This is very cool - though this type of vehicle should really be called a "roadable-plane".

The real dream of the flying car is having the utility of a car (kids, groceries, etc.) with the ability to fly from point-to-point - not drive it on the road. The Jetsons had a flying car without wheels or roadability - that's the ideal.

This means the city-friendly / VTOL aspect is waaaay more important than the "fast taxi" approach being taken. The Moller M400 (I know vaporware) seemed A LOT closer to this.

Of course, the design of this vehicle makes more sense for today: land on a small runway on the outskirts of town, and then drive to your real location. This saves a ton of energy and seemingly works okay with existing infrastructure - assuming your city has a nearby airstrip.

Articles On Internet Marketing Are They Proven
You read hard sci fi and you don't have answers to these questions?

Q: How will humanity survive the radiation?

A: Build igloos or inhabit caves or just plain dig into the ground. Problem solved.

Q: How will humans remain mentally healthy?

A: The Internet and social interaction with other colonists. Also, there is a lot of work to be done growing plants, managing systems, exploring robots, documenting and cataloging all that we find.

People, today, already live in extreme isolation for extended periods of time by choice.

Those aren't even the hard problems to solve.
I'm against that plan though, because we tried the grand gesture approach and it didn't really lead anywhere. We don't need grand gestures, we need infrastructure and profitable things to do in space. For example, if somebody captures an asteroid rich in rare earths and begins mining it, they'll have every incentive to build a permanent station. We should build our way up and figure out how to make it work as we go, rather than trying to solve the hardest problem in human history with Big Up Front Design.

Okay, this might sound funny, but Firefox is actually faster than Chrome on my crappy netbook which has about a gig of RAM. Plus, it can handle more tabs (200+, don't ask) without bringing the thing to a screeching halt.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about an earlier version of Firefox -- I agree, there were problems there, but things have gotten much better with the latest versions. I run Firefox Aurora (which is kinda equivalent to Chrome's dev channel) and I haven't seen anything breaking yet.

I've also used Chrome [dev] for a while and while it was pretty good, it also decided to declare that "my user profile was corrupt" after every few days. Not fun. Plus, it could hardly handle 50+ tabs, but I guess that is due to the way the Chromium sandbox and tab threading model works (and the Atom processor in my netbook.)

tl;dr: I run Firefox Aurora (with 200+ tabs) on a netbook with 1 gig of RAM. Where's that memory problem you were talking about?
Yep, using http://news.ycombinator.com

I can't seem to save any changes from the extension options (all unchecked. Checking then saving just unticks everything).

I'll test on another setup in a few hours after work
Chrome definitely have changed their UI over time, however the changes have been so small you probably have forgotten (just removing buttons). It's surprising to think about it now, but it used to have a lot more of them.
I have found your sentence to be so succinct but explains a lot.
"I can't tell whether they are saying it is a good thing or not."

The whole point of the media is not to take sides. Generally it's not really a great result for either side -- Apple had the tablet injunction upheld and Samsung got a reprieve on the Galaxy Nexus injunction.
It sounds like your "what to do when I mark a mesdsage for deletion" setting is wrong.

What is a tray icon? Is that a windows thing?
Web Scraping from Android
I'm always surprised with peoples experience with Firefox memory usage of recent, it has been excellent for me. I can sometimes get upto 200+ tabs, while only sitting on 1.5GB of used memory. This is in Linux, but most of the memory-handling code shouldn't be that different between OSs in terms of GC algorithms.

As for restartless extensions, I think mozilla should really push people to switch their extensions to use the api. The other advantage is version independence, which helps with some of users pains of firefox.
What I've never understood is what exactly makes a computer snappy. My RAM is never fully used, CPU percentage often in the single digits, Solid state drive - still I feel like it could be snappier. I wonder where the deficit is?
I'd argue Mail falls short of Sparrow, especially if you use Gmail. The UI is significantly less impeding.
I will light a candle rather than curse your darkness! (I am not trolling and welcome this discussion !)

>>Almost all companies do? Or do you propose they use the public social web instead of groupware like Exchange or Google Apps?

Odd you equate google apps w/ exchange.

Most companies have an intranet that includes a wiki, evernote, or forum. Also, many source code control systems include a knowedge base, wiki, and comment system. Google docs + hosted domain gmail is easy to use, more secure, more robust, and lower cost than Exchange + Outlook. The reason large companies don't do this is they have sunk costs in Exchange and an admin who likes it -- why change? But for start-ups and new companies it is a no brainer. Licensing alone of Exchange (plus windows server with active directory) is prohibitive. Most users have IM accounts on AIM, Skype, or Gmail to use for chatting.

>>What's horrible about them?

