And that is a good thing. I want both systems.
I did that. That's the one reason why I bought a Nexus S.

It's March, about 4 or so months after Android 4.0 launched. I still have 2.3 on my Nexus S, because of delays for my region and carrier.
It's not intended as a full replacement. It's about reducing your technology for a few days in order to get proficient in the console. The browsers are just because we all need google or hacker news sooner or later.
In the vein of "Don't attribute to malice..." this would be my vote for most likely explanation for the TSA and countless other changes in the US since 9/11. The longer I live, the more I'm convinced that much of human behavior, or even human history as a whole, can be largely summarized by two maxims: "nothing risked, nothing gained" and "those who have the most are willing to lose the least".

Edit: Also, regarding the pen... The full conversation was longer. My father was complaining that the "weapons" they were catching were likely all from upstanding citizens, and that the terrorists would have figured out how to get weapons on board regardless. Instead of making the plane safer, they were in fact making it easier for potential terrorists to take control. He remarked, though, that he wasn't worried because he had his pen (and mind you, this was an old-school solid metal fountain pen...possibly not lethal, but I wouldn't want to find out).

So many people forget that one very, very important factor in the 9/11 attacks was that almost everyone on the planet had been conditioned by decades of politically motivated plane hijackings that the proper course of action was to aquiesce to the hijackers every demand. In fact a friend whose mother was a flight attendent at the time told us that they received explicit training informing them to do just that! I doubt you could repeat 9/11 today, security theater or no...

a) it attracts developers and other content providers, and b) it is a reflection of device popularity (i.e. if a lot of people think it's a good device, there must be something to it).
It's all about context and trust. Without both it's all pretty meaningless.

This is something I've given a lot of thought to and I'm working on implementing such a system.

Here's hoping that theory keeps holding up to reality.
This is seriously great. Thanks!
I think you've misinterpreted the article somewhat.

The best way to rid yourself of "I have this hammer..." syndrome is to get rid of the hammer temporarily, and force yourself to use the alternatives for a while. That way you get to know them, and can recognize when they're a better choice than a hammer. After that you start using the hammer again, but now you can put it aside when you need to.

That's why the author suggests giving up your GUI-based tools for a short time.
The guideline is: if your method does something that the programmer should think twice about or shouldn't use without proper knowledge (e.g. didn't read the docs), use !. An incomplete case of usages:

- There is a safer alternative (e.g. mutating vs. non-mutating or skipped validation)
- It should only be called once in a process (e.g. Padrino.start!)
- It is non-reversible (many statemachine libraries use action! as the way to invoke state transitions, which might not be reversible)

This doesn't mean that every method needs to be suffixed by ! if it does something destructive. `delete` in the context of an ORM is standard, so it doesn't have a bang. The whole point of `pop` is to manipulate the receiver: no point in warning about it. IO is always destructive, so ! doesn't make sense either.
You really needed a throwaway to say that?

At any rate, calling yourself a hacker (Without chops to back it up if your using it in the heroes of the computer revolution sense.) to anyone who knows better is either some serious bragging, or braindead stupid depending on which definition you're using.

In fact, the last thing anyone who does stuff like Lulzsec should admit to being is a "Hacker" (Even if they mean it benignly.) because you can bet the farm that the first people the Feds look at are self described "Hackers". I just can't believe the kind of information these people leak about themselves. Doesn't "I trust you today, but not necessarily tomorrow..." mean anything to black hats?

EDIT: Saying anything about the state of the real world should be considered an incredibly bold release of entropy or invasion of privacy if the only thing that keeps you safe at night is your mask.

EDIT2: Sorry, thought the above quote was from Jeremy Hammond's blog. At any rate most of my points still stand from the hypothetical perspective of "If I were a blackhat..."

I pay for it (since they're right down the street, and I wanted to support them), but only ever use it while working on servers in a datacenter (with wifi for the phone) while wearing headphones -- for at-home listening, I prefer my own collection, and for driving or other mobile use, ATT coverage isn't good enough to keep it streaming.

Somehow I have a station per datacenter. A location-specific music service would be pretty awesome.
"...the FBI couldn't trace him via the Tor network..."

I honestly think they already knew who he was from his comments - by reviewing Sabu's chat logs they found he had slipped up and identified himself.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, we have no data either way. Tor may be secure, or it may not.

Take-aways seem to be:

1. IRC logs do not contain identifying info - unless you reveal youself

2. IRC active / away status leaks information about your schedule

3. Using multiple identities online works pretty well

4. Trusting criminals = fail

5. Committing federal crimes = fail

The FBI had a pretty solid case against him. By the time they were doing the IP sniffing and identifying Tor nodes, they already had the guy under 24/7 surveillance. It sounds like they were solidifying their case.

