instead of making concessions to those who need an interface that works well with keyboard and passive monitor

What concessions are they missing? It's still the exact same damn shell when you drop down to Desktop mode. I use it all the time, on 3 different mouse&keyboard machines.
I didn't. You equal animal life to human life, hence your statements like "Would it be moral to kill you if I'd let you live in a decent, stress-free environment before your death?".

I do not find them equal - I find animals worth carrying about, I would like them to have decent lives, but ultimately - they are food and if they are killed quickly and painlessly then I don't have a problem with it.

I thought etanazir was being facetious, my bad. I guess I underestimated how many people can keep asking the same stupid question that assumes the dollar has intrinsic value while bitcoin does not. Usefulness is in the eye of the beholder.

If these people keep running around with blindfolds on, it might be time to put up some bumper walls.
... And the fix seems so minor, and the bug reporters are providing a patch for it, and they spent more energy arguing against the patch rather than including it. Classic example of developers not wanting to admit when a bug is a bug, and fixing it is easier than arguing not to.
The only tangible advantage that PHP has these days is in being able to be deployed pretty much everywhere for fairly cheaply.

If 'cost' is your absolute and only criteria, the answer is probably PHP. If place any other criteria above cost for language choices, the answer is probably Python.

Usually these questions involve more, and are harder to answer, but this one's generally pretty easy. Python.

The point of this is obviously that the USD is just as much as a construct as Bitcoin, which, sure! But of course the difference is that the dollar's value doesn't change by 20%+ in a day, so you can rely on it to execute transactions, sign contracts, set salaries, etc.

Bitcoin apologists have generally seemed to see Bitcoin's rise as a positive, which is somewhat true, but it has to be stable to be useful for ordinary people. A volatile currency is not a useful currency.
It depends how large you are. Managing physical boxes in a datacenter can be very expensive. Being able to virtualize on any platform is a good thing, as you can decide your own balance of costs between physical space, energy, network gear, network people, operations. These physical costs are often overlooked when you're talking about hardware. It takes a lot of $ to operate your own data center.

You presuppose that torture is always willful. In the context of human-scale meat production, it seems unavoidable. Yet we accept this, as it is necessary for consumer demands. The employees of factory farm facilities may very well suffer "emotional depravity;" not as a prerequisite for their duties, but as a result.

The nature of torture aside, taking the life of a sentient being is the ultimate violation of its rights. I don't see how any act less than killing can be considered morally worse than killing.
There is already a project whose name sadly escapes me that does this, using information theory to derive lower bounds on the number of bits of entropy in data read from a line-in jack.

The main security benefit of click-to-play plugin schemes is not to question the user about the security of an object, which is unknown in most cases anyway, but to prevent accidental drive-by loading and other annoying (and risky) usage. Clicking an overlay to run a plugin should be as natural as clicking on a video to begin playback.
I think that's a fair point. NVIDIA GPUs are co-processors and need a host system, which adds significantly to the cost, power draw and size. You can try to minimize this (e.g. by maximizing GPU density in a single server, for example you can apparently get 16 GPUs in a blade server format) but it's definitely always a significant factor. My guess is that NVIDIA sees this problem and will move away from the co-processor model and move towards a System-on-a-Chip design with GPU, ARM CPU, NIC and unified memory in a single package. If Parallella saw large usage in the areas you mention (endpoint devices in control systems, sensor arrays, etc) then the competition could be good for the market and force NVIDIA's hand. Of course Intel is working in a similar direction with Knight's Landing and AMD as well with their APUs (Accelerated Processing Units).
What exploitation? If I offer you a job paying below the market rate, don't take it.
I think fundamentally, people are growing more lonely as we shift from the purely physical realm into the abstract world of the web. You have startups like Grouper trying to solve loneliness, but in reality they may even be exacerbating it. We all get a little lonely sometimes, and I don't think there's a viable substitute to physically meeting someone. Barring a fundamental change in our brain chemistry.
You need some degree of entropy estimation at initialisation time or early boot numbers are predictable.
And the comment on the article by randyrand is "You show me the worst case scenario, but what is the average case?" which has nothing to do with the morality of raising animals for slaughter nor does the article.

> how easy, cheap and healthy it is to live without meat, or dairy, for that matter.

Given the volume and nature of advice in the vegan community for how not to hurt yourself eating as a vegan, I would say that "easy" or "healthy" is not a word that could be reasonably associated with a sustained, long-term vegan diet.

