They used to. Back in 2007 I remember ordering some of my facebook photos as physical prints. Not sure what happened to that.
Max they store is 2048px on a side, which is plenty for a 4x6 print. That doesn't mean that all of Facebook's photos are stored at this resolution, as I believe the max size was increased relatively recently.
Sorry if I sounded frustrated.

Don't listen to the haters. EmacsLisp is a real Lisp. You can use it to do solve real problems. It gets better all the time as people add stuff that has worked for years to the package archives (see elsewhere in this elnode thread where someone adds a redis client).

What I would say is you need to reach out more, come to #emacs and ask lisp questions. Play with Emacs (it's SO easy) and check out all the videos that people have been doing recently (http://emacsrocks.com/ and the one from me today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7DPvEi7Jg).

Elnode is a good way to get into Lisp because it's easy and it's in Emacs which is just a great Lisp environment.
As a scientist, I wouldn't worry about someone's lowered opinion who judges a scientific text by the font.

Wouldn't it be much cheaper to offer a life insurance policy for each employee that would pay out enough to generate this much income at a relevantly low interest rate? Or is that what they are actually doing and just packaging it differently?
That was exactly what I was thinking.
People do read, and some likely thought twice about clicking "Continue", and did not post because of the ridiculous license. If it happened too frequently, CL might have noticed a dip in posts.

Isn't WINE just an implementation of Win32 APIs? From that respect, wouldn't the recent Google-Oracle case preclude that from being an avenue for lawsuit?

"Hell, as I check my e-mail, I notice with a resigned shame that my coworkers—smart people I consider to be excellent writers—are unironically using the word “spearhead” as a verb in an e-mail thread."

Aaaaand this is where I dismiss the author as simply looking for things to complain about.

Complaining about names (as if that even matters).
Complaining about the way they dress.
Complaining about the way they talk.

Might as well end it with "get off my lawn!"
That's a completely different system where Amazon themselves "lends" the book to Prime members only. LendInk allowed people who bought Kindle books to connect with people with which they could use their "lend to anyone you like" feature, which is included as part of the "purchase" of the Kindle book.

In some cases, Amazon went as far as to simply buy a copy at full price and then only give access for the regular lending period to promote the Kindle Lending Library, but that was only for high profile books like The Hunger Games where they couldn't strong-arm the book publisher to agree to better terms. If this doesn't sound like it makes sense, think of it as a loss-leader for Amazon Prime for Kindle (device) owners.

Are there really no instances of rewrites succeeding? Are we sure that projects that failed doing rewrites wouldn't have failed more painfully if they'd continued dealing with the cruft of the old codebase?

It's possible the problem is more in how these projects went about their rewrites, than just the fact that they did. What was the scope of the rewrite - did they simultaneously re-architect, redesign the UI, and try to implement all their hoped-for features (second-system effect)? Did they try to re-use old modules (temporarily or permanently - did they not reuse enough, or did they invest too much time making old code compatible)? Did the entire team immediately switch over to working on the rewrite, or did it get too few resources?

It might be worth investigating how a rewrite could possibly be done successfully, instead of assuming that the only option is to slowly refactor.
More the other way around, that I'd read about how to do such things and then saw an opportunity to put them to use.

I had been self-teaching assembly for a couple years from library books and doing other toy programs. One book, possibly one of Peter Norton's, covered the partition table in sufficient detail. (And I was hacking only one byte in it, nothing sophisticated.) Reading and writing a disk sector in assembly was commonly covered in reference books. So was writing a TSR to hook the timer interrupt, which I'd already done for some other purposes. The actual logic of looping through segment B800 looking for text wasn't hard in assembly. Overwriting and masquerading as a legit program (VSAFE) isn't a technical challenge at all. The hacker chops were thinking my way through the detection methods and countermeasures, more so than the actual programming.

If I hadn't had that background, I would probably have hidden the games with less sophisticated methods. Bury them in deep subdirectories, maybe zip them with password encryption. And it was done for the challenge more than the results; I had a home computer that could play all the same games.

Anyway, I'll relate another story.