UI, stability, security, documentation, user license agreement, required system resources, remote exploits that grant admin rights. I'll run out of space to list them all!

>>I don't see much of a monopoly effect unlike with Word

Good point, for example MS is appealing the verdict that it in fact abused its monopoly position with Word vs. Wordperfect. It is more subtle when it comes to Outlook. For example, the only workstations Dell sells come with a MS operating system, that includes IE and Outlook (but you must pay for Outlook/office after 2 months or something). Or staples. Or Office Depot.

>>why won't people switch

The power of mono-culture aka monopoly. It is well documented in the public record that microsoft repeated abused their monopoly position.

This is beyond the scope of email clients, but look into:

Novel Networking (IPX),
3COM lanman licensing,
Sysbase & MS SQL server,
Apple's UI lawsuit vs win95 that MS settled,
IE & Netscape,
Real media vs windows media player,
The Samba group trying to get docs ,
Word & Wordperfect,

At least, in Windows, explorer is pretty much instant.
The motion does not say that Internet access is a human right.

The gist of the motion is captured in the affirmation that "the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online, in particular freedom of expression, which is applicable regardless of frontiers and through any media of one’s choice" [http://www.regeringen.se/content/1/c6/19/64/51/6999c512.pdf]

The UN is simply affirming that the media through which a expression is conveyed should not change the understanding that freedom of expression is a human right.

It certainly didn't help much in getting my hopes high.
I use Linux, I don't really care about the other OSes, I never use them.
Because it isn't a "right" that is why. Once you go down that road it means that those that have have to pay for those that have not. No thank you.
Yep, most "consumer-level" end users would prefer to not be asked. I'm probably a bad nerd, but it's even true of me. When I go to my parents house for some holiday or another, I used to meticulously check everything on my mom's computer to make sure it was working well. Now I basically just jam on the manual software update button for everything she has installed that doesn't autoupdate, because she's too afraid or inconvenienced by the manual update button. Everything else, though, is just managing itself and she doesn't notice.

"Katakana are not used only for foreign words. Katakana are also used with onomatopoeia, newly coined words, names when you don't know the kanji, and more.

Furthermore, katakana can be used to vary the style in writing. It is not uncommon to see an entire sentence in nothing but katakana, often to express a certain emotion (even when it lacks foreign words altogether). In other words, ヲ is actually used once in a while.

In addition, in ancient times, katakana were considered the proper way to write the language, while hiragana were considered sloppy and vulgar. In this respect, katakana can be used to evoke an archaic style. "

There is an upcoming trial in the lower court. The judge who will preside over that trial issued an injunction earlier this week preventing the Nexus from being sold until the trial can resolve these patent issues.

Samsung appealed to the higher court, who agreed to stay (temporarily remove) the injunction - so that the Nexus can continue to be sold - at least until Apple files its response to Samsung's request and the court has considered the papers.
I don't believe it. Getting to Mars with people is going to be much harder challenge than the moon was. This[1] was a great episode of Nova (with Neil Degrasse Tyson) exploring the research NASA has been doing to prepare for a trip to Mars.

Dotcom's past crimes are not relevant. His past actions, or inactions, have no bearing on the crimes he is now being accused of.

The judge in the extradition case said in May that Dotcom should have access to the FBI's information. Unless/until a court says otherwise, the FBI will need to hand over what they've got. Can a 44 page document accurately summarize 22 million emails? I doubt it.

That's all you need to know about the feasibility of these claims.
Most of the fs calls have sync equivalents, but you only want to use them at application startup.

IO is slow, Node is evented IO, the requests come in and the requests (to the database) go out, the data comes in and the result is rendered to the client. Node deals with requests.

But let's say it was made to work like you request, and the docs were changed to reflect that. People learn they could throw some code in a file and call it node.js. (I've done that, using a fastcgi server implementation and adding a hander for it on a bluehost account.)

So now you have PHP but with Javascript as it's syntax, your developers build applications the way they do in PHP, you call Node slow and a thread like this launches on HN saying how bad the language is and how somebody should fix that.

If by "money" you mean $99 to buy a certificate from Verisign. Debian also has $99 to throw at Verisign, it's just making up its mind as to whether it wants to.

I'm not saying I'm happy about any of this, but complaining about the money makes you sound exactly as credible as someone calling Ubuntu suckers because they pay for SSL certificates. (Especially because SSL has all the same issues of root keys owned by rapacious trusted third parties, and a security benefit that isn't obviously that big, these days...)

Really? I have plenty of hardware that simply will not work at all without the binary blobs -- no graphics, no network connection, etc. I've tried installing Debian on some of my machines, only to find that it doesn't boot and I need to install Ubuntu instead.

