Is it possible to perform constant MAC address cycling on an Android phone?

This is a business doing this and it may not last long due to privacy laws, but I wouldn't be surprised if exceptions were make for the UK government to use these to track its citizens.
Have you contacted themeforest yet, what do they say?

Looking at them side by side they look very similar but not the same. Unless they've actually ripped off your HTML or CSS I can't imagine you're going to get very far. I could be totally wrong though.
I drink 2-4 cups of espresso per day (that's 4-8 shots) and would periodically switch from coffee to tea with no major ill-effects, and similarly would just not drink coffee some days, again with no major ill-effects.
Could he actually have "stolen" it? Don't you both continue to have use of the theme? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that he shared it?

My advice is to let it spread as far as it can go, and make your money selling t-shirts or support contracts.
But you did, eventually, figure it out on your own and make it work. That's the whole point - 95% of people are pathologically unable to do that, when it comes to technology.
Oh please. You even use OSX wallpapers and a Macbook look-a-like laptop in your intro video.
What's so horrible about it? It looks like most media players. The playlist could use some love, but if you're only playing a single (long) video at a time it doesn't matter to much.
I bet their automated system is re-inserting GA code every time it updates their stub. It probably copies the entire previous stub, GA code and all, then publishes that plus updates and fresh GA code.

From the article:

Stub stories work like this: You write the first installment like any other story. But when more news breaks, you go back to the article, insert an update at the top, and change the headline and subheadline to reflect the update. Our system updates the story "slug" when the headline changes--check the URL of this story, and you'll see words from the headline in the URL: /this-is-what-happens-when-publishers-invest-in-long-stories. But the number preceding the slug--on this article, it's 3009577--is a unique node ID which never changes. So essentially, every time we update an article, we get a fresh URL with a fresh headline, but pointing back to the same (newly updated) article.

We can check this by checking older stubs.

Edit: on checking the page source, I only see GA in there 2x - once to call a GA API from google-analytics.com, and once more to (I think) load ga.js from google-analytics.com. How many times do you see that page calling GA?

> NAPFA defines a "Fee-Only" financial advisor as one who is compensated solely by the client, with neither the advisor nor any related party receiving compensation that is contingent on the purchase or sale of a financial product. This definition is in direct contrast to most advisors, who earn commissions, discounts, and other incentives when their clients purchase financial products. Also, unlike other financial planners, NAPFA members are required to clearly disclose the fee in advance.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Persona...

What you're saying is true of most financial planners, but not fee-only planners. That's the whole point of being fee-only.

Also I will use the Internet as long as I can starting out, but things aren't always that simple. We hired an advisor this year because we received two complex inheritances (one foreign) and started drawing down college savings, all at once. My dad is a CPA and an ardent DIYer, but even he knew he was in over his head and needed to hire a professional.
Uh...what?

The UI is plain, but all of the controls I regularly need are there. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that every hotkey is rebindable. If you don't like "change subtitles" to be V, you can change it to be P or even Alt-V. (Why can't we rebind Windows Copy to be Alt-W instead of Ctrl-C?)

And last I checked, the UI can be skinned too, but I grew up with plain interfaces.
Is Google really his competition?
I don't think it looks much the same, and the code doesn't look similar either… I was going to compare some of the CSS class names, but can't even find components that are the same. The demos have different structure, and the components are different in style.

The only real similarities I could spot are the use of "Statistics and more" at the top, and a similar background.

Other than that you are both just using similar things that all admin panels themes have.

You use d3, he uses flot.

You use backbone, he doesn't.

In fact, not sure there is much in common at all.

Do you have any specific examples?
Yeah the UI is in its infancy, we're working on refining it.
The tech stack is meteor (node.js framework) with mongo. It made sense for this due to its real-time, evented nature.
Yes, but no one has mentioned it and the differences in my tests were far less drastic than the comparison would suggest.
Even assuming the analytics are correct, what is the value in driving down bounce rate? Lower bounce rate doesn't inherently mean more revenue.

