Even Mr. Galitz posted his own emulator three times. There's a search bar at the bottom of the page. Use it.

Maybe someday we'll see Mr. Galitz's other projects posted 20 times. XAudioJS and WAV/AIFF Player are just as interesting as a Gameboy Color emulator.

Ah, I like this comment. Very few people realize that progress in other countries actually means that the pie just gets bigger, although that's hard to see in the short run

Mea culpa, I didn't want to steal the thunder from the great guys at Opera. From my end user perspective I only remember Opera supporting the <video> tag in a version which was released almost a year after Firefox 3.5 [1].

With Vista nobody told my wife she should hate it but the version that came pre-installed on her laptop never worked right and so she told me to return the laptop or put something on it that worked, so I installed Linux.

The problem with Windows 8 seems to be a general issue going on with UI design generally. If you look at Unity and GNOME-3 for example, these also break settled user expectations. It's like there is a rush to tell the users they are stupid and don't know what a usable UI is. I don't get that.
But that its a lot a work. If you wanted to sell this then it would be a good idea :)
How is logic not mathematics?
Modern philosophy is largely ignored by science and scientists because it has nothing to offer but endless questions and debates, unresolveable paradoxes and pointless inquiry into the modern day equivalent of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Who needs it?

Unfortunately, science needs a rational philosophy now more than ever. Under the influence of Kant and his derivatives like Popper that dominate the modern universities, the fundamentals of science such as identity, causality, knowledge, logic and proof are being undercut and destroyed by the very sciences that use and need these concepts. Tragically, the scientists are distainful of modern philosophy (for good reason) but make the mistake of reject all philosophy, and are thus throwing the baby out with the bath water.

For anyone with a serious interest in these issues I recommend that you read Ayn Rand's "Philosophy: Who Needs It" and her "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology". In the former book, her answer is that everyone needs a philosophy because it is the science of fundamentals that apply to everyone and all sciences.

No, there's no difference whatsoever. .NET has no concept of "operators" that are different from functions.

F# is statically typed, just like C#, and the only reason you can pass + in this case is because the type of the stack is Stack<int>, so the compiler can statically infer that "+" means "the + operator on ints." At every usage, + has to refer to a specific function, or it wouldn't compile. For example, if it was a Stack<object> that happened to contain ints, it wouldn't compile.

(You could use .NET's "dynamic" type to make it dynamically resolve which function at runtime, but you could use it equally well in the C# example with a lambda.)
Looks very nice and useful app. Thanks for sharing. Suggestion: An auto-suggest while you search would add lot of values.
Yeah, but I have the type 1 diabetes, which is btw. the national disease in Finland.

One of the things that started the disease was an influenza back when I was kid. I also have the genes from my family, so suddenly I didn't have insulin in my body anymore. It has nothing to do with my lifestyles.

I've been taking care of my disease since I was a kid and believe me, I need my daily shots of insulin.

Hi Ahmed, Here's my experience - I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I run one (an American LLC).

1) Ask yourself WHY you need a company in the US. It might not be worth it.

I registered one so that 1)it would be easier to accept payments from the US through their native gateways, because in my country, all of them suck.But if I had known the pitfalls first, I would rather have integrated with Paypal.

2)An American company's products are always perceived to be better than the rest.

I registered an LLC and every year, I'm required to pay an annual fee of $250 USD as Franchise tax. Mine is in Delaware so its just $250, if its in California, its going to be approx. $800 or so. $250 might not sound like a big deal, but for companies like mine, that are bootstrapping, it really is.

You are required to pay some more money as tax, apart from the Franchise tax on your ECI. ECI is effectively connected income - ie, The income generated by doing business with the US. This is going to get complex if you have an online internet business model.

You are required to have a registered agent to represent your company in Delaware. They charge anywhere from $50 to $200 a year.

The total tax you might end up paying for the same revenue stream is:

Franchise tax + tax for your ECI + registered agent fee + your local country's tax.

