I speak some Dutch and stofzuiger and ziekenhuis are also pretty similar to the Doric and Norwegian words - Germanic languages (of the Northern and Western types at least) seem to have a great deal of similarity.

I'm interested in the grammar issues that the OP raised, but wonder how true their assertions about the unlikelihood of change might be.
"The far bigger danger is that the eBook reader is a device running on integrated circuits and battery, which will break in only a couple of years and those B&N servers will not be online forever (I would be quite surprised if they are still online in 10 years), it's only a question of when that will happen."

But you knew this when you bought the e-book. If companies were selling DRM-protected e-books but labeling them as DRM-free, that would be fraud. But (AFAIK) they're not.
There's a lot of cool stuff going on with bluetooth-le. I can see these having other uses besides just finding your stuff. You could use a bunch of these as a primitive location service inside a building.

They're still a bit expensive, but I'm hoping the price will approach $1 each in a couple years.
comment out Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf (line 101), and as you're now no longer using it, it might also be worth taking out autoindex_module from your LoadModule's (saves a small bit of memory, but there wouldn't be any noticeable performance benefits. But as you're not using it, there's no point loading it).

For SSL PCI compliance, have the following config as part of your SSL settings (which you've got commented out currently):

SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH
SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2

This should force Apache not to default to older insecure SSL protocols and disable SSL compression (HTTP compression via mod_deflate still works here) which leaves HTTPS open to attacks like BEAST.

Bare in mind I'm still testing the above code myself (funny enough, that's actually what I'm doing this very minute) as the BEAST vulnerability is still relatively new (or rather, new enough where it wasn't part of PCI compliance until the last month or so). I'll update this thread in the next few hours if that code doesn't work, but I can't see there being a problem as it follows the standards defined in Apache's manual.

Also make sure you have OpenSSL version 1.0.1 installed (required for TLS1.1 & 1.2). You can check this by running: openssl version from the command line. However if your system is built from a package manager and has been kept relatively up to day, then you shouldn't have a problem there.

>This is saying I cannot get my content back (content I PAID for) without a CC on file.

You didn't pay for a book in the abstract. You paid for a DRM-protected file, and you got it.
If we are talking about valuable books, then content can be recovered at least partially from a wet book, depending on how good the printing ink and paper were and how long that book stayed under water.

Fire is more dangerous than floods and historically we've lost more books by fire than from anything else, although I'm pretty sure there are effective methods to recover content partially from books that are only partially burned.

The durability of physical books is amazing and the only thing going for digital content is that the cost of copies is zero, which means you can easily make backups in multiple places of this world instantly and retrieve those backups with whatever device you happen to have in front of you. Unfortunately that's exactly what DRM is trying to prevent.
Techie looking for a boyfriend in bangalore
The early adopters are already "ahead" (pricing wise) on this decision for now, and most new car buyers seem to accept gradual depreciation as a fact of life. I also don't think Tesla could unveil a radical price cut like the iPhone scenario (~30%) without some serious red ink and damaging their price anchor against German luxury cars.

I'd assumed costs gradually decreasing over time - especially in the (currently) very expensive battery technology. I'd guess they'd want to pass these savings on to increase market share as quickly as possible, rather than try and squeeze some extra margin by maintaining prices.

Something similar existed in nl as well, which resulted in many windows being bricked in.
I personally know about it, that's why I rarely buy DRM-protected content in general and I only do so for content I only want to watch / read / hear once or twice. Good movies, good books, good music - these are things for which I want to keep a personal library and so I stay away from DRM.

Unfortunately from what I've seen, the public has no idea what DRM is, as the technical details are hard to understand. When buying a DRM-protected copy of something, that copy is not yours, you don't own your copy in any way, your only right is time-limited access to that copy, you know like renting with a public library subscription (it's actually even worse, since when renting something you usually have a contract that guarantees availability for a specific time period, whereas with DRM you never know for how long it will last).

And I disagree with your point on advertising - because buying something DRM-protected is really renting, customers should be informed of this.
> I imagine the unemployment among a bunch of random people who moved to a different country should be pretty high

They're not random people though. It's a selection of people who have the drive and willingness to uproot and move to another country. I'd expect unemployment to be lower.

Now if you were talking about refugees (an actual random sample of people who don't have a reason for moving), I'd agree.
This is a gross overstatement, the setting simply changes your user-agent string. Which, honestly, serves very little purpose. Most cases for user-agent sniffing that come to mind are related to something about that browser's rendering engine (i'm looking at you IE!)

Now, if chrome could render using the Trident engine from IE7, I'd be impressed.

Please don't just switch your user agent and think that your website looks fine in IE 7.... go get IETester (http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage) or something similar.
Equivalence class testing, yo.
the dev cycle for a game is 12~24 months. The first Kickstarter breakthrough was Double Fine Adventure in Feb 2012. It's on track as most are per the article. It's too early to tell but I don't expect a higher failure rate than publisher backed games.I'll concede much, most creators were over-optimistic with their timelines.

that really is not what I took from it. many (half?) of them are behind on their schedule. 3(?) good ones were released.

they were successful for the developers (and only those were selected).

for the funders there really is not much closure yet to say anything about the future.
People rarely vote for individuals. Instead they usually vote for parties.

