You don't "need" it of course. And you won't use it all the time obviously.

But have you tried buying Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 yesterday? Downloading that > 20 GB. Your 50 Mbit/s are 6.25 MByte/second and it takes 3200 seconds = a bit less than an hour. With a Gigabit connection you need 160 seconds.

Not everybody needs a guaranteed Gigabit. But it would be nice sharing up to a Gigabit with several people and dynamically add bandwidth if that group of people hits the limits long enaugh.
Does that mean they CANNOT notify you or its up to the discretion of the entity handing over the data? If the latter it still makes a strong case that a notification system would be used for such things if one exists for similar circumstances.

I completely disagree. Angry Birds, quite possibly the most successful mobile game to date, is a completely unoriginal title that just looks prettier than most of its competitors.

You cannot simply attribute your success to originality, without looking at the other 650,000 apps and ranking them by originality as well, and then correlating that with success.

I would predict that originality falls behind a large handful of other factors when it comes to calculating the success of a mobile game. I would not be surprised if originality was not a statistically significant factor in a game's success.

My 2 cents (with interest):

While I personally do, and always will, store my files in a strict, organised custom folder structure, I understand that many people prefer the "search for what you need" paradigm, especially when index and search capability is so impressive on modern hardware.

I think that the argument could be made that both Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04 (Specifically Unity) are pushing the afore mentioned paradigm. Having spent some time with both systems it seems faster (but not initially intuitive) to bring up the search box and just type what you want.

Applications have been going this way for a while now, including the advanced code completion and suggestion that almost seems to get in the way in modern IDEs.

I think what I'm trying to get at is that isn't a purely Apple issue. Google Desktop Search had the effect in my workplace of making many people much sloppier with "traditional" filing practices, but seemed to have almost no impact on their overall productivity. The emphasis on "almost" refers to the only 2 main problems (from a non-aesthetic, or personal preference point of view) with these systems.

Firstly, indexing everything on a modern, multi-TB file system is computationally expensive which-ever way you cut it. This probably won't be a problem if you're just indexing some photos and audio files, but throw some large documents with index-able content in there and it causes slow down on most searches. I've seen this happen on computers of all breeds and creeds, no matter how old, what OS, what hardware. Any poor SysAdmins out there who've ever had to deal with a company director with tens of gigs of email they insist is all "critical" will know what I mean.

Secondly, sometimes, hopefully not due to fault with the OS's or application's indexing or searching methodology, these indexes get corrupted. When this happens it can be a painful procedure to wait, while an index that took possibly years to build incrementally from a comparatively empty file system, tries to rebuild itself entirely from a very populated file system. None of the searches you do during this time are 100% reliable. I've encountered this on Windows 7 (Mainly because it's the main OS I use at work) but the problem is very difficult to avoid with any large index. Usually these problems occur due to hardware problems so insidious that they tend not to appear in many diagnostic checks. I've had memtest86+ report an error with one particular RAM module only once in 10 runs. I knew there was something wrong with it, every machine I put it into had a BSOD within a few hours ;-) .

These problems, although they probably sound like the paranoid troubles of an aging neck-beard (Full disclosure: I have no beard), are actually all too common, and are really the main reason I personally don't trust "Index and Search" based systems over the traditional "File and Find" methodology.

EDIT: I know many people will argue that Moore's Law will solve both of these problems, but I will posit that Moore's Law also applies analogously to used hard disk space.

It's interesting, and important, that you read right over the part of the complaint where it is explained that tiny high-powered magnets are qualitiatively different and more dangerous than the other metal objects that children might typically ingest.

Why? Because the completely nonintuitive nature of the danger is itself part of the danger. People think these things are less harmful than, say, tiny screws. After all, they're smooth and round and clean-looking. They'll just pass right through, yes? It's not as if humans have metal parts inside for things to stick to, right? You didn't realize the danger. I, until ten minutes ago, didn't realize the danger.

But the danger is there. From paragraph 18:

If two or more of the magnets are ingested [at slightly different times - ed] and the magnetic forces of the magnets pull them together, the magnets can pinch or trap the intestinal walls or other digestive tissue between them, resulting in acute and long-term health consequences. Magnets that attract through the walls of the intestines result in progressive tissue injury, beginning with local inflammation and ulceration, progressing to tissue death, then perforation or fistula formation. Such condition can lead to infection, sepsis, and death.

I love my buckyballs and I wish I didn't find this argument compelling. But I do. I've dissected intestines (in mice); they have very thin membranes. I've had too many magnets pinch me. I've tried to separate buckyballs on purpose with my fingers; they don't separate by accident. If they capture a piece of tissue between them they aren't coming apart until the tissue dies and a hole forms. If that hole spans your intestinal wall you have a very big problem.

Meanwhile, this is apparently not just speculation. There are data. This has actually happened. Presumably it can be made to happen again in laboratory rats if necessary, though I frankly doubt this complaint will get to that point.

All I can think about is his four young children. The man took his own life, and that's that. But his kid didn't do anything to have deserved a childhood knowing their father committed suicide. Some of the kids may even blame themselves for a big chunk of their lives for what happened.

I wish he could have found a way and the courage to live on -- for the sake of his children.

A man having committed suicide is sad. But four children growing up without their father is a real tragedy.
I honestly believe that there are some people who simply don't "get" hierarchical folder structures. And it's not a small percentage.