There was an annoying kid in my computer science classes, the type who thought he knew it all but was pretty clueless. One day he was complaining that a game he had downloaded required more RAM than his home computer had. I told him I'd give him a copy of a utility that would do on-the-fly compression of RAM in DOS. (At the time, Stacker was big for disk compression, and there were real utilities that did memory compression in Windows. So it was plausible.)

Of course, my "utility" was a trojan. But I was subtle about it. The trojan dropped an executable with a blank name (an Alt-255 character) and stuck a reference to it in AUTOEXEC.BAT, which was invisible and looked like a blank line. The payload would trash the partition table, only if the system date was a month later than I originally did this, so he wouldn't be tracing the time bomb back to me. (Yeah, this was nasty. I was a youth with power.) I don't know if he actually ran it or if the payload ever went off; the bomb date was in the summer after school ended.

But the real fun part is the postscript. The outer trojan was in QuickBasic (the dropped payload was assembly.) Years later, my brother was playing with QuickBasic to learn it, so I gave him a copy of my QB directory with several dozen of my programs to play with. A few days later he tells me that his computer won't boot. Yikes. I put together a boot floppy with a Norton disk repair utility to start digging, and eventually notice that the partition table had some corruption that looked oddly familiar. You guessed it, my own brother had run my old nasty trojan and got his partition table nuked!
Though also note that many of the letters in the menubar text do indeed contain #000000 black, at least in Lion (no time to upgrade yet). Why? Because the contrast works – particularly given the non-white background.
Well, you've heard about those "unmanned" drones...
From Wikipedia on Double Jeopardy:

The exception to this exception exists between city and state sovereignties located within the same state. Although cities are different sovereignties than the state they are located within, the two are not permitted to attach jeopardy more than once cumulatively.
I think bin/germane-comment would have been a great pun.
Well, there was a biohacking group in Los Angeles doing neural tissue cultures to replicate similar work.

http://biohackers.la/

http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/fbi-diybio-2011/2011-07-13...

Regarding the other comment that was asking about how flying a jet might be insufficiently advanced: basically it's just wired up to Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the neural outputs are hooked up to the essential inputs and controls of the simulator. Hooking up an actual tissue culture with an electrode array tends to be more difficult (or at least more work) than wiring up keyboard bindings to a weight-summer network thing.
At first I was thinkign "double jeopardy" but the article explains why that isn't the case. Basically the federal law was misapplied so the state of New York can bring their own charges (actually, they could probably do this anyway).

This does seem wrong to me because he's essentially being charged for much the same crime on the same set of facts. It seems like when the dual-sovereignty Federal-State system was created the idea was that that the Federal and State governments would be responsible for different things such that you would be violating either Federal or State law (or possibly both but for different offences).

This seems like prosecutorial abuse.

That all being said, if you consider the facts int his case: the code in question was highly sensitive and as much as the article calls the action of sending it to a server in Germany (IIRC) a "mistake", it seems fairly clear to me that it was or was intended to be theft.

Just don't take code from a former employer. Ever. This is a good rule of thumb for every engineer to follow,. Even if what you're doing isn't (likely to be) criminal conduct, you can then run afoul of copyright claims and so forth if you ever implement something similar.
Four years of being in the working world would have put them in the same standing, plus they'd have valuable experience to propel them into better jobs.

Four years of being in the working world would have had them working in the kind of job one could get with a high school education and no experience. I see a lot of people say they'd rather hire employees with four years of experience than hire straight out of college, but I don't see many who are hiring high school graduates for those first four years.
It could if had its own set of wheels+servos. But it would still have to be powerful enough to attract the router through the surface.
Community effects can never bring a poor technology to the top. They can keep a great technology from overtaking a good technology, though. But TextMate's success was not only from the community support, but also from its capabilities. Snippets were one of its cool features, for example, that helped it gain success.
The ironic thing about this article is that it encodes the text images as JPEG. I wonder about image encoding's effect on credibility.
Great idea! Sorry if I'm dense or missed this, but how does Bidkat make money? I was assuming a transaction fee on top of the closed bid, but it seems that it's totally free to the buyer and seller? Maybe I missed the FAQ?
Here's your honeypot `j45`.
CL has also removed themselves from search engines, so PadMapper can no longer use the google cache workaround.

