6 [Many domains]
There's already a ton of [big company]sucks.com domains out there. Once you reach a certain size you need to go register those domains as a defensive measure.

The .sucks people will make a crazy amount of money in registration fees for domains that will never ever be used.

YES. It's a laptop. If you can't sacrifice the screen size, where else do you trim the fat?

thinner = less mass = less weight = portability. A laptop is designed to be a portable machine, no?

Desktops however, I do not care if there is a massive tower under my desk. I don't move it unless I'm plugging in something new, or upgrading components.
You mean a domain squatter right? When did we start calling them domainers?
> "Of course, one would think that it wouldn't be very difficult for the authorities to obtain footage from privately-owned cameras."

As an individual I've easily been able to obtain stills from privately operated security cameras, once when I left something in a taxi, and needed to track down the operator (got that within minutes), and another in relation to a no-fault car accident (feckin' motor-cycle courier!), in both cases just by tracking down the owner of a public facing camera and asking nicely. On that basis, I doubt the police would have any more difficulty doing the same, but there is still a significant difference between this and the "police state" image this article portrays.
Plus, how can we ever relent our right to privacy from a government that is content with its own mountains of hidden information. If we are to be wire tapped, photographed and body scanned, then filming of government agents, like the TSA, should be something the government is not only in favor of, but is excited about.

The nothing to hide argument doesn't stand unless every person in the country is constantly surveilled and all information collected is fully accessible to everyone.
'Nothing to Hide' - many peoples think this way, but for friends i was always trying to explain why privacy is important, why should you use anti virus and firewall, and do not leak data to Internet my main	arguments:

1. You're computer might be in use for spam or hacking banks and governments sites.
2. Data leak - credit cards, accounts, and main - personal information.
3. In Ukraine we have joke - Facebook.com - let your wife meet your lovers.
4. From your info it is possible to find info on your friends.

And this is for people who have nothing to hide.

Questions of privacy in Internet is a big problem.
But privacy should be privacy, not anonymity.

As for cameras on streets... In future we will have no chance to hide. Nothing.

Trivially, the difference is that neither SASS nor LESS is actually CSS and therefore must be transformed into valid CSS prior to being parsed by the browser. This would eliminate that step.

EDIT: parent originally asked about the difference between this and SASS/LESS.
Technology makes a difference here. For example, it is not illegal to follow someone on a public street. But attaching a GPS device to their car is going over the line, even though the concept is the same. The difference is the lack of physical limitations. You no longer have to follow one car for a short time from another, you can follow hundreds of cars for long periods from your living room.

Similarly, if someone is speaking out loud in public, you can listen, but wiretapping is still wrong.

And just because someone can view your actions in public doesn't make it okay to monitor and log every person on every square foot of public space continuously.
I honestly don't know how anyone can, with a straight face, ignore this.
You have to start somewhere. The only real question is whether it can be added as a polyfill on browsers as they catch up.

God says...

14:27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of
me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the
sheep shall be scattered.

14:28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

14:29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet
will not I.

14:30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day,
even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
thrice.

14:31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I
will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

14:32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he
saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
You're having an argument with a bunch of InstantExperts™ who are clearly motivated by other sources or tied to luddite ideologies. They're more interested in presenting Apple as an evil empire because this fits their personal objectives.

Since the overwhelming bulk of computer users(including pro users) have no interest in fiddling with their computer specs post purchase, Apple are simply making a product that fits the market.

I'm not going to go into the historical precedence of laptops having limited upgradability, but as you've noted something had to give, and soldering the RAM is by no means a new idea.
There's more to it than what Sass, Less and co. can provide. It simplifies dynamically changing a bunch of CSS properties from JavaScript a lot. Instead of changing all the elements using a particular style, you could now change just the variable instead. This gets even more interesting when properties are composed of variables, like gradient colors.

Also, this is a pretty high-level addition. I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with a polyfill for this soon.
And they can sell whatever machine they want to sell. The point of this entire thread is the name.

I'm not sure what you're referring to about statistics, as I never offered any statistics. I'd love to take a survey of audio and visual professionals and see how many of them have devices that either stream over Firewire (much more consistent bandwidth than USB2) or burn to disc (slightly less common). Brand new devices might use SD or Thunderbolt, but AV equipment is expensive and not always replaced every time Apple comes up with a new standard.
I can imagine you could create one stylesheet for browsers that support CSS variables, and one for browser that don't.
Why Apple Is Afraid Of Bitcoin
If someone knows something about you, he gains power over you.

