Microsoft sorry over 'big boobs' software code
I'm sorry, but I really don't see that you have.

All you've done is say it's the odd man out and then ask what it protects. I just can't see that as anywhere near a sufficient argument. Or even an argument at all. It's more of a statement of your thesis without support.
Thanks for the tip! I will take that to heart.
Q: How's app.net going to work out? A:…
Good to know. Thanks for answering my comment! I went ahead and signed up for the beta as you struck my curiosity with the writing environment teaser!
As for my thoughts on removing old content, I get a kick out of going back through the websites I used to frequent and reading things I wrote. The pack-rat in me would prefer to always have access to my past work. But, I do understand the logic in wanting to keep all of the content fresh. Maybe you could remove it but provide an option to have an old piece salvaged for a small fee?
Well, I'll admit I haven't played Metroid (shame on me, I know) but both Zelda and Megaman add complexity and power to the player throughout the game. They do this in the form of new abilities instead of levels, but the principle is the same: your character now can do more than he could do before. There's no way I'd say on either of those games the "character came through about as strong at the end as it was at the beginning". XP may not be the underlining mechanic to improvement, but character improvement is a(if not the) core mechanic of both games.

The one game that I can think of as having an excellent portrayal of the hero's journey without character improvement is Journey.
Where are you getting pagan themes?

Seems like a straightforward attempt to get the government to officially acknowledge an important in scientific history.

zsh, emacs and screen here. Fantastic though that there are so many choices that work for such a variety of user.
The problem I can see is places in the world where there is no legal way to pay for it, where there's no PayPal, where most people don't have credit cards. Right now there's no barrier to joining Twitter - making it paid would create a new barrier. Having said that, I'm sure it would cut down on the number of spambots present, and so might have one or two advantages for those that could afford it.

I'm actually very excited about the intro to management science class so I'm glad to hear you resonated with it too. Yeah I plan to go onto my Masters. Part of this degree I see as improving my mathematical vocabulary if you will.

Maybe you could still leave it up to the author? i.e. just list inactive blog entries, for how long they've been inactive, and a quick way to delete some/all of them.
Yup i see your points and they make sense to me, really thank you for sharing and explaining them further ;-)
Fair. In my case I'm actually happy about the BA nature of the degree because so much of what I do and will do revolves around telling hypothetical stories about communities of people.
The theory is that certain risk-reduction measures work in general, minimizing the chance that some individual will engage in any kind of incident like the one in Aurora, Colorado. Gun control is such a sensitive issue in the United States that it is barely being discussed yet by politicians in connection with the incident this weekend, but differing national patterns of gun control have been mentioned by commentators who point to the example of Australia's response to the 1996 Port Arthur, Tasmania shooting

The thing is, gun control is a feel-good measure that does nothing. It's no different from "video game control" or "Internet filtering."

What do all of the following events have in common?

* The Virginia Tech massacre

* The Dunblane massacre

* James Holmes's movie-theatre attack

* The Columbine massacre

The answer, besides the fact that they were all committed with guns, is that the total body count in all of these incidents still falls short of what one guy with a can of gasoline was able to do at the Happyland night club. How many more gasoline-fueled deaths are we going to tolerate as a society before we require licensing and registration of gas cans?

If you want to solve the underlying problem, which is nothing more or less than catching undiagnosed mental illness early, you are going to have to do it some other way besides banning inanimate objects and tools.

Finally, your opinion as to what I "need" or "don't need" is not of any particular interest. History suggests that if you really want to maximize your odds of a violent death, you should let the police and military have a monopoly on violence.

Outright sale is nothing - at least there's a record!

The real story is AMDOCS, an Israeli/American intelligence asset so brazen in its strategy as to be successful. AMDOCS approach most major cellular carriers and sell them billing solutions. Once they're in to a network, they charge the network hand over foot to generate reports, integrate or alter systems. They even host billing systems themselves - external to the organization.

What information do you need to bill? Almost everything.

Think this is conspiracy theory? I read about these guys online. Years later I independently personally confirmed via two major US carriers, and a high ranking associate confirmed at one major Australian carrier.

Don't worry about companies - worry about the governments they front for.

PS. No I am not an anti-Semite.
I might use this. I suggest you consider defaulting to USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes (assuming you're in the U.S.), as that might make the swap seem slightly more equitable.
Yup that could be a way to go, although I think that when you leave it so, people will just forget to get back and change such settings hover again. For quick deleting you can already do this right now, straight form the public page of the article if you are logged in(as well as per editing)
Did the CIA get upset when France developed and tested nuclear weapons?

France at the time was a member of NATO. So, no, probably not.

Do some countries deserve trust while others don't?

I would rephrase it 'do some governments deserve trust ...

Yes.

Intent matters. The UK is not possibly going to blow up New York City. For a while there in the 50s and 60s the same could not be said for the USSR.