The situation gets even more complex when you hire more people.

Also, the organization's taxation methods change depending on the number of members (single/partnership/multi-member, etc.)

More on this:
http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98277,00.h...

The worst part is, if someone decides to sue you, suddenly you are answerable to the American government, which you were not before. Your liability is also increased (unsure of this though).

Travelling to the US becomes a nightmare when you own an American company. Visa officers think you have a higher probability of settling there, rather than returning and it becomes increasingly difficult to get to the US, which I'm pretty sure is not what you want.

FYI:

I registered through a known friend, but the best place to get it done, if you ask me, is through Harvard business services (www.delawareinc.com). They have a lot of benefits (total cost to set up an LLC is under 600-700$ USD) and MANY of my friends have registered through them. They also are very transparent and their registered agent fee is only $50 a year! (I'm not their salesman though, for god's sake)

Anyway, If I had known these disadvantages first, I might as well have gone with a local organizational structure. Just keep these in mind while registering your new company... my 2 cents.
I feel like I was the only person on the entire planet who actually organized their start menu and deleted all the crud. Even now, I use ClassicShell on Windows 7 and I launch apps by category and muscle-memory.

But I've seen enough people's machines to know I'm in the minority, even among power users.
"Are there two completely redundant power systems up to and including the PDUs and generators? How often are those tested?"

And "are they tested for long enough to detect a faulty cooling fan that'll let the primary generator run at normal full working load for ~10mins and are the secondary gensets run and loaded up long enough to ensure something that'll trip ~5mins after startup isn't configured wrong?

While they clearly failed, I do have some sympathy for the architects and ops staff at Amazon here. I could very easily imagine a testing regime which regularly kicked both generator sets in, but without running them at working load for long enough to notice either of those failures. My guess is someone was feeling quite smug and complacent 'cause they've got automated testing in place showing months and years worth of test switching from grid to primary to secondary and back, without every having thought to burn enough fuel to keep the tests running the generators long enough to expose these two problems.

"There is a "right way" to do this …"

There's a _very_ well known "right way" to do this in AWS - have all your stuff in at least two availability zones. Anybody running mission critical stuff in a single AZ has either chosen to accept the risk, or doesn't know enough about what they're doing… (Hell, I've designed - but never go to implement - projects that spread over multiple cloud providors, to avoid the possible failure mode of "What happens if Amazon goes bust / gets bought / all goes dark at once?")
A model of selfless research may be appealing to a few individuals, but to get the large amount of research, testing etc. involved in modern medicine, you need an army of professionals. And no money==no army
disagree with you on all point here.

Yes you can arrange the icons on your phone the way you like it and yes you can do this on your laptop too. But when I dock my laptop, the screen resolution changes and now I have to find something.

On the desktop, I use launchy. A simple keyboard shortcut, type and run. Simple.

Overall I agree with most of the authors point. I do mainly agree on the point that users should have an option to have their standard desktop back as the default screen rather than metro.
Notational Velocity. I know about ResophNotes, etc, but they don't cut it.

The "dilemma of the palette", I grapple with it constantly. if you never develop a palette for something, you never have to spend the money on "the good stuff". Applies to scotch, wine, beer, cigars, and food, among other things.

Of course, appreciating some of these things has some social benefits. And of course, in each such case, you can just fake it.
This is mentioned in 'How to win friends and influence people' where the anecdote is about Bob Hoover and Jet fuel put in a WW2 plane. It is used as an example that it is easy to criticize and complain but that it takes character to be understanding.
it's more like philosophy is the dumping ground for stuff that we don't understand well enough to formalize and place in its own little box. that means that it changes with time.

so there was a point when foundational issues in maths and logic were philosophy. the importance of frege, and then later peano, russel, etc, is that they were the ones that found a way to attack that set of problems, letting us isolate a chunk of knowledge as logic, set theory, etc.

a similar process is probably happening now with consciousness - we're starting to develop the tools to answer questions that are currently "philosophical".
"We also test our generators on a monthly cycle to test for failures."

