Please try your test again on port 25, which is the port that server-to-server e-mail would use, as the post above yours said that it is possible to send e-mail to @gmail.com without using STARTTLS. This is, in fact, not only possible but required. Otherwise, @gmail.com would be inaccessible to any e-mail address using an MTA that does not support or is not configured for TLS.

I understand that you feel somewhat violated but before you say anything else let me just put a few facts on the table for you to make a better judgment.

1. Debian boasts of their totally free system and Debian users would feel equally violated if they think that they are using totally free software only to discover later that it was not the case. Disclaimer: The definition of "free software" is up for debate. I'm not condoning Debian's definition. Just informing.

2. Every distribution has it's package managers that tweak the packages in the repositories in various ways. Iceweasel is just a slightly tweaked version of Firefox. It's not a completely different package. You have noticed this background play only because they changed the name but it's not in any way different from the way the package managers decide which version of Gimp they put in Stable and what features of such version are to be disabled by default for security reasons or otherwise.

3. Iceweasel is fundamentally the same as Firefox. Except it's usually a bit older and more stable and goes through more rigorous security testing and maintenance. It also has all trademarks removed, hence the name change.

I would like to meet one of these fantastical java-only OO-proponents that are often brought up in posts like this, claiming that Java and OO are the end-all of programming. To be honest, I never have.

Some people seem to have a disposition to modeling problems with objects, but I fear I'm too young to have ever met any Java zealots. To me they seem more like straw men invented to help set up posts like this one.

Hackdays and Hackfests aren't really the same things.

Hackdays typically are much longer events running over 1.5-2.5 days where you generally build something from scratch.

There are even some focused specifically on people who want to build startups (StartupWeeekend and Launch48 being the main two).
Cheers, it has been added. :-)

What do you mean by "Can it even be parsed reasonably"?

The size of the language seems to come in large part from the fact that it wants to be an OOP and a functional language at the same time, with providing rich and sometimes bleeding edge feature-set in both domains (plus, you've got built-in tools for common problems like XML/XPath handling being a part of syntax). When you combine those, the resulting size is enormous.

IMO, it's definitely not a language for everyone and probably won't replace Java in its core domain (JEE enterprisey apps) - but, for many harder problems, the rich feature set can be a blessing.
trying new ideas when it comes to government, sometimes produces milions of victims.

Usually only with the forms of government that don't care about millions of victims. Is really a no-brainer that any totalitarian system that intends to make an enemy of a large section of its population is probably going to be pretty awful. So I would strongly suggest weeding those forms out in advance, rather than using the common historical method of allowing them to be implemented through force by the paranoid and insane.

This is less of an issue when it comes to systems of improving feedback in science, unless it somehow enables an aspiring evil genius, or something.

Experience is fleeting. To the photograph analogy - having photographs lets you perceive time more slowly since you forget less of it.
When I was working on Scala (5+ years ago), the syntax was still pretty rich but the parser was fairly concise. Martin is very good about designing consistent and fairly compact syntax; you get the richness from just a few rules that are easily expressed via recursive descent; there is a little bit of lexer madness for semicolon inference, but this isn't that big of a deal. Its definitely nowhere near C++ in terms of unparsability; one could probably write their own parser for Scala over a weekend or so (depending on their compiler skillz).
He did refer to it as a poison and a dose-dependent toxin. There's room to quibble over their definitions and whether he's exaggerating a bit for effect, but he's very clear on his message that it's a substance which requires serious moderation that can lead to death in various ways.

Sure, if you don't take water in moderation it can kill you, but in this case the dosage required in order to produce negative effects is low enough that its side effects have become commonplace.

You are confusing all sugar as meaning "glucose", but there are a number of sugars. Fructose is the sugar he takes issue with, because it's much more common in products than it should be due to the body's limited ability to cope with it. When he just calls it sugar, he's making it easier for people to relate with.

And yes, with him calling fructose a poison a large number of products available could be a serious issue if you eat too much of them. Unfortunately, what constitutes "too much" is very little and fluctuates a bit depending on your rate of digestion which can be slowed by taking in more soluble fiber at the same time.

It's been added to products as a flavor compensation too liberally, because it's cheap, addictive, legal and increases sales. This is used as the basis for why the issue is widespread, it's been put into so many products.

Was Marc Kac:

"There are two kinds of geniuses: the 'ordinary' and the 'magicians'. An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they've done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. Even after we understand what they have done it is completely dark. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest calibre."

