You could get a second hard drive. Pull the first one out, put the second one in, do whatever you want. When/if it's time to return, put the first drive back in. They'll wonder why you've barely used it but whatever.

I did this when laptops were $1500. Now that they are $400 it's usually not worth the bother.
The iPad 3 is still priced at R$1599, iPad 2 R$1299, which is not that bad. Apparently they are already producing iPhones over there, but the price hasn't been affected.
The way it's commonly implemented, two-factor authentication is definitely not "a step in the right direction".

Two-factor authentication using phone numbers is a huge privacy breach, especially when you're dealing with websites that have no business knowing your phone.

And rolling code tokens aren't feasible for anything except some really high-security applications. Even there, I doubt they are really much more secure than a USB stick with your paraphrase-protected private key. Sure, you can't copy the token, but that doesn't just add to security, it detracts from usability.
I saw this posted earlier under a different title. The word "stunning" was in there referring to the use of images. Just interested in why you changed it and if there was any observable improvement in views/votes from the change.

Yes, sorry I misspoke initially about stores being reordered, but it does still appear that stores can be reordered after loads, see: http://bartoszmilewski.com/2008/11/05/who-ordered-memory-fen... . (Your Intel manual reference is surely a more authoritative source but I'm not able to do a deep dive into it at the moment).
And there lies one of the cruxes of the issue.

Companies want to recruit 'unicorns', people who are absolutely perfect for the job. People that they don't have to train and can be parachuted into a position and be 100% productive from day one. They want an XXX or YYY developer, not a good general purpose software engineer who can learn new things quickly.

Such 'unicorns' either don't exist or are rare enough that they can command a premium in salary that most companies don't want to pay.

So instead of recruiting someone who is competent but needs some training (say recruiting a good Java/C developer and sending them on a training course to learn Ruby), they would rather whine that there is a shortage of software developers and petition for more H1Bs.
No later than yesterday I spent couple hours researching Websocket servers to no avail. I want to run it on Apache/Windows with PHP (there is some python implementation, but I wish it would be as simple as mod_websocked and opening concurrent port). Unfortunately solutions like Heroku are tremendously expensive in my opinion, if you want to build something that will have 1,000 websocket connections at the same time. Could not find anything reliable. This and fact IE/Opera do not have websocket implemented, makes me come back to good old Flash technology - building a simple socket module that will trigger Javascript functions inside a webpage.
His further reading list includes Surowiecki's The Wisdom of Crowds, but his post doesn't look like he read it himself. Surowiecki has a long list of requirements for the "wisdom of crowds" to actually be helpful, for one example the individual judgments need to be independent, that the post ignores. Without the restrictions you get different failure modes, like bubbles, runs, and traffic jams.
I'm not familiar with Civilization resources so how would it be possible to perpetually build Nukes ? Wouldn't there be an energy cap or is there some sort of tech to cotinually generate the needed resources.
>I use it to run Logic, Reason and associated plugins, and find I can comfortably run 24-48 track projects quite easily so I havent really felt a pinch to upgrade.

24-48 track projects? With slight "freeze" of some heavy reverbs and such, you could probably run those on a Dual Core MacBook Pro.
People want to pay you hourly/per project, convince them it’s better for both you and them to pay you daily. I’ll explain why in a future post.

I've burned many thousands of words here arguing the same point and will hopefully be able to spare you all a retread, so let me just say that I think a lot of good habits and useful dynamics emerge organically from this one decision.

If you make no other careful strategic decisions about your consulting business, make this one: bill daily.

This is an important point. It used to be that there really wasn't a whole lot of damage you could do to a machine with software, sure there was the 'set the monitor horizontal refresh to zero and burn up the flyback transistor' but that was about it. These days however, in an age of tightly managing clock speeds, heat, voltages, etc all under BIOS/driver control to maximize battery life, it is possible to not only damage but to completely brick a machine if it has either broken or malicious software running in 'ring 0'. And that puts people like NewEgg in a tight spot, having already to deal pretty evil stuff [1].