Curious - when "testing" them, how long do you run them for and at what load?

I could see the beancounters being _very_ unhappy with the ops people saying "we want to run both gen sets at full datacenter load for more than 10 minutes at a time, every month", which is what Amazon would have to have done to detect the faulty cooling fan problem. I'm guessing there are _some_ organisations who do that, but I suspect most datacenters don't.

"I.E. they hit start and begin typing." -- people do that because the start menu in W7 has a text box that says "Search programs and file" and a visible caret telling them they can type. In W8 you do not get any visual clues to tell you that you can type to search.
On a desktop, I use windows. Hit windows key, type and run. Simple :)

I'm sure launchy has more functionality, but both the windows7 start menu and metro lets you press the windows key and type in partial names to open an application. I find it a lot quicker than using the mouse, and it's already built in.

I have been wondering how ownership conflicts will work with GTLDs. If someone buy's "lol." and puts up "yahoo.lol.", how is that conflict resolved since "lol." is not managed by a "neutral" company but by the people that in fact own "lol."?

The rotational UPSes are the cause of the majority of 365 Main's downtime, and in general, horrible and must be destroyed with prejudice.

They're a nice idea in principle (and were the best option back in the mainframe era), but power electronics have gotten better faster than rotational maintenance at a datacenter company. They also weren't widely deployed enough to have a great support system, and it was firmware/software which caused most of their outages.

Dual line cord for network devices, and then STSes per floor area, probably make the most sense. Basically no commodity hosting provider uses dual line cord servers on A and B buses. I love having dual line cord for anything "real" (including virtualization servers for core infrastructure), but when you're selling servers for $50/mo, you can't.

(there's the Google approach to put a small UPS in each server, too...)

note: if you read one part of this, read the last paragraph.

"I paint objects as I think them not as I see them." - Pablo Picasso
"Art is what you can get away with." - Andy Warhol

I do not buy the "this isn't art, I can do this. art requires skill" train of thought. firstly, if we appreciate skill then we are not appreciating art. we are appreciating a craft. to appreciate art we must appreciate creativity. who's the artist: the engineer or the architect? the engineer has more skill, but i'd say the architect.

Secondly, let's assume that the "art requires skill" argument is correct. hence, a white painting is not art. but then what's the converse. is photorealistic painting (when a painting looks as though it were a photograph) the best art? because it contains the best skill at imitating reality? because I would say Michelangelo or Rembrandt are far superior to any photorealistic painter (try to name one).

Lastly, here's an interesting spin on modern art: it has a greater effect on you than regular art does. You've probably had a lot of conversations about modern art but little about real art. And it has a greater emotional effect on people (generally anger or disdain) than regular art, which usually leads to boredom. After all, I bet there are tons of blog posts on modern art like this one. I doubt there are many on the Old Masters. Modern art challenges us, makes us think more, and make use talk more.
I'm enjoying Office 2010 a lot. Especially OneNote and Outlook. Everything is so nicely done, and I'm a power-user so I'm actively using it to the limits.

Some museums will have didactic plaques, or large wall didactics, especially for thematic shows. But for well known artists, or major works, these panels don't make sense. They mean so many things to so different people, that it would be presumptuous to try to pin down a meaning in a few sentences. The panel would leave out more than it could include.
The advantages of using Excel over a 3rd party service:

- since all the relevant data's in our db, i don't need to import data into a 3rd party service if i haven't been tracking it. i just modify my sql query. no need to futz with data importing, syncing, yada yada.
- using Excel is a matter of writing sql, running the query, then importing a CSV. simple.
- data manipulation is easier - Excel is designed for it.

I wrote the SQL and ran the analysis in my post over a couple of hours one afternoon. I can't imagine it being easier using any 3rd party service.

