I'd actually rather see a hardcore nice CMS in something like Laravel, which is fairly similar to Rails. I don't think Rails is a non-starter but I'd like to see something that's LAMP friendly due to the ease and availability to beginners, students, and the generally broke.
But wouldn't the hitman want to clean up since... they did it?
More constructive criticism would be to offer some information on the expected efficiency of these panels as opposed to just dismissing them.
Why did you include in the fact that he's a libertarian? Libertarians are not against the use of force (unless it's through the state).

For example, MySQL accepts both ' and " as string delimiters.

Wouldn't "non-clean" be cheaper then, if fewer precautions are being taken?

I took it to mean fast and relatively painless versus protracted suffering, i.e. "non-clean", messy.
I'd guess that he might be willing to kill people in the case that there are threats to his personal security. He also had aspirations for his site to bring about a libertarian revolution and may have thought that threats to the integrity of the site were worth killing for.
Or that he got the $300K clean for the $150k price and thus there's no trace?

My high-level impression (based on a small amount of experience) is that if you want to ship a modified distro, it's easier to base your work on Debian than to based it on Ubuntu. The Debian project puts a lot of effort into making a wide variety of configurations work well. Ubuntu focuses on a single configuration, more or less, and they don't seem to mind if that introduces bugs in other configurations.

I personally switched from Ubuntu back to Debian when I realized that I was dealing with Ubuntu-specific bugs more often than I was benefiting from Ubuntu-specific features.

Where? I was thinking the same way, not really worrying about my phone, until recently when they lowered the price and cleared out their stock.

Hopefully the 5 will be a similar price point because I don't have a backup decent phone at the moment.
I get the impression the publishing industry is lagging the music industry by at least a couple of decades on this. The latter's pretty much conceded defeat in the DRM wars, while the former's opened a whole new front, apparently because they just can't come up with any better ideas than to invade Russia in September.
Fantastic find and read!

Interestingly, the FBI agent that wrote that document and requested his arrest warrant is the same one cited as tracking down Sabu of LulzSec: http://nymag.com/news/features/lulzsec-sabu-2012-6/index3.ht...
FYI: The company I work for does e-books in a fairly niche market and while we do have DRM, we have mechanisms in place to transfer ownership relatively painlessly. The fact that Amazon etc don't make that simple is not per se intrinsic to e-books.
"Red Rabbit" woke up the inner foreign policy wonk in me, despite how transparent Clancy's imperatives were - it's a pity he could never end up working his same genuine interest with China; I all recall is supposed Chinese naivety being dredged up - corporate espionage ("Chinese secretary has sex with supposed Japanese computer salesman in the name of her company"); "China: We Kill Priests and Babies".

They'd nevertheless invoked a great deal of meaningful machinery, though - certainly compared to the sheer suppository of machismatic agency that was Chavez-verse (credit probably required yet again, though: he was probably first to tread within the grounds of "contemporary tacticool".)

Patent troll Lodsys chickens out, folds case
It's easy to say that now while you're not on trial. What happens if the day comes where you are on trial, for something you may or may not be guilty of and what you have on your phone could potentially incriminate you, corroborating false accusations? We see it all the time, information is translated out of context and used in ways it was never supposed to be interpreted. It happens all over the media, it happens in smear campaigns in politics, it happens any time someone wants to get ahead of you on the promotional ladder. It's too late to come back after the fact and say "Well shit, I guess I should have considered the implications of that technology being used against me when I considered it just as a convenience." Sure, it's convenient. I get that, we all do. But if you don't consider the price of that convenience up front, you can't come back and complain that it was used against you afterwards.

We just bought our house a few months ago, so this is something I'm doing as well. I'm buying all energy-efficient appliances, and going 100% LED lights. I won't know my total energy costs until I fully move in, though, hopefully soon.

I became aware of this because last year I was hit with an electricity bill of $300 in a month because I ran a space heater every morning. After I did more investigation I realized I was paying about $40/month in electricity keeping my dual-CPU 8-core Xeon server running 24x7. The box alone ended up pushing me into the highest tier, so I was paying the highest rates for the last 5-6 days of the month, so it forced me to reevaluate my electricity use from the ground up.
State IT project. Unbelievably overstaffed, massive budget. Mediocre results, if not outright failure. Par for the course. Nobody should be surprised.
You seem to be assuming that the allegations are true. The understanding that most people have had is that DPR is a pure freedom fighter. If you take away those allegations, all that's left are fake "crimes" that aren't really crimes at all, just things that government doesn't like.

Edit: but I'm waiting and reading with an open mind.
Parts of the FCC operate on user fees, thus would be unaffected by the shutdown.
A lot of libertarian writing on force starts from a more general "non-aggression principle", and derives the wrongness of state violence as just one special case.
MySQL has been my go-to database for years because it was fast, reliable and effective. Unfortunately it hasn't been evolving as quickly as other databases, Postgres in particular.

There's a lot of quirks in MySQL that were excusable a decade a go, but now they're problems that've been solved in virtually every other database engine. Working with Sybase was never a pleasant experience, but versions a decade old have features that MySQL still doesn't have.

Every so often you'll hit the wall with MySQL, little things like applying a LIMIT in a subselect, or row length limitations, that will make you wonder why you're using MySQL at all.

MySQL is absolutely the PHP of databases.