I can, of course, use my imagination. But I am more interested in reading why a lower bounce rate is the future for media revenue. The quote near the end from Vox CEO is the best part of the article, but even it doesn't make the bounce = revenue connection explicit.

I will also add that, if those analytics are correct, that is a crazy-low bounce rate. A 50-60% bounce rate seems super strong to me. Dipping well below 50% seems unlikely for any site with significant traffic coming from disparate sources.
The UK government has a requirement that all new homes will be carbon neutral by 2016, so I imagine there will be some money appearing for research in this area.

There are a couple of caveats:

1) You can build homes which have worse energy efficiency than the requirements if you offset it somehow, e.g. by improving existing homes.

2) The definition of 'carbon-neutral' has been diluted for these regulations. For instance, it doesn't include appliances that you plug in.

So I guess he could have used a nix box then and just used curl, which comes preinstalled? I am not saying the government has no case here, but using wget is way too fuzzy to weak to be one of the central charges.
No offense, but I think the other one is way better. The fonts, the search bar, and the spacing of everything is much more well thought out. I think the "stolen" one is actually more clean and less busy than yours.

There are similarities, but I don't think he/she stole your design.

I was hoping that the link would say that they can't read PGP encrypted messages or something along those lines. Alas, we can't be too sure about that either.
The playlist actually has a lot of options which are randomly buried in the settings. You can change settings so double-clicking a video file just adds it to the end of the playlist. Or you can make every new video open in its own new player. Like I said, feature creep is one of VLC's biggest problems.

I don't know if that's quite right... There was a huge rails vulnerability a little while ago (something to do with YAML executing arbitrary code) -- and I'm not sure I have seen anything thus with .NET (not to say it's not there).

If you decide to go with certain versions of .NET, entire attack vectors will be closed, but ONLY because there are entire sets of features missing that you might get with Rails.
In the US the private sector spends several times what the government spends on R&D and that gap has been growing continuously since the 1950s when the US government did spend more than the private sector. Now government funded R&D is a small piece of the pie. Academic R&D has been shrinking in many areas. The biggest growth area in the US is non-profit R&D foundations that focus on areas that all three of the other sources tend to ignore.

Where R&D money is focused is a matter of goals and incentives. Private companies invest in R&D that can add long-term value to their core business and are unlikely to invest in R&D that in an area where no business currently exists (perhaps due to a lack of foundational R&D). Governments invest in R&D to achieve political objectives. In some cases this means investing in foundational R&D that private R&D can build upon. In many cases though, government R&D follows fashion because it has little incentive to return value. It will over-invest in areas with low ROI but great PR value while studiously ignoring high ROI R&D that does not seem as sexy. The growth of R&D by non-profit foundations has been in part to address those areas of R&D that businesses have no incentive to invest in and which are also politically unfashionable such that the government will never invest in them.

Academic R&D has been faltering for some time partly because its role is being better served and better funded by the growing investment in private R&D labs by companies. Consequently, there has been a selection effect where many of the most productive pure researchers have been absorbed by companies that can offer compelling research environments and high pay but it is reducing the average quality of what remains in academia. Importantly, the R&D that is done in private labs is often treated as trade secrets and rarely published, which in many domains has created a growing gap where the work being done in private labs is years ahead of what is being done in academia. I see this all the time for computer science.

The R&D ecosystem in the US is quite complex. Right now, there is a slow, large-scale shift toward private R&D. Ironically, this is enabled in part by how inexpensive and widely available many kinds of high technology have become.
California's unemployment rate is 8.6%, 1 full point higher than the national rate, in spite of the booming tech sector. A lot of people in California are doing terribly. For example, Imperial county's unemployment rate is 23%. Around half the counties are still over 10%.
...who would be able to breathe underwater for 30 minutes at a time without coming above for air.

This seems like a loose interpretation of "breathe". But leads to a question I had -- assuming the injection described in the article works properly, what would the result of inhaling water be? I can't imagine it's very comfortable, but assuming the person's oxygen is handled by this injection, would the body adjust?
Yes, but redundancy also means that resources are never unavailable due overload etc. As hacker news users know, sites with most interesting new content are often down. With efficient caching, that simply won't happen. Btw. BitTorrent could utilize caching also much more efficiently.