What has North Korea done, that caused the mistrust?

In no particular order ...

Last remaining Stalinist regime in the world.

Kidnap foreigners for entertainment purposes.

Started a war in 1950. One that isn't officially over.

In that war executed tens of thousands of citizens of the country they invaded.

Once in a while they do insane stuff like shell their neighbor' land, blow up parts of their navy.

Constantly dig tunnels under their border with ROK in order to bypass border defenses.

Udacity has a CS101 in Python that you can start at any time and can be mastered by a 9 yr old with parental guidance. Check it out. I am sure you will be happy with it and your son will have a good time.

Their interface is a lot better and their teachers are great, they've really created a new pedagogy around the new medium rather than adapt existing brick and mortar courses like Coursera and edX is doing. Mind you Coursera and MITx is a great way to get real college classes over the web, but Udacity is rebuilding the whole paradigm and is intensely analyzing data and tweaking to improve things.

Interesting take on how many businesses and startups are being run by the founders these days. Doug, I have one question for you: how do you feel the sales and marketing (or the neglect of them) affect how the founders are able to treat their staff?
Interestingly SNHU is a non-profit from what I've read though I'll admit I don't know what the real difference between that for profit is... People are still making money y'know?

Where did you see them labelled as a for profit? Or are you referring to them being a private university?
I am impressed. The fact that this post will no doubt get a lot of attention will strengthen the Jack Daniels brand rather then taint it by making the mistake everyone else does when writing a cease and desist making empty threats and being real rude.

Smart move on their part. I'm pretty shocked they offered cash to help change the cover design. One of the best things I've seen posted to this site in a long time!
It's not for me either (simply because I'm hacking about with my own CMS and if I want fullscreen posts I'll just add that :), but I like the idea of making it simpler a lot.

Can you please come up with a business model, maybe premium accounts, and then refuse to be aquired, ever? :)
When bad articles happen to interesting subjects. Thanks wsj.
That would be interesting. You can't totally screw over investors (you can screw them a little). Even if the founders hold majority shares the company needs to sell at a reasonable valuation. But you're right, I can see a scenario in which the founders supplemented their intake with the retention bonus (which is mostly likely in the 7 figure range) - and that would piss of investors.
This post by Mike Pall has a bit more depth about the assembly interpreter details, particularly about stuff like branch prediction: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.general/75426
Meh. If only there were some standard around it :-/
I personally hit that point when 10.4 rolled around.
No way. The service needs a low barrier to entry. They could probably charge for API access however.
I got a cease-and-desist from Coke a few months back and it was nowhere as polite and informed as this one.

Kudos to Jack Daniels - though I much prefer Bakers.
It's just lovely to see something done because it's a good idea, because it's "something you want to see", and not because it's cool or might make you rich... I think that's cool, and I hope it makes you rich :P
This is the first time I have read a C & D that made me gain more respect for the company it was from. It wasn't just polite, it was respectful, readable, and reasonable.

I will drink to that.
I'm fairly active on Twitter. I'm also a raving fan, enough to pay for a premium version if it were ever created. Features I would pay for: Personal analytics dashboard, some sort of auto-bookmarking/categorizing of my tweets with links, searchable archive of not only my tweets but the content I linked to, and more.

There are 3rd party apps that do something similar to archiving/auto-bookmarking: Trunkly was awesome, then they were acquired and integrated into Delicious (http://blog.delicious.com/2012/03/tweet-a-link-save-a-link/) and that is very cool. There are also amazing apps that provide personal social analytics. See http://www.simplymeasured.com. I'm on Twitter or using a Twitter client a lot. If these features were native to Twitter, they would be worth paying for.

I doubt I will switch to, or use, yet another social sharing platform similar to Twitter, let alone pay for it without having experienced it. Getting my friends to take the early adoption route alongside me seems unlikely too. Maybe a few of my friends would join, but a large majority would not.

Too many social networks have failed or aren't useful enough to me to invest any amount in. I won't be investing my money in a promise for something similar to another social network any time soon.
Yeah yeah. We are the product...etc.
Any web dev could build its own twitter. What makes twitter useful is not the tech per se, it's the size of the community. Add a pay wall and the size of the community will shrink to irrelevance. This applies to any social network in general.
Managed repositories are actually quite a bit different, since the requirements to edit emacs-wiki are quite a bit less stringent than those to submit a modification of someone else's package to a repository.

Apt, Yum, etc., require trust in the repository infrastructure and those select few with write access to a given repository. Emacs Wiki requires trust in the entire internet.

Yeah the program has some courses that seem directly applicable to my goals. Also, I have taken an online free course in statistics and probability from Carnegie Mellon and loved it.

I'm pretty excited by the school. It seems exactly what I want in a BA and seems well accredited as well which can be hard to find in an online program.

