It's disgusting to me. I'm a bit of an Apple fan boy and i have a ton invested in the iOS/Mac ecosystem but this really pushes me further away. I'm really close to switching to Android and linux because of issues like this. Sure there are worse things a company can do but I have a real issue supporting a company that behaves in this manner.

Romney wouldn't even talk about Romneycare during the campaign. Taking credit for what the far-right wing of the Republican party deems "socialism" wouldn't have played well for him.

This is cool. The pictures are great looking. Takes me back to the intellivision days.
Absolutely no one is suggesting that audio is being used to spontaneously infect previously uninfected systems. No one has ever suggested that except for people who have failed to carefully and completely read the article. The claim is infected machines are using it to communicate, not that uninfected machines are being infected by it.
The bars are relative to data in it's own category (eg. 200x), you're comparing apples to oranges.

Tribbles! Downvoted. But here's my point:

http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/04/29/what-will-rm-rf-actuall...
The problem is that your real worth, and your potential worth are two different things. Facebook/Tencent finds their users and especially their youth valuable. Factoring that into their value, they think they're worth 4 billion.

That said, that's far too high of a real worth for this company, illustrating how a prospective buyer can really drive up your companies pricetag. It may factor in real revenues and growth potential, but this price is largely market speculation. Very risky, but apparently worth it for some big players. My advice to the little guy is to stay out of it cause if one thing goes wrong the whole price could come tumbling down.
Graphs and pathing in C#
There are two or three major competitors that I'm aware of (other than the GameStops and Amazons of the world), and a handful of smaller ones. We're currently, by my estimates, the third largest. The folks who I now run the site for own the largest (as far as I'm aware), but we're mostly independent since I still operate it day-to-day.

One of the major points of the site is that you get 100% of the value you sell the game for. If it's going for $40 used, and you sell it for 4000 credits (the site's currency, valued at $1/100), you get 4000 credits to spend on something else.

If you make software, you are likely in the exact same position as Google. There's no reason Apple couldn't sue you with the same broad patents. And while it's obviously unlikely that they will sue you, the fact that they did sue their competitor over these over-broad patents should deeply trouble you.
Fair enough -- maybe we should find a different word. It's a reasonable bare minimum standard in the computing world, where it's practical: it makes it possible to trace back from questions and problems with the claim.
Most likely the "open source tea party" post wherein Mr. Shuttleworth collectivized and dismissed any and all critics as irrational haters with nothing of substance to say.
SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred, based in Dublin,Ireland

About income, no. About stealing yes.

If you are on the dole and you are a buying things that aren't necessary to survive, you are stealing.

A relative of mine owns several condos and some of his renters are "Section 8". The state pays for 90% of their rent, they only need to come up with 10%. One guy who couldn't come up with his 10% (and got evicted) had an xbox connected to a big screen TV. How is that not stealing?

If you take money from others to pay for your food or for your rent you don't deserve an xbox, a TV, an iPhone 5. You deserve to go the public library and learn something to make yourself more marketable. You deserve to work 3 jobs until you can pay your own way for necessities.
Sorry! I'm not trashing these projects at all. They're very impressive. (Aside: I don't think it's healthy to be as invested as you are in random Internet comments.)

But, as you said, there is hype/publicity with OSS. I wanted to emphasize that is not a pure meritocracy, even within OSS. If people aren't ready for your project, then it won't be adopted, regardless of how good it is. It is very similar to consumer technology.

Regarding composability: what are your thoughts on communities (like Clojure's) that consciously reject the notion of One True Framework?
This would take about a hour to code in Meteor and quite a bit less code as well. Nice job though, love the idea!
I do hope KDE will keep working on Ubuntu? I have to use Ubuntu on some workstation, having KDE on it makes it reasonable (the default UI is an immediate dismiss for me, I'm clearly not the target audience of that one).

To me Ubuntu is to other Linuxes, what Apple is to PC. The more closed, independent, "simple but beautiful" (noting that "simple" is not my own style and preference) variant.
But with this we could kill people all over the globe in record time!

Edit: Just to be clear, this is sarcasm.
Ideally we would measure success in terms of happiness / GDP, not GDP alone.

That said, services like airbnb have externalities in cost which are born by all citizens. Transients staying next door? No thanks. Increased rents? Ouch!
In the same way that 20k a year and 100k a year are fairly close salaries ;)
I'm very sad to see this, but given the turn Ubuntu has taken, I'm not very surprised.

Since Mr. Shuttleworth apparently decided he doesn't need the community, perhaps they should part ways amicably while they can.

Shareholders can and have replaced the Board of Directors of public companies, based on their lack of faith in the company's ability to maximize profits. The Board of Directors is in charge of hiring and firing for the senior executives. The Board of Directors and Senior Executives know this, and aren't stupid.

