There is a list of criteria. The password must conform to that list of criteria. It doesn't matter if a password only matches one criterion, because if it doesn't match the other criteria it will fail. Thus, your alternative, ' must be "a particular criterion"' with a highlighted must, is incorrect.
Woman Buys Rare Game Worth $15,000 From Goodwill Store For Only $7.99
Greatness of games is in the eyes of the beholder - the only Japanese games I truly find great were shadow of the colossus and ninja gaiden black. And they never were technical gems to begin with.

Also my experience with japanese products is that they don't "get" software, not that they are bad at it. I am sure that the developers are as competent as anywhere in the world but they deliver what they are ordered to.
The money that you paid for one of those first Macs wouldn't buy you a power supply for a DEC VAX. So it's remarkable that Apple managed to commercialize GUIs at a price for the masses, even if their version had lower specs.
I guess we mean different things by 'moving'. They certainly moved from where they were in the first picture, which shows a fairly thinly populated area. My impression is that they hadn't yet chosen their vantage point, perhaps having just arrived. But in the later pictures, they appear to be standing still and watching the runners with everyone else. When I say they don't seem to be moving, I mean they don't appear to be moving relative to the crowd around them, eg departing the area.

I'm guessing they're not significant because while they first drew attention for both carrying heavy-looking bags (a black backpack and a blue duffel), that may be a subconscious bias towards the fact that there were two explosions. On the other hand, the two explosions were separated by a city block; so unless one or both of them were spotted a similar distance away from the start point, the fact of the two big bags is probably just coincidence.

So many people were taking photos and video that by the time the investigation is done, I imagine there'll be a patchy but contiguous animation of people's movements through the area, at which point it'll be far easier to spot dichotomies in behavior between race viewers and the criminal(s) that carried out the bombing.
>it's truly amazing that they've found 3 separate photos of the same person in the same spot at the blast //

I looked at a few flickr images and identified about 6 people who were in 2 or 3 images at the location of the Marathon Place bomb¹ without too much effort. So I don't find that particularly amazing.

>If you're standing in the crowd most people will take a backpack off & put it at their feet? //

Based on this limit section of the marathon watchers that "most" appears to be patently false. I only saw one guy standing in that area with a bag between his legs but at least 20 other backpacks (or similar). This surprised me, I hold my backpack on my front in any crowd to try to avoid being robbed.

¹ - you can use the video footage to "triangulate" the location, the video line-of-sight passes through a tree from the centre of the finish line, you can see these details on Google Maps. Around the area between the South African and Norwegian flags.

Every government is corrupt, because the very arrangement of government itself leads to corruption.

In Sweden's case, it's just not your average third-world style corruption like "hand me a bag of money and let's see about that building permit" - it's more about various "constituents" trading in favours/influence/power/positions/money.

Of course, the same kind of corruption applies to the US too. For example, campaign contributions are bribes already.

I think the correct question should be: Is it worth your time learning any of the SPA (Single Page Application) MV* JavaScript framework (Backbone, Ember, Angular, Knockout, etc).

Browsers have come a long way. It's now possible to develop web applications that offer comparable user experience to say iOS/Android/Windows etc. As with those other platforms, to get the full user experience, the developer usually has to learn and use their native libraries and languages (Object-C for iOS, Java for Android, etc). For the web, the language is JavaScript and the library is HTML5 (the DOM manipulation that is).

Unlike those other platforms, plain JavaScript + DOM manipulation can get out of hand pretty quickly. It works when to create 'web application' means adding a few jQuery DOM manipulations here and there, backed by your favourite server framework. But when the amount of JavaScript you have to write grows, you need a way to structure it (design patterns, modules, etc). GWT, if I remember correctly, tried to address the issue of unmanageable JavaScript by allowing you to use Java on the server side and then it will compile and serve JavaScript to the client. This seemed like a good idea but the problem still remained: You're essential writing software in one platform to run in another. There will always be a penalty somewhere (do you remember how long it took to get the first JavaServer Faces framework with HTML5 render?).