Thanks for your input!
Yes! This is where I want to get to. I don't currently have any degree.
Thanks :) being the richest guys of the graveyard is no our goal in life :-P
I have zero interest in a framework that does not have a dedicated team/developer behind it. It's a dead project, let it die.
Hmm. I don't like it. I wouldn't want it in my car. But I'm really thrilled that someone is starting to think about the UI in cars in a very serious way because most of the UI's in todays cars are horrible.
Ever wonder why it is that the CIA says that the US has a 99% literacy rate, despite the fact that this is vastly higher than the Department of Education estimates?

To quote from Jonathan Kozol's book Illiterate in America, "For one hundred years, starting in 1840, the census posed the question of the population's literacy level in its ten-year compilations. The government removed this question from its survey in the 1940 census. The reason, according to a U.S. Census Bureau publication, was a general conviction that 'most people [by this time] could read and write ...'

In 1970, pressured by the military, the Bureau of the Census agreed to reinstate the literacy question. Even then, instead of posing questions about actual skills, the census simply asked adults how many years of school they had attended. More than 5 percent of those the census reached replied that they had had less than a fifth grade education. For no known reason, the government assumed that four fifths of these people probably could read and, on this dangerous assumption, it was publicly announced that 99 percent of all American adults could read and write. These are the figures which the U.S. government passed on to the United Nations for the purposes of worldwide compilations and comparisons."[1]

In short the CIA world factbook is basically propaganda in order to make the US look like the best country on earth in order to justify a foreign policy based on subjugating people of 'inferior races'. I'm not saying that every single person who cites it is either a government shill or a white supremacist, but where there's smoke there's often a fire.

I would guess that this is aimed more at people who are creating their own 'vanity' url shorteners for their own use than those creating services to compete with Bitly (or Google's).
Pretty much the same as the "one splits, the other chooses which half they want" that my brother and I would use to guarantee fair splits of cookies or cake.
But what's the difference really? Zynga games vs. non-Zynga games, slot machines vs. WoW, and games vs drugs?

All of these things are designed to let you go somewhere else for a while. I partake in all of them, but also spend time volunteering and going outside.

I don't get the author's argument about how much better he is than slot machine players because he spends his free time using more intricate games than they do. Not to mention he gets about half his assumptions wrong, as pointed out in this thread. As in, which casinos charge money for drinks to anyone who's playing a game?
i don't get it.

While we're on the subject of sprite tools, I threw this together recently for trying out the drag-n-drop and file APIs: http://spreet.ejlevine.com/

The primary benefit of this tool is that it automatically lays out your images for you and, since it's all client side, doesn't require you to share your images with an untrusted sprite generator.
Yes, it has happened.

I'm comfortable forming an opinion based on the facts available. As I said in my comment, I'd like more info since it's ostensibly a public function to run a government court.

Otherwise we can all just run around with our hands in the air crying about how we just can't make a decision on anything in which we weren't directly a party.

Thomas Kuhn, the famous philosopher and historian of science (and physicist by training), wrote all about this back in 1962 when he published The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. This book brought us the term "paradigm shift", which he argued typically only happened when older scientists retired, leaving younger scientists to pursue avenues of research that disagreed with the entrenched orthodoxy, without the threat of being denied tenure.

I.e., science as never been the direct route from hypothesis to proven theory that they teach us in high school.

I think if I were only worried about a job I wouldn't go at all as I recently moved onto the Business Intelligence team at work because of how passionate and excited I am about the subject. I want more than I job, I want to deeply understand what I'm doing and excel at it. I'm going less for the short path (that I took in programming) and more for the most enriching.

Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it.
All I know is that a tiny little startup I work for got called, called, by a human, human, at facebook, trying to get us to advertise with them a few weeks ago.

Not bullish.
I loaded Facebook when I read this, and I have 3 ads on my timeline page. All 3 are appropriate to my interests.

One of them is for an independent film currently in theaters. Like newspaper ads for movies, it's more an "awareness" thing than a call to click.

One seems to be an app for "news geeks" to see what's most shared on Facebook right now. Interesting, though I''m not immediately anxious to click on it. Still, I now know it's something that exists.

The other is an ad for CalTrans for a fanpage for a study they're conducting on a particular Los Angeles transportation route.

All targeted to me, all at least sort of interesting. All things I'd never search for or have turn up in a google ad.

It's better than it has been.
I always dream of a day when people apologize for bad law. Cops would apologize for being asked to enforce prohibition, lawyers would apologize for even mentioning software patents. While I can forgive people doing the job they are compelled to do by the law (not everyone is ready to put their job on the line) it goes a long way to know that at least their hearts are on the side of reason.
This just goes to show that you don't need to be a complete a-hole to be a good lawyer.

Government accountability is a complete joke, but we should expect and demand better.