Even long-term vegans have difficulty in getting complete nutrition on their diet which is offered almost by default in a basic omnivorous diet.
I agree with most of what you are saying but since you wrote "we" and "us" I would have preferred that you would have written the comment in a way that does not scream "We are insecure!"
I really enjoyed Anachronox which was also released by Ion Storm around the same time as Daikatana.
No, you're ignoring the reality of the issue! Whether people eat meat or not doesn't matter. How is "a lot of people do it" even a point?

Slavery was a "world reality" too. Would you have suggested a compromise instead of just banning slavery?
That would be awesome. I just got on a new project a week ago where the PM sent me a link to Zero MQ and basically said "here, read this".
The internet is very "delable". Usenet wasn't archived en masse until DejaNews. Even then it wasn't a complete archive. They also allowed posts to be deleted. DN sold the archive to Google in 2001, who ironically implemented a terrible search feature. Google also allowed deleting posts until 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups#Deja_News

There is a lot of the internet that is missing.
>It's wrong just as slavery in the United States in the 18th and 19th century was once acceptable but wrong.

Just as? Are you kidding me? For one, animals kill and eat other animals ALL THE TIME. It's what they do.

>To disregard the pain and suffering of animal persons without regard for their interests - just because they're not human, is a form of racism. Peter Singer[1] calls it 'speciesism'.

That's just a word made up for that disregard. The invention of an ad-hoc word for it doesn't automatically make the disregard imoral or bad, much less "as bad as slavery".
I wonder why this patent has taken so long to invalidate.

> "I'm simply asking, how can the hacker scene adjust to not only help non-white non-male groups, but to stop driving them away in increasing numbers?"

How is the community driving them away? I feel like I touched on this in my original response, but I still don't see how the underrepresentation equates to being driven away. "Driving away" implies some level of hostility, which you claim only to mean "societal disadvantages." It seems in attempt to sensationalize, you end up confusing the issue because by talking about two disparate things as if they were the same.

I'm actually very surprised how accepting this community is. Not only am I black, but I came from a military background with no tech working experience, just hobby experience. Additionally, I spent two years between Iraq and Afghanistan on small teams, something this audience isn't exactly keen on. If there was anyone who would face "hostility" or be "driven away" it'd be me. I'm amazed at how welcoming the community has been. I remember after going to my first conference I told my wife (also a Marine) that I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. By the way, my wife came to the same conference with me and loved it as well. She's still a Marine, flies F/A-18's, and talked with the guys at dinner about the future of aviation, drones, etc. She thought the community was awesome despite barely being able to use her smartphone.

Sure the community may be overly critical at times, but sometimes that's the price you pay for being around bright people who value intellect. I see it as something that makes me better. Additionally, it'd be hard to find a community with bigger hearts and a greater ability (resources and skills) to make things and make things happen.

No matter who you are, if you do good work you'll fit in with this community in my experience.

P.S. By the way, I do appreciate your thoughts and I think your heart is in the right place. I just think there are more effective ways to discuss the issue. Labeling under representation as hostility seems more likely to drive a wedge between sides than improve the situation.

How did any of us get into tech? It's more about exposure and accessibility than anything, not handouts. Let's focus on that.

Measuring vs. Modeling
Dan Geer and Risk I/O Data Scientist Michael Roytman are featured in the USENIX Association’s Journal article, "Measuring vs. Modeling." Their article harks back to our long-running theme on focusing on remediating the vulnerabilities which _actually_ generate risk for your environment. Michael and Dan argue that using CVSS as a guide for remediation is not only ineffective at identifying vulnerabilities likely to be exploited, it is also a less cost-efficient way to run a security practice.

Recent research is showing animals are much more intelligent then previously assumed. Parrots reason like three year old children[1], mice feel empathy and grimace in agony[2,3], elephants grieve[4] and birds hold funerals for their dead[5].

When we harm or show an incorrect appreciation for other sentient beings, it shows not only disrespect and lack of understanding and compassion, but it diminishes human dignity.

Slavery was not expedient. It's hard to subjugate masses of people. Morality has only ever held sway to the extent it's convenient. Why is the US not a British colony? The Atlantic Ocean. The colonials got feisty, and it became more trouble than it was worth to keep them under heel.

I'm surprised this is not more readily apparent to people. Justice is a fiction. The Republican form of government has helped create stable governments, and acknowledges the inherent FORCE the govererned people can bring to bear against those in power if the government doesn't operate at least somewhat in their interest. Again, morality as popularly conceived has nothing to do with it. It has more to do with the propensity of kings to end up with their heads chopped off. It always boils down to the sword. If animals could organize and rip out faces off for eating them, society would suddenly have a great moral revelation that eating animals is wrong.

The only tangible advantage that PHP has these days is in being able to be deployed pretty much everywhere for fairly cheaply.