All that has to happen is that shareholders (which are often other corporations) need to act RESPONSIBLY, and you're right, this meme will die. I expect the sun to go red giant, first, though.
> I had to learn that it is no longer possible to criticize Ubuntu/Canonical for their technical decisions and to disagree with them. There are many users who seem to think that Ubuntu is a religion and Canonical without fail. If you criticize technical decision you are a heretic and the holy inquisition is coming after you to burn you. Ubuntu has lost it's meaning. There is no human kindness in this community any more.

People criticise Ubuntu and Canonical all the time. There are countless posts and comments about the Amazon lens, and many on their decision to go with Mir over Wayland.

This is ridiculously hyperbolic.
I figure to gain much-needed political capital somehow. It's probably a dead-in-the-water project, and they need some mil-industry complex saber rattling to give it a much needed (desperate) jump start. Because it sounds pretty useless to me.

The article claims there's a growing intel gap, and yet what's changed since the original was retired (other than satellite coverage getting better, + unmanned drones)? It's probably still going to be ridiculously expensive to operate, and provides what advantages? Who are we going to use this on? The only nations that can probably deny us satellite coverage, at least politically, are China and Russia, and are we really going to start flying hypersonic jets over their airspace anyway? This whole thing just makes me laugh.

Is there any other open-sourced trip planning code? The main one I could find on github is OpenTripPlanner [https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner]

The travel industry is plagued by Trip planning startups that don't make it. I would have thought one of these might have open-sourced their code before.
I've just started using scapy recently. The syntax is a little inconsistent, but it's really powerful. It defines a domain-specific language (DSL) that piggybacks on python syntax. You can make a traceroute-like object in one line:

pkt = IP(dst=target, ttl=(4,25),id=RandShort())/TCP(flags=0x2)

This single pkt object describes 22 IP packets, each with a TTL from 4 to 24 inclusive. Each IP packet encapsulates a TCP packet with the SYN flag set.

Given the secrecy normally surrounding Skunk Works I suppose this is some sort of PR exercise.
Let's do it. I'm in the same boat... long-time OS X user and iOS dev. But I am not putting up with it anymore. OS X has been enough of a headache for development that I am ready to move to Linux for that alone, but this is just icing on the cake. They are actively pushing me away.
I get a message saying "No such app". Does anyone else have this problem?

It was essentially a bipartisan reform bill. Had Bush proposed the bill, Republicans would likely have voted en masse for it.

As for the Constitutionality of it, the Supreme Court disagrees.
Sure I'm completely on board to fix the patent system but it does not follow that I should continue to support a company that I believe behaves unethically. Apple boycott, yeah I doubt it will happen but that's not the point. It's about informing my personal choices and helping to speak out to inform others. Boycott's unlikely to change anything but real change tends to come from lots of people speaking out and informing lots of other people.
I find it most ironic that when the Internet was owned by the public (government) it was decentralized and more free. When it was given to private business in the mid 90s it became what it is today.

You may want to consider the economics of why the Internet has turned out the way it is. Why do these companies feel they need to collect so much personal information that it can be abused?

I think the answer is clear. There is no money to be made from a decentralized and free Internet by Silicon Valley...

I had created a travel app very very similar to yours earlier this year using RoR and AngularJS as well. Eventually it fell on the wayside. I just open sourced it: https://github.com/jesalg/Travelizer

We should talk about how to collaborate our efforts.
Thanks for such a detailed background! Definitely sounds pretty exciting. Are there any positions based in Toronto, Canada?
Also part of the "Golden Age" of America was generational thinking. Many people immigrated to America not to become rich themselves but to provide better opportunity for their children. Even if you don't believe that rags-to-riches stories are possible in the extreme, it is certainly possible to be born poor and work your way up the point that your children are able to go to college, which allows them to provide your grandchildren with even more opportunity.
My Apple fanboy friends always try to argue how Apple's hardware and software are superior, as if that'll convince me that I should buy Apple gear.

I keep explaining the same thing: I know Apple makes the best stuff. I don't avoid Apple because of quality considerations. I avoid Apple because they're screwing up the industry, an industry I use for both my career and my hobbies.
Sorry, there's a bit of misunderstanding here; I should have made it clearer. Password type fields shouldn't autocomplete on browsers anyway. The "good practice" I meant is for devs to set autocomplete off for the username field - to prevent the login username or email address popping up (especially if the site is accessed on public or shared computers).
Nice move by Mark to accuse others of full NIH (and "open source tea-partying" no less), when they announced and started working on Mir long after Wayland was already gaining traction.

Ubuntu does lots of things right (being overly decisive being one of them), but this whole Mir-affair just strikes me as plain absurd.
