I generally agree with you. However, in this case there were already several comments on this submission, but none on the other (original) submission. In this case, as I stated, there was no value being added by linking.

And with that said, I think I'm done with this meta-discussion. Thanks for playing…

I'd expect a lot more number to become available from Friday. There's still a chance these aren't legitimate numbers in the Geekbench results (though they look realistic)
When you impact JSTOR and the entire MIT network the way he did, it's hardly "in secret". Something like a stream of one million continuous JSTOR downloads 24/7, significantly impacting the entire MIT network, is going to go unnoticed?

His JSTOR use was heavy enough to draw an IP ban. Yet he continued. I fail to believe he was really trying to hide - he knew his actions would be noticed. Network admins would see what was going on. And even in the wiring closet, putting a bike helmet over his face? That's not exactly covert.

JSTOR would know something was up - the IP ban was probably automatic but still I would guess the folks administering their servers would have noticed a huge spike in activity from MIT.

MIT would know something was up. Their network admins are not asleep at the wheel.

Seems to me, it was no secret what he was doing. He did not try very hard to conceal it. (Or maybe you think he was supposed to hold a press conference or at least call the TV news first?) With the way he went about this, it's no wonder he got caught.

Moreover, he already knew he had an FBI file from the PACER incident. So it's not like he couldn't imagine the FBI getting involved.

Then again, I could be wrong. Maybe he really is that stupid.
The previous page is, by definition, the page you were viewing previously. Which could be almost any page, including this one.

This is one area where Matz kept too much of Perl. Thankfully, it's rare to see Ruby programmers making heavy use of these.
You completely missed the point.

There's a lot of open source code that isn't GPL. Many licenses don't require the code to be distributed, even if it's changed.

The sentence from the article makes it sound like all open source code is GPL.
The article is old, if you open the link they refer to, you will see that the Russian is there:

Constant starting and stopping would be a performance and efficiency issue. A better way would be to have local trains that ran on parallel tracks and sync'd speed with the main train and passengers and cargo would be xfered to the local train - alternately, traffic could be segregated into seperate cars by destination and then cars would be spliced back and forth between the local and main train.

It's a great question. It expresses a problem from the worldview of a coder with a particular, very common skillset. Which is something that other coders with the same problem and the same skillset will find in their searches. As long as the answers are good, it's a perfect use of the system.
Speaking of Apple website updates, I am surprised that they have never offered a responsive design for their apple.com site where you buy iPhones and iPads. Every app they make is designed differently for the phone or the iPad, but not the website.
I'd say that's all it took, a lot of automated tweeting with better guesses.
In short, Apple don't want their demo videos to be easily downloaded and viewed?
> Apple's website needs to work on all major browsers

That doesn't seem true. The second-most-prominent links on the iPhone and iPad sites are to videos that only play in Quicktime. If they wanted the site to work everywhere, they'd use a format those browsers can natively play.
That desk seriously needs a nice 27" monitor before it can be a proper "workstation".
Just an FYI, if this gains any traction, you're going to have Facebook legal after you for using the word "facebook" in the app name - it happened to the Better Facebook folks (had to change their name to "social fixer")

Because some moron could confuse the main site and this, I don't know. Lawyers ruin everything.
I'm not sure if I should be impressed by this. From a technical standpoint, it seems quite clever and unique, but it also seems like a lot of work just to avoid using a <video> tag.

"it's retarded" appears to take on the place in a paragraph where an actual argument or reason would go, but it isn't. It's just a childish phrase used to indicate dislike for something. If you don't like the "it's offensive to use a phrase indicating some form of developmental disorder as a pejorative", then please consider the argument that it accomplishes and communicates nothing except the fact that the speaker / writer lacks the ability or motivation to articulate his objections.
I don't think 2k-3k will cover the costs for the dev. Just to humor you with the breakdown:

- Friday night: Plan and agree on approach

- Saturday morning to Sunday night: hack

- 4-5hrs sleep/night + breaks and tomfoolery

Maybe getting 35 hours of actual solid work comes out to $200-$228/hr. $2k-3k would be way too low esp. after taxes unless there is a way to skirt the IRS.
When given a choice between two otherwise equivalent options, most non-sociopaths will choose the option that is less likely to offend their audience.

Well, now that I think about it, maybe, but I have no idea how to approach it and I think a year of sown-level of insight is probably worth about a week's worth of insight from someone who's way smarter than me.

