Part of the appeal to me of this hardware is that it is so simple that even without much electronics experience you can get away with a lot more trial and error while learning.

I did all kinds of crazy things with my C64 and got away with it without breaking stuff, like powering it off batteries (the C64 takes multiple different voltages in, but you can get away with just one - don't remember if it was 5v or 9v - just that some things like the user port and realtime clock won't work) and attaching leds and relays to the user port without a clue what I was doing, replacing the IO chips (CIA) with a different version from my 1541 disk drive when one of the ones in the C64 broke (standard troubleshooting: If the CIA chips were hot right after turning the machine on, they had short-circuited - they were the source of breakage on C64's and Amiga's...), and at a later point with one from my Amiga (they're all pin compatible, but some functionality is different, e.g. the Amiga version has a 32 bit timer instead of the realtime clock nobody used...), or replacing the 6510 in my C64 with a 6502 from a 1541 just to see what would happen (the 6510 has 8 general purpose IO lines, mapped to the tape drive IO and I think bank switching - I believe the machine will still start but...)

On my Amiga I at one point made a pause switch by soldering stuff straight onto a pin on the CPU...
> they make statements like this in order to fosterlea discussions

Not publicly they don't. It's a press release for the media, and it's a statement of fact - the judge is free to sentence up to 35 years regardless. You can hardly expect this press release to contain the private details of an ongoing attempt to agree to a plea bargain.
(1) this is not the first brilliant young hacker that PG has lost to suicide and knew closely

(2) this must have hit PG like a freight train, I barely knew Aaron and I'm still reeling from it

(3) if and when PG speaks is up to him, he's certainly not under any obligation
Even outside of legalese, words have meaning.

Saying in a press release that Mr. Swartz "faces up to 35 years in prison" is not the same as actively seeking the maximum penalty. It's likely that the original press release was meant to add credibility to the prosecution, in the eyes of the general public -- to highlight that, in view of the law, what the defendant was charged with was no small matter.

I really don't see how those two statements are contradictory (much less a "lie")

- the defendant is charged with crimes that carry a maximum sentence of 35 years

- the prosecution offers a deal of 4-6 months

This whole affair is an immense tragedy but comments such as this one from Linus add an element of farce that it really doesn't need.
Install anything easily? Never mind. If you install various OSes on your mobile device, you are not using it, you are playing with it.

Users don't mind the OS, users don't pay for operating system, users pay for tools, pay for resolutions. They need highly integrated user experience to complete their tasks, so hardware is very important to software.

Who needs a market with free and easy OS installing? Who needs to switch his/her phone's OS? Geeks, or who wants to act like a geek.

Perhaps it is, I don't have a lot to compare it to other than higher level dynamic languages like python. Those I can forgive somehow, probably because I don't usually feel like I'm doing anything serious with them, In the mid level (C++, Java) I find not minutely managing every resource quite alien.

I'm currently working in C++ with/for someone deeply in love with STL, boost, RAII and overly gratuitous typecasts and I'll admit I'm finding it a tough transition. I guess I'm deeply in love with the 'everything is just a patch of memory' paradigm I've become used to.
And when you have a situation like that where neither is "technically false," it's called "talking out of both sides of your mouth." However, besides the point, is "misleading the public and the defendant" a professional standard for federal prosecutors?

In addition to repealing the CFAA, I'd like to see some hard character standards imposed for government prosecutors, some legal requirements and tests imposed on Bar Associations for the benefit of the public against and for whom they serve. We can call it "Carmen's Law."
Right, my mistake. Windows replaced Meego not Tizen.

Samsung does not care what OS it is, If users want, they product; if not, they drop it.
In my view, just because 'usually' they don't seek maximum penalty it doesn't mean he doesn't get it, as suggested itself by her office the final call is not hers.

I'm glad more and more people are coming out on this issue.

I was under the impression that QNP (the class of problems solvable by a quantum non-deterministic Turing machine in P-time) is a (non strict) subset of NP. Things might have changed since I last checked though.
Frankly, I am not sure how many people actually have a good use for their Pi. I've got one, and I am struggling to find a use. I already have a NAS, so stuff like home automation and whatever I would first try to run via the NAS to limit the amount of computers that suck power.