I get the feeling that there is simply no way to get exorbitantly priced drugs to the masses without bankrupting any kind of fund that provides for this (govt/national agency etc). The mistake in your argument is that you assume pharmas are losing out from the market in poorer countries like India. While this may be true to a certain extent, the sales of such drugs would be significantly low if they were bought at the original price. Also, the Indian govt./private sector doesn't provide any kind of healthcare benefits, AFAIK most healthcare is self-sponsored, which is different from US where big insurance companies handle much of the costs.
There is a grey area here. It isn't simply that you try to protect your IP at all costs or try to be over-zealously righteous. As another commenter mentioned, this kind of idea stealing happens all the time, and although it may not be strictly legal, it has done much more good to us than sticking to laws would have.
This comment of yours is also nothing but thoughts and ideas. What's your point?
BeOS (and Haiku) do not have a Unix core.
At one point in the video he says he's proud that Linux is the only OS (I'm presuming he meant kernel) that is in mobile and desktop/server systems. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that OSX and iOS were both based on essentially the same Darwin/XNU kernel?

Make sure to think about what happens next after you do that. The money spent on military spending is huge part of the economy. Stop that and you'll have massive layoffs.

Two things:

Which of these points do you take issue with, specifically?:

[1]. Intelligent people are more likely to be homosexual.,
[2]. Humans are evolutionarily designed to reproduce heterosexually., or
[3]. The causal relationship, [2] --> [1]

---

Are you really expecting a "mountain of evidence" in a blog post?

His main point, that intelligent people are more likely to seek novelty and deviate from evolutionary norms, seems plausible. And it's almost certainly addressed in greater detail by one of the many pointers to suggested reading.
Actually, a lot of modern art IS intellectual games; not spirit or aesthetics. Look at the readymades of Marcel Duchamp (early 20th century). And these intellectual games apply to modern literature and music as well.

Really? You'd tax the makers of generic drugs and then give that money to the big drug companies to subsidize their R&D?

Waston pharmaceuticals, one of the largest generic drugs makers in the US has total sales of $4.6B. Pfizer, one of the biggest drug companies in the world, has an R&D budget of $8.5B.

Even if you doubled the price of all of Waston's drugs through a tax and gave that to Pfizer, you wouldn't even cover half of their R&D expense.

Without a patent system, there would be zero incentive to create new drug. A drug company could spend $100M to get a new drug to market and with the typical 8 years of patent life, charge the exact price (let's say $100/month, with $90 being profit) to recoup their expenses (no long-term profit). It would be a SIMPLISTIC exercise for another company to come in and starting selling the drug for $20/month and make $10 in profit, having the benefit of never coming up with the $100M to get the drug approved.

I agree that there are alternatives to the current patent system, but like democracy, "it may not be perfect, but it's the best system so far".

Citation please? I can't think of any (non-corporate) person who has expressed that sort of sentiment.
I assume you mean "Datacenter (conditioned) Power", not literally Direct Current power.

In my experience (in ~30 datacenters worldwide, and reading about more), the actual -48v Direct Current plant is usually ROCK SOLID, in comparison to the AC plant. It's almost always overprovisioned and underutilized, at least in older facilities, or those with telcos onsite (who, unlike crappy hosting customers, actually understand power).

My pro tip for datacenter reliability is to try to get as much of your core gear on the DC plant as possible -- core routers, and maybe even some of your infrastructure servers like RRs, monitoring, OOB management, etc. Ideally split stuff between DC and AC such that if either goes down, you're still sort of ok, or at least can recover quickly. DC and AC is even better than dual AC buses, since what starts out as dual AC can easily end up with a single point of failure later (like when they start running out of pdu space, power, or whatever), and dual AC is also more likely to have a closer upstream connection.

DC stuff is WAY simpler to make reliable and redundant, just uses larger amounts of copper and other materials.
I've used OSX for the last nine years, and I'm also starting to think the OSX GUI is kind of crappy. I prefer tiling window managers nowadays, their as-fast-as-possible user interface and their no bullshit look and feel.
OSX itself keeps me hooked to my Mac. I can find anything I need for this platform. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