This is certainly true in the UK. I suspect it's the case in the USA and most other democracies.
For some reason when I first submitted this it started to 404, so I've deleted that and waited till it seemed stable, and now re-submitted it.

I know the people behind this and have seen their passion. Go see it, and provide your ideas for how math can be brought to life for kids in particular, and the public in general.

So go, have a play.
How about using programming language/number library that properly handles integer promotion or signals a condition when a number gets out of bounds. Obviously it's slower than unchecked processor integers, but as this story shows, in some circumstances it's well worth it.
> I especially do this with my index fingers who will often jump from, say, Y to U directly without hitting J in between.

Oh. I don't know how common it is, but I just tried typing "yuuuuvawere" and noticed my fingers don't come back to home row unless I am done typing. They do sort of hover over it but there is no j between y and u. May be I am wrong, but touch typing doesn't teach to bring back the fingers to the home row after every letter. I learnt touch typing with some typing software which taught single letters, commonly occurring n-grams for n in (1, 3), commonly occurring words etc. So it might be my muscle memory that tells me that there is no need to go back to j if you are typing "you".

Placebo, at best.
But what does it actually mean compared to other game companies? Looking at valve and blizzard, both has had a long standing style of only releasing a game once its is "done", no matter the years that has passed since the first estimated release date.

And maybe this is wrong and the future of game development will shed those tendencies. Looking historically on game development, rushing a product out of the door to meet a release date has rarely produced a good game (anyone heard of E.T?). So the question might be, what alternative do we have between rushing a product for relase date, and waiting until it is "done", which might mean fifteen years to find out that the game is rather crappy (duke nukem forever). We can also look at development processes like Debian, and compare a static release schedule with a dynamic one.

Just validation of the input string would suffice. No need to use unsigned ints or promoted numerals.
I think it's quite common. I have seen friends type. And everyone who is commenting on this thread and touch types goes to home row only to take a break. There is no home row between two consecutive letters unless they involve letters on the home row.

>Unfortunately, kinetic energy scales as speed squared, so 20% of your orbital speed represents less than 5% of your orbital kinetic energy.

Fortunately this is counterbalanced by the Oberth effect. Getting to 20% of your orbital velocity requires expending 20% of your rocket's delta-V. And since delta-V is logarithmic in your propellant mass (rocket equation) that could easily translate to needing half as much fuel.

>Are you aware that your argument also supports eugenics, sterlization of geneticaly sick people, etc?

No. That is hyperbole in the extreme. I'm not talking about killing people once they reach 100. Take it down a notch.

The article discusses gene therapy to change animal biology to artificially extend lifespan before the complications of age present themselves, ie. in the middle of the animals life, not after the animal has aged. I'm questioning the societal benefits of this to humans.
I've been using TypeMatrix (dvorak layout) for about two months now. It really is awesome. I had severe hand pain but now I've managed to bring it down to tolerable levels and I believe that the TypeMatrix played a huge role in this improvement.

Can't touch type yet (I still look at the keyboard constantly) though :/ I'll have to invest some time into re-learning how to type I guess.
I'm really curious if the people funding these projects have a good idea what they're going to get.

I know that creative and inspired teams can do great things but ... for example Wasteland asked for $900k which is barely a budget for a SNES game. What I assume people expect though is a Fallout 3 level game. I'm guessing Fallout 3 cost $10-15 million to make.

I don't know what the original Lucas adventure games costs to make in the early 90s. Double Fine asked for $1mill? I suspect that's close to what those original games cost. Things have changed. I'd argue it would be challenging to make those same games but at today's expected quality for the same price.

Of course I hope they all do great and the games all rock and there's certainly plenty of smaller awesome games to be made. FTL for example. But, for certain games, sequels, or games that are supposed to be very inspired by older games there are expectations I think the developers will have a hard time meeting.
Right, now that I think about it, even I probably type faster than I speak.
That's quite a controversial statement. Using unsigned ints may just clutter code without providing any safety. The value of 4e9 is still invalid, even though it's positive. As you say, checking your inputs is important, and in this case values can be too large, and should be rejected.

For instance: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.x...
I can for the life of me not understand what you see as positive or "cool" about this home, the technical and architectural and artistic challenges of making it happen set aside. You sound like this is some visionary solution for a looming overpopulation issue?

I find nothing about this home actually nice; it definitely cannot be cheap judging from the designer interior and the fact that pretty much all parts are custom made. There are already very narrow shelters (I wouldn't call them "home", more like "cages") for the poor who cannot afford anything else and they do not look anything like that.