In fact there is already a number of computers in my household that I could hack instead of the Pi. The router, the Wii, the TV, tablets, smartphones, older phones... - they all have small Linux computers embedded and often there are homebrew projects going on to make them hackable.

Right now there is also a plethora of new devices coming out that are also very cheap. For example, I have bookmarked the TP-Link TL-MR3020 Portable 3G/3.75G Wireless-LAN Router (http://tinyurl.com/akpbwb6 ) which somebody blogged about - not sure what kind of CPU it has, but it is 30€ (about the same as the Pi), comes with a box, power cable, WiFi and 3G. Presumably very cheap tablets (include a screen) are coming out of China, too.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Pi is super cute and it inspires me and makes me want to do something with it. What I mean to say is that I suspect it has become a hit just like other hits: by luck and random chance.

I completely agree. The pictures these things produce aren't recognisable as more than a vague outline. I think sometimes people forget that they aren't actually that unique. We're all naked under our clothes. Most people aren't special enough that anyone cares about seeing a pixelated naked image of them.

The guy in the TSA booth sees thousands of naked people a day. He's not laughing at you, he's just trying to get through his day. It's similar to how going to the doctor with something embarrassing seems like a huge deal for most people, but to the doctor you're just the nth person that week pulling down their trousers.
I think Ortiz is painfully aware that any words she says will be parsed extremely carefully and that if she so much as leaves a tiny surface with grip on it that surface will be eventually found and used to hit her as hard as the situation allows. Any admission, any implicit acceptance of responsibility, even a moral one could come back to haunt her in a possible civil suit. She's already fighting that battle today, even though the first shot may never be fired. To do otherwise would be morally honorable but from a legal point extremely bad strategy.

This is the world we have all crafted and Ortiz is still in gameplay mode. If she could accept her own responsibility in this she'd likely never have made it to the position she is in, weaseling through cracks to avoid culpability is second nature in politics.
Removing / blaming one person without reforming the system is called a "purge" as in Stalinist Purge

Please fix the system not the blame

Suggestion: are plea bargains public record?
If so can we parse and publicise them? Would it be interesting to know the ratio of years charged vs years pleaded - especially by race and offence and state?

Edit: no not trying to compare this in degree with marching thousands to death in gulags - just we should focus on fixing a justice system that basically tries to avoid the courts because of those awkward and time consuming human rights. I mean imagine if we had to deal with terrorists instead of copyright violators - we might skip plea bargaining and do something silly in Cuba. Luckily the rights of the individual are paramount in the worlds greatest democracy - otherwise we could all be in trouble
You say that but I was playing with a (older) Nexus running vanilla ICS "as it was meant to be" the other day and moaning about something (I was attempting to add something to the home screen I think). A couple of the Android users in the office came over to see what I was moaning about.

After 60 seconds of looking at it they both admitted that the thing I was moaning about was horrible but that it wasn't something they had to deal with on their Galaxy S3s. When they showed me the S3 it's mechanism was definitely more intuitive (at least to the three of us).

While I'm not defending the skinning efforts of OEMs generally, I don't think the historical position of "it's all awful" is necessarily true any more. Sure there are bad things in there but there were plenty of bad things in early versions of Android. Just as Google learned there are signs that the OEMs are learning too.
Story-telling is story-telling, you know you're reading fiction. This kind of thing is lying, and lies are bad, because they poison the 'great web of causality' and can do lots of damage in completely unpredicatble ways.
I expect that any criminal defendant, including Aaron, would read her initial statement as "they're going to put me in prison for 35 years". Even as plea negotiations went forward, the implication was "plead this out or you will get 35 years".

She made statements that only a lawyer could love - rife with plausible deniability for any responsibility they have in this mess. However, I think any reasonable person would agree with Linus's interpretation of the two statements.