Then if you combine that with there is no way to 'restore' a laptop to its original OS install if you've re-partitioned and overwritten the 'recovery partition' on the hard drive. Nobody bothers to send recovery CDs any more, that is $3.85 in plastic they can't (or won't) put into the box. So now if you install Linux you've made it effectively impossible for the vendor to even attempt to start from a 'known good OS' and determine suitability. It does kinda suck.

That said, I prefer Amazon's policy as well and as more folks move there NewEgg will either adapt or die.

[1] Evil doer activity (documented) - get some bad memory (generally for free from some scrap pile, 'buy' a laptop, take its good memory out, put dead memory in, 'return' the laptop. Sad really. All the engineering effort that goes into thwarting the petty schemes of evil people.
Indie Game: The Movie released on Steam
He has JavaScript disabled. The code samples are provided by github's gist stuff. It's an interesting example of JavaScript being used to render rather than enhance, complete with a lack of graceful fail.
Actually, this is a perfect example of using Multiple Cursors to get the job done more easily.

I'd select all three "def"s simultaneously, then move by word three/four times using ctrl+right, or plain old "w" if using ST's vim mode. When I'm on the second param, I'll delete forward to the next ",". I could also just ctrl+right my way until the next word, which would be the same.

Just to recap the keys I'd press:

/def (select first def)
ctrl+d * 2 (select using multi-cursors the next two defs
ctrl+right * 4 (to get to the second param)
ctrl+shift+right (to select the entire second param)
delete

And if I mess up at any point, I instantly see it. If I did something that only works for the first case but not the others, I see it immediately.

Note: Using vintage mode, Sublime Text has vim shortcuts. Without it, Multiple Cursors still rock, but are missing a LOT of their power (exactly because of situations like this).

In fact, in Sublime Text 1, for which vim mode didn't exist, I actually implemented a plugin to emulate the "f" and "t" movements because they were so good.

Of course, this is just an intermediate-term situation. By 2020, available self-drive cars will allow the human passengers to devote all their attention wherever they want.
Something that also happens often is that Linux has problems sending the hard drive to sleep properly and you end up with a "I'll stop and start it 3 times a minute" scenario which is able to wreck a HDD pretty quickly compared to normal usage
I'm not sure why you're getting the downvotes. Everything you say is true. Clearly Zynga has real value; they are a profitable company. Perhaps they were overvalued at IPO and (maybe Facebook was too) and that could explain their stock-price drop in the last month.

Often on HN, any non-negative mention of Zynga will be downvoted.

Back in the day you could hose your CRT by trying to set a graphics mode it didn't support, but that would take a special effort to do.
All new major debit cards come with the same ability to chargeback and coverage for bogus charges. But as mentioned elsewhere the major difference is that the debit card uses your money for a transaction and the credit card uses the bank's money. You could claim that the bank wants to get their money more than they want to get you back your money, but realistically it's probably more that the system is setup better currently for credit cards.

But the my vs. the bank's money is the reason I use my credit card almost exclusively for in person and online purchases. If I go to the Kwick-E-Mart, and pull out my PayPass (or other RFID) enabled credit card and someone snipes my credit card number from it as I swipe for cheetos, I'm fine if it's a credit card. They can run up 20k in charges on my credit card and I don't care (even if the credit card company doesn't stop it), I'll call my bank and tell them that they need to fix that, and probably go find a bad guy, also, I'm not paying that.

If they run up 20k in charges on my debit card before I or my bank notices, I am missing $20,000 from my account. Then I have to hope that the bank can and will fix it before my bills are due.

If used properly credit cards are month long interest free loans with no risk if someone steals the loaned money. Debit cards are wooden door to your bank account with a really aggressive, sleepy, deaf hound that you have to sic on the bad guys after you realize your money is gone.
Who did you end up using for the data?
I enjoy looking for the same sort of shot pattern team-by-team, rather than just player-by-player. For example, during the parts of the year the Nuggets were playing well, the vast majority of their shots were either from within 5 feet of the rim or from outside the arc (like, they'd have 10 or fewer shots not from those areas, out of 80+ total shots). When they were playing poorly, some games they'd take 30 midrange jumpers.
I kept one box and the styrofoam in case I had to return a unit.