Years ago when Windows Explorer tree-views were all the rage our desktop app had them all over the place. And the number of support requests were phenomenal. We'd demonstrate the tree-view - expanding out folder nodes till you find what you want, the user would go "Oh that's how it works" and then a few days later would ring up with the same request. I think there's just some part of their brain that can't deal with the geometry of it or something.

I never claimed they literally can't do productive work, they're just not built to do it.

Touch interfaces and the corresponding on-screen keyboards are good enough for short texts but even writing a medium-sized email is a pain in the bottom compared to the full-size keyboards computers come with. Autocorrection systems make it less painful, but they're absolutely useless when writing formal languages like code or math and since their capabilities are limited, natural language writing isn't as easy as with a hardware keyboard either.

There's a reason for the name of the category "consumer electronics". They're meant to be good at consuming media, not producing it, that's what the workstation is for.
I should probaly have said recursive hierarchies is not intuitive for everyone. Everyone can understand shelves in drawers, boxes on shelves and so on. What is confusing to many is folders inside folders or drawers inside drawers arbitrarily deep.

Even if you could raise the money, I doubt that he would do it, or that it would be comparable to his OS X articles.

If you listen to Hypercritical (his weekly 5by5 podcast), you'll have heard that he struggles just getting the OS X reviews out the door. Since Apple is trying to move to a yearly release cycle, that’s just going to get harder. When’s he going to get the time to write an Ubuntu review?

It’s also worth considering that, “He has been a Mac user since 1984” (from his Ars bio). Part of what makes his reviews so good is his deep-rooted knowledge of the Mac platform, and having watched OS X (and previous versions of Mac OS) “grow up”, so to speak. I don’t know how much experience he has with Ubuntu, but I bet it’s not as extensive as OS X.

And that’s putting aside all the arguments of whether it’s a good thing to do, or whether the Ubuntu community would want him to write such a thing.

Bunch of people in a committee take three years trying to build the security token system to end all security token systems and have yet anything to show for it and we are sad?

Why are people trying to do this anyway? oAuth is just an idea. Hey here's a really good way to handle things and if you do it this way it has some really great benefits.

Why aren't these things like javascript frameworks where everyone has an idea. I don't think it's practical that every sdk and framework will use one security system that was agreed upon. It's just not going to happen. Everyone has unique requirements.

I think he's just upset that more people have concerns and needs and nobody can compromise to solve all of them. Well yeah. Naturally. They wouldn't be needs if people could just overlook them for someone else's idea on how to do it. They would just be problems people are looking for someone else to solve.

That is pair programming though. The point is to get the other user up to speed so they can contribute more to the project.

I like to think of knowledge as a resource with compound interest for the individual and especially for the company. Knowledge is built on what you already know and the more you learn the more ideas and knowledge you can generate. Teaching another is the key principle of pairing. If done correctly somebody should always be learning and teaching.

The walled garden thing is interesting. I (and a couple of other people I know) instantly reacted to Gatekeeper with "fantastic, I can lock down my Dad's machine and keep him out of trouble".

One step towards a walled garden doesn't place you inside a walled garden and in it's current form Gatekeeper is a good thing. Disabling it was the first thing I did when I installed Mountain Lion and it took about 15 seconds (including me not knowing where the option was). In this version of OS X I honestly think it's a non-issue.

The big question is whether this is the first step on a journey into the walled garden or just an individual step that happens to be in that direction.

Personally my feeling is that they won't ever take that final step. I think they get that OS X isn't iOS and that you can't apply the same standards for any number of reasons, both practical and political. Taking something away from people (which is what this would be) is a whole different thing to never having given it to them in the first place (which is what has happened with iOS).

But for now no-one knows. As I say, for now I don't see it as any issue with 10.8. Whether there is an issue with 10.9 or 10.10 or whatever, time will tell.

Regardless of TCO issues, I don't think this is a good idea, since you'd miss out on the real treasure of chapters 4 and 5, where using a Lisp lets the authors demonstrate interpreters and compilers without mucking around with parsing.

You've obviously read it, so this is just advice for anyone considering reading it using some other language: Just use Scheme, the flavor that SICP uses is a tiny subset and it takes a single lecture from the videos for them to explain it.
Like literally every programming language should have an implementation of HMAC-SHA1 around and lacking that, at least a SHA1 implementation. It's pretty trivial to build HMAC-<HASHFUNCTION> if you have <HASHFUNCTION> around. A working python implementation is literally 12 lines long.

Now if you don't have a SHA1 implementation in your programming language, that's a different problem.

3 Questions Good Coin Dealers Can Answer
Whether you’re looking to assess the coin value of your existing collection or you’re looking to add new pieces to your portfolio, you’ve got to find the right coin dealers to do business with. And the only way to tell if your coin dealer is worth his salt is to ask him these 3 questions:

Yeah, and they organize their albums by category, containing albums by year. Or they organize theyr albums by genre, containing albums by artist, containing albums in chronological order.

And how exactly does that differ from folders and does that support the point of the OP, that folders aren't difficult?

Title of post, "Simple Is Now Available To The Public," is misleading; per the Simple website: "Now available by invitation only." Maybe the fact that Simple has begun letting people in from their invite list was not flashy enough for the title.