Sceptical about running everything on top of HTML5. Even a specially tailored JVM has proven challenging to optimise, rendering 512MiB mobile devices into laggy paging machines.

Apple got something right: compiling to the metal is not obsolete and it won't be in the foreseeable future. Batteries are not going to last "too long to matter" and devices are not going to be exceedingly quick for the task, not any time soon if ever.

It would have been a lot more effective to provide hardware support to executable code sandboxing than running a sandbox on top of virtualised hardware. Being Google almost exclusively software people at the time the Android project was devised, I think they missed big time in the performance front. But they still made up for it in open fronts and they're leading the market.
It's noob babies all the way down to the turtles. Use a debug function!
> However, besides the point, is "misleading the public and the defendant" a professional standard for federal prosecutors?

I think this strategy is par for the course because it generates a situation the prosecutors control, similar to the anchoring strategy used during business negotiations. You've just undermined the position of the defendant at no cost to yourself. As long as prosecutors careers do not depend on justice but on cases won this will likely continue or even get worse.

That assumes you ever get caught. Though I know of at least one public case where someone tried this and got busted, ruining his reputation, but the problem was he was doing all the content himself and doing it very badly. Presumably this place will write the content for you so you don't accidentally project yourself onto your fake girlfriend.
What makes you think they had a plea bargain agreement to announce at that early stage? Issuing a public statement before an agreement is reached doesn't help anyone.
You are driven to win, and you know you can get some advantage if you cut some corners. Will you do it ? My hypothesis is that most driven people will do it. If there was some performance enforcing drugs for entrepreneurs how many of you will take it ?
Thanks, I've not had any response from PayPal yet, but checking the sandbox accounts it actually billed this morning (18-Jan-2013) when it had the first bill date of 15-Jan-2013 - I think as long as I know it will bill (albeit a few days after the actual bill date) it'll be fine, thanks!

Why Every Business Needs to Plan
While I don't know exactly what the poster you were responding to meant, it's possible that rather than meaning:

"I think it's possible someone carrying may choose to intentionally shoot a child at any moment."

he meant:

"I think that (a) accidents happen in general and (b) should a specific crisis situation emerge and someone carrying uses their gun to respond, they are likely enough to shoot an innocent bystander accidentally vs successfully using it to stop an assailant."

As someone who has spent a few afternoons at the range and even in the hills shooting junk, I certainly don't think someone is a threat just because they've got a gun. But I'm less sanguine when I think about the increased accident/incident rate, and I'm not sure how well most people would do with a gun in a confrontation vs recreational situation.

You do know that we have a lot of cobbled streets here in Edinburgh? ;-)

On a serious note - I think the ongoing billion pound Great Tram Fiasco resulted in a lot of streets being left half-repaired for a long time as they were once part of the ever-shrinking tram route. Either that or the council is saving money on road repairs to help pay for it.

Or it might be part of the ongoing attempt to discourage driving in the city - which I don't mind as I pretty much walk everywhere!
How is it going in fantasy land? Where you make assumptions on top of assumptions then roll with it as your own version of reality?
Makes perfect sense! Everything in Samsung is riding on Google's good graces and a company making tens of billions a year needs to have plan B, C and D.
When exactly was honor or integrity the norm? There have always been heroes, of course, but the reason there are heroes, and the reason we celebrate them, is because they're rare.

Besides, social interactions need some amount of deception; makeup is deception (and fake breasts, and hair dye, etc.)

Why pretending to have a girlfriend when you don't should be considered worse than makeup?
I tracked down Carmen Ortiz's personal information online. I'm sure she would love to hear from Us, The People who she represents, directly.

Name: Carmen Milagros Ortiz
DOB: 01/05/1956
Address: 20 Herrick Dr, Milton, MA

This is how I found her info:

1. This article mentions that she's from Milton, MA:
http://www.patriotledger.com/news/x655689172/Q-A-New-US-Atto...

2. Carmen Ortiz is married to Thomas Dolan according to Wikipedia and many news articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Dolan

3. If you search for her husband's name (Thomas Dolan) in Milton, MA on 411.com, you get the address 20 Herrick Dr:
http://www.411.com/name/Thomas-J-Dolan/Milton-MA/2qgvqgn

4. Looking up 20 Herrick Dr, it looks like a nice house with a pool in a fancy neighborhood. Thomas Dolan is an IBM executive.

