I was thinking earlier they might sell livebooting usb3 sticks with SteamOS and HL3 on them, alongside the actual Steamboxes. They could bundle it with the controller. Then release it for windows/mac a month later.

If they could get it to boot in like 5 seconds, and it came with the ability to play a range of existing steam titles, it might be a winner.

As someone who is currently establishing a software development office in Bangladesh for a western company this is my perspective on child labor

Child labor is a long term problem for any country as it keeps kids out of school and locks them in low wage jobs for the rest of their live, meaning less tax revenue for the country. Educating the young generation is an investment in the future that brings more sophisticated work and higher wage jobs. Very Simple.

In Bangladesh underemployment among healthy adults is so widespread that child labor can only be ascribed to bad governance. Clearly the government, if it cared about future growth and wealth in the country, should create a scheme allowing children to learn and healthy adults to work.

Simply banning child labor is not enough as this story so clearly explains. The family needs the money, and doesn't have idle healthy adults who could could replace meem's income. Some fairly sophisticated scheme is required for this to work. Call it wealth distribution, social security or whatever.

Currently the government is not able to provide such a scheme and as a result the country will develop much slower than it could otherwise.
Things would have been better if everyone in the situation acted like adults. No matter how detailed and specific the Code of Conduct, Adria probably would have done what she did anyway.

Rather than worrying about the effects of shaming people publicly, conferences are basically putting up "no glass in pool area" and announcing their triumph at conquering this problem.

Your examples such as

* Fewer hours and more breaks

* Disability and health benefits

are definitely major issues with a massive economic impact. Unless 'fewer hours' is forced on all your competitors as well by effective labor legislation, anyone offering hour less for the same pay would quickly go out of business while the exploiters would grow - the effect of anything an employer can decide wouldn't cause any change to 'marginal cost of goods' - the price would stay the same as determined by the majority of competitors, and only loss would be to that owner.

I recently installed linux mint 15. It has been a bit problematic.

One problem is that it wouldn't shut down. I had to edit the grub2 config to get it to shut down.

Also, at one point the sound randomly stopped working. Would only see the dummy output. Had to reboot to get the sound back. So I don't think I fully fixed that issue.

I was using xubuntu before, and it's really hard to resize the windows. There's a weirdly small area to click on, which is frustrating. There was also a problem with the right mouse click which needed to be fixed with a config change.

It's just buggy, where I would expect things to work.

I am amazed at how many people do this (or put fruit through as 'onion' on self checkout). It isn't just completely stupid people that do it either, people with jobs to lose, a criminal record that doesn't need to be added to, posh people with a sense of entitlement - all kinds.

On learning of such a trait in someone I ask 'what if you get caught?', but actually it is not them getting caught that matters. Think of the people that work in that shop and the position they get put in having to deal with petty cheats. Also, would you really want to be banned from the store you get your groceries from? That would be a big inconvenience.
OP here :) I didn't necessarily mean it as a bad thing. It helps yourself to become more independent and less of a follower of your particular society's group-think, potentially giving you more unique ideas.

there cannot possibly be a better specification than freely available source code

That's even more horse shit and a poor excuse if there ever was one for not documenting something properly.

The source code by nature covers a subset of the standard as it can't cover every logical edge case and it isn't verified. At least the documentation is the verification source.

Not only that, I've delved into the LibreOffice source code and it's horrible, convoluted and a rats nest from hell.

What a great set of lists! I had a sudden flashback to the days of the "Beowulf Cluster of X" meme, but in all seriousness, my favorite used to be towns I've lived in or visited, but that too is a bit cumbersome to remember in a pinch sometimes.

These days, I go with colors - I usually get a handy 7 right from the start - so I don't need to dig in too much. I've also gone with desserts or sweets and I'm sure Android was a big inspiration (albeit subconsciously) for that.

One concern I've always had with the idea that the rich "re-invest" in the economy is how much they actually invest in American businesses vs sit on the money or invest abroad. A minimum basic income will assuredly increase spending on basic necessities in American businesses.
Where do you get your news? No where near $650m was spent on Healthcare.gov (but, perhaps maybe it should considering the project grew considerably in scope when so many states refused to setup their own exchanges).
> It looks like some people may have used the Issues system to launch asinine political bromides against Obamacare proper - that were and are completely impertinent to the GitHub project.

Seems a fair reason to turn off the issues, at least for the time being. However, it is interesting that a similar abuse of issues [1] is left undisturbed by administrators of the WhiteHouse account when the asinine political bromides are favorable to the current administration.

