I missed the hoax and found out about it only through this post, but I can't lie, I want one of those. Even the Xperia TL, the phone that James Bond uses, looks plasticky and cheap in comparison to the mockup: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-tl/

The supposedly leaked photos of the LG Nexus have it looking like an iPhone clone, albeit a very good one: http://bostinno.com/2012/10/19/lg-nexus-4-release-date-lg-ne...

To my eye, the "Nexus X" is one of the freshest designs in the phone space in recent memory.
So you're asking how much memory this resoource exhaustion attack consumes when you run it.

Each line in the WP examaple amplifies by a factor of 10. It has 9 lines. It's 10e9. That's a billion times 3, which is just enough to 32-bit virtual memory space in common operating systems.

Of course the XML implementation could be smart and short-circuit this while preserving the semantics.

That is good question. While indians are excelling in science and tech, India itself is not a leader in science and tech. India was never industrialized, So, even if innovation occurs, it never becomes part of the industrial-government machinery. That is the reason, I believe, indians who are interested in innovation, leave india.

India as a nation is very young. Even, the concept of india is very young. The only connecting fabric underlying india is its spiritually, beliefs and traditions ( Hindu/Vedic traditions ). Their lifestyle is very different from industrialized west or terror based middle east. India itself has two major kinds of people, city folks who are westernized and rural folks who are relatively non-westernized. depending on who you talk, you may get a different answer.

Anyway, this is great question. You should visit india to find it by yourself. It will be a journey worth taken. :)

I don't see the point in those "myths", as they appear to have been defined after the fact. Why not defining progress as what it is? I'd prefer a message like this:

"We're able to do X!"

What's the point of using the myth-variant of this message?

"We debunked the 'myth' that X is impossible!"

... especially if most of those "myths" actually were never stated before?
Like the printing resolution. Oh yeah, you can get rid of the ridges for a perfectly smooth model. They're called "interns". Bring your sandpaper and a dustmask! That being said, I'm glad that they're recognizing the ability to extend their product with good old fashioned hand skills, even if it isn't the greatest marketing pitch.
Endoreversible heat engine efficiency is 1-sqrt(Tc/Th) Units are absolute degrees. For 120F heat and 70F ambient:

1-sqrt(294/322) = 4.4%

So, for every 100 watts of heat, you could recover 4.4 watts of power.
To clarify, their system was Java/JSP running on Tomcat, and they rewrote it in PHP:

I found it both enjoyable and disappointing to read the many opinions shared in the comments as to why PHP is faster/better than Java (mostly), Java is faster/better than PHP, and perhaps most insidious, why both are every bit as good as each other (let's all just get along!).

You act like the local Democratic party in Atlanta is the exact same ideologically as the party in Chicago, which is definitely not true.
You have to be careful though. If someone managed an SQL injection and can read tables, but you are using bcrypt hash properly, you might think you are [somewhat] safe. (i.e. at least they can't write anything.)

But if they can read the password reset tokens from your database they can login as any of the users. (This is especially bad if changing a password doesn't invalidate "keep me logged in" cookies.)

The solution is to treat those tokens as passwords, and hash them as well.

(I know this because I had to clean up after this exact senario happened to someone using Joomla. They got an admin login from a password reset token, from there they were able to write files to disk and fully take control of the server.)

All consoles use the "cheaper razors, more expensive blades" model, but there is a big difference in exactly how.

Nintendo actually prices their gaming consoles above production cost (and probably above all-in cost) AND charges huge license fees to developers (and also has a huge first party developer userbase, unlike the other companies).

Nintendo is the company who maximizes profits, Sony and Microsoft at best maximized top-line and in reality just tried to maximize market share.

The biggest risk here is that the transaction will be voided out (at the option of the buyer) -- if your company fails, you may have to pay the money back to the investor. If the company is successful, the investor won't exercise that option.

Honestly, for $100-200k, I'd do it -- paying $200k back to investors in the (1%?) chance that this funding mechanism is invalidated AND your company fails is a risk I'd be willing to take.

OMG!!! Generating html with javascript is just soo stupid. It has the same problem as writing javascript in html ( I think html in js is even worse! ).