That Curiosity descent video was amazing. Here's an even better side-by-side with "director's cut" captions explaining what's being done: http://youtu.be/pjeHZ9poew4

Thanks for sharing. But in answer to your question - the RGB channels are there - you can download the h264 vid and decompose (sure, you'll some quality, but that's not the real blocker). The real issue is the time - if you believe him, the Mars Curiosity guy says it took him a month to pull that off: "It took 29 days from start to finish, working full-time on it for the last week. This was the most laborious media project that I’ve ever done. But I don't regret a minute of it.
", so you'd have to convince him to do it..

But you can probably PM him on Reddit if you're serious enough ;)

I just tried on my friend's iPod and the animation doesn't play there anyway (it just stays on the "lock" image). Maybe the iPod browser is different (my Android doesn't play the animation either) but I'd be surprised if the animation worked on an iPhone but not on an iPod...

But huge props to Leah for keeping at it... I'm disappointed at the haters on this thread taking personal pot-shots, instead of recognizing that her record shows an admirable perseverance and a true passion for building better messaging technology.
that is only true for iPhone and iPod touch, you can have inline video on the iPad.
>An "app" is a specific kind of program for a smartphone.

No, "app" is short for "application". The term "killer app" has been around long before there was such a thing as a smartphone.

Stop being bothered by such trivial matters, moreso when you don't know what you're talking about.
From an efficiency point of view, what about all of these bulbs which will now be drawing power 24/7 for the wifi components, along with everything else in the house that has a standby function?

Just get LED bulbs and use the off switch.
The point I was trying to make was not that it cant be done but you end up mixing Xlib and xcb regardless. Its that xcb cant be used stand alone. In that sense its crippled.

And I build my system from scratch and granted my version of x is older Qt4 never had the xcb requirement, It was always Xlib.

Instead on XLIB+GLX its not XCB+XLIB+GLX

But XCB does nothave support for hardware acceleration it still needs Xlib.

By the way thank you for taking your time and writing those docs, being there isn't much on XCB as it is. Maybe you can talk some sense into the XCB guys to take a couple weeks of and document XCB properly.
No, e.g. cheating can be okay when the exam is unrelated to the lectures. The system doesn't forbid you from breaking the law either, like not paying your state's use taxes on stuff you buy online.

It definitely works on iPhone (I've tried on my 4S and on Simulator).

Apple's JS disables the animation for iOS 4.x and below, so maybe that's why it wasn't playing on your friend's iPod.
I barely get any sleep (too busy making things) and when I do, it's great. So get less sleep and it will all be great!
That's great, except it would be totally ineffectual against a real troll. If you're not making anything, you're likely not violating the GPL.
My theory was that it's about interruptions - it's easier to work someplace where there are barriers to interruptions. If you're doing something at the dinner table, someone walking by and casually asking you a question can break you out of flow. If you're in a shed in the backyard, casual visitors are less of a problem.
Big Business Start-up - Requires 1 or 2 more programmers

[Empty space0

[Potential empty space]

I have designs for the company and it revolves around the webcam market. It has so much space for growth and will hit it off BIG! We will communicate through skype.
The first task is to start off with a website that hosts a webcam room of 4 cameras and you can jump from room to room into these different neighborhoods seeing and speaking to different people around the world.
I will deal with the business, sponsorship, marketing end. Along with managing the Aesthetics of the companies website. You 2/3 will develop it and have the ability to alter and add any input we all agree upon.
Once I have gone through the future plans and how we will generate revenue through our best medium of contact I will professionally and legally get a contract written out and signed for the three or four of us by a licensed lawyer.
We will all receive an equal share of the business owning 25% if we recruit two more people for the start-up.

I will open a company bank account and see about an individualized account for each of us to which all profit from the company will be shared equally. The Main company bank account will be accessible by us all with restrictions on who can take money out and for what. When money is needed from the main account, 3 of the 4 of us will need to confirm it's usage.

I have a full time job here in America and will supply the funds for the company start up and hostage and all other necessary requirements made by the 4 of us. I will spend all excess time working on our company and more where required for its' best release and upkeep that will benefit us all equally.

I am in contact with a potential investor and other leads.

Best regards,

Sean Elias.
Yes. The piece missing for me in most answers I've seen is eventing. Does one pump a series of events/state changes into the CowModel and see what actions pop-out? Does the model involve interactions with other cows where the actions of one cow cause actions of others? If so, one must have an event queue to handle chain reactions. How discrete are the events? Is there a "temp is 89F" event where, for every N minutes the cow is in that temperature in direct exposure, it becomes more likely to seek shade? If so, the "it is 89F" event must be triggered multiple times. And, such a rule requires that the past states of the cow be retained. I think the if/then/else logic is only part of the solution to a simulation problem of this sort.
It's also rare to see them heavily used in Perl nowadays. Lots of recent code doesn't use them at all (e.g., with autodie, no need for $!)