If this were hollywood, I bet he would have sensed the surveillance somehow - and tried to make a run for it. But it didn't sound like he had many friends who would have hidden him.

The weeks immediately following 9/11 were much worse than what we have now. I remember flying home for Thanksgiving, and literally everyone was setting off the metal detectors they had them tuned so high. The only reason I didn't was I had prepared by wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt and I had put everything from my pockets, except my ID and boarding pass, into my backpack.
2.2 and 2.3 currently represent about 90% of the market. From an API standpoint, these are very similar. Is iOS really that much less fragmented in real-world terms?

The dramatic variations in hardware are actually a much more interesting problem than the supposed issue of OS version fragmentation, IMO.

Mengatasi Insomnia Dengan Obat Insomnia Alami Xamthone Plus

Banyak penderita insomnia tergantung pada obat tidur dan zat penenang lainnya untuk bisa beristirahat. Semua obat sedatif memiliki potensi untuk menyebabkan ketergantungan psikologis berupa anggapan bahwa mereka tidak dapat tidur tanpa obat tersebut.

Selain faktor depresi, insomnia bisa juga akibat pengaruh minuman keras atau minuman yang banyak mengandung kafein, penggunaan obat tidur atau penenang dalam waktu lama, obat penurun tekanan darah tinggi golongan beta-blocker (seperti atenadol, madolol, dan propanodol), dan bisa juga disebabkan oleh adanya suatu penyakit atau akibat adanya permasalahan psikologis.
It has never been about real security. It's about the huge load of money that is funnelled through TSA who are set to spent it all, regardless of what they receive, on these magic wand devices or just angry personnel. Another reason is that security checks allow for arbitrary control of passengers. It's a powerful mechanism, just like a country with enough laws to make everyone guilty but where those laws are only enforced when "necessary", on a select few people. It's like legalized totalitarianism: all backed up by law and rules but the outcome is the same.
Plus it's outsourced to a third-party startup in some way.
I completely agree. Any society that is not inextricably, geographically entwined with a mortal enemy is corrupt, degenerate, and bankrupt. Essentially, a society worse than the enemy society, and it deserves to be purged from within to regain the primal purity it once possessed.
The problem is that even if one manufacturer really nails it, the overall market remains confusing and balkanized to both the developer and consumer unless that manufacturer is successful enough to drive out the alternatives.

The Benefits of Using WordPress for Web Design Services

> The main thing one needs to think about when coding an app in a load balanced environment is that there’s no guarantee that request ‘n+1′ is going to land on the same server as request ‘n’, so you need to handle sessions in a centralized/db manner so that the cookies in the browser link you up to the proper session regardless of what server you hit.

Instead of doing it in a centralized/db manner, Beaker allows sessions to be distributed client side:

It was one of the best things I learned last year.
I've seen the opposite trend, frequently:

Unless you're a customer of AT&T or Verizon (which I admit, are a lot), you likely:

1. Choose your own handset and ignore the carrier-provided ones

2. Purchase it from a number of quality retailers

3. I'm not too happy with Samsung phones, but they are popular among people in the group I'm talking about

So I sort of agree with you, that Samsung's not going to roll out Android 4 very fast. But their loyalty to US carriers is almost certainly dying.
Data Visualization of Corruption in India
Yes, very awesome. Makes implementation much easier. But having just removed a font from our web app to improve performance (download time and rendering time) I can't help but wonder if sprites aren't lighter weight than using a whole font when you only need a few icons.
That's too smart an idea. Get ready for four images instead of two. And then when somebody sneaks something past that, we'll go eight.
You are lucky that this thread is about a vaguely tech-related external topic. In any thread where money was at stake, you would be down-voted for making it more difficult for money and entrepreneurs to find each other.

In the future please limit your comments to topics relevant to the ongoing tech bubble and attendant charlatanism.
As an Android user and developer, there are really good points made here.

> Fragmentation
- This is a huge issue. The thing now is that at the last Google IO, Google made it clear that you must agree to update your devices in a timely fashion to the latest OS rev if they can run it.

> Backups
- This is also a big issue, although 4.x supports a secure, encrypted backup (as well as entire phone encryption) system

> Security
- This argument can be made for both platforms. Sure, Apple has an approval process, but they've had that slip before, and on apparently the worst possible things (most notably tethering apps and such)
- Unknown sources is turned off by default and usually discouraged from the end user toggling it

> Apps
- Agree. There isn't near as much effort put into designing solid apps on Android as there is on iOS.

Was there any financial bonus for the screeners to find the fake guns and bombs? For example, would a screener get $100 if they found one of these planted items?

I would think that would be a good way to reduce the failure rate. Or does the failure rate have more to do with limitations in equipment, rather than screening being a mundane job?