I don't expect anything less, of course.

I agree that the war on drugs should indeed not called a war and instead of strictly forbeeding all drugs it should instead put realistic boundaries given our society allowing and accepting some types of them! I also believe that limits and boundaries are useful in any society because having no lines does not only affect the one single person who is a heavily drug addict, but it is also affecting the entire society, thus having them completely uncontrollable is as bad as forbeeding it completely !

I've been trying ubumtu since 8.04, revising it every year or so. Just tried 13.04 and it's the same old pile of... I encounter problems everywhere - updates crashing some program, alt+tab not working, drivers crashing, removing myself from sudoers file by accident, problems with flash, java is a pain to get going, etc. I need to do work and the OS gets in the way. I need to google a problem every day and that breaks my workflow. It's a terrible experience honestly.

She has pressed charges via the internet. Many of the people on here have accepted judgement and this will stick with Joe for ever. Yes Joe made a very bad choice and was he being malicious by moving forward in his advance KNOWING Justine did not want any part of it. The looks to be a hard argument to honestly make. I am not convinced by her own account. Intent matters and I doubt Joe intended to sexually assault one of his own employees in front of his other employees in a bar. That is the real question here.
That could bite you if you happen to start to work with someone with that name. Therefore, RFC 1178 recommmends not naming hosts using names of people.

Get your facts right.
Most countries don't wish to grow an industry "slowly with respect to human lives" even if they have enough food to feed themselves.

As it shows in practice all over the world, if people are given the chance to go from subsistence agriculture to sweatshops, they do so eagerly, intentionally migrating a thousand miles away from their families if needed so. You'd need to apply a lot of force and bloodshed to move them back away from those jobs to the farming; and when given a fair vote, those workers press for many things but not on slowing down industry growth, rather the opposite.

This was the first and only commit. So it didn't reflect the actual website anyway. There are bugs in the website such as incorrect email address validation that are not present in this code dump.

Since this is public domain software, I will put a copy of the git repo on Archive.org when I get a free hour.
Nice! I did this without being aware that it was a good thing to do, and with a small network. I chose Finnish goddess names, some of which got pretty unwieldy...
Stay at home mom? What do you DO all day?
How about this site (http://namingschemes.com) for hostname schemes? Honestly, though, I prefer hostnames that tell you what a machine does.
As a father of two small children, I can identify with this. If one of them wakes up and I need to get up in the middle of the night to settle the, back doen, then my sleep rhythm is completely screwed. I often lie awake for another 1-2 hours unable to get back to sleep.

The nights where they both sleep through are godsends! I feel so much better the next day.

Sometimes when one of them has had a really bad night, I need to go for a walk around the block in the morning to clear my head, otherwise I feel (unfairly since they can't help it) grumpy with the child that had woken me up.

Over time I'm fairly sure that this lack of sleep is detrimental to your health. I have no idea how people end up having 4, 5, 6 kids! They must be crazy.
I got so many mixed messages about the IT cost, ranging from 94 million to 650 now, I really wonder how much this huge muddle cost?
Remember, 5 months ago over 1,100 people confirmed dead when a garment factory collapsed in Savar district of Dhaka, Bangladesh with over 3,000 people inside. People's survival rights should not have to wait on an economic miracle, new elections, Western people's blessings, Adam Smith's invisible hand, God, or reincarnation. Waiting for such a crisis where things go beyond the pale to punish a couple of corrupt owners is not enough. When Third World people have enough and demand change we should not sit idle and support the Western countries who then start pumping in money for weapons to suppress the people on pretext that it is economic aid or to fight terrorism. The West cannot stay so rich and have conditions improve for the World's toiling poor. Freedom to get rich and monopolize resources is not freedom or fairness for everyone.
There are a LOT of upvotes.
True. I guess it makes a difference if your stay is intended to be a permanent one or not! It sounds like yours is temporary, whilst mine is intended to be permanent.
You still have to actively check Ubuntu's hardware compatibility list [1] before buying/building new PC's, and avoid hardware that hasn't been confirmed. Sounds like some or all of your system - the network drivers especially, maybe video too - didn't have support yet.

Definitely still a user experience problem inexperienced Linux users, but on fully supported hardware the user experience is good as Windows.

