I try to stay away from terrorists, especially "Freeman" types. "Lawful Excuse" does not mean what they think it means, and overall, the movement has been co-opted to promote vexatious litigation.

Once your lien is established, You file a complaint in court (whether County, or CQB if .uk/.au/.nz/.ca), issue a seizure order for the judge to rubber-stamp, and direct the Sheriff to go seize property for you. I've personally witnessed it working in 3 canadian provinces (BC, AB, SK), and 2 states (California and Arizona). I'm hesitant to name names, though; if you're curious, and you can find a public court registry (most canadian provinces have them online), start looking up the names of the current or former chiefs of police, wardens (Maricopa County, AZ is great for this). you'll see lots of proper process and liens.

This is outside of registering your lien with Equifax/Experian/TransUnion (which is also very effective), should you want to affect their overall credit history.

Personally, as I enjoy banking/finance waaay too much, I like to sell my liens to foreign banks. One law enforcement officer I encountered had all his assets seized (including his house/credit cards), but it only satisfied approximately half the debt owed. Once a wage garnishment order was in place, the rest of the debt was sold to a fairly large corporate bank in New Delhi. Now the officer (who currently has a desk job) pays all but $200/month of his wages to this bank until the lien is paid.

TL;DR: don't worry whether or not they'll be honorable. Get the courts to force them to pay.
I find that "the network effect is pretty strong" is an understatement. Facebook is not just a social network, it's a pervasive platform. Not to mention that FB and Myspace were fairly different (Myspace accounts were a mess), and right now G+ seems to largely be a FB clone.
Right; this is a lengthier restatement of what I just said. The CSM isn't L’Osservatore Romano. It's a serious (if lately diminished) news venue.

Anyways, my point is simple: fundamentalist Christian Science devotees might lack credibility in medical debates. But people who have merely at some point in their careers affiliated with the CSM do not.
They stopped caring about the Mac Pro at least 5 years ago. I'm occasionally amazed it is still offered for sale.

Java couldn't keep up as we grew. It was rewritten and finally finished in 2007, the main core is still pure 'C' with the rest in Lua. Using Lua was probably the best single decision we ever made in terms of flexibility and what we've been able to do with mob AI. Still going strong, drop by some time, or join the FB Page...

1) Start with a brute force solution, and then look for optimizations. A good way to do this is have it print out (or display in some form) each of its guesses. You will almost allways see it do something stupid, at which point you found an optimization.

2) Write downs as many observations about the problem as you can; if possible, write them down in mathematical notation. See what you can find by combining observations.

3) If you have some sense of what a solution might look like, write it down and see where it goes; don't wait until you think you have the entire answer.

4) When you look at other people algorithms, as soon as you see them do something you didn't, put there paper to the side, do what they did, and see where you can take it on your own.

5) If what you are doing looks related to a subject you are not fammilar with, research that subject.

6) Similarly, if you can reduce a problem (or sub-problem) to another one, but you have no idea how to solve the new one, research to see if people have already solved your new one.

7) If you every see a sequence of numbers, go here: http://oeis.org/

7b) If the only description in oeis is a link to the Project Euler problem you are solving, then this technique is probably to cheety.

8) Invent to variables/functions

9) Math notation is there to help you, make up your own if it expresses the problem more cleanly.

10) Never right a false statement on your work paper unless it is clearly indicated by words like "assume" or "not".

10b) If you see a statement on one of your papers, assume that it is true even if you forgot why.
Admittedly, "think" is perhaps an inapt word choice, but how is response to stimuli not, in some fashion, awareness?
I multitask pretty heavily (Eclipse, lots of browser tabs, XCode and such) and haven't noticed it getting hot at all.

I've only noticed it getting warm when the NVIDIA card kicks in when a game is running (not an uncomfortable level however).
Second this. Got over 300,000 users with just 1 channel, an optimized ads / landing page, and basic sharing incentives. Tried a bunch of other mediums and channels, but even being a 1 trick pony with basic split testing can work fantastically.
In terms of raw profit in the smartphone industry, Apple dominates.

Yes, but luxury brands almost never drive any particular market. A lot of the app business these days is about getting an app in front of users as part of some larger business plan and in that world it's the number of eyeballs that count. Once Apple loses that battle then their developer mindshare is going to slide.
Because a computer is nothing more than a list of specs right? It's the same quality logic behind "My number is bigger than his, so therefore my computer is better."
Luckily I signed up for Spotify soon enough after they came to the US that I have an actual Spotify account. I probably wouldn't use Spotify now if I had to use Facebook to sign in.
I believe it happens when you are already signed in, but the session is expired (or is in some way not fully signed in). It then prompts you to finish the sign in so it can give you a good experience once you're there (for example, the ability to comment, +1, or reshare the post immediately, or add the author to circles).