5. If you Google for: carmen ortiz "20 Herrick Dr"
then you'll see a snapshot of a website on indybay.org, which has since been taken down for violating their terms of use. But in the snapshot provided by Google you can see the text "Carmen Ortiz contact. Name: Carmen Milagros Ortiz DOB: 01/05/1956. Address: 20 Herrick Dr Milton, MA", and Google shows this snapshot as dated Jan 17th, shortly after the Aaron Swartz controversy erupted.

6. If you then look up "20 Herrick Dr" on Yellowpages.com: http://anywhoyp.yellowpages.com/whitepages/address?from=AnyW...
you will get a result that says:

Carmen M Ortiz, 20 Herrick Dr, Milton, MA 02186
617-698-1615

Bingo. That's her phone number. But it has been disconnected. Let's find her new number, or her cell phone number. Post it here if you can find it.

Reading their words "fairly" is to read them as they appear on the page. If you want to give them the benefit of their vaguery, then we can equally reasonably interpret their words as if they describe the greatest risk at hand.

After all, you want one side of the vagueness fence to say "hey, technically they weren't saying anything," while the other side of that same fence is "wow, look at the sum-total of their words and the threat they describe." Both interpretations are valid, you're just favoring the legalistic over the layman's.
They just did not know exactly how to describe that correctly.
I have to say they do not see very clearly what they are doing and where they are going. They want follow Android's route, catch up then surpass?
I don't understand why people don't get the LAW should have been on trial, not Aaron's actions.

Aaron was an activist. He purpose broke what he considered unfair laws and tried to set free information he thought should be free (or was technically free in the first place).

I think he committed suicide because he thought he was going to be Bradley Manning-inged. I wish he would have waited a little longer and had a little more hope but it's easy to be cool and logical from a comfy chair, meanwhile his mind was facing darkness.

Can you consistantly post what a real gf would post and consistantly post on both accounts without ever messing up? Lying on this level is hard to do. There was a very public case in the last year or two where someone did that and got busted doing it because he was projecting too much through her posts and made a few mistakes with stolen photos and so on. This site would make that vastly easier since you wouldn't need to worry about any of that.
my job involves copy & pasting URLs into mails, IMs, documents, .. all the time, that's why my google chrome omnibar triggered default search URL is i.e.:

how to: Google Chrome Settings -> Section "Search" Button "Manage Search Engines" -> Overlay "Other Search Engines" -> Scroll Down -> Add new search engine with the URL https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&pws=0&hl=en -> "Make default"

sadly custom search engines aren't synced in chrome, so every time you set up a new browser, you need to add your custom search setting again...

Lawyer-people are (usually) human beings. Despite all the appeals to "professionalism" between prosecution and defense, some of them just have a better relationship, trading favours and whatnot.

Most honest defense lawyers will really have the best interest of their client at heart, and just dismiss themselves if they feel they can't work with a certain prosecutor; they might even recommend their own replacement. After all, it's in their own best interest not to get what they feel is a sub-par result on their CV.

The fact that Swartz went through three lawyers, coupled with what the last one of them said, might as well indicate that all of them felt the prosecution was being unreasonable, and were hoping that a different person might have obtained better results.
Right now there's an opening to deal with the fact that it has become par for the course, with the problem of careerism and point-scoring with people's freedom.
This is not selling women, it's selling relationships. Fake relationships.

> Both interpretations are valid, you're just favoring the legalistic over the layman's.

100% agreed, unfortunately this will likely be decided in the legal arena, not in a public forum. The damage done to Ortiz' career is to some extent determined in the public eye and in that sense maybe Linus' statements help. At least he spoke out, he might have weighed his words better by pointing out that Ortiz has possibly technically spoken the truth but on a moral level is completely bankrupt.