Ubuntu wouldn't lose on mere "popularity" by being less pragmatic, they'd lose on hardware compatibility. It's pretty easy for a technical user who knows they want Linux to find hardware well-supported on Linux before they buy it, but the average user will come with a computer already purchased, and ask if Ubuntu works on their computer.

nice top-level categories. Too many doc pages can't even correctly do something that simple.

One thing I hate is fixed headers. If I'm scrolling down the page, I want to read whats on the page, not have you shove your branding down my throat while also reducing the amount of content on my screen. If your stuff is good, i'll happily scroll up and click on your stuff, but don't force it on me (this is a problem with blogs too).
BTW, you're being downvoted (not by me, though it's tempting) because at least a few of those are untrue.

edit: Chrome is still faster on Android for me, addons and extensions break all the time for me in Firefox, and I don't find the memory management to be any better. It's still horrendously slow in Linux and on my work machine with 12GB of ram it just freezes no matter what.
Apparently OP uses some JPEG feature to create custom header (EXIF?). It allows to embed HTML close to the start of the file. HTML ends with <!--, which saves HTML parser from choking on actual image data that comes afterwards.

Watch The Amazing Spider-Man
Cinematography of Watch The Amazing Spider-Man is by John Schwartzman and edited by Alan Edward Bell and Pietro Scalia under Columbia Pictures, Marvel Entertainment, Laura Ziskin Productions, Avi Arad Productions, and Matt Tolmach Productions studio. The film is distributed by Columbia Pictures which is due to be shown in cinemas on July 3, 2012.
The FSF whitepaper is still a bit ambiguous -- it says that they can't come up with a scenario in which they'd require Canonical to disclose the private key. It's not as strong as saying the GPLv3 text definitely does not require it, or, better yet, that they definitely will not require it, as copyright holders to GRUB.

Now because FSF is also the copyright holder of GRUB, their interpretation of the GPLv3 is trustworthy in this context, but in other contexts, the FSF doesn't get to issue retroactive interpretations about the text of the GPLv3. So seeking the advice of actual lawyers about what the actual text means is entirely reasonable.
Self driving cars first. Flying cars second. In that order, cannot happen the other way around. I agree with Erick Schmidt when he said "It's a bug that cars were invented before computers, or else humans would have never driven cars themselves". Hopefully we won't implement the same bug again.
I'm fine with the strategy perspective, but curiously omitting the presence of their competitors in the same vertical (but different niches) makes the article a bit too gushing and the picture just a tad biased.

To be fair I think the brand play is a much better game to play than the price game -- if you know how to play it -- since it inherently leaves more money on the table.
I believe that's true for some use cases, especially personal use with a single account, especially where integration with Facebook, DropBox/CloudApp, etc, might be valuable.

However -- at least for my primarily work and OSS-focused e-mail usage -- Sparrow's simplicity and focus is misaligned with my requirements and preferences.
True, though if I were the "music czar" at Apple, I'd integrate Remote.app into Music on iOS (preferably replacing the Music interface with Remote's, at least on iPad, though admittedly this is a matter of taste) and add Remote client support to iTunes on the desktop.

My mom still has trouble understanding the difference between playing music on Mac iTunes via Remote from her iPod touch, and playing the same music, through the same AirPlay speakers, from the same(ish) library, via iTunes Match, and in principle, she shouldn't have to (this is admittedly tricky to get right for corner cases, but in the common scenario where desktops running iTunes never vanish and all songs are assumed to be in iTunes Match, there should be some simple logic to optimize the mechanism given only "song" and "speakers", to avoid stuffing an iDevice with music from Match and draining its battery when all the music required is already available locally on a Mac running iTunes or even via iTunes Match from an AC-powered device like Apple TV).

It's useful as a de-sugaring step during compilation, not something people generally do by hand.
I quit firefox purely over its tendency to leak my entire RAM and force restarts. I was told at the time, and do believe, that the memory leaking was an addon problem. However... firefox was sold on the idea of addons. When your two main messages are "we're the most convenient browser; just look at all our awesome addons!" and "you can't use the addons, or your computer will implode", you've got a serious problem.

Our article about exporting e-mails from Thunderbird to Outlook has been one of the most successful blog posts since 2009: http://blog.nektra.com/main/2009/04/14/export-messages-and-f...

What triggered the article was the unresponsiveness from the Thunderbird team about ugly bugs we reported and they removed!
General safety was the first issue that came to my mind when seeing their website. If a thing like that goes viral we need to consider plenty of idiots on the roads making enough damage as it is already. Imagine giving them just additional angles from which they can crash into each other.

However, considering the current speed of research I believe (and hope) that before something like that goes "very" public and popular it will be already automated.