Until we have an easy/efficient way of identifying such folk though (those who are truly capable vs those who are disabled/incapable) the most efficient solution is probably something like a minimum basic income.
In the US, at least, consenting adults are free to do what they like within reasonable limits, of course with a concession for obscenity while in public. There's nothing particularly obscene about doing a body shot in good company. Had it occurred to you that some might find it fun?

Two things about your "culture":
1. Why does your culture seek to prescribe sexuality in such a seemingly overbearing way?
2. Has your culture not yet moved beyond slut-shaming, which is irrational and harmful for all parties involved?

Problem is: if you have a job in the DEA or your business in running prisons, you probably don't view the war on drugs as a broken business model at all. You'd even go so far as to hire lobbyists to keep it going...
MarkMonitor is used by companies that are interested in protecting their brand(s) online. For example, imagine Rolex would be interested in knowing if/when/how many fake watch sellers had online shops that used the keyword 'rolex' in their domain as means of appearing reputable or signalling that they offer exclusive/luxury (knock-off) products. I believe they offer more services than that though, but the point is that they're not a regular registrar.

I think there's a useful distinction to be made between data and code here. Your code typically writes to your data store. Your code does not typically write to your code.

It's a lot more reasonable that an attacker manages to convince your code to write some malicious data, than it is that an attacker has full write access to your filesystem.

As an analogy: your SQL database probably writes to a filesystem somewhere. If it's running on the same machine as your app server, it may be on the same filesystem. But, say, SQL injection attacks are still infinitely more common than "can write to the source file currently being executed".

Or, to rephrase: being writable (by the user executing app code) is a default state for your data store. It isn't a default state for your app, or your kernel.
You can be detained indefinitely for no reason, even if you're a citizen. Habeas corpus and probable cause don't apply.
Actually people don't give a shit who work there (a big chunk of the staff steal produce or write it off and take it home as well), there are plenty of other shops to choose from, the police don't care (in the UK they send you a letter if you get mugged apologising for not coming out) and the business find it costly to deal with the people. It's only significant if it's more than a few pounds/dollars which is why high value retail tend to have competent security.

When capitalism pushes profit margins, some losses are insignificant not to invest in otherwise they will hurt the margins they are trying to protect.

Also if they gave a shit, they'd have staff on all checkouts and not use self-service checkouts. Staff are more expensive.

They know; they just don't care.
The comparisons drawn in this article are far from accurate. Comparing the Xbox taking off vs the ps2 is a far different comparison than of Windows vs Linux. If we are talking in terms of gaming by itself, it still is a bad comparison. The Xbox and PS3 had a comparable quantity and quality of games at the point when Halo was released. The buyer was already making a choice between two fairly closely matched (in terms of cost, available games, and features such as online experience ETC.) machines. One game MAY have been able to persuade them to purchase one system or the other, but this is a far different situation.

Windows has 20x (probably more) good games than linux, is as stable, comes already loaded on almost every machine you buy, has a far larger choice of other apps, Everyone is used to the windows experience (although win 8 changes that), and maybe most importantly - it has a user base that is 20x that of desktop Linux (you won't be able to play most of your friends in a Linux exclusive game today).

The claim in this article may be true someday, but today is not that day. Linux has a LOT more ground to make up before this article/premise can actually hold water.
A simple question - would ms. Meem from the article be happy if you went there and got the owner to fire her and other kids mentioned? That would be a small step towards eliminating child labor there, would you be proud and count it as a small victory?
That may have been the coolest cinematography of a real piece of space hardware I've ever seen. One robotically controlled flying camera shooting and flying around a reusable spaceship, both right out of sci-fi.
If you think you know the place after six month you are in for a loooot of surprises, e.g., culture shock, or to see that after some time you are not really a foreigner and not really a local anymore. You also have to apply to rules, just different ones from the locals. But that only happens after people learn to know you after some time.
Nice ... but what is it good for ?
This has been discussed often, some web sites keep cost statistics.

For example, Google: living costs london cluj

(I was outsourced to Cluj, Transylvania in Romania. I recommend it. 250 Euro/month for a nice, central 50 m2 apartment. People are nice, it is safe. Different. Beautiful women. Mountains, but no sea. University city. The food is very good, but could be more international -- a few sushi places and one(!) Indian. If you want more info, add a comment and your email in your profile.)

If I had a choice personally, I'd go for Japan. For culture/food.
We get a lot of things wrong in our culture. But, when all is said and done, and our civilization crumbles into ashes, we are going to most regret the way we treated mothers and children.