Benefits of yoga for kids
Yoga is believed to be a practice only
for adults. This is a very wrong notion that many of us
have built over the years. Just like yoga benefits the
mind, body and soul of an adult, it has the same impact
on children. In fact children reap more benefits from
yoga than adults. This is because their body will adapt
to the routines of yoga as they grow and the practice
of yoga continues with the years reaping extra
benefits.
Making a Facebook clone is about the last reason I can think of for buying Facebook's source. I'm guessing any buyer interested would be looking to use it to find exploits for snooping or worse.
That adds nothing but poorly contrived speculation.

Further, the general notion that email is predominately insecure is often wrong-

-TLS is used for most transports now.

-Email seldom transits through intermediaries (in the less connected world most had layers of smarthosts that were intermediate steps. Now almost all email is sent from origin organization directly to the destination organization, only diverging for highly secure intermediary like Erado).

I still wouldn't ever imagine emailing yourself passwords (email yourself an encrypted spreadsheet sure...to refute another comment, encryption in Office 2007+ is more than adequate) and the like, but just needed to address the hysterics about email.
No, there had already been some experiments that should have been accurate enough to detect the orbital motion of the earth and it's effect on the speed of light.

Google '1890 speed of light experiments' and you should get Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers page 21 - 27. It talks about the interferometer experiments that suggested the speed of light was constant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry
Makes finding other security issues a lot easier if you have the source code. That could be very valuable to a certain segment of the population.
Sorry, I didn't get it completely. Does the author imply that you should not have advisors? Or have advisors that add real value rather than some sort of name dropping?

This is a bit of an unconventional approach, but here's my plan for when I buy a Macbook Air over the summer:

* Keep OS X / X11

* Install a command line Ubuntu VM in Parallels

* Set up the VM as an SSH server and configure public/private key authentication

* Configure any necessary filesystem sharing in Parallels

* Configure OS X to run your Ubuntu VM on startup in headless mode (background / non-graphical)

* Replace your OS X bashrc with 'ssh -Y localhost'; this will cause any terminal you open to run a Linux shell, with the capability to open graphical applications (I'll personally be using TotalTerminal; I'm a sucker for Quake-style terminals)

In the end, you pretty much have the best of both worlds. You get an Apple-polished day-to-day experience (with no hacking required for things like multitouch gestures), with all the power of Linux also at your fingertips.

---

Though, if that doesn't sound like your thing (or you just really want to be rid of OS X), my original plan before I had that idea was just to go with my standard Kubuntu. Kubuntu is an incredibly polished KDE distro in my opinion (despite its naysayers), and from what I can tell KDE is the only desktop environment which really rivals OS X (except maybe Unity, which I haven't played much with). Given the latest release, now is a better time than ever to get rolling with a *buntu.

Also, no matter which distro you choose, if you're using an Air it seems you'll need this: http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/
The first two points seem more inline with Chrome for Android... but afiak, Chrome does have remote debugging built-in, you just have to enable it via command line. It's build into WebKit and then up to the vendor to enable it... (I wish Safari on iOS had it...)

Lady Gaga is prob not a good example since she writes or has a big hand in writing pretty much all her songs. Like most pop artists she utilizes producers and songwriters, but she relies on them less than say Rihanna who essentially has had all her hit songs written for her (or picked up songs originally written for other singers).

Yes, Scala is currently the best alternative to Java for Android development, but I am hoping that Clojure can close the gap significantly.

The main drawback to Clojure is still the start-up time, but that's getting better. For example, the metadata elision introduced in Clojure 1.4.0 speeds things up a bit and makes a significant cut in Clojure’s heap use.

However, one thing that Clojure gives you that Scala cannot, is the ability to do REPL-driven Android development, i.e. sending code directly from your editor to a running application and seeing nearly instantaneous results.

One thing I hope will help Clojure significantly is that it has a Google Summer of Code student who is going to be working on improving the tooling support for Android and Clojure. This should make it much easier for Clojure developers to start creating Android applications.

It always strikes me how much time it takes to finish your paper (eg. conference template, correcting spelling mistakes, formatting figures etc.) while you could outsource this. Student-assistants are an option

Furthermore it would be nice to discuss your ideas without having to spend months writing a paper. Guess there is a difference between alpha and beta sciences.

Finding relevant conferences is a challenge as well (since I'm still a junior researcher).
Heh, I never actually took the time to think of the literal meaning of the phrase. Nevertheless, the quantity modified by 'steep' is in fact scalar and thus 'steep' affects only the magnitude. It reveals nothing about the underlying nature of the quantity, which could indeed be the inverse rate of learning or something like that.
There are a lot of people who think like this. It does seem to be more enterprisey people generally who are working with large older codebases. I'm not sure how many people would design a product from ground up only using Java today.
You should get interviewed for enterprise jobs sometime. It's all about objects, patterns and lots of factories... some times makes me wonder if we intentionally make stuff complex to find meaning in what we do.

