Architect is an interesting concept. I had thought about doing something similar using EventEmitter as a kind of "plugin bus" between different parts of the app. Has anyone who has used something like this for complex sites comment on implementation strategies and how they grow with age?
Businesses are sociopathic - especially since corporations claim the rights of a "person" under law.

Current North American society appears to deem sociopathic behavoir as being evil - so it's not much of a stretch to claim businesses are evil.

Not saying they can't act good or do good in society though as many obviously do. It's also worth noting that good/evil are not objective binary things - so your definition of evil is likely different then the GP's.
In Romania a lot of the laptops come with FreeDOS so there is no Windows tax. Of course, these are usually the cheapest ones since it's expected that people will install pirated Windows.

Although they come with FreeDOS, this is not a signal the hardware is Linux compatible.
It doesn't matter. Means and ends are different things.

Darwinism made us reach here as a species, it doesn't mean we have to consciously apply it.

Thing is, we can afford to be fair. The argument that you have to make your ends and means coincide is simplistic.
Even easier, donate to FDNN without directing the funds to Wikileaks. Part of it will go to WL, but the rest will go to laquadrature (fighting ACTA among other things), some free software associations and some independent ISPs.
If there is some contractual obligation Dell has with Microsoft to not do this then we need to start considering another round of antitrust proceedings.

There is, that's why some computers come with FreeDOS.
The issue with that strategy is that it's totally untenable. As soon as Step 4 happens, someone else makes a new CentOS that everyone switches to.

Fundamentally, there is a market need for something to fill the niche of CentOS. I happen to think that free-Oracle-Linux can be a better CentOS than CentOS, but if they were both to suddenly go away, something new would come to fill the obvious void.
> There is no physiological model for human intelligence...

No? I've read several. For example:

"The pronounced convolution of the human cortex may be a morphological substrate that supports some of our species’ most distinctive cognitive abilities. Therefore, individual intelligence within humans might be modulated by the degree of folding in certain cortical regions. We applied advanced methods to analyze cortical convolution at high spatial resolution and correlated those measurements with intelligence quotients. Within a large sample of healthy adult subjects (n = 65), we detected the most prominent correlations in the left medial hemisphere. More specifically, intelligence scores were positively associated with the degree of folding in the temporo-occipital lobe, particularly in the outermost section of the posterior cingulate gyrus (retrosplenial areas). Thus, this region might be an important contributor toward individual intelligence, either via modulating pathways to (pre)frontal regions or by serving as a location for the convergence of information."

http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/content/18/9/2019.full

And:

When we examined the same regression model excluding ICV, some cortical measurements were associated with IQ frequently in frontal and temporal lobe. It might conclude that human intelligence is significantly correlated with the cortical complexity coming from brain size, rather than cortical shape itself. The combination of various cortical measurements explained 52.57% of IQ. The results showed that they were more useful for prediction of human intelligence than alone.

http://www.iaeng.org/publication/WCECS2011/WCECS2011_pp428-4...

I'm not defending these particular papers. I'm just baffled at the comment that there are "no" physiological models for intelligence.

The following paper appears to directly contradict your assertion that "there does not exist any inheritable, physiological difference that would influence intelligence":

"Variation in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volume of the adult human brain is primarily genetically determined. Moreover, total brain volume is positively correlated with general intelligence, and both share a common genetic origin. However, although genetic effects on morphology of specific GM areas in the brain have been studied, the heritability of focal WM is unknown. Similarly, it is unresolved whether there is a common genetic origin of focal GM and WM structures with intelligence. We explored the genetic influence on focal GM and WM densities in magnetic resonance brain images of 54 monozygotic and 58 dizygotic twin pairs and 34 of their siblings. ... These findings point to a neural network that shares a common genetic origin with human intelligence."

I don't know what the current situation is for Dell, but a couple of years ago I worked at a company that sold laptops like this, mostly targeted towards businesses but ocasionally catering to regular users. The moment they saw a cheaper option of the same laptop (no OS pre-installed) they went for that and then came bitching the same day that their computer wouldn't boot.

I imagine Dell must suffer from the same problem on their online stores.

You could also argue that as a government agency the LoC should prioritize important archiving tasks that aren’t already being done by the private/non-profit sector. Despite being a corporate controlled medium, Twitter is still an important communication medium and should be archived. For whatever reason, others aren’t doing it, so it’s an obvious thing for LoC to do.
When I finally bought an iPod, it had 60 GB of storage. I thought, "Which albums of mine should I upload to it?" Then I remembered, "Oh right - all of them!"

