Can you flesh out your statement a bit?

You distinguish between security updates and OS updates. I'm not aware of any difference, an update is an update. I've never seen an OTA update that wasn't a point release. How are these deployed differently?

I think that more and more software is becoming a means to sell your hardware. I would assume that Nvidia wants to utilize as much of the community as possible to push the next wave of Linux based mobile devices. They aren't really making money off the software anyway, so I doubt it would hurt them to open-source that and it can help them to push their products on more linux based devices.

Yes and no. While I browse with JavaScript disabled, I have whitelist. Chrome v8 has a feature which allows you to prevent execution of scripts from a particular domain.

I've blacklisted all ad networks from executing and JavaScript but I maintain a strict whitelist which means that sites such as Facebook, Google, and any site which I browse and immediately see is broken is added to my whitelist.

When I browse a page, I can have conditional execution of the JS code, meaning that JS from 3 domains will run, but the 9 tracking JS code from all the ad networks won't run.

It's like the best of all worlds. Adnetworks can't fingerprint me, and they have to rely on cookies, plus my browsing is a hell of a lot faster because I don't have all the unneccessary JS downloading and running.
Shortly after 9/11 I was serving with the Royal Marines and we were deployed to Sierra Leone. The RAF required us to turn in our leathermans/pocket knives prior to the flight... I can't even comprehend the thinking behind this.

1) Were we some form of hijack risk?
2) If 100 marines are some sort of hijack risk, is taking their folding pair of pliers away from them going to anything at all to mitigate that risk?

CYA and security theatre are the worst combination.

Would be very interesting to do a multi-faceted psychological analysis/profile on people like this. I am curious what makes them tick.

I myself have some very intense sides of my personality, but I've always channeled it into productive pursuits. When I was younger I daydreamt of being a nefarious black hat hacker, but I soon realized that startups, lifestyle design, social dynamics and personal development are far more rewarding ways of hacking reality :)

Worse. We put the bases in Iraq specifically to get them out of Saudi Arabia. I.e. we explicitly gave Osama what he said he wanted.

The troops were in Saudi Arabia to contain Iraq. The way to get them out was to overthrow Saddam. Invading Iraq was therefore a sort of appeasement campaign.
That makes more sense, thanks!

Here's the version I get if anyone's curious:

Well because most western nation still look up to amerika (because once the where the prime nation in the world) and copy them, other then that amerika is extreamly agressiv in pushing there policies into other nations.

So most of these stupid rules flow into other nations too. To other western government I would say stop listen and looking to amerika. If you want to look somewhere look at the countries that work well.

For Drugs look to Portugal, For democracy look to Switzerland, For Prisons look to Norway, ..., and trie to improve upon it. There is almost nothing I would copy from amerika if I would "create" a new country.

I don't understand all these comments about Objective-C being hard.

Maybe it is because I am programming computers since the Z-80 days, or because like it is expected in my country I did a good earned CS degree.

If you think using a language like Objective-C is hard, maybe you should not be programming at all.

Also, as of a few years ago, the only performance-related reason why the JVM wasn't a popular language for desktop GUI apps was startup time.

I don't think so. Besides startup time, Swing was always slow --an over-engineered mess. For some Java people it was always "fast enough in the latest version" (like for some Linux people it was always "the year Linux wins over the Desktop"), but even the best Swing UI had perceptible lags over a bog standard native. Heck, even SWT that's half-native has huge GC related lags in Eclipse.

Swing also had the uncanny valley effect, trying to mimic native UIs. And even when they tried to bypass the issue with custom l&f like Alloy et al, they couldn't, because the uncanny value is mostly due to how the controls BEHAVE and not with their style (that's why in, say, OS X, you can use apps styled like Aqua and others styled like Metal at the same time and you don't get the "uncanny valley" effect).
Here is an interesting graph http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/26/2826022/android-fragmentat...

Eclair took about 9 months to peak, Froyo about a year, Gingerbread still looks like it hasn't peaked about 15 months since release.

To fix fragmentation, you want everybody on the same page. If they are releasing new features each major version, then I suppose this means you want them on the same major version.

At this rate, you will not see progress until maybe Q2 2013 when everybody is releasing ICS phones.

Of course i'm exaggerating, I've worked in software for 10 years and never had any of those. Until about 3 months ago I didn't have a twitter account. I've never been out of work.

Well, from my limited experience with Objective-C a few things made it hard.