Nice try, but no. Courts are run by human beings, who apply their own judgement to the case at hand and take things like that into account. Intent is definitely part of what's considered for most crimes.

The legal system is weird, political, too-insular at times, and funny-looking from the outside and the inside, but it's a system that's evolved, in the case of Common Law, in parts from pre-Roman Germanic tribal customs. The system has been dealing with smartasses like you since before your ancestors had been deloused.

Read right over that. But I suspect they can still just download another copy, as the second download would be a new offer, and they can then agree and comply with that one.

XBox Live – Worst Software Ever?
That was part of my point I have stacks of xlib and glx books/docs xcb's documentation is severely lacking. I want to write my desktop not fool around with xlib here and xcb there I am getting old and would like to see Desktop Linux as a major player in my life time. I just want something concrete xlib and glx for now gives me that. When wayland is stable enough and has hardware acceleration for nvidia's binary blobs then Ill move on to that. I dont want to put all my eggs in one basket on something that might happen.

Nvidia needs to just come out and say yes if wayland proves fruitfull we will support it.
If I was running Yahoo today, I'd want all of my employees to have a smart phone, be using it, and be thinking about where computing was headed. Phone and data costs should not be an excuse. And when I say smartphone I mean a REAL smartphone. Having employees using Blackberries isn't helping Yahoo move forward in mobile.
Article claims the reason is so that the videos will play on iPhone. If Apple considers people who already own an iPhone most likely to view the page and buy the newer one, it makes sense that they'd go through a lot of work to show them animations they couldn't through the video tag.

Preventing download and viewing doesn't seem very important to me. Anyone could just use one of many screen recording apps to get good enough copies anyway if they wanted them for some reason, and who cares if they do have them.
Nice teardown. Knew they were using a <canvas> tag, but didn't dive deep enough see how they were using Base64 and decoding the frames. Thanks for writing this up.

What is it? It's a web service that you can build conversations with context for others to respond when they are available.

Why? I have seen the need of communicate with people that are busy/disconnected. The use of e-mail isn't good enough when you want to have a conversation in context. I mean, you would say something depending of a previous answer.

Note: Sorry for the people that may not understand the site content that is in spanish language. Will support english language soon.

Workflow

==============================

User create a conversation with an initial message. Then the user introduce possible answers. Then click on the Guardar declaracion button. The user gonna create a following message depending on an possible answer of the previous message. Let's say I would say "something" to you if you responde me "yes". It's just like that.

When the user finish building the conversation he/she can send the link to other user to answer. When the other user answer the conversation in context the original user can see the answers.

Well I hope you can understand the idea by trying the application. Thanks if you are reading at this point.

If you have any question, suggestion, complain, anything, just let me know

Strange that they didn't include quantity and quality of media available in a given language, unless it's somehow covered under "Socio-literary prestige" (which is never precisely defined). This metric may be English's biggest source of influence.
The videos linked to from the iPhone and iPad pages, then they're video tags these days. If you're talking about the movie trailers or whatnot, then Apple isn't trying to sell you Quicktime, but it's damn well trying to sell you an iPhone or iPad.

There have been various attempts to make English the national language of the United States, but they have all failed, due in part to being perceived as vaguely racist or xenophobic. This is especially strange considering that virtually every other country does have an official language (or languages).

That said, you (and your potential interlocutors) will likely benefit from using the lingua franca, which is currently English, whether or not you're exhorted to do so by an American.

I think Apple's aim with these videos is for them to be a seamless, ambient way for the page to come alive (sorry if that sounds cheesy). Asking the user to install a plugin defeats the purpose here.

The keynote and Johnny Ive video are a little different because it's targeted towards people who are already Apple enthusiasts. They're much more likely to already have Safari or QuickTime installed (or at east be willing to install it).

Still, it does strike me as kind of odd that Apple is working so hard to make one video accessible while being pretty lazy with another one (they don't even bother to make it accessible to Chrome on Windows, which does have h.264 support, unless QuickTime is installed). Maybe those two parts of the site were prepared by different teams.

[EDIT]: Actually, I just tried again in Chome and IE 9 on Windows 7, and it works fine (without QuickTime installed). Maybe Apple fixed it?

I went to university (Edinburgh) with the author of dd.sh. I remember him as a crazy Italian in the classic mold. As a first-year undergraduate in the computer science department he convinced me to forkbomb the department's main 30-way computer server. What he didn't mention was that the head of department was running a bunch of stuff on there at the time. My resulting heart rate was eclipsed only by the load average on the host, which if memory serves pegged at 512. Now I knew how the sorcerer's apprentice felt.

In a demonstration of genius he then proceeded to shutdown this particular forkbomb, using - you guessed it - only dd and sh ...