Virtualization management: What IT Admins should know
Given that Sabu is widely regarded as the de facto leader of lulzsec I'm very curious about how the Stratfor attack was planned and undertaken. If, as seems likely, the FBI knew about it before it happened that seems pretty serious. More so, if Sabu originated the idea for the attack and evangelized it to the group that raises the issue of entrapment.
Whether you're developing for high-trafficked web-apps or not, I believe the practice of Continuous Integration has become a common bare-minimum these days.

The tricky part when it comes to CI often occurs in the area of test automation, archiving the builds, building for different environment (UAT, STAGE, DEV, PROD), and to deploy it immediately after build (definitely hard if it involves database and migration).

Some CIs handle archiving the builds (Atlassian Bamboo comes to mind).

Some build system handles multiple builds for different configurations fairly straightforward and easy (Maven Profiles, Rails to some extend)

Automated-deployment is still a bit tricky to setup.

Certain category of test-automation is hard to do in CI (typically around JS, UI code, and functional testing). This particular area requires high-level of discipline from the development team. This is one of the reasons why some teams/companies prefer to use GWT instead of pure JS due to the known best practices and the work-around for "headless" front-end testing (or at least that was the case in the past, maybe the JS testing landscape has changed ever since).
If they _could_ track via tor, I highly doubt they'd tip their hand in such an obvious way. They'd use their tor-tracking abilities to get a suspect, then use this prior knowledge to assist with ordinary evidence-gathering. Or even not use it at all unless the intelligence gained was valuable enough to risk losing that source of information.

So, strangely, for app testing purposes, I actually own one of each model of iPhone and iPad ever made by Apple. The performance, as you said, certainly does vary. However, from my experience, there's been only one really bad moment: the iPhone 3G on iOS 4. I'd put the next worst as the original iPad on iOS 4.3 (it's better on iOS 5, actually), but even that was nowhere near as bad and still completely usable.

However, this is actually an interesting point about Android. While you might not get updates, you can be reasonably certain that it isn't going to break: if an update is going to run horribly on a device and carriers/manufacturers only update a few devices, you're probably safe. In contrast, on iOS, Apple uses code signing to actually enforce usage of the latest release — you simply cannot downgrade.

> A Price Observation
All of the even slightly cheaper phones are much worse than the iPhone when it comes to OS support, but it’s interesting to note that most of the phones on this list were actually not cheaper than the iPhone when they were released

The chart really doesn't quote pricing correctly. I'd prefer if he just used the un-subsidized cost. The subsidized costs are meaningless as different carriers charge radically different amounts. I bought a Sprint HTC Hero in Fall 2009. He claims it was a mere $20 cheaper than the iPhone; in reality I was paying at least $15 less per month than an ATT customer with an equivalent plan. Over the contract, that's $380 cheaper.
Personal feelings of course - not tested. I have a contact form on my site... but I use mailto links all the time as a reader - I have a protocol handler set up to use gmail by default and I think this will become more common.

I say yes, but maybe employ some tasteful iconography (stick an email icon right before or after the link, such as 'icon-envelope' from here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons - maybe use CSS :before or :after classes.)

This is a bit off topic, but the reason the TSA exists was out of the need to address the liability issue for airlines, not to make anyone safer. It would have been easy enough to just pass a law defining what level of security was needed (there are lots of very secure, private prisons, etc.) and then forcing the private firms to pass frequent breach attempts, etc. The problem with this is that it would result in far more secure (and time consuming) security screening procedures.

Around the same time as the TSA was created, the government became the insurer of last resort for terrorism related claims over $1B. This was to avoid the inevitable consequence -- in order to be able to buy insurance against terrorism, airlines would have had to prove to the insurance company that they had reasonable security measures. This would mean a 15-20 minute screening for each passenger, etc. In other words, air travel as we know it would have ended.

The simple alternative? Let the government hire the workers and "outsource" the security duty from the private airports and airlines. Nobody is going to successfully sue the government for allowing an attack to occur, and now that it's outside the scope of responsibility of the airlines, the insurance companies are willing to insure against the remaining risk. The $1B ceiling was basically a handout to the insurance industry offered in exchange for bearing a lot of extra risk for free while the government got its act together post 9/11.

If airport screeners were private firms, then even if the insurance industry didn't force quality screening to occur, there would be public demand for it once reports of weapons being successfully brought through. In today's world, it's a crime to even try to bring a fake/harmless weapon through, so the public is essentially forbidden from independently auditing the screeners.

The blogger is playing it safe by using a metal case, but that only tests the metal/object detection capabilities and doesn't test for successful detection of any of the other potentially dangerous items (which are also likely to be easy to smuggle through).