Maybe people who don't care how trendy the language is? There are thousands of well tested, well maintained libraries for java mainly because of the funding from the corporate world.

Google Stuff? Java APIs.
Android? Java APIs

nearly every piece of commercial software has java apis.

Agreed with parent. Come take a stroll in my office; I work in a coporate bank. Most of my coworkers learned "real" programming in the 90s, when Java was the hot new thing on the block. To most of them, the whole Programming Language eco-system can be summarized to an endless "C++ vs Java vs C#" flamewar.

Just yesterday a colleague of mine looked at me with chock and awe when I told him I enjoy coding in C. "But... it's not OO!" he mumbled, puzzled.

Pushing the caricature a little further, Python and Ruby are toy languages that only hipsters use, Perl is only to be used by the sysadmin down the hall, and Lisp is the biggest failed experiment programmers ever came up with.

Pointy-haired bosses encourage this kind of thinking: They would never get in trouble for chosing a language amongst the big 3 (C++/C#/Java).

I once heard someone say: "I don't understand why there are still new languages coming out every day. Shouldn't everyone just use Java?"
I've been looking into different software engineering methodologies and it seems that all of them rely on specialization. I think this leads to un-necessary complexity.

OOP might not be more modern but I think it was trying to move into the direction of less specialization. Unfortunately, it has gotten side tracked.

If you’re using a Windows 8 tablet to view a college textbook via a free app, why do you need to buy any Nook hardware at all?

Well, Amazon provides a Kindle app, but they still sell boatloads of Kindles. You might not need a Nook if you've got a Windows 8 tablet, unless you want a device more suited for reading text, but chances are that you don't actually have a Windows 8 tablet.
This article is so interesting, but mostly because I feel that there's something missing with it.

Mangham seems like there is some reason for which he shouldn't be in trouble at all, but it's never revealed -- or maybe there isn't any real reason, and he's just delusional? I don't know.

It starts off bad enough -- "Strictly speaking what I did broke the law because at the time and subsequently it was not authorized," -- So wait. It wasn't EVERY authorized? Or is he implying that sometime before the time he actually stole the source it had been authorized? Was he hired to do this work at some time, then let go afterward, only to keep trying? It's confusing without context (to me at least).

Then he realizes that FB is on his tail and he "panicked because I knew how bad it looked without sufficient context." What is the context? He seems to imply that there is some reason for which he shouldn't be thrown in jail, but never seems to get at exactly what it is.

There's something weird here, and practically every statement he makes hints at some deeper cause, but always falls short of actually revealing what it is.
This is totally backwards.

Almost all of the observations you read on programmer blogs are summarized in this academic piece - http://www.theonion.com/articles/sociologist-considers-own-b... [Aside - I had a faint memory of that article, having only read it when it first came out, but managed to find it via a domain-filtered search with cognac and trend, the only two words I could remember from the article. Thought that memory cluster was humorous]

Usually it's someone responding to some personal issue with a public post. Perhaps they argued with a peer.

I also found it to be a serious mental bender to see OO and Java called "new", relative to "old". In most programming groups Java is the new Cobol, considered anything but new. Often it is a legacy language.
One issue with Kickstarter for games that are ready to play (at least for us) was that we want to give access to play the game the moment that you decide to give us some money.

You can't really do that with kickstarter because you don't know if you will really get the money from each supporter.

Due to this, and due to the fact that you need to be an American company (which can be gotten around, but is annoying) we decided to go it on our own with something that was very similar to kickstarter, while not actually using their service, which you can see here: https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase/

Using stripe.com for credit card processing, it was fairly easy to get payment processing up and running.

Really the reason to use kickstarter.com is as an advertising platform. I'm not really sure if having their audience as well as our own would have benefited us in this case or not.

As to paying money for just a concept, it's not really unlike the decision investors make on a smaller scale. Bear in mind that copies of a game on kickstarter are typically lower than the final retail price. Your reduce your risk by "investing" in a diversified portfolio of kickstarter games in the hope that one will turn out to be a gem.
The irony of having three separate points that all say the same thing... and that thing is keep it brief, don't use filler.
> Mangham used a vulnerability to download Facebook's source code, arguably the company's most valued and secret intellectual property

Err... no! The company most valued property would be the data they have and sell. (I know this kind of comment will attract all kind of pedantry around the word "intellectual property", but let's agree on something: If they can sell your data, it's their property.)

I agree that source code exposure is a security threat, but it seems to me that we have yet another case of a journalist looking for a scoop by using big words.

Also, this story kinda puts a whole new twist to Zuckerberg telling Wall Street about the "Hacker Way" ...
