I'm seeing nothing that actually proves that the DMCA was used. We know already that major record labels use Youtube/Googles "ContentID" system - which in itself isn't a DMCA claim system (although it can lead to it). Given the speed of the takedown, it seems likely this system was used.

Until one side comes out and confirms that they used the DMCA rather than the ContentID, trying to point the blame at the DMCA seems to be rather hasty.

That's a theory, but in practice it's often just a very thin veil for complaining about being downvoted.

Complaining about being downvoted earns a near-automatic downvote from me. It's the exact opposite of contributing something useful.

I hate it when I get downvoted, but I suck it up. Sometimes I knew it was coming, and sometimes it's only temporary and the comment ends up with a good score.

But regardless of how or why, I take it and move on.
It's a bold move on their part to say they'll stop supporting IE8, esp. since it has a fair share of users (and isn't really a bad browser, per se)

Folks no need for wiretap theories.. Skype has been tappable via using the stop start his of audio compression since its creation...ie Skype encryption is breakable via the stop start gaps in audio via audio compression used.

True such open holes does not affect text, except when skype forces it through China's servers.

The most secure approach is still encrypted text..

I realise my initial comment might have come across as more confrontational than I intended. I definitely agree that there's room for services catering to different academic experience and exceptions.

My main reason for supporting the removal of Flash is Adobe's lack of support for Flash on non-Windows platforms especially mobile. It took them ages to come up with a decent Mac OS version. And they already dropped further development and support for mobile. Did they ever get their mobile version working 100% correctly?

I think it was clear that Flash was going down years ago, but the fact that they've decided to drop support for the fastest growing computing segment should solidify the fact that everybody needs to move away.

HTML5 is pretty sucky in places but has the backing of several big players, it's open and works well on pretty much all platforms and it's being actively worked on. If Google, Mozilla and Apple give up, we just take the software and move on. Is there a downside to this scenario that I am missing?
Anybody read 'I'm feeling Lucky' by Douglas Edwards? He came across as a good judge of people to me, just based on my reading of the book. And he is not negative on many people in his book.

But he was critical of her, and there were lots of hints of bad blood between them in his book. Although he always remains very subtle in whatever he says.

Reading that comment, you share, reminded me of some sections of the book.

The closest to France I've ever come was reading "Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong: Why We Love France but Not the French" ( http://www.amazon.com/Sixty-Million-Frenchmen-Cant-Wrong/dp/... ) and it made this point: in France, a store is considered an extension of the proprietor's home, and a customers is like a guest who has decided to drop in. He must first find the proprietor and introduce himself, and he must be on his best behavior.

Wacky.

...but it is entirely congruent with the point being made here.

Perhaps Kamp is qualified to discuss what some 'load-balancers' do...

The proxy developers have always had their doubts about SPDY (you can see them when @mnot first proposed it as a starting point)

Terminating SPDY at the HTTP Router makes a lot of sense architecturally but I know some orgs don't terminate SSL at the load-balancer due to the licensing costs.

Ultimately we need load-balancing options and someone to develop the opensource proxies (haproxy, varnish etc.) into more sophisticated offerings.

Perhaps they'll be a SPDY module for Traffic Server

Calls don't go over supernodes: I frequently call people on Skype for a conference, with my brother participating on the same network, and when the call drops, my brother and me can still talk. Might be that this is an exception for extremely local connections, but I've had similar experiences in other situations as well.
I'm taking the cryptography course by Pr. Dan Boneh, it is awesome, it is really engaging, deep enough and all the material is very well done. Moreover I just discovered the second part of this course has been announced and is scheduled for early 2013, so it's fabulous.

All I can say is that for this course I would even be willing to invest myself even more (both in time and money) at the level of requirement of a graduate course. I really would be interested in paying the standart fee and follow the same course than the stanford students follow and have a kind of official credit in reward.
Windows Server powers Messenger and the upcoming notification service, which do exactly the same thing as Skype: messaging and video.