The basic driving force of MV* JavaScript framework is to address the issue of writing clean, manageable and performing JavaScript code targeting the browser itself and not some intermediate platform. With the end goal being to provide a better user experience.

Is this worth learning? Well, do you think applications built using client-side JavaScript provide better user experience? Think Twitter, Gmail and the likes. Do you think your clients will appreciate such kind of applications?
Oh man, I loved the Clie - high-res before high-res was a thing on that platform, a nice Blackberry-style scrollwheel on the side (sorely underrated feature, that), tough as nails and marred only by the earthshatteringly mediocre Palm Desktop program it used for syncing. I played the hell out of Warfare Inc on that thing. Palm OS was a tragedy - the loss of the Graffiti patent battle just ruined the platform, and it could've really done spectacular things going into the WiFi era.

But yeah, Sony seems like a very divided company - if the myriad divisions got together to work on a single unified customer-facing infrastructure of devices and e-store and whatnot, they could re-take that spectacular brand power they had in the early '90s. But their internal politics will never allow that, sadly.
family friendly can be parsed many ways, but in general, it's some weighted combination of outdoor/parks/community programs, crime rate, public school quality, the ratio of kids to adults and seniors in the area, median house size, etc.

You might find it more interesting to check in on the Amiga community, perhaps.

AmigaOS is still being commercially developed, though it 'only' dates back to 1985: http://hyperion-entertainment.biz/

And there's new hardware for it:
http://www.a-eon.com/
http://acube-systems.biz/

The market is tiny, and mostly hobbyist focused, but there is even the occasional commercial software release, now often targetting AROS and MorphOS (AmigaOS inspired OS's) too. For example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_(programming_language...

The Amiga community is interesting because there is a distinct split between different factions, with some insisting on only supporting "classics" (the M68k machines) and sometimes reimplementations (there's a series of FPGA based projects), some only interested in the current generation PPC systems (from AEon and ACube), as well as AROS and MorphOS camps, and those only interested in emulation.

Of course a lot of people couldn't care less about the various splits and just want to get on with things, but this is a community where you will find people actively using anything from 7.16MHz A500's to high end PC's to run OS's that are widely source compatible and that either directly runs or have some level of integrated emulation capability for old M68k apps, and where a lot of the community still run and/or tinker with software that was released back in 1985 (e.g. there are people still tweaking the original roms to cut more cycles off the odd system call...).
I agree , they are really webpages.
Do you have any citations for your claim that "people driving 15MPH under the limit (because ... their speedometer is inaccurate)" is "very common?"
If someone thinks they have good evidence of the bomber, they should:

1. assemble the pictures

2. give sources for their pictures (an imgur link doesn't count)

3. show what evidence they think that makes the person a suspect

4. submit it to the FBI

5. not post it on the Internet

Posting it on the Internet doesn't help. The FBI will need to track down original photos, and being duplicated everywhere on the web, with a bunch of other people photoshopping comments on it in various ways, won't help their efforts.

The FBI only needs to see it once. This isn't voting. A bunch of people submitting something doesn't make it more likely to be true, or more likely to be listened to.

On another note, it's funny how people tend to focus on people who stand out, like the guy with the white baseball cap. He stands out in a sea of dark colors, so of course people focus on him. It's very hard to believe (although possible) that the actual bomber would wear clothing that makes him stand out in any way.
> gives you leads to investigate.

Anonymous are not investigators. As altruistic as their intentions may be here people cannot forget that. Leave the investigating to the real investigators who do this for a living. Random people on the internet are not going to see something that agents from multiple federal agencies wont see.

Your point about people from the public identifying themselves in pictures is a great one. That was what I first thought when someone posted a "suspicious" photo of a guy in a blue bathrobe. If I were that guy, and had nothing to do with the attack, I'd call the police right now and say, "hey that's me and I didnt do anything."

I read it wrong then. At any rate, fwiw I actually think Ember.js and Angular.js help with procrastination. It's far to easy to get muddled in the details of how to organize a backbone.js or vanilla jQuery application; at least for me. Going with Angular.js let me move forward faster than I would have otherwise.
Without much more technical detail, it's hard to say if this is technically sound, but I've never seen a tech project better suited to Kickstarter.