I mostly use Python these days, and yet I'd have to disagree strongly that easy deployment is PHP's only advantage. Outside of places like Silicon Valley it's a lot easier to find PHP programmers than Python programmers. On top of that many of the PHP programmers will be relatively cheap to hire. And you can get everything from novice developers to senior developers with a lot of experience.
To take it to the extreme, we can't know for sure that carrots don't experience suffering due to our raising them for food.

We have canines for a reason; meat is part of our evolutionary heritage. I respect the moral decision not to eat animals, and the fact that we do not raise livestock more humanely is unforgivable; but eschewing all animal proteins is extremely detrimental to one's health (the poster child being Steve Jobs in his last ten years of life).

Given that consciousness is a spectrum and not purely binary, I think the proper middle ground is to eat primarily fish (whose nervous systems are probably closer to carrots than to cows) and by-products such as eggs and cheese (from animals who are well-cared-for). If one does choose to eat red meat, it should at least come from pasture farms where the animal has a real life before it is slaughtered.
I don't understand why this whole topic needs anything said beyond, "How long any customer can stay at his table is a matter between him and the property owner."
Not sure if your argument holds.

We're essentially food too, so it'd be okay to kill and eat you.
This is a case where Power differs from x86. Before KVM, PowerVM was mandatory on Power so every OS ran in a VM and these VMs were all paravirtualized. So "unmodified" Power OSes are already PV.

"Animals all over the planet kill each other for food. It's part of life."

Agreed. But the least you can (and should) do is spare them the suffering and kill them instantly.

Animals deserve, at the very least, the right to not be put through unnecessary suffering.

They're not people, that's correct. Humans are the highly evolved species of the planet. In fact, we're so evolved that we've come to realize that taking pleasure in others' pain (animals included), just like the lack of ability to feel remorse or empathy, are potential indicators of serious mental illness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad).

It's precisely because we're more advanced that we should show some humanity (I think this is a common sense definition) and not harm sentient beings without a clear need to do so.

Or we can just treat anything and everything like expendable resources. Sounds a tad inhuman to me.

There is a difference between animals killing animals for food, and humans killing animals for food.

Animals kill other animals, only when they are hungry. They also don't raise animals in a confined, cruel environment, pump them with drugs, don't beat them, treat them like crap etc. Humans do all of these. Animals also don't waste - every inch of meat is eaten, while we liberally waste.
"Put simply; CrunchBang could be thought of as a layer built on top of Debian, specifically to provide a great Openbox experience."

http://crunchbang.org/about/

That's kinda what I expected, an out of the box OpenBox setup built on top of Debian. It does say they use packages from their repository so there must be some differences than if you did it yourself.
Because there is a purpose to killing, but the only purpose for torture in this case is the maximization of profit.
Speak for yourself, I have an NFC debit card and it's quite convenient, and has none of these problems.
Nothing is ever so black and white. I'd argue that there is a difference between killing an insect and killing a human. The difference, in my mind, is that we think an insect lacks the same capacity for experiencing pain.

Edit: In the US, a lot of how cruelty is valued is based on how alike the animal is to us. Mammals get more attention than birds, which get more attention than fish. There is a hierarchy and I think it's based on how closely the animal resembles us, a part of which is the capacity for pain and suffering.
Looks like they are following after google. Offer freemium until you have a following then axe it and squeeze em for cash. However google makes it hard to find an equivalent alternative. I don't think sugarsync has done that here.
Oh. Argument from "enjoyment".

In other words, more complete illogical bullshit.

The question remains: if eating meat is not necessary for nutrition, and it (killing animals) causes unnecessary suffering, then tell us again what argument you have other than the utter brilliance of "it tastes good"?

Maybe you could explain to us all how taking life unnecessarily somehow does not equal suffering in your little snowflake dream world. Maybe you could explain to us all why adults (top of the food chain, eh ominivore?) shouldn't eat children if they meet your gourmet taste test, eh sport?

Explain to us all again how taking life unnecessarily is "responsible". I'm not aware of any legitimate ethical codes that would align with that particular thinking, but perhaps yours is special.
Sounds like a great idea, especially for all the companies that are thinking about building their own cloud. I suspect building is their highest cost, and if by plugging AeroFS in that could be eliminated, that sounds like just the right way to go!

I am curious, what other sales mechanisms and/or software packages have you tried before you settled on private cloud w/out touching your servers idea?

This may be counter-futuristic, but what if you sold them servers, along with your software? What if you gave your clients the best in classes storage, coupled with the best way to manage it? I suspect you've thought about it before and I want to know what the reaction was like.

Enterprise clients are a black box for me, so anything else you share would be interesting to know.