I know RS allows TurtleHopping, which is extremely inefficient method of transferring data, compared to GNUnets solution. With GNUnet you can transfer data directly with the source anonymously, while also at the very same time creating new sources for that data.
not sure what you can do. perhaps there's a mechanism to contact theme forest. but, how do we (or anyone) know which is original?

it's very similar, but it's not identical; icons and colors are different, there are additional widgets in admetro...etc

> Any advice?

Under what license was the original published? If it was an open-source license, and if the copy includes your copyright notice, then there's no wrongdoing and nothing you can do.

If it was an open-source license and your copyright notice is not present, and if there is any line-by-line copying from your original to the copy, you should be able to prove that the copier simply copied and pasted your code. This kind of copying can be proven using textual matching and the mathematical improbability of an inadvertent exact copy.

If the work was published under anything other than an open-source license, it shouldn't have been published in any way that could be copied (i.e. in source-code form). In this case, any substantial copying is a violation, but you would have a very hard time pursuing a legal remedy.

> I am not sure about html-part, but in terms of design it's copy.

If we're talking about design, not code copying, things become more difficult. Ask yourself how obvious to a practitioner of the art the layout and functions are. To pursue a legal remedy, you would have to show something unique about your design that sets it apart, and you would have to show that someone copied your specific work as opposed to copying the general design principles of similar programs.
The advantage here seems pretty obvious: updating static content through Dropbox is pretty much the ideal (especially for cases where multiple people are involved: shared Dropbox folders are a godsend.)

My question is that of speed, though. Is this going to be noticeably slower than, say, using Frozen-Flask and regenerating the site whenever you detect any changes in Dropbox?

First I was under the impression that I will see a clone but to be frank it doesn't look like an almost copy.

The only similarity I see in both the designs is the layout. Other than that, there are so many differences even in the subtleties.

You might want to report it to them but I am not sure if any action will be taken because they can't be distinguished very clearly.
True enough. And that's a tough question too. I waited from 4th grade to calculus to get inspired again. And then I think it was the material more than the teaching method.

>Usability. One time pads have been around forever, are provably secure, but a pain in the ass.

Are all the codecs that VLC ships with freely redistributable? I was under the impression that many required licensing agreements even to distribute for free which impedes open source projects without a corporate backing from doing so.

I guess we can agree to disagree, but IMHO refusing the Nobel Peace Prize would have made an inconvenient award into a MUCH BIGGER inconvenient international scandal. It would have been politically disastrous on a number of levels. It certainly would not have made the issue go away.
If taxes are theft, then your use of roads, police, courts, eating at restaurants approved by health inspectors, and much more -- that's all theft of your own.

Sorry, but taxes are not theft in any general way, by any stretch of the imagination.
It's also unfair and immoral by definition. However long it's existed doesn't matter.
52x52 would be so easy compared to what we have right now, with sales tax varying street by street based on vague and inconsistent categories. Plus wouldn't it be closer to adding two out of 52 numbers together? Either way you can fit the rates on a single piece of paper and be done with it.
I installed vim on Ubuntu using apt-get, any tips on how to upgrade it?
While I agree with you in principle, that sites often use China to score easy Freedom Points, I disagree that we're dealing with an instance of such behaviour here.

Wikipedia has long had a principled policy of opposition to censorship. For some examples, see the Virgin Killer article, which touched a nerve in Western society, a petition to remove depictions of the prophet Muhammed that was signed hundreds of thousands of times, and the very recent attempts by French intelligence services to have an article on the French Wikipedia deleted.

I do not see this latest public stance as deviating from their previous ones.
One can only wonder when it will be illegal to not have a tracking device (smartphone) attached to you.
You make good points, upvoted.
> “Some of the most convincing experiments were the early ones,” Dr. Kheir said. “We drew each other’s blood, mixed it in a test tube with the microparticles, and watched blue blood turn immediately red, right before our eyes.”