This is the most fundamental reason I have seen yet, reflected (often unconsciously) in our daily lives: We have curtains, we talk in private, we have secrets we only tell to those we trust, have company confidentials, discretion, spokesmen, and don't negotiate our salaries in public.

Why? Because we instinctively try to minimize those who might take advantage over us.

Knowledge can be exploited in so many ways that it is very hard to tell if a certain piece of information is harmless or not. If you're at the mercy of someone else, depending on him not to exploit his knowledge over you, you lose freedom.

Most people at least feel this and therefore - in their social interactions - act accordingly.
Interestingly, as soon at no human face is involved, my observation is that these instincts break down. I believe that's the core issue today, where most information isn't collected by some creepy stalker, but by web services, governments and card readers. They seem so detached from a real (potentially threatening) person, that our deeply engrained secrecy patterns fail us.

Oh definitely. I just mean to express that I'm not as excited as I otherwise would be. I'm not fortunate enough to be working on the types of projects where that can say to our market "You can take your IE7 and hit the road!" Thus while I wouldn't have been using these variables anyway, I would still have been very excited.

You do realize that many premium cars have exactly this mentality surrounding them?

Audis are notoriously difficult to work on, as were Saab's, and good luck finding somebody certified to service a Porsche in your area that doesn't work at a Porsche dealer.

Not to mention, people that spend that much on a car usually want performance parts or factory parts [not your average "OEM equivalent" parts] and a competent technician that specializes in working with their specific make of car. Why? Because they're uncompromising in the quality of the vehicle they just purchased.

To people like this, they don't care if they have to pay extra for an AAA membership because it's too difficult to jump-start their own car.

Why is it so unreasonable to expect that there are some computer users that hold a similar attitude about their "luxury" computer brand?
I hear this comparison often but to me the big difference lies in the order of magnitude of cost difference. A $2,200 laptop is different than a $30,000 car for a few reasons. The largest is probably the difference in purchasing behavior. I might save up for a few weeks to buy a laptop. I might have a car note for a few years.

To me that makes all of the difference.

I think people should educate themselves on the product and if it doesn't fit within their use case then they should find a product that does. I personally think that this is a terrific looking laptop and has enough local processing power that combined with my increasing cloud reliance could be a good fit for a number of years.

I'm actually surprised that the 4th Amendment isn't referenced more frequently in refutation to the asinine "nothing to hide" position.

"Nothing to hide" is thematically similar to the groan-inducing "Do you want the terrorists to win?" arguments against civil liberties, in favor of increased security measures, proferred and popularly supported in the mid-2000s. (Sadly, many of the legacies and artifacts of that position still persist).

The answer to any of these half-baked arguments should always begin with something along the lines of "Because we're better than that." Because we have a constitution that assumes we're good people, and that protects our civil liberties from invasion. Because these things are so fundamental to our nation's purpose that giving them up is much worse than being attacked. Giving them up threatens the very purpose of the country's founding.

Even to entertain these arguments, i.e., by trying to cite examples of areas of privacy or liberty that are negotiable, areas that aren't, and so forth, is to stoop low. It is to lose before the argument has actually begun. It is to accept the faulty premise that privacy is about hiding something -- that it is an active attempt to conceal information from the world. No, privacy isn't the action being taken. Invasion of privacy is the action. Privacy is simply a state of being, and one to which we have an inalienable right.

Privacy isn't something we opt into; it is something we don't even really consider until we are made, or compelled, or asked to opt out. "Nothing to hide" begs the question. It assumes, as a foregone premise, that privacy is an opt-in decision that we consciously undertake in defense of something (and that something is implied to be onerous or illegal). This is just fallacious logic, plain and simple.

It's unfortunate that a right to privacy wasn't inumerated directly in the constitution, but was instead defined indirectly. This is one of those areas where the founders really couldn't have known how far technology would go, and how important something like privacy -- which may have been taken for granted back then -- would become 200+ years later.

This looks like crap, I am sticking to LESS. It's not worth standardizing half assed stuff like this. These standards groups should open their eyes and look around before standardizing something.
That's the biggest draw that I currently see. I would love to reference other features that SASS and LESS still bring to the table, but the idea of JavaScript fiddling with CSS variables is mouth-watering indeed.
Thus the great Wheel of Reincarnation turns.

wheel of reincarnation

[coined in a paper by T.H. Myer and I.E. Sutherland On the Design of Display Processors, Comm. ACM, Vol. 11, no. 6, June 1968)] Term used to refer to a well-known effect whereby function in a computing system family is migrated out to special-purpose peripheral hardware for speed, then the peripheral evolves toward more computing power as it does its job, then somebody notices that it is inefficient to support two asymmetrical processors in the architecture and folds the function back into the main CPU, at which point the cycle begins again.

