And you base that on what? Sending someone a message to give them a heads up on their security, no matter the medium used, is not malicious behavior, if you feel it is .. well, the world must be a very scary place for you.
Red Hat doesn't offer a real world solution to the problem of auditing sysadmins. That's entirely my point.
I don't think that people who work for the NSA generally acknowledge that they do. Not necessarily out of shame or fear of being outcast, but just because of the nature of working in the "black/top secret world". Some name some non-existent entity as their employer - in a social situation, who would really know if they were lying? And if they are working for a contractor, they can quite easily just name the contractor as the employer
> That's the only way you'd ever want to power a USB device though. It makes no sense to power the host from the device. Plus this isn't even the case with iPod docks - they're all powered in the mains.

You're still not getting it. I want the dock to power the tablet so it charges, the dock gets power from mains does not change that at all.

> The host on an iPod dock isn't the iPod; it's the dock.

You can't make this statement definitively. If one of the features of the dock is a keyboard, it's going to be acting as a HID interface device and will be acting in device mode....

> The thing with USB is, it doesn't matter which device is the server and which is the client at the software end as that's just an arbitrary software paradigm.

This is wrong. A 'device' can never initiate a transfer, all transfers are negotiated by the 'host'. The 'host' is the bus master and manages all transfers regardless of what they are or where they are going. e.i. USB is a 'polling' interface, not a 'pushing' interface. You can not have more than 1 host on a USB bus.

Adblock makes back room deals with corporations and publishers to allow some ads through. Obviously GMail ads are still shown, but keep an eye out, you will notice others.
My situation is the opposite. I spent 2 years with vim and switched to emacs. I used evil mode with emacs for about six months and then decided to go back to emacs bindings*. I use key chord mode and ace jump mode to quickly jump around. I find that workflow better and even easier on the wrists/fingers. Ultimately, whichever editor I use I end up getting hand pain on different fingers so I will sometimes toggle back and forth to balance it out.
As much as I would like to agree, I don't. The parent comment you replied to is right.

A Prius is a lot simpler. All the electric components are well away from all the 'usual' cut locations.

Obviously all the normal concerns apply (air bags, pretentioners, etc), but from an extrication perspective, they're pretty straightforward.

The one issue common to all EVs (hybrid or plugin) is that the can silently deliver power to the wheels. With a 'normal' car, you can hear the engine running. With an EV, it can be harder to tell if it's on or not.

One of the first things we do it secure the keys, but with keyless ignition, the key may be trapped in the drivers pocket. That means the big round 'On' button just needs to be bumped by someone for the car to power up. That's why it's critical that we're able to disable the electrical systems of the car, to prevent it from starting up unexpectedly.
Didn't Manning just dump a vast amount of data pretty much indiscriminately? That's very different from what Snowden revealed, which feels much more like actual 'whistleblowing' to me.

It does not seem unreasonable to me that diplomats need to communicate openly and frankly between one another, even as they say other things in public. In other words, just like we should be free of NSA spying, they ought to be reasonably sure their discussions don't get splashed over the internet unless it's to uncover some heinous or criminal activity. That would actually be whistleblowing. Maybe some of his data dump could be classified that way, but most likely most if it isn't. I admit to not knowing the details.
One thing going against them is how h1b gets consumed. The 2013 cap (last year, not thing year) distribution indicates more than 40k out of 65k worker cap was filled by outsourcing company. (source: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2013-H1B-Visa-Sponsor.aspx). I am sure the number is similar even this year just as it has been the last so many years.

Even the other often abused visa L1 is primarily filled by outsourcers (I am trying to find some numbers on this but hard to find).

The outsourcing companies have been filing h1 for less than 1k lawyer fee (outsourced too!).
5K seems too high for someone to take note . The best law firms themselves charge about that here in USA.

I think this company can help out the startups in the bay area that are clueless how to sponsor a H1 (all the legalities of it) and makes it simple to them perhaps doing everything online from get go. That won't be more than 15/20k per year. So even the best case they are probably seeing a $1million dollar run rate per year (Which might be great for a 4/5 member startup?).

They should diversify into other areas - tax (for immigrants)/corporate (hiring/transfers) - which will have more incidences to charge.

Sapphire glass is far from being a 'fancy sounding gimmick'.