If you have no session with Google at all, however, no login is requested.
I think it depends, obviously if it really were 99% as good it is a no brainer, a $4000 laptop that you value say 30% more could well be worth it. If you are bringing in 100k+ a year mostly using your laptop the $4000 figure is really quite insignificant in the long run.

That's it, just American.
Maximum value of rewards points and other benefits vs. annual fees.

Centurion (Black) is pretty much the same as Platinum, with a 6x higher fee. It used to be a lot cheaper than it is now AND have more benefits, but it's been substantially devalued. Platinum does provide a lot of perks just for having one (lounge access, etc.) worth about $500+/yr, as long as you travel. It also has no international fee.

SPG gives effectively 5% return if you use it aggressively. The problem is a high international fee.
You would also lose easy access to file histories, correct? This is one reason why I'm a fan of SpiderOak -- the index remains encrypted, but file histories are still stored (efficiently).
> "you're claiming that Apple licensed their touch UI"

Obviously nobody in this thread is claiming such a thing. Perhaps they misunderstood your earlier point (or perhaps you made it poorly) and thus their counterpoints are irrelevant, but that is not the same thing.

You should be more charitable and less trollish in the way you choose to disagree with others.
All Apple has gained here is an escalation in the patent war. Google's already fired back with their new Motorola patents and this verdict is going to send everybody scrambling back to the market for more patent acquisitions.

In the meantime iOS is looking increasingly long in the tooth and nobody at Apple seems to be willing to take the kinds of chances that won them their success in this market in the first place. It's a classic innovator's dilemma, raising up a new king and then casting him down.
Your tablet used scroll bars. Why?
Television has already changed. If you look toward the UK, already there's low budget comedy shows like Mid-Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, which is a continuation of a rather famous comedy character spanning radio, multiple television series and soon to be film -- which was recently produced for peanuts with modest corporate sponsorship from Fosters, dumped online as web episodes -- and now is being picked up for broadcast television after the fact.

Arrested Development may be news to some folks here, but the age of producing shows for internet distribution has been our path for quite some time. Not only are shows being produced in this fashion for the internet now, but we're increasingly recruiting new talent via the internet. Just look at the star of Community, Donald Glover. This is a brilliant comedic actor who first got his major break by producing a set of YouTube videos that went viral with the other comedians in the Derrick comedy group, a group which was later picked up by College Humor and several of which, including Donald, have been tapped by mainstream American television now.

I could only see Arrested Development 'changing everything' if you weren't already aware that things have already changed.
Do you have a link to some information about this?
Is it a new box, or changes inside the Mac Pro box?
In French we say "cachet" for something exclusive, not "caché" which means hidden.
> you made a conclusion about the meaning of the word bias,

From a dictionary.

> I was showing you how people on your side of the patent debate use the word, since you were on the, shall we say, receiving end of it this time.

No. You were burning down straw men.

> I was, in a sense, agreeing with you, and asking you to recognize that bias does not mean lacking in credibility.

It does, in fact, hurt credibility to be biased. When it stops being an opinion accompanied by honest reporting and becomes manipulation (be it deliberate or not) is usually where we start calling it bias.

> Hope that makes it more clear!

I have no idea what you are talking about. I can only assume this is part of some larger conversation you are having with everyone at once and no one in particular.
I assumed that building and maintaining a hackintosh machine would be a pretty major pain in the ass but my friend says it was no more difficult than building a bespoke Windows machine as long as you did a tiny bit of up-front research on parts.
Effective Co-Op Design
I really think that Apple's big breakthrough was in marketing, not innovative design.

This doesn't, by itself, mean that their design patents are invalid. But hopefully it gets rid of the strawman of "if they weren't innovative why did people buy so much of their stuff?"
Several issues drive typical home prices. Among them are increases in buyer expectations and the cost of entitlement.

Before modern development regulations, the infrastructure costs of greenfield development such as roads, schools, parks, and emergency services could be passed on existing residents. There were few or no environmental regulations to deal with either.

As these costs are tied to entitlement upfront development costs rise, and thus the development of higher market segment products makes more economic sense - one feature of real-estate development is that it takes about the same amount of time money and effort to do a small budget project as a large budget one.