I think this is a step both in the right direction, and the wrong direction. This attempts to mitigate issues with cloud storage by giving you hardware to keep (actually a really good idea! It reduces latency and allows for file recovery) but the service is still controlled by a company/central hub. If the hub fails, the system fails. We need a system that works fully distributively (and preferably open source so anybody can add more nodes)
I really envy you naive notion on Swedish legal security.

Take a look at our modern history. Confiscation of not yet published newspapers during world war II. The German troop transports, the extradition of Baltic citizens, the IB-matter, forced sterilization. We really have a history of throwing out all legal principles whenever public authorities want to.

In recent times, Thomas Quick, the extradition of two Egyptian citizen without any due process, REVA, perhaps you remember "#gategate" where LEO got acquitted, the "lilac envelopes" our minister of justice wanted to use spread shame to suspects, treatment of acquitted persons in the da Costa case.. I could go on for quite some time with this, there are a lot of examples to choose from.

Just the fact that we have politicians appointing jury members ("nämndemän") is a hint to where Swedish legal security stands. Jury members that in the majority of cases fails to answer basic legal questions correct. The entire chain of courts "förvaltningsrätt" is a very troublesome construction to say the least ...
Some games didn't use a timing loop, they were written with timing that corresponded directly to CPU speed. Thus a turbo mode would make the games impossibly fast to play.

You can't go by the capabilities of the individual car. You have to also account for the capabilities of the other cars on the road. If a Ferrari is speeding along at 120 MPH, which might be easily within its capabilities, there will be problems when it encounters the small Hyundai that can only achieve 90 comfortably.

Plus there's the issue of driver's ability as well. Can you look in your side mirror and successfully gauge the speed of the car that's a good distance behind you to know whether you can safely change lanes? If the car is going at a known max speed, of which you are probably aware of as you are likely at that speed yourself, then you can change but if the car is going two to three times faster than you I would imagine changing lanes would be a bad idea.

Also, how would the police be able to judge the things you describe looking at your car driving by at 120 MPH while everyone else is driving in the 80s? The officer would have to constantly be pulling these people over to check their "licensed to speed" status. How would the officer be able to judge the conditions of your car as you breeze by? Sticker on the bumper? Better be a huge freaking sticker when you are flying through traffic.

Speed limits are decided upon on the safety of most cars for the general area and expectations of traffic conditions, not the capabilities of the cars or drivers on the road.
Yes, all of their ads feature people with great skin, which is a shame if you're someone with eczema or dermatitis pilaris or similar bad skin. Especially since those people buy a lot of product.

They make money selling nice versions of very simple gunk. I haven't checked, but I hope they're not doing the science-BS of "skin tightening" or "lip-plumping" that other brands do.
Given that they are used to buy things in the real world, I'd say their total value is the value of the goods exchanged, divided by the bitcoin velocity of money. Varying expectations of future value screw with the price though.

Really like the design. What I'd like to see is a device with a design like this that also has:

- options to pair up with specific other devices for the backups (family, trusted friends etc)

- a web app for posting status updates etc (implementing tent.io?)

Basically the things social networks offer now, but with you owning your own data.
Also, there's really no reason for this to be a special device. It easily be a blob on your computer's hard drive. An availability problem for laptops, but you'd best have that problem solved anyway since residential internet connections aren't exactly 100% uptime affairs.

> When a worthwhile Futures market hits, then BTC will really stabilize.

I agree that a futures market would be a stabilizing force, but other volatile commodities are still highly volatile even with futures markets.

The reason most currencies aren't volatile is that they have a central bank behind them actively manipulating their supply to make sure they are stable relative to some other asset or basket of goods. In the case of the USD, the dollar is roughly pegged to CPI. Unbacked commodities that aren't pegged by a central authority tend to be on a highly volatile random walk, with or without futures markets.

EDIT: Looks like I mistyped, maybe it looked like I was saying the opposite.