The way you separate out logic from presentation in html ( proponents of unobtrusive js?) you SHOULD separate out html from js. Or it starts becoming a mess. Please dont make writing html in js easy because stupid ppl will use it and start making our lives harder.

They probably won't officially support it because it is a consumer device. If you want Ubuntu on it, it will be community supported, or ask Samsung to do the work/pay them to port and support it.
No, I don't have data. I'm running off memory from when I worked at a printing and display company (8 years ago so memory could be faulty).

The point is actually related to the way your eye adjusts to ambient brightness levels. It's not about the contrast on its own but about the contrast, the number of brightness levels of the display and the brightness level with respect to the ambient conditions.

The rule of thumb was that less than 300:1 starts to cause eye strain on an 8 bits per channel (256 levels) gamma power curve (non-linear) device when the device had a limited maximum brightness output (for LCDs at the time that was 200cd/m^2) and the room was bright (for an office).

Kindles are 4 bits per channel (16 levels) linear and their contrast ratio isn't a complete lie (unlike most LCD makers contrast ratios who report only the absolute best case). But that's not the biggest reason why they're different. Kindles don't emit light, they reflect it (not including the Kindle White and Fire). This means that they maintain their brightness level with respect to the environment much better.

Of course, Kindles start to suffer at low light (for similar reasons -- they lose their apparent contrast level).
I was not there but as an older male, who doesn't drink, I am constantly reminded of how young and alcohol obsessed "entrepreneurs" seem to be. David Rusenko (Weebly) was still in college when he and his buds started. So to me it seems like college boys dominate. And the kinds of technically oriented women that would be interested in Startup School aren't as interested in hanging around with a bunch of drunk college kids where there are not that many women.

Id be curious if the gap was smaller watching the webcasts?
Sounds interesting.

What it would take for me to consider .NET/C# more often, is easier interop with C. I really like the way Golang does it, I know P/Invoke isn't terribly hard, but it's still messy and you have to muck around with attributes and annotations. In Golang I did some interop by simply pasting lines and names of header files around. That's a lot more convenient than having to decide how to layout a struct, at least that was my impression when I looked into it.
Mono documentation is very sparse as well, they basically tell you to just look for the msdn docs, which splits your efforts up and makes you uneasy whether you'll run into Mono specific things. (which there are)
> They need to start thinking like entrepreneurs.

That's the core problem they have; most of the organizations don't have any.

I tend to think that entrepreneurs are builders of machines made out of people. You create roles and cogs to turn A into B, B into C, then C is sold by D. An entire system with it's own level of fault tolerance built in. These types of organizations are not meant to innovate.

(There are organizations that do innovate, but they are the exception and not the rule)
> It is much easier to get UDP around firewalls and it can't be blocked easily in the same way most VPN protocols or SSH can. I have yet to find a network where I can't get my terminal UDP packets through.

Err, not in my world. Many hotels block udp. Amtrak's on train internet does too (they block a lot of tcp ports as well, and proxy http to stop videos).

I haven't tried recently, but most guest networks (at conferences, companies I visited, etc) did not let UDP through.

I appreciate that this will give copyright infringers the ability to know whether their attempts at masking their identities are proving sufficient without a lot of risk to them.
It's also totally meaningless to use the population statistics for "all new small businesses" and try to extrapolate to "scalable tech startups in silicon valley".

I'd have probably 50-80% odds of building a successful consulting business or other small technology business which scales directly on labor, generates ~$100k/yr in profit per employee (over salary), up to a few employees, etc.

I'd have lower odds of building a hugely successful consumer startup like Facebook. I'd hope it's a touch higher than for a random farmer in rural China, but still not that great.

I think I have better odds than many for building something in between -- a business focused infrastructure/security startup, maybe not a 1b user $100b business like Facebook, but also not a consultancy. Plenty of $100mm/yr revenue opportunities in the b2b space.

Even if the expected return for each type of business were the same over all people, I probably have a comparative advantage in b2b, and other people may have a comparative advantage in consultancy or in huge consumer startups.