To see how far consumer expectations have changed imagine the 800 square foot Levittown floor plans being marketed for growing families today. http://tigger.uic.edu/~pbhales/Levittown/building.html

Of course the other piece of the puzzle is that housing in the US has been disrupted several times over the past 150 years, from balloon framing with dimensional lumber (factory production), the development of the mobile home (again, factory production), to modern large subdivision development such as the aforementioned Levittown (economies of scale using mobile production crews performing repetitive work).

The problem with robotic production is that the capital investment is high, the demand for the product cyclical, and the end product is not transportable in an assembled state (except for mobile or modular housing).
Yeah, for me, the $3K is worth it. The only thing that gives me pause about the Retina MBP is the price and capacity of storage.

For example, if you're a photographer who likes to keep your entire library on your internal drive, you'll have mixed feelings about the Retina MBP's storage. I'm only shooting 12MP RAW, and my Aperture library is already >200GB with diligent pruning. I'd hate to imagine someone using something like a D800 and its 36MP RAW files only to find out they need an external drive after a few months of using the Retina.

What else would it be? If my computer is faster, cheaper, and lets me accomplish the same things in the same amount of time, how could it be worse?

1.) We are not disagreeing. Anyone who wants to pin it to autoimmune effects is missing the genetic causes, anyone looking for simple mendelian causes is missing out on multiple gene susceptibilties or denovo mutations, etc.

2.) This is a testable hypothesis and will be known in time. I believe that we will have a good enough understanding and control over genetics such that effective therapies even for adults will be possible in the stated time frame. Also notice I used the word correct not cure, not a mere play in semantics but a subtle change that strongly alters meaning.
What actionable tips will you apply to your own product for example?
Same. I've been playing around with Light Table for about a month now, and I'm completely hooked on Clojure.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I've been agreeing with your other points, but I must disagree with this specific. Absence of evidence is definitely evidence of absence. Keep in mind that "evidence" is not the same as "proof."
Sadly, with the release of Lion, I had to retire my Hackintosh. DarkWake meant that my PC would no longer sleep and wake reliably, with random kernel panics to boot. I found the Hackintosh community to be full of wankers who would counsel people based on no real understanding of kernel internals. Perhaps it has improved since then.

Thanks for the correction.

His machine is entirely built from standard PC parts from Newegg or some similar vendor. He said he did a little bit of upfront research on components to make sure they were supported but that everything in the box is pretty standard.
That's pretty much the route Facebook took so it just might work but I too remain sceptical after mentioning G+ to a few people over coffee, beer or at the university and having to explain what I'm even talking about every single time.
The other fall election: Robot Hall of Fame opens voting to the public
I went in a skeptic, but I wonder if I could hold TA office hours through Google+. It certainly would be more useful.
Personally I would never bother with this because I'm just too damn lazy. I'm willing to suffer some installation hassles over Linux for moral reasons but if I want a Mac I'll just buy a Mac.

But maybe I'm lucky because any of the current iMacs are more than powerful enough for my needs.
Facebook doesn't have a suite of extremely popular web apps. Every student I know uses gmail.
I agree with your statement on LCD monitors, but where does one draw the line between design that can be patented, and one that cannot? While googling around, I found that philip morris has a patent on rounded corners for their cigarette boxes: http://www.google.com/patents/US5341925

There's probably only so many ways one can manufacture a box to store 10 sticks of nicotine, but they own a patent for the rounded corners box. Same may apply to handbags as well. Although you may perceive women handbags to be very different from each other, there are categories of handbags where it's harder to create extremely different designs due to constraints, for example many evening clutches are similar because they are all required to be small. Should cloning be allowed if constraints prevent designs to be significantly different from each other?

It would be an uphill battle to try and prevent all those fashion companies from filing design patents for products limited by constraints. So if one were to revamp the patent system, one would also need to be mindful of all those other companies who are not in the tech sector and may have a bigger voice.
Which Browser Offers the Most Secure Password Storage?

"The issue I have with arguments from folks such as Cory is that they presume too much in favour of openness. Many prefer to be regulated rather than have to make decisions on every little detail, that's arguably the whole Apple appeal in a nutshell vs. Linux, and why it's so productive."

I think that's a false dilemma. I agree that's the current state of things, but I don't think openness requires the burden of pervasive required configuration. I think this is more about a cultural failing among developers in the OS world. It is slowly changing.
I've normally seen it on mobile.
Is Zuckerberg to blame for Facebook's slumping stock?
I deleted them because I realised that they didn't add to the conversation - you would do well do do the same for the above.
I used to have a subscription, which I placed on hold for a while before finally cancelling.

Hulu is an attempt by NBC/Fox/Disney to dip their toes into the waters of online streaming. I appreciate the effort, but in the end, Netflix is a much better service for the price, and plenty of people would just as soon use the free options available instead.