I remember Sun once sold mini box versions of their workstations (rather than the original pizza box) - their claim was that at the square footage cost of a Wall St trading floor the machines would pay for themselves in 'n' years.

Then there was a note on the pallet sized box that the machine + 19"CRT came in - saying that you had to keep it for warranty returns!

Picture this: You bought 10 of something, all identical items (minus some sn on the box). You throw away the packaging material for 8 or 9 of the 10 items (remember, it's all identical). You then have a device DOA/fail that isnt the EXACT packaging you saved. What difference would it make to newegg take the item out of the box and scan the barcode inside? A little customer service goes a long way.
I honestly don't think this is enough. My video editing pals are dumping FCP in droves and there is no heat behind FCPX (updated or not) at all. And where there's no heat, there's no shop talk. Where there's no shop talk, there's no business needs discussion, and where there's no business needs discussion there's no sale.

Apple lost control of the dialogue here.
She should contact Lenovo directly. I've fried my Lenovo T61 with overclocking and they still repaired it immediately. Additionally, they expressly stated to REMOVE THE HDD. This is obviously a cop out by Newegg, since any technician worth his salt could just run hardware diagnostics on it. According to the buyer, she did that AND booted a normal Windows and the errors persisted.

Didn't we just have an article about how great Amazons UX is? Well, i guess this is the Newegg version of that, just inverted.
Congrats to Adam and the whole team at Hipmunk. It's always great to see investments into travel startups, it's a big space in need of lots of innovation.
Sure, but why would an american advocate that Microsoft spends its dollars in another country? Wouldn't it be better for american economy if that person could migrate to US, earn big bucks, pay taxes on those bucks and spend the rest of the income buying goods and services from other US residents, propping the whole economy up?

As an aside:

Bill Gates doesn't own Microsoft.

Bill Gates is not Microsoft therefore he isn't a monopolist.

You cannot be "convincted" of being a monopoly. Monopoly is a state of being, not a criminal act. Microsoft was found to violate Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Which, of course, has no more bearing on the discussion of H1B visas than the fact that it provides gainful employment to 92 thousand of people, most americans (i.e. a good thing).

No, Apple hasn't approached an AV vendor to help harden OSX. That was marketing FUD by Kaspersky that was later retracted. Kaspersky is conducting its own internal audit of OSX, and Apple has said that it would naturally be open to listening to any reports of vulnerabilities that Kaspersky might discover. This is far different than what was reported by computing.co.uk.
>The other problem with focus groups - they aren't independent. There will always be one person who sounds convincing, and the rest will be biased to whatever that person thinks.

Experienced group moderators are aware of this take steps to mitigate and reflect in their notes.

There are other forms of market research beyond focus groups. Aggregated quantitative and qualitative one-on-ones also fit the OP's bill of "crowd wisdom"

This hasn't been true since the recession. Also when the cap limit is hit a lottery system is used to select petitions. No companies have preference.

In fact the rules now are that they will include any petition received within the first five business days in the lottery. The rules are a little more complex than this, but it's essentially correct.

Any reasonably good lawyer knew they had to get things submitted on the first day due to cap uncertainties.
I'm swedish and this is really not that strange. She's just an ordinary Stockholm hipster with an odd sense of humor. We got a bunch of those here. We've sort of had a tradition of that kind of very politically incorrect and absurdist humor here at least since the mid 90s. I would even go as far as to say that it is considered a bit chick in some circles to behave like that.

But I can see how an american/international audience wouldn't get the joke.
iOS Really needs multi-user capabilities
Just watched the keynote. The social integration is very interesting. However, it now creates a situation for devices used by multiple people. In our home, iPads and iPods are multi-user. Grab one and go.