120 Things Wrestling Taught Me About Business Success
The tragic part (for authors, publishers, the writing industry in general) - is that there is absolutely no way to apply DRM to a book, and the electronic duplicate of it (scan) is a 100% faithful replica.

Steve Jobs was absolutely correct when he said to the publishing industry that if they didn't immediately create a low-price, convenient, electronic version of their environment to compete with those that didn't care about copyrights, that they would soon find themselves in the same place the music industry did.

Books are also much, much smaller than music, and so, it's pretty trivial to get all the books that you'll ever be able to read in a relatively small download.

Publishing industry is shooting themselves in the foot if they don't examine what happened to the music industry and start making adjustments, and soon.

Chains & rods are what first sprang to mind, but I don't think they were ever common. The definition of 'furlong' from http://physics.info/system-english/ makes it seem like it could have been in common usage:

Literally, the length of a furrow. A sensible length for
farmers that later evolved into the acre, which is discussed
later in this section. A standard furrow is 220 yards long
or ⅛ mile

Google's ngram tool makes it seem like it was never a contender with the yard, mile, or league.

Well, the hardest thing is landing, followed by taking off. Although I guess certain in-flight emergencies would really be the hardest - mainly during landing or take off. The hardest thing they had to do was fly them straight and low enough to hit the buildings.

Join the rat race. Just make sure to either of the following: black, women, veteran, disabled if you want to go out on your own. If not, just sub contract from a minority owned business.
I think the fear is because of its digital format, ebooks can be lent en masse to unlimited numbers of people. Maybe there can be some sort of built-in transfer mechanism that would allow shared ebooks to temporarily leave the possession of its original owner to appear in the lender's presence. That emulates real-world books. Or would that be DRM?

Equity and Efficiency

Yes. The risks of doing a government contract are enormous.

Once an old family friend with a lot of state government contracting experience brought me in to help out with some technical stuff. One of the clauses in the contract basically said that they could just decide not to pay me.

After I got done spluttering, it was explained to me that they needed the clause in case of certain weird emergencies that never happened. (I can't remember now, but I imagine government shutdown is one of those cases.) So I said, "Whatever," and signed, because I could afford to take the risk.

But there is no way I'd do that for a substantial project. The bigger the client, the bigger the crazy. To be able to take $5m gambles, I'd want to be doing $50-100m/year. Which means I'm running a bloated, f'd-up bureaucracy for sure. No thanks; if I need more crazy in my life, I'll just go read some comments on YouTube or newspaper sites.
The government still exists, but there's no legal authority for many (but not all) of the federal employees to do work for the government, since there is no appropriation in force to pay for that work.

Those who are working are essentially working for the promise of payment at some indefinite time in the future (except for the military, who apparently really are a sacred cow...).
While I'm sure you're getting downvoted because people think that Linux the kernel has nothing to do with GNU, this isn't quite true: Linux uses the GNU General Public License and at the time of its initial announcement had to compare itself with GNU (and how it wasn't going to be as "professional" as GNU).

While Linus himself nowadays actively speaks out against GNU, he still use GNU's license and GNU's software (gcc and glibc), so even in Linux alone, without the GNU userland, we see some influence of GNU on Android.

I never soloed but got close and I've got friends with their ATP ticket working for minors and I assure you that 99% of flight training is "this is how not to get killed".

If they trained to do an instruments approach to the towers during a thunderstorm with a partial panel and an engine out, I'd be impressed. What they actually did, from a piloting perspective, eh. What minimal training they did, eh.

So if the pilot is out of the cockpit and its just you, and engine #2 experiences fuel starvation, and the lights are out (who cares why) the exact switches you need to flip to cross feed fuel and the exact gauges you need to look at with your flashlight to determine if its an engine problem or a fuel problem are ... and the exact procedures you follow depending on which it is are ... and you need to answer this instantly or fail your flight check. Or you're on an IFR approach in thunderstorms with one engine out and the primary VOR out now what do you do it doesn't handle the same and you're "uncomfortable" with alternate instruments. Also they test the pilots to destruction basically with distractions, in a simulator you lose cabin pressure and cabin lighting and engine 1 and the controls are feeling weird and there's a fire warning light and hydraulic caution so now what. Fire warning on APU #1 now what? OK now electric bus B just tripped off.

Its much more a damage control job than like being a perfect precise ballerina. Although if your flight maneuvers aren't as smooth as reasonably possible they're going to be pissed after you land, unless your a hijacker so you don't care...

Systematic force means laws, government, and the like. Hiring hitman is the libertarian free market at its best.
That's pretty riveting reading. I suspect HNers will be inclined to pit several technical nits with the affiant, which might distract from the murder-for-hire plot described in lurid detail therein.

(Alice claims to owe money to Bob, who Alice represents as a drug dealer. Alice threatens to expose SR users unless DPR pays Alice's debt with Bob. DPR asks to speak to Bob. Bob messages DPR. DPR attempts to recruit Bob to be a drug dealer on SR and, separately, asks if Bob can arrange for the murder of Alice. Bob quotes a price, which DPR says is twice the last price that DPR has arranged a murder at. DPR eventually agrees to the price, pays, and instructs Bob to take a photograph of the corpse with a random alphanumeric string in the frame, to ascertain that the photograph was indeed produced after the request. Bob reports that the murder is complete and sends the photograph, which DPR accepts as genuine. The affiant believes the likely conclusion -- that Alice and Bob are the same person and that DPR has been successfully extorted to the tune of $150,000 or so.)