Moving an entire service to a different OS isn't quite that simple, so the simplest thing was to just add capacity using whatever was running at the moment.

Contrary to the article, Skype didn't previously use supernodes for traffic between NATed clients. They were just used for NAT hole punching and then the traffic was direct between the clients.

It is possible that after receiving a wiretap request Skype will route your calls differently. But they could have rolled this out by just upgrading the supernode code and keeping supernodes distributed.

It seems far more likely that they made this change for stability/reliability. Particularly after the Skype network crashes that have happened in the past.

If it'll be anything like the windows version of Steam, it'll likely manage games in parallel with the package manager, thus about as distro-specific as tarballs.

As long as Steam itself is packaged as .deb, .rpm and tarball, it'll probably work as well as other linux games.
There are many people who won't care about providing a designer with production server credentials. I'm guessing it's probably the same people who are looking for $25 tweaks. In fact, those same people would probably see it as a perk to the service that the designer implements the code for you.

The "safety" probably comes from them being hand-picked.

For those that care, they could make the CSS changes and image uploads themselves.

Most people don't know about IRC. I know that makes your head explode, but most of the designers I've talked to either thought it was a social chatroom or have never even heard of it.

> I'm not sure it's entirely relevant, but here's something the very-very senior flash dev at work said about that recent Dart port of the Flash API (which he thought was neat).

>>> "This little game was developed with Flash and later ported to HTML5 in only 6 hours. The new HTML5 version runs with smooth 60fps, which is almost impossible to achieve
with the Flash plugin!"

>> This is the kind of sentiment that shits me. Flash is measured by the worst of its developers.

>> Flash is capped at 60fps in the browser so as to limit the carnage, but can run at 120+ on the desktop. If the dude can't get his example game running at 60 fps in flash it's because he sucks, not the plugin. /rant

As far as I understand it, the API[0] author highlighted that the HTML5 port was consistently over 60fps (or constantly at 60fps if capped), whereas the Flash version was consistently under 60fps, and not even reaching the limit, hence no 60fps capping could be coming into play.

> Similarly, be prepared for a slew of super slow "HTML5" apps.

Inevitably, bad code will come. Flash on the web had one advantage: it was dead easy to block.

It's a shame that ActionBarSherlock is not further up the list. That library is downright incredible. But, knowing that devs are using the support library to backport many of the newer APIs is great.

Edit: I'd also like to point out AQuery. If you are an Android developer and have not seen AQuery, definitely check it out.
I think it's more about being forced into that business. The economics of cloud computing is so compelling, that it's going to be the rarest of companies that manages its own hardware and software (or even IT) in 10-15 years.

The code in the blog post is just longer and more complicated because it's generating multiple constraints from code.

The only reason my code doesn't look as simple as the above is because it's doing a lot more. For example, this line generates 9 constraints:

reservationConstraints loadPattern = [ linCombination [ (1.0, "reservation_" ++ k),
(-1.0, "reserved_" ++ k ++ "_" ++ p) ], 0.0 |
p <- (Map.keys loadPattern),
k <- reservationTypes ]

E.g.:

reservation_heavy - reserved_heavy_morning <= 0
reservation_heavy - reserved_heavy_afternoon <= 0
reservation_heavy - reserved_heavy_evening <= 0
reservation_medium - reserved_medium_evening <= 0
....

The change between Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 is pretty significant. There are a few key functions, but mostly the row and column count limits are gone.

Also, it's pretty from 2007 on. It's really easy to create something that doesn't burn your eyes out.

There a few additional functions, like iferror, that save on some of the most common inefficiencies in large spreadsheets.

The Ribbon interface means that you can't find any function ever. As opposed to an obvious search algorithm of looking through the toolbar menu, you have to wander your eye around non-linearly hoping to pick up an icon that looks vaguely related to what you are doing.

I don't know if it is 2007, but in Excel 2010 there are sparkcharts and there is also a way to embed a table with a barchart - which is actually a pretty awesome visualisation.

It's in my opinion a significant forward shift, not counting the ribbon. I still feel dirty using it though.
