too much choice makes things confusing for the newcomer.
Man, Godaddy pulled a similar trick on me. It was totally our fault that we screwed up our server, and things were in a limbo. Their advise was to provisionne a new server. I asked them about the data, they told me it was gone, and that's why I need to backup. I had to fight back and forth and ensure we didn't provisionne a new server. They were CONVINCED the data was gone. After a small fix from our end, the data was back and everything ok. Had I followed their advise, one year of daily work would have been poof gone. Incompetent.

Not using OSX, but I do have an external drive that I might be able to make bootable backups on if I can find the right tools. Sounds like a useful trick regardless.
> "You are directly responsible of what you put in your mouth everyday, and how much of it."

Well, yes, technically. Of course, you're conveniently forgetting about the effects of pricing, geographic proximity (seen many organic produce stands on skid row lately?), culture, education, and most importantly: time.

> "Most of the obese epidemic is lifestyle related"

And yes, you're right, but only in the most technical and of ways. Of course the obesity epidemic is lifestyle-related, but that's not what we're on about. We're on about a system that punishes healthy lifestyles and makes them unreasonably difficult for the poor to attain - harder than any of us pansy-ass rich folk have to contend with.

Let's re-enumerate very quickly:

1 - Eating too much is not the issue. Eating too much of the wrong things is the issue.

2 - Unhealthy foods are cheaper than fresh fruits, veggies, and meat by an almost comically large margin. This is due to a number of causes, most saliently massive government subsidization of unhealthy food industries.

3 - Time is the scarcest resource, and the poor have the least of it, and the least to spare towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle (which, despite what you might insist, is a time-intensive activity).

3a - The poor are disadvantaged in choice of living space. My commute is an order of magnitude shorter than what it'd be from the nearest poor suburb. I pay for the privilege, and it earns me easily an extra 1.5h each day.

3b - The poor are disadvantaged in transportation. While most people simply hop on a car between A and B, the American poor spend an enormous amount of time navigating the clusterfuck that is North American public transit. Here in SF, even with its good-by-American-standards transit system, transit anywhere takes about twice as long as it does in car.

3c - The poor are disadvantaged in just sheer lifestyle. You might live next to a nice park where you can jog after work - what do the poor have except crime-ridden streets?

This is the thing I can't stand about this line of argument, not only does your position fail to account for the many, many ways the cards have already been stacked against the poor, but it also fails to appreciate just how many natural advantages you and I enjoy in every day life. It's a combination that really irks me: the failure to appreciate one's own good fortune, and conversely the willingness to blame others for not having such good fortune.

Side note: time really is the deciding factor in just about anything poverty-related. Part of the reason for the persistence of homelessness (disregarding even bigger fish like mental health and substance abuse) is that the homeless spend the majority of their day queuing for resources. They spend hours lining up for a meal. They spend even more hours lining up for a bed. 98% of their waking hours is spent ensuring the status quo (i.e., homeless, but unlikely to die tonight), with nothing left to make actual, lasting improvements. This same problem applies to the poor and dietary habits.

> How you jumped from there to your Golden Uterus Complex joke, I don't know.

Someone else's comment on the photo bridged that gap. Don't recall the comment. But you're right, there's a difference between "my child, butt out" and "you haven't birthed a child, butt out". The former can definitely be done by any parent. In practice, the latter is exclusive to mothers. And I can somewhat relate to the former — people can be too nosy with other people's kids. So that doesn't seem to bother me as much, as long as they aren't endangering the child. But the latter is really arrogant and dismissive. Furthermore, it perpetuates the idea that child care is the mother's job. If we want to address the issue of women being underrepresented in the workplace, we have to get away from that "Daddy works, Mommy is a mommy" vestigial 1950's attitude. Male dominated workforces need to be friendly and more welcoming to women, and at the same time female dominated parental arrangements need to be more friendly and accommodating of other caregivers.

> However, I don't believe it had any place in a public twitter feed that also contains technical-related stuff and therefore may get followed by people who don't know you personally.