That means that one of several people could be on any device at any time. If I were to setup Facebook through Settings with my login information the integration will be broken for others. It also opens up some negatives. A seven year old can post to your FB account just as well as you can.

Then there's the scenario of handing your iDevice to someone else, say a house guest. They have full access to everything on your device.

It goes beyond that. Everyone's browsing history will now pollute the browsing history on your Mac. Everyone can edit documents and affect them on your Mac. Photos. Etc.

iOS6 is screaming for multi-user capabilities.

Newegg used to be awesome - I have spent thousands in the last 6 years with them, but their customer service is terrible. Their customer service pretty much reads a script and keep repeating the same thing.

I think all companies have a life cycle:
1. New company, so customer is treated well/
2. Company grows and becomes successful
3. Company needs to show ever increasing profits. Starts taking shortcuts to save money, and starts to ignore what made them great in the first place.

Yeah, that's totally it. We don't ever have any ironic-but-also-super-racist racism over here.
I agree that this is going to be a very competitive series. The match-ups seem to favor OKC a bit since I think they can spread the floor better and create good shots for their KD and Westbrook. But James and Wade are very experienced and savvy players and their athleticism (along with Miami's excellent defensive play) gives Miami a strong chance to win.
> so if Instagram is worth $1B to Facebook, ZNGA must be worth somewhere north of $2.5B, its current enterprise value.

This doesn't make sense. Facebook does not own stock market, neither they are some sort of a measurement for other transactions.

Zuck bought it because it was last moment to spend money they didnt have and clearly it was a threat to FB userbase (but sooner or later another Instagram will come up that FB cannot afford). Further Instagram deal was a scam [1] that hopefully will get investigated by Sec (?), for all FB shareholders' sake.

You right that the two lifelines are used at differing stages in the game. I wonder though, what the accuracy rates look like after controlling for what stage of the game you are in. Maybe people SHOULD save their ask the audience for later in the game.
You're working with strictly _more_ axioms, and the extra axioms don't seem justified unless you use the equivalence proof to show you haven't added undesired behavior.

(If you look at the other axioms, the hardest one to justify is the bounding axiom, and its necessity is reinforced by proof. Every other axiom fits in with the student's understanding of arithmetic.)

You can go into biology with no background. I went from physics and math as an undergrad to a PhD in biology. The first six months were rough, but if you really cut yourself off from your previous field and make yourself understand how the thought process in biology works, you can pick it up fairly quickly. Actually, I suspect that an undergraduate degree in biology might be a liability, since you will have memorized so many things that were simplifications or just outright false.

On the other hand, know that the field is incredibly political and that the old joke about the average IQ of both physics and biology going up when Delbruck switched from the former to the latter is true.

The Big Data of Human Opinion
There was a "something I know" in this case - BT's password protection, which was broken in the first place. If this had worked as expected it would have been much more difficult to intercept the call.

Of course, if lots of money is at stake, it's not uncommon for the attacker to track you down, beat you up/kill you and steal your phone (or RSA keyfob) to finish the transaction. To get the PIN that goes with the keyfob they'll use lead pipe cryptography.

Dedicated people will get what they want. Google sending you an SMS is less of a risk than a bank calling you because it's unlikely that anyone would need your Google account as much as your bank account. And on top of that, you're more likely to be kidnapped if you have an authenticator like a "something I know" that is difficult to steal.

The real point is: there is no such thing as secure. To protect your money, spread it out across multiple banking institutions with different methods of access to increase attack surface, and don't log into your savings account.
Why Google Is Shooting Itself In The Foot With Paid Product Search
Has the FeeFighters Samurai gateway been shuttered?
I spent several days setting up the Samurai payment gateway with a new product I'm building. I ran into a mysterious error, so I submitted a help request. No response for a week now. Their phone number isn't working, no response on twitter, no response over email.

Is anyone else using Samurai? The product looks excellent, but this support is abysmal. I see they were acquired by Groupon on 3/23, perhaps Groupon is dropping the gateway portion?