It allowed access to older episodes of some shows (in some cases, the full series was available whereas only the last 5 episodes were available free).

But you still had to watch the advertisments, and the price was on par with Netflix (which made it substantially more expensive before Netflix's pricing switch). Nothing makes $10/month sting like being forced to watch the same advertisment over and over as a 'premium' member. Hulu's advertisements are far less varied than regular television, so I always half-felt like they were going for the subliminal-message-manipulation angle, since I would see the same ad during all three commercial breaks for the same show.

Also, they arbitrarily blocked access from certain mobile devices, which meant that I couldn't always watch it when I wanted to.

In the end, it wasn't worth the money, by a long shot.
I spent around $3500 for a maxed out 15" MPB in 2010. Matte screen, higher res, 256GB SSD, 8Gig RAM.

Just this year I downgraded to a 13" MBA after using a co-workers... $1500 later and I've never been happier. The old MBP feels like a brick. A buddies new retina MBP feel like a lighter brick, but still a brick.

I can't see myself ever going back to the larger form factor.

I recommend really thinking about what you want in a laptop and trying out a few options. Go ahead and spend a lot if it's the perfect match, but don't feel like it needs to be expensive in order to be a great machine.
Vestidos de Noiva Sem Alça
Without commenting on the validity of the argument, the point that you're missing (not your fault, the post wasn't clear) is that there will be separate ("siloed") G+ instances for these universities. The distinction will be the same as Googlers having access to both public and internal/corp G+.

One use case for this is that I can make a G+ event (e.g. a party) public, and know that only fellow students will see it.
Oh. There are a thousand ways it could be worse.
>> If my computer is faster, cheaper, and lets me accomplish the same things in the same amount of time, how could it be worse?

Different people value different things.

Myself, I care less about specs than I do about weight, display quality and build quality -- I'll pay extra for those things too.

Other people might prioritize storage speed, and spend a fortune on the biggest possible SSD, even though the cost per GB might not be worth it to most other people.

If you are happy with a faster, cheaper computer, more power to you, because you're happy, and really, that's all that matters.
I can't agree with this enough. I didn't actually tune into TV until the local 11:00 pm newscast, and he wasn't mentioned until 11:20. That's just insane to me. And, I think, bad news judgment.

The man was a living legend. I've recently seen him compared to Lindbergh, but I think that's wrong. He wasn't "the first person to use a new technology to do a given task", he was closer to a Columbus. (Let's avoid any aside into morality with the Columbus parallel, please.) He was "the first person to do the task". And I say "closer" because as we know, Columbus "found" a continent that was full of people.

Armstrong was literally the first. He literally doesn't have a comparison. And he was alive in our time.
I think myspace got pretty annoying towards the end with the shitty design and overdone widgets on every page. Facebook was a pretty clean and usable alternative. Personally I couldn't stand myspace pages right around when facebook came in.

Not evolving your design to user requirements or even to make it aesthetically pleasing is also pissing off your users in my book.
How does this matter? TV flubs everything. Traditional media is over.
http://NeedNumbers.me - a weekend project I did before school starts. It solves one simple problem of having to manually type in names and numbers after you asked for contacts on Facebook.
Could you share some? I use a MBP at work, and if I'm not "doing it right", I'd like to know how I can get the most out of my machine.
If the iPhone wasn't revolutionary, how did Apple go from selling no phones to the selling the most popular phone in just a few years?

While I find a lot of the anti-Apple commentary here at HN completely frustrating, the fact that Apple made a lot of money is not proof that they were innovative or revolutionary. Steve Jobs telling them they needed it played a really big part. Another company putting out the exact same product probably would not have enjoyed the same success.

You just have to use javascript and web technologies, but the full iOS UI is available, including things like touch tracking, gyroscope, GPS, etc.

You've obviously never developed iOS apps. You do not have access to any of the native Apple UIs through Javascript. No UIViewController, no Core Data, no iCloud, etc etc, just like every other HTML5 platform. You have some mediated access to the device but this is nothing like a real native app.

And every other platform vendor also ships free development tools.
Not working for Martinique (FWI), country code 596. Still waiting for a SMS to come. Asked twice 5 and 10 minutes ago.

Why hasn't Apple targeted HTC or Motorola with their bullshit rounded rectangle lawsuit? Could it be because the issues are more nuanced than you're giving them credit for?
Absolutely, my machine preceding this one was an 11" MBA. I still use it on-the-go frequently. It helps me to check that I have committed everything :D It was the best $1000 I've ever spent.