I don't want to play a persona on my Twitter account. It's not like there are two people — WordPress me and personal me. It's just me. If you follow me on Twitter, you get it all. May FSM have mercy on my followers if Rick Santorum wins the GOP nomination, because it's going to be all "oh HELL no" all the time on Twitter. :-)
Religion isn't hijacking the word, it's their word, you seem to be the one hijacking it. You can't take your own personal definition of word and expect to communicate well. That we're even having this discussion proves that. Worse, you admit to using the word for its emotional impact and seem proud that deceiving a Christian by using it would work, this utterly intellectually dishonest.

I doubt it.

For example, there was a famous study a few years ago showing that NFL teams punt way too often. (http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/17/a-new-study-on...). It didn't seem to have much effect on play-calling. Being conventionally wrong appears to be safer for coaches than being unconventionally correct.

Of course there are exceptions. To their credit, the Patriots let the Giants have a free touchdown near the end of the Super Bowl, rather than letting them run the clock out. An obvious tactic to most Madden players, but not one you see much in the pros, because That's Not The Way It's Done. And Belichick is one of the few coaches with the job security to do things his own way.
A few things (I will attempt to answer them as I see the answer now, so please correct me if you disagree):

1. What is your monetization method?

Either you are data mining docs for gold you can sell off, or you're simply looking to flip the business once a million users are registered. Without a valid monetization pre-factored, your business idea will fail. The days of going ??? -> PROFIT! ... are over.

2. What are you offering that is any different than Drop Box, for example?

Nothing, except that users can only upload documents. My guess is there are some major size limitations and archives (the most used necessity) probably aren't allowed.

3. Why is it free?

My guess here is that you made it free so that someone who wants to monetize the idea will come along and buy it from you. That's the root of what's wrong with the Internet today, tbh. Free services are useless to everyone except very broke people and you don't want those folks as your target audience BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MONEY.
> Your entire argument seems predicated on the idea that the US tax code has something to offer that the typical European tax code does not.

You read too much into this. I don't know that much about the European tax code.
Based on my experience with end users I wouldn't call his behavior moronic. I would say it's about average.

We regularly have people who go into their accounts and change dns without realizing what that means. They only know that either the web "guy" or the new host told them to do that. Or they read they should do that in the setup instructions.

They may not have purchased email service at the new host and they think that everything will just work.

Many times if they speak to 1st level tech support at the new host they don't know enough to even know what will or will not happen with a dns server change.
You think that's expensive, think of all the military gps units that would need to be replaced. Do you have any idea how much one military-grade gps unit costs? Probably more than all the civilian gps units on your whole block combined. And just about every military vehicle in production has at least one. Aircraft have 2-3. Then there are the commercial gps units in airplanes, which also have redundancy requirements.

There is no chance that LightSquared will get their way. The cost to the military (taxpayers) would be stupendous.
Is this the case even in the latest versions of the OS and Time Machine?

I see an small app opportunity here.
No I don't really find it interesting, if you read the comments you would see someone else had an issue with renewing on the app store.

The blog not only doesn't go into any 'background information', but it reads like a bad experience mixed with a shameless plug.

There are no juicy details to get excited about; nothing thought provoking. The only interesting detail I could find is that people really do tell more people about their bad customer experiences then their good customer experiences.

There isn't any more noise in the spectrum they bid on than any other unused portion.

They purchased the spectrum to be used for satellite communications. There was an FCC loophole that allowed them to supplement satellite communications with terrestrial signals in certain cases. They decided to move ahead with a FULL terrestrial system. They decided to bet large - and lost.

Any EE could have shown the blasting a signal literally billions of times stronger in an adjacent band would completely kill functionality of devices that rightfully would never ever have expected to need to design for it.
In addition, its also possible that the NFL does not want the best possible and perfect game. The unpredictability and human element makes for more exciting games. That's one of the reasons why they too so much time to make video replays standard in games (and mandatory in the last 2 mins).

CrypTweet: Strong Encryption for Twitter DMs
It's been a while in the making, but this is well worth some attention.

I've been lucky enough to be an early tester on CrypTweet - http://plexusproject.org/ - a public-key based method for encryption of Twitter DMs.

A base version is now available on the site linked above. It works nicely out of the box, but is kind of raw - minimal functional set, and all that.

For anyone interested in this kind of thing, for any number of reasons, may I (mis)quote that great Australian music commentator, Ian "Molly" Meldrum, and suggest you do yourself a favor by checking CrypTweet out.