My point is that deciding what to store is expensive and error-prone, with false-positives and false-negatives. Storage is so cheap, that there's an argument to be made that they can just store everything they want to.
Very good point hadn't thought about that! Thanks

ORMs -- in my case ruby's ActiveRecord -- solve nearly every use-case I have. Find a record by its primary key; get a record and all of the associated records from another table; update a record with a bunch of data? Why should I write any of that SQL? It's a waste of time.

Is ActiveRecord running n+1 queries every time you call a method? You're doing it wrong. Ignorance of how an ORM works is not an indictment against ORMs.

Is ActiveRecord generating really bad SQL for the fifty-table report you want to generate? Fine, ditch it. Run your own custom-written SQL, or a stored procedure, or whatever. Just because an ORM can't write all the SQL you'll ever need does not mean that they're useless.

US planned war in Afghanistan long before September 11

US 'planned attack on Taleban'

A former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the US was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taleban even before last week's attacks.

Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26410.htm
U.S. government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and recently posted on the website of the George Washington University National Security Archive shed some additional light on talks with the Taliban prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, including with regard to the repeated Taliban offers to hand over Osama bin Laden, and the role of Pakistan before and after the attacks.[1]
...
It is already known that the U.S. had demanded in secret discussions with the Taliban that bin Laden be handed over for more than three years prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The talks continued “until just days before” the attacks, according to a Washington Post report the month following the attacks. But a compromise solution such as the above that would offer the Taliban a face-saving way out of the impasse was never seriously considered. Instead, “State Department officials refused to soften their demand that bin Laden face trial in the U.S. justice system.”

U.S. Rejects New Taliban Offer
Oct. 1 [2001]

The United States today rejected yet another offer by Afghanistan's ruling Taliban to turn over Osama bin Laden for trial in a third country if the U.S. presents evidence against bin Laden and stops air attacks.
...
"There's no need to discuss it," Bush said. "We know he's guilty. Just turn him over. … There's nothing to negotiate about. They're harboring a terrorist and they need to turn him over."

Couldn't Osama claim that he knew there were criminals in those buildings that he attacked and that there is nothing to negotiate about?

Anyone decrying Oracle as "evil" is falling into a trap that I have warned about[1]: they are making the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison -- they are infusing Oracle with humanity that it does not in fact have. Oracle is, as another commenter put it, a corporate sociopath. The inability to empathize is fine for a monopolist (and indeed, it's a terrific asset -- and after five months of working there, I concluded that it's the only thing that I think Oracle has any real talent for), but it's terrible for a technology company. In particular, the inability for Oracle to see anyone other than themselves leads to decisions that don't just erode trust, they destroy it beyond all repair. What you are seeing here are the costs of Oracle's decisions: it's what Oracle did to Hudson, to MySQL, to Java and to OpenSolaris. If you honestly don't understand that -- if you truly believe in your heart that the dismissal of Oracle is somehow merely Occupy-esque anti-corporate sentiment -- then you yourself probably have an inability to empathize that should bode very well for your future career at Oracle.

Yes, you're absolutely right, and that wasn't my intent. (If I could edit it, I'd tone it down a little.)

My goal is just to have people consider the case on its merits.

If you've thought about it and concluded "OK, I see what you're offering, but I'm distrustful of Oracle based on past behavior, and that outweighs your benefits", awesome. I might not agree, but at least we had a reasonable discussion about it.

As opposed to, e.g. "Oracle bad. Google good. Microsoft bad." (Which I'm totally guilty of myself, so I get where people are coming from.)
"It is up to each of us to form an opinion using the evidence that we have available."

This sounds noble, but in fact it is the way of madness.

Information does not stand on its own. Without the right background knowledge and experience you cannot assign any level of certainty to a deduction you make from a piece of information.

Just because you are capable of interpreting some of the information and forming reasonable deductions from those pieces does not mean you have an accurate holistic assessment. Your ignorance of the entire picture, while unintentional, will invariably lead you to make incorrect assumptions about the pieces you have not considered or do not understand.

An informed populace is, on the whole, a good thing, but the adage "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" still rings true. You simply have to accept that you will not, in your lifetime, be able to understand absolutely everything that anybody knows (never mind all that there is to know), and that you must cede your opinions about such matters to those who do, and if there is reasonable dissent, then you will have to reserve judgment altogether.

The neat thing about architect is that some plugins provide "services" or named APIs and other plugins consume such named APIs. It's interface oriented programming. The service names are simple short strings and that's why architect has a feature to alias services should name conflicts arise.

Using pure events works too (as does dnode and smith), but for large projects they tend to get hairy. Architect separates concerns into defined interfaces provided by configurable plugin instances. It keeps things clean and configurable.