It is, in fact, the "transparent aluminum" from Star Trek. Which was an elaborate joke on the fact that pure aluminum oxide is harder than anything except elemental boron and diamond.

Keep emery boards away from your sapphire screen and it simply will not scratch. I can't wait, personally, and have been disappointed that the camera lens on iPhones is not yet sapphire since the 4.

Promises/A+ - understanding the spec through implementation
The British Isles have a long history of the government relatively painlessly surrendering and/or distributing bits of its power going back centuries. It of course also has some examples of it being done only painfully and with blood, but there's still multiple existence proofs there.

I don't think we've reached the point where this is out of the question per se. I do think it's pretty unlikely that we're going to be able to just extract out this particular bit of government, though. The only hope is a broad-based move in a libertarian direction. Plink just the NSA right now and adhoc combinations of other agencies will seamlessly move right in. To name one example, the DEA would happily step in to this sort of surveillance if the NSA wasn't there.

(I operate on a "direction" theory of voting. You don't have to be a libertarian right now to vote that way. You just have to think we have too much government right now. It's not a forever commitment. If we somehow finally reach "too little", feel free to vote for "bigger".)
Last year Google spent $18,220,000 lobbying Congress -- #8 on the top spenders list (http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/top.php?showYear=2012&index...). That's not fiction, but it's a drop in Google's coffers.

And the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Elec...) removed the ban which prevented corporations from using their treasury funds for direct advocacy.
of course not.

We're working on Syme (www.getsyme.com), an encrypted social network for groups.

We've leveraged the latest HTML5 APIs and combined them with crypto primitives like ECC 384 (for message confidentiality), ECDSA (for message authentication), AES 256 in CCM mode (for message integrity), PAK-DH and ECDH-HMAC (for secure key exchanges), and PBKDF2 and SRP (for user authentication and credential generation).

The technical challenge for Syme is to create a decentralized public-key infrastructure with no single point of trust, so that no central server or trusted third party is required to establish trust between users.
Source? This does not pass the smell test. (And why do you qualify "net-positive exports"?)
I'm pretty sure I recall hearing the NSA never lets anything leave their facilities intact when decomissioning or otherwise disposing.
I've heard a story of brand new very expensive servers (big Sun machines I think) sitting in a loading dock, still on pallettes, having the project cancelled and having them destroyed unused rather than risk data leaving the building.

On one side: people as literal property, with no rights. They and their children are treated no better than intelligent cattle, and their continued survival is a function of their current economic worth.

On the other hand: a private company offers you a free service which if you may voluntarily opt-in to. If you so choose, they will use to collect information of value to try and sell you stuff. You may then choose, or not, to engage with those advertisements. In many cases, there are trivial options to hinder or reduce this tracking, including options provided by the companies themselves.

It is certainly hyperbole, and succeeds only in (a) demeaning further those millions of people trapped in real slavery, and (b) weakening any arguments on the negative aspects of internet surveillance.
This could be easily combined with joshuaellinger's suggestion for a "travel mode". Flip a switch before you leave (analogous to "airplane mode") and then 2FA codes must come from a third party (your lawyer). When you arrive, contact the third party (your lawyer) and re-enable access using your own 2FA.
Why would the US government be better about protecting my account information than companies who business is literally identity protection?
Yes I agree, when you join the army you are expected to give your life for your country protecting your peoples. As this goes, Army in most contries have different sets or rules set up for people within.

FWIW in most contries soldiers are fodder for other purposes beyond fighting wars, sometimes are subjects in scientific studies that border on eugenics crap that everyone knows of.

For what I would say - friends don't let friends join an Army.

Rich JavaScript Applications: the Seven Frameworks (Throne of JS, 2012)
Bradley Manning released a dump of over 700,000 files. Although there were some documents that revealed possible war crimes, there was no do due diligence performed to verify that the rest of the files were not putting people in danger. I'm curious as to how people are justifying those actions?

If someone releases a huge dump of classified files, without any possible war crimes, would we still defend them?
An hour seems excessive.

You're far more likely to get to the point and get a focused answer if you get it down to 5-10 minutes.
Because that's what the courts want very badly, at least as of the '80s. Several rounds of the solidly Democratic legislature passing "this time we mean it!" laws and the courts judicially nullifying as much as they could.

In one case I "watched" by reading the Boston Globe as it was tried, a man was sent to prison because he wasn't willing to leave his sleep daughter to the tender mercies of an home invader.