I don't think they can go back to scraping either, but I'm not certain of that aspect of it.

This may be the real reason behind the change. Perhaps CL just doesn't need it any more.
Ok makes sense, so that legitimizes something like PadLister. Does this however enable one to scrape CL for data?
Morbid as this may be, it's common practice. There was a scandal about it involving Walmart not long ago where they gave absolutely nothing to the family.

It's not easy, but in many respects OEM's weren't even trying.

Suddenly, they all seem to have the technology to build ultrabooks, a year prior, one one had any technology that could even remotely come close?

The same goes for so many aspects....battery life, screen resolution, looks....Apple blows almost every single other company out of the water on almost every important aspect, except perhaps price, and even there you can even make the argument that they are better.

So yes, it is hard, but it didn't just suddenly become not hard in the last year where some OEM's are finally starting to come out with attractive products. And despite how hard it is, Apple somehow solves almost everything - the only thing OEM's seem to take an interest in solving is either hitting a very low price point (and they'll cut every corner it takes to get there) or the extreme upper end of performance.

When this story broke it inspired a similar story about a dog brain in a dish playing Quake 3, which was later revealed to be a hoax: http://home.actlab.utexas.edu/~dbailey/project1.html
Lessons I took away from the Mythical Man Month:

Version 1: Get to market, prove your product, make a big mess

Version 2: Make a ton of mistakes, screw everything up trying to clean up the mess but get sidetracked with all the great ideas you don't have time to implement

Version 3: Scale back, get smart, and build what version 2 should have been in less time

In my experience, most companies either get completely discouraged or worse yet just wreck themselves on version 2. The nice thing about iterative development is that the V1 - V3 spectrum happens fast and your failures are smaller.
Considering that your Hire me banner covers one of the Sign up links then yes, this will have an adverse affect on signups.

Two things: CL didn't pull back as far as it could of:
> This new language was a marked difference from prior Terms of Use (2008/2011), which clearly stated “craigslist does not claim ownership of content that its users post.” While this clear language has not returned to the TOU, the same result comes from the non-exclusive license currently in the TOU.

And why can't the EFF just quote the current passage in its changed form? The post itself is still unclear. Is this the affected passage?

> You automatically grant and assign to CL, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant and assign to CL, a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, fully paid, fully sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide license to copy, perform, display, distribute, prepare derivative works from (including, without limitation, incorporating into other works) and otherwise use any content that you post. You also expressly grant and assign to CL all rights and causes of action to prohibit and enforce against any unauthorized copying, performance, display, distribution, use or exploitation of, or creation of derivative works from, any content that you post (including but not limited to any unauthorized downloading, extraction, harvesting, collection or aggregation of content that you post).

Mars rover (Curiosity) makes first colour panorama
The Terms (https://www.bidkat.com/terms) seem to imply that "upgrades" will be sold at some point, but it's not clear what upgrades.

"By selecting an Upgrade you agree to pay BunKat LLC the fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-pay basis at the time of purchase for an Upgrade and will cover the use of that service as indicated. Upgrade fees are not refundable."

Also, I'm confused -- where does the payment transaction happen? Does it happen inside Bidkat or is that part left up to the transacting parties?
This is a great concept. Here's a use case for you that you might want to figure out -- how do you deal with people who are just "bid trolling"? Any way to make a bid binding?

How to create a form and simple frame with Java Swing
There are currently two ways: people can purchase bid activity about the item they are bidding on (this is free for the sample, but costs for other auctions), and people can donate after they receive an offer. If we can't make it work like that, we'll try other methods (though never with ads).
I highly, highly doubt this. How many users on a given day are brand new users? How many are users who have used CL occasionally or regularly? And how many of those are likely to read the text of the license on their nth post?

Very, very few, I bet, unless CL highlighted the change in red and made them click through a few Confirm dialogs.
Prediction: The router will be cheap, the special plywood with the calibration stickers will be very expensive.
> I think it would create a huge vacuum in the market, and the OEM's would simply flood the market with Linux machines. Normal people would just buy those Linux machines, while the more savvy users would keep pirating Windows for a few more years until Linux becomes a more viable market.