Having space is not just not-tackling-that-silly-psychological-barrier of claustrophobia but rather a luxury people will happily afford. Unless you will be partying and traveling ALL your life, you will spend a considerable amount of time in your home and especially in your bed; investing a good part of what you can afford in a nice home and a great bed is therefore a very smart decision for me. And it seems to be human nature to long for the feeling of having a lot of space, judging by what modern interior design typically does and by the fact that people will always get a place as big as they can afford instead of just splurging on a luxury 4mx5m one-room apartment.
Other companies don't pre-sell games or promises before the game is launched, though.
IE is so embedded in a lot of corporate machines that it will never simply go away. IE9 is good enough that in my experience even large users (like universities and large companies) are moving away from offering alternative browsers. Deploying only IE to thousands of machines is a lot easier than deploying Chrome or Firefox.

Consumer traffic may make the bulk of the web, but the actual financial contribution towards web development in terms of dollars-per-user is far, far greater for corporate traffic.

IE may be less relevant for consumer traffic, but it is just as relevant for corporate traffic. Given that corporate use is worth so much more financially, it won't go away. The IT department in a big company doesn't care what the cool kids are doing.

Also, a lot of the ship-dates were based on the original funding goals. If you're planning to make a game with budget X, then fans throw budget 3*X at you and demand you produce something more epic in scope, it's only natural the development time becomes more epic to match.
However this was an unsigned int, otherwise it would show up as -6 (as int32 is −(2^31) to 2^31-1), the problem here is just validating the input.
Intel's Haswell May Be Last Interchangeable Desktop CPU?
I agree totally. I used to be a monkey typist (maybe 3 fingers on each hands and never had to look at the keyboard) and my WPM was about 70 wpm, so I didn't really see the point of learning touch typing. However, when I tried to start using Vim, it was quasi-impossible to become productive in it with my typing style. I therefore started to learn touch typing. I was very slow in the beginning (maybe 30-40 wpm for the first few weeks) but I forced myself to touch type all the time although it was much slower. It has now been a few months and I'm almost back at 70 wpm and my accuracy is much better. Vim is also now my favorite and most productive editor. Tip: don't try to learn both touch typing and Vim at the same time. Learn touch typing first and when you're comfortable enough, learn Vim.
Buy Facebook fans Are Very Important for Today’s Market Progress

#include <stdio.h>

And you are assuming if there is a perfect speech to text converter, it's automatically better than typing. I don't see myself using one for most of the tasks. Speaking is too distracting.
People are downvoting you because they disagree with you, and not on the quality of your argument. Which I disagree with, but it's valid.

The way I'm taking it is that you think humans should live a natural life span, rather than an unnatural one boosted by a treatment, as the risk could be upheaval to our already tenuous social situation due to rising old age and supporting that. However, if a life span is extended using this treatment by a factor of, lets say conservatively 15%, and helps offset some of the illness related to ageing (heart disease etc) then that's partially resolved the situation.

There's two ways it'd go, it'd be cheap enough for many people to afford, or pricy enough for the top 10% to afford. Either way society as a whole would adapt to the change, if it's cheap and everyone can afford it then the mandatory retirement age would be lifted. We'd all be a lot healthier and we'd be capable of working longer, so pensions would take a lot longer to kick in, as would dependence on the state.

If the top 10% get it we'll have a lot of rich, long living folk doing what rich, long living folk do. Making more money. Spending more money. Society will probably adapt around that again.

It has the potential to make life on this planet untenable, but imagine what humanity could achieve if people had another 20% of time to work in. The discoveries scientists could make knowing that 20 years from being 35 they've still got chance to do another 20 year project, so fully invested in solving the problems that would take 20 years without worry it's worthless.

(I also disagree with everyone suggesting you'd be a fan of eugenics as well, as that seems out of line with that fact you seem to be a proponent of naturalised life spans)
Most of the other projects have been posting updates so they definitely are working on the products. Unless those devs are really in dire straits it would be kind of silly for them to abandon the games.

They already have so much time put into development and the point of a kickstarter for games is not to make a bunch of money on the kickstarter. It is to make a bunch of money on selling the game since a publisher isn't basically taking everything on the actual sales of the game. Then there is more money to be made on actually getting to own the IP because you didn't get gouged by a publisher.

If they were going to run off with the money they already should have by now. At this point it is really in their interest to finish the game.

It isn't a guarantee of course, but it seems much more likely now then it did when the games were initially funded.
What proportion of web applications are funded by large companies? Obviously in terms of actual users, there's always going to be far more consumers than corporate users, but in terms of dollars-per-user? Any large company will have a large number of internal, normally web based, tools for all sorts of things - training, asset management, expenses, travel booking - and the amount of money that the company will pay for these tools will always be higher on a per-user basis than either adverts or consumer payments would bring in. Certainly sites with almost no broad corporate use - social networks and the like - will have fairly insignificant IE use, but corporate facing web applications will see broad IE use.

ChromeFrame is great, but it is probably against the usage policies of a lot of companies. Even if it isn't, most people are fairly wary of installing something on their company machine. You'd need the IT department on side to get broad deployment.
Uh. No. The website, all source and everything will be open source, based on django and other open source python work/etc.