That sounds very unconvincing to me, considering that actual human blood is never blue, not even when deoxygenated.
Researchers took years to whittle it down to the right oxygen concentration and size required to make it safe to inject. They used a sonicator that uses sound waves to blend the oxygen and fats together.

the manufacturing process sounds so simple. However if it will one day be in every hospital, these people will be millionaires with rights to the invention.
I'm building a service right now that is a community site for people in the fashion photography (photographers/models/etc) world. The images that these people upload are sometimes much bigger than 8MB but we still need to optimize them for display on the web.

Would love to use something like Kraken as we'll be processing a TON of images, but 8MB limit would be a deal breaker.

Right, this definitely seems like it's really to be used when oxygenation is the main problem. I'm guessing they'll worry about the acidosis after they get your heart and lungs working again. I'm not so sure about the suggestion in the article that this is going to be used by divers.
Three brands of water
This looks great!

How would I use this as part of an asset pipeline? If I'm running it as part of an automated process, I'd love to see prices that support that model, as well as caching so that doing the same image multiple times doesn't increase my bill. Any thoughts?
FOIA requests over a certain threshold require the requester to pay fees, so certainly the "cost" of a FOIA request can be passed along.

I'm skeptical about the problems the NSA has with searching emails, since they could probably just install some of their own tools on their email servers to index and collate. I have a feeling its more of a political lack of will rather than technological. These folks want scrutiny into everyone else, not themselves.
I have a data point which supports the thesis, at least in the torso and tail. I have a published two books within the last 16 months. For the first one, published in early 2012, the Kindle sales were usually 2x to 3x that of the print sales.

This held steady until around November of last year, and then suddenly declined. Today print sales are nearly 2x that of the Kindle sales.

The important data point is that the Amazon sales ranks of both have remained steady.
If the design is stolen, then he stole it and made it better... IMO...
Geez, if you know so much about security then why are you asking us?

In all seriousness, I wholeheartedly agree with Patrick. A given platform (ASP.NET or Ruby On Rails) will not be a dominating factor. It's about whether or not you know about risks involved in writing web applications and how you mitigate against it as a developer. If you don't know what you are doing, both .NET and Ruby On Rails solutions will be vulnerable to SQL Injection, CSRF, XSS etc.
this question exposes my ignorance of how lungs work, but in a situation where the lungs were in good working order, would carbon dioxide build up in them (to be breathed out)?
Hot technology? PHP has more jobs than Ruby and Python put together. Theres still a lot of legacy code. You teach a beginner Ruby on Rails he will have less of a chance finding a job than you teach with PHP. Only people using Ruby on Rails is mainly startups and I'm sure they are not looking for people who just started learning Ruby on Rails. PHP gives you a clear overview how you can embed code in an HTML and also use a database with it makes much more sense. I will definitely pay for it if you went this route but I got my fingers crossed good luck.

It takes about 1182 seconds for light to go from Earth to Mars. Which means that it will take about 39 minutes to see Google and this is if you already resolved the DNS.
Also, the background, did OP create it? or did OP find a free one on subtlepatterns.com?
AFAIK, they're not, which is one of the reasons that newer versions of VLC have problems playing videos which play fine on older versions -- because the license-requiring codecs have been removed, and only sometimes replaced by free codecs or workarounds.
Paying a use tax is often overlooked, especially when a significant amount of hardware purchases are made through Amazon which does not charge sales tax in MA (yet). If you are a controller, it is relatively easy to keep track of these purchases throughout the quarter and pay 4 times per year.

You should generally file some amount each quarter (even zero), if only to keep the MA DOR off your back.
Second that, I think "inspired" is a more apt term than "stole" and is a common practice in webdesign/apps.
I think the user experience of Unity is largely stable, so I agree with your point. I just thought I'd mention that there's a rewrite of Unity underway, so the software itself might not be stable in upcoming Ubuntu releases.

According to Wikipedia [1], water in the lungs has some nasty effects aside from just oxygen deprivation. Lungs have such a huge internal surface area to allow things to diffuse in and out of the bloodstream, including water. Unless you were breathing an isotonic saline solution, your blood would quickly become either too thick or too dilute to support life.