The first is the traditional Cocoa pattern of a method that does useful things, which looks like this:

- (void)beautifullyNamedMethodFor {
void* ugly_ptr_type; // and around 45 more
CFObscurePtrRef* .. = CFObscureObsoleteFunction(NULL, NULL,.....); // 56 arguments
// to the callback omitted for brevity
...*....(*foo)...->(*x++);
// and so one - with 45 lines of NULL ptrs passed as void* to CF calls
// juggled and incremented ad absurdum until your eyes bleed.
}

So on the surface it's a beautiful Smalltalkish thing, while down below it's usually all hairy C, pointers and null-terminated strings and Core Foundation callbacks right out of MacOS 7 (especially if you want anything useful to be done that is not in Cocoa by default). This always seemed to me to be a deception in a way.

Another pet peeve of mine is the same agony of choice that is object variables (pointers versus values). When I want to return something or declare a variable, even when I am in the rose-tinted-glasses Cocoa world of beautifully-named methods, classes and keyword arguments I still have to put the dreaded death star in front of just the right things (and to remember NOT to put it in front of exactly proper other things).

So I guess for me the most problematic Objective-C part is the one that has to do with C (because it adds a level of complexities on top of C). The "Objective" part is actually very nice, once you get used to the call syntax and the brackets.

Furthermore the zipball has the play version as "2.0-SNAPSHOT", so you have to change that in framework/build if you want to fetch the released 2.0-RC2 binaries

Understanding the “improved” in VIM - Super User Blog
Agreed.

I think we can be more purist still: menu-driven UIs are not really command line either. MH has a truly command-line UI for mail, while the mail program doesn't.

Some years back, I spent a couple of days trying to use ed for some serious text preparation work before I decided this was not the kind of experiment one should do when better tools are available and real work needs to be done. Using nmh (an MH reimplementation) used to be a pleasure, until its clumsy handling of HTML (quite a bit worse than mutt) began to overwhelm the whole user experience.

You might want to visit Iceland, then. Modern Icelandic is very similar to Old Norse and to a lesser extent to Old English. The pronunciation has changed a little since the 10th century.

And there are other things to enjoy, such as outdoors thermal pools. You could strike up a conversation about the language with local people in a "hot pot" (heitur pottur), as we call the outdoors jacuzzies. :)
I wonder how much of this is actually down to the OS vs the apps.

For example, I have a very cheap Android phone. It's not the best, but it does a good job. But lately I've noticed that some of the apps are running much slower now after some recent updates - Maps, Twitter, Angry Birds and esp Facebook.

All these need to work in harmony to get the best overall experience, but at the same time work well for the lowest common denominator (me in this case!)

I had to wait more than 10 months for official Gingerbread to come to my Galaxy S (Epic 4G), but in the case of ICS not even the Nexus S 4G is on board yet so I wouldn't really fault Samsung or be so quick to buy a Nexus device in this case.

Depending on which Galaxy S you're on, look into CM9. Despite its early stages, it's amazingly stable. I've been on ICS without any problems for awhile now.
Huh? After joining up, broadcom produced the "brcmsmac" driver, which is now part of mainline, and modern broadcom devices typically work out of the box. Broadcom joining the Linux Foundation certainly had a lot of effect. It's just that these things take time. If nVidia makes the call that they are going to support OSS drivers today, it would likely take at least a year before anything percolated up to normal users.

Indeed, there are weird side-effects.

A man tries to set fire to plastic explosive in his shoes, so long queues form (in airports) for people to remove their shoes.

Intelligence comes in about liquid / gel / paste explosives, so now those long queues have to abandon any liquids / gels / pastes in bins, near those long queues, inside an airport. Those "potential explosives" are not allowed on a plane, but are allowed to be left for hours (days?) near lots of people in an airport.

By kludging in a filter for every known attack that's been tried you force the people doing the screening to concentrate on improbable situations. How many people have tried to use exploding shoes?

Better would be to give screeners a lot of training (and pay them appropriately) to look for "other stuff", other signs that a person might be a terrorist. Preferably that other stuff would have good research to support it.

Java/C# don't need a language extension - the functionality exists outside the semantic boundary of the language. Another cludge in Objective-C.

It does not change his point. Many Windows users are not regularly applying security patches or upgrading to the latest Windows version, making the Windows ecosystem fragmented, yet this did not prevent it from becoming a market leader on desktops, with a large Windows development economy flourishing and producing apps compatible with many different Windows versions and service pack levels.

For the same reason, Android fragmentation is a non-issue.