Hmm, I will work on some realworld examples, for sure. Mainly it's for faking the progress so the user can see something instead of seeing nothing which means you call progressbar.start() before the request and progressbar.complete() when the request is done.

But I will for sure look into using ngProgress with $http and $resource to see if I can make the swapping easier.
It starts off saying that it is unbreakable i.e the title, then a little way through goes onto say that its virtually impossible then towards the end it mentions that the Americans 'probably' wont be able to break it.

If not, then I really don't think this is a defence.

You brought up the rules of disclosure... not me. And you said they were unwritten... so I was trying to let you know that they are, in fact, written. If you were not talking about the bounty program then I have no idea what rules of disclosure you are talking about and I'll move on.
That sounds like the plea made by the prosecution at Haymarket Square --

Right because one day someone decided to make those rules and put them on paper.

Just like the rules they're putting on paper regarding civilians nowadays.

So, uhm, I don't think its right. I think it's following the paper. It's lawful, it's expected, etc. But it's not "right".
What's frustrating is working for a company that calls you a programmer that then expects you to be a business analyst, systems architect, DBA, QA person, and coder all in one. That's how it is where I work. We do have additional titles (I'm a systems analyst now), but the actual work isn't any different between levels. I've learned a lot, but I'll have a hard time convincing a new employer that I should be hired for a senior level position.
I think this direction can better be described as reaching toward a "native" experience, such as on mobile devices. You see this in Windows 8's full screen apps, they tend to be isolated containers, even though some are written using web technologies.

No, thank god I don't copy everything Google does. Of course you should focus on speed when doing some external resources, you sometime don't have the means to control how fast something is.

But I agree that you should focus on speed first instead of just placing a progressbar because something is slow.

If you paid attention to the sentencing hearings, it was clear that the chain of command should be largely responsible for the happenings of the Manning case. They repeatedly ignored and swept under the rug issues related to his mental state and fitness for duty, and a lot of it was done for the reasons of DADT.
Yes, really. No one has died and I have never heard of anyone of those being in danger. Michael Kozak, whom you quote, works for the State Department.

Aiui, they are. But, like a lawyer, doctor, or psychologist (a priest is not allowed break the seal of the confessional under any circumstances), there's a way of reporting these crimes.

It can be, but it generally isn't, look around the net and you'll see it's pretty clear that most think it's a message queue and it gets thrown into that mix when the topic comes up. People are always having to explain to others that it isn't a queue, that's bad naming of the product.
As a former actionscript programmer, this makes me cringe a little. My assumption is that actionscript is a new COBOL - tons of businesses rely on it, but now that it's looking like a dead end, the only way to fill those positions is to crank up the salary to compensate for the perceived dead space on a resume.

IMHO experience in it translates well to Javascript, but I miss some of the features - especially the type system and the token API (which was much more consistently implemented than the various JS deferred systems).

After WW2, the Allies condemned and executed a number of German and Japanese officers who had done little more than follow orders. What they had done was not against any laws at the time, and definitely within their organizations' code of conduct. I think that was a good thing because it established the principle that joining an organization does not absolve you from higher duties towards your fellow citizens or humanity at large. By exposing questionable decisions and arguably a number of war crimes, Manning broke his oath with the US Army but did a much greater service to the rest of us. By choosing to make an example out of his punishment, the US has struck a huge blow to its claims of moral superiority and American exceptionalism.
Your "foreign activists... helping us" deserves to be qualified. Helping "us" do what? Meddle in other state's domestic politics? Set up arms deals? Intellectual property treaties? Overthrow democratically elected governments?

The "State Department human-rights effort" is not exactly world-renown for its ethics. Quite the opposite.
Yeah, I'm not sure that the progressbar should disapear just because the width is 100% because the loading still can be unfinished. Therefore you should always call progressbar.complete() after the loading is done.

There has been a long history of people standing against their government at the risk of their lives, because some few principles of morality are higher than governments.

We have seen the case of Thoreau and friends, against slavery. And then De Gaulle and friends, against Hitler. In old China, it was also very common for confucean public servant to criticise their emperor and wait for the supplice. Now we have Bradley Manning, we can pin his photography on the board of the braves.

And do not get to me on "what is morality?" or "how do you choose your principles?" These are obvious to those who know them, and useless (or dangerous, even) to the rest.