What's your thought process behind this?

No one's talking about MS pulling Windows licensing for starters. But even if they did, I can't imagine any reason the market would go from where we are to where you describe, unless the hardware MS produced was absolute crap.

On the scale of human brains, the type of flying described in the article is actually pretty easy. I've taught children as young as six years old to do it [in the pods shown at http://www.museumofflight.org/programs/aviation-learning-cen... ], and even younger kids show promise but didn't have the physical ability to use the control setup (the stick was too big, the chairs weren't tall enough, etc.) Honestly, walking is a considerably more elaborate task than flying a jet on a PC simulator.

I'm still impressed that an artificial brain was able to do it.
Ok, makes sense, but worth putting it up there so that it's clear how you will (and more importantly, won't) be making money so people can feel safe running their bids through you.

Also, make it clear when and how the payment part of the transaction happens -- that's not clear either.
Currently the only upgrade is bid activity when making offers on an auction. Payment between parties is left up to the parties. Since we're focused on local sales, this is generally face to face when the item exchanges hands.
I think this is correct, though the EFF post is too vague, and doesn't quote the passage in its current state.

Also, CL has not removed itself from search engines. They're using NOARCHIVE.
How would you do "pledges" in bitcoin? Credit/Debit card pledges work by only extracting the money of the funding goes though. That seems impossible with Bitcoin without either (1) trusting the crowdfunding site to refund you (2) trusting the users to go through with the payment when the date hits (3) Some kind of third-party, trusted, card company-like escrow server
I'm completely confused by the second sentence here:

"Unfortunately, for one reason and another, despite a delay for a fourth release candidate, there are still some circumstances where an upgrade will not re-register some built-in extensions, and silently exit on first launch (just re-run it). On the down-side that can affect spell-checking dictionaries, and (for some) on the up-side disables Auto-COrrection too."

I'm wondering if it is significant that the second letter in "COrrection" is capitalized? Like, the feature that automatically corrects TWo INitial CAps will be disabled? But some people find that auto-correction annoying and will consider it an "up-side" that it's disabled? Doesn't really make sense to me, but it's all I can think of here.
I used your listing as a "test case" to enter in various dollar amounts to see how the interaction design and app works. The $1,500 bid that was inputted/accepted was mine after I started bidding at $1,000. The first price counter price I received was $1,880, then $1,6XX, then it finally accepted my $1,500.

Did you have any control on how readily/quickly/aggressively you discount your price when creating a new auction listing?
Prevents people from making ridiculous offers, especially by mistake. We want buyers to come away from BidKat feeling just as good as the seller.
While he did do something wrong, I'm sure it doesn't really help many publicly-elected officials much to do Goldman a favor right now. I for one am not sure whether or not to be cynical and think Goldman is exerting influence or believe that somebody in New York is living up to the responsibilities of their office.
Your posts are not straightforward.
Here's the wiki quote: "By contrast, such a conclusion has been deemed unwarranted by medical experts and not confirmed by clinical research. For example, in one meta-analysis giving evidence opposite to Lustig's opinion, fructose consumption actually reduced blood glucose levels with no effect on body weight."

It's not "some people" but instead the clear majority of nutrition researchers / specialists. Your argument about "unproven" vs "disproven" is a straw man. Having extensive meta studies that show no support for Lustigs thesis is as close to disprove something as it is possible to do so in nutrition discussions (even though most nutrition studies have major problems in their quality and samplesize quantity).

Further, in your original comment you wrote "modern science has shown us that it's simply not true." and your only support for this was the linking of Lustigs youtube-video (which, to say it nicely, is at least heavily contested). I agree with you that there are many open nutrition questions (and that it is important to keep an open mind for new concepts / ideas), but to postulate that science has shown that "calories in, calories out" is wrong, is untrue.
I think this is definitely the wrong place to have an indepth discussion about the topic, but i just couldn't let your original statement stand by itself without a reply.
And oh the fun that the ethics questions will become if this takes root and if the brains somehow show a level of consciousness in the future.