Several iterations of this cycle have been observed in graphics-processor design, and at least one or two in communications and floating-point processors. Also known as the Wheel of Life, the Wheel of Samsara, and other variations of the basic Hindu/Buddhist theological idea.

Good question. I think the term domainers is me succumbing to sqautters' attempt to sound more legit. I've updated accordingly and will give my brain 20 for falling for their attempted re-labeling.
Oh I agree entirely. The intent was to mock the comment about suitability for a task. Sometimes it is appropriate to do so to convey a point.

My sincerest apologies if such an approach is offensive.
In regards to what language is best, it probably won't matter too much unless performance is critical to the application. Just pick the language you're most conformable developing in.

There can be no limit on what the [i]viewer[/] decrees to be wrong. I believe the intent of privacy protection (e.g., by the 4th Amendment) is to limit the enforceability of such decrees to situations where 'crimes' are publicly discernible. This assumes there will be bad laws such as those against witchcraft, sodomy, bitter almonds, or harboring jews.

Those who ask if you have "something to hide" assume all laws are good, thus their enforcement should be absolutely boundless.

The 4th Amendment was not intended to protect against mere embarrassment.
> Multi-domain genies like Goethe, Da Vinci (, Jobs, Feynman?)

I'm sorry but I just can't let this go without comment.

Steve Jobs was not a "multi-domain genius." He had a single, very specific genius, namely gathering lots and lots of ideas and picking the very best one. (IMO the fact that he was an asshole is probably related but not essential.) His entire career was applying this single ability, which he really was a genius of, to multiple domains. He wasn't a genius at anything about those domains per se, just at what he did once he was working in them. I mean, the fact that he had any technical knowledge at all about operating systems or computer graphics already put him in the top tier of "business guys" but that's not the same thing as a deep understanding.

For that matter, let's keep going on your list. Richard Feynmann was a smart guy but all his important work (except superfluidity in helium, I guess) was made exploring a single theme, namely how to put quantum mechanics in a Lagrangian formulation rather than a Hamiltonian. He told the story once of the event that sparked his first interest in physics as a career, and it was his high school physics teacher taking him aside and explaining the principle of least action (the basis of the Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics) - he basically organized the rest of his career around understanding this principle very, very deeply. The reason he's famous in addition to being smart is that he found a new domain to apply it to, namely quantum mechanics.

My point is that while mastering a domain of application was important for these people, probably even crucial, it wasn't really the engine of their success. They first developed a single talent or interest, and then looked for a domain to apply it to.

None of his retorts really do much for me. I'm fine with people seeing me naked, seeing my credit bills, querying about relationships, etc.. I do have curtains, but it is just so the neighbors don't get pissed their kids see me walking around naked when it's hot.

There is one thing that convinces me, though. I see lots of companies with data just completely misinterpreting it and screwing people over all the time. For instance, I can open a bunch of tabs in Google Groups from Google Reader with the intent to read them later, and get banned by Google Groups because Google decided in their all knowing wisdom that anyone opening tabs that quick must by a bot who has to be banned. Similarly you see AdSense and PayPal accounts banned all the time when the person is actually innocent.

These draconian policies may be good for the company (since it makes sure the actual fraudsters are banned too) and bad for the innocents caught in the way, but as an innocent who can be caught in the way, it makes sense to give them as little data to make up imagined offenses with as possible. Having Google ban innocents all the time is one thing, but we can't really let the government get away with that. That's what the whole innocent until proven guilty business is about and the show me the corpse/evidence and trial by jury things came about because of.

> Get the specification of work nailed down as thoroughly as you can, it’s mutually beneficial to you and your customers.

I hate specs.

You won't know how to solve a problem before you've already solved it, so your spec will be wrong.

My customers pay for my time. Together, through an iterative process involving myself, the designers and the customer, we find good technical solutions to the problems they need solved.

I can tell them “this solution is difficult” or “this solution is trivial”, and they can judge the cost-benefit ratios along the way.

You've paid for 300 hours of my time. Let's make the most of that.

Then they don't understand the Apple product cycle and are currently being run by clueless monkeys.

if they want to do what you suggest, don't make a big announcement and don't put it across the front page...(bottom-left area is fine in case they're trying to limit the exposure). what they've done is just stupid and inconsiderate to the hardware team and apple's fans, who love these types of innovations even if they can't afford them yet.

most people who loved the idea of the air and apple's achievement with it didn't buy one when it came out, haven't bought one since, and still had fun hearing, reading, and talking about it.