While that's true, it tries 3 times (default) before it gives up - so, setting to 240 would require 12 minutes of no connection before disconnecting.

In any environment that I've been working in recently, if I lose connection for more than 5 minutes, I've lost it for far longer - I might as well break and reconnect anyway.
'Pirate content' is such an oxymoron. First you created a network with our support so that you can distribute content to us. Then you used that clout to force artists to fall on their knees, 'help' them get their content out.

Now you have a license for such content. So you're forcing us to behave to your definition of 'proper'. Started teaching people some manners, now? The very same people who make you whatever you're.

That's not going to work sir, I am afraid.

You don't own the network of us. You can't make it behave according to your whims and fancies. The artists can connect with us directly. They love to. Stop bothering us.

Even if it's a nexus device it's pretty different from what we were used to with stock android : it's a blend of both the phone and tablet UI. Some apps are using the tablet UI, while others use the phone UI, and the launcher itself is based on the phone UI, rather than the tablet UI. What runs on the Nexus 7 is a form of Android that has never been seen before, and there isn't any other Android tablet that behaves in such a way, even those from Asus that are as close to stock android as an OEM can be.

Even with TouchWiz, the Tab 7.0 feels more like what we were used to than the N7.

I'm just stating facts though because I actually like the changes made for the N7 better, I think it fits a 7" screen more than the old tablet UI and I hope those changes will be copied by the others.
are you joking, right? You are actually comparing murder to sharing content online?
Windows 8 is being released soon. Got it.
That's nice in theory, and would have worked in 1995, perhaps even as late as 2003. But nowadays, almost every toolkit on almost every platform does rendering to an off-screen bitmap, and then copies (or "composes") that bitmap onto the screen - so even if only one pixel is changed, that's often lost in the pipeline.

However, something like VNC's and RDP's "tile" coding (that is, remembering for every non-overlapping n by n rectangle whether its content has changed since last update) would still work.
“But even if Microsoft started to deemphasize .NET, I believe .NET would endure because the community will continue to fill in the gaps so that the ecosystem abides.”

Is .NET really that great a platform that these OSS devs will continue to support and improve it after it's been abandoned by Microsoft?

Not saying that's going to happen—but as a .NET dev myself, I'm curious. If it did go that way, I think my only motivation to continue using .NET would be that I don't want to rewrite years worth of code.

Obvious to whom? It's an ideological division whether money changes anything. The progressive left says yes, the classical liberal thinks no.

An analogy is publishing for profit. Is there any discussion of "regulating" books and newspapers, using the profit "issue" as a wedge to insert censorship? The free press has been indisputably "pure speech" for centuries, yet money was always involved (before the internet). MN argues control over educational courses to "protect consumers" from "wasting money"; by identical reasoning, they could protect readers from wasting money on the wrong books.

Yes gave it thought: "Some of the artists did not want to connect to you" then why make a commercial flick called Avengers at all? Surely, those artists did mean to connect with us. For a price, not free you meant I think.

Agreed, artists should make money. They should make money, and it CAN be done by embracing technology, by making it better at delivery. That's a different approach in life.

I don't think the ideas to (referring CNN's article) "snoop who is downloading and teach them some manners" is going to work at all.
Xamarin appear to be pushing big time the cross platform abilities of C# now. It is possible to have your business logic shared between Windows desktop, WinRT, iOS, Android, web apps etc, with a thin native UI layer on top.
I've always been curious - has anyone ever been prosecuted for downloading content? My understanding is that it's the unauthorized publishing (for example, providing a bit torrent seed) that is illegal.

For example - were any users ever pursued for purchasing discount (and, I'm guessing, not 100% legal) tracks off of mp3.com?

I agree completely. I've reached a point where the only music I buy is from Bandcamp, where I can choose how much to pay and the money I do pay goes directly to the artist.

Maybe someday this will become a more mainstream phenomenon and it will spread to other media. I can only hope.

This is awesome news. I would love to be able to download content legally. So far my experience is "fuck you, you're to small for us to care".

EDIT: Also: "by the way, this show can be bought for $2 here and there" will be both awesome advertisement and might really work. I somehow doubt this is the goal though
