Cool article. I've also read that they used parts from ordinary household microwaves to create fake targets for the US anti-radiation missiles.

Something that's sorely lacking from the article is any information on US long-term strategy. Did the US air force use the full range of jamming and deception technology at their disposl, or were they content to lose a few planes to keep their true capabilities secret?

As an ex RAAF radar engineer, I'd say you're around about 180 degrees out of phase. There is always money available for security measures such as crypto etc - it's installed in all US aircraft(and indeed in nearly all of their allies' aircraft), and if it wasn't being used, it would be because people couldn't get their act together to keep keys synchronised and other bothersome administrative details. It would indicate a lack of discipline, particularly in the 'middle-management' level (around about Colonel level), not a lack of money.

That said, I'm personally dubious about this story being true - it reads more like a Serbian trying to explain how clever he was against the dumb Americans, even though his country got its butt kicked. Certainly for the AWACS guys, comms security is their bread-and-butter, so I'd be really surprised to learn that they stuffed it up so badly...
The problem is that Apple has decided that people might get confused that they are sending SMS', when in fact they are not. And they are right, some people will get confused, it doesn't take much for people to get confused. And people generealy use visual clues, so if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, and accepts input like a duck, it is a duck.
no 'delete' option. I can right-click into 'properties' and delete the name of the bookmark and the web address, but then I still have 6 empty bookmarks I can't get rid of. This sucks. I'd pay a buck for each.

I keep my cell phone next to my ear when I go to sleep. It is set to send out a piercing whistle I get an email from a particular address, which indicates that my website has been unavailable for 15 minutes. That whistle has gone off exactly once.

You know who got blasted out of sleep at 3 AM because my email was down? I don't know, but it sure as heck wasn't me.

I very strongly suspect that these were not American planes at all, but rather those of certain other NATO countries. Indeed, Zoltan, as quoted, seems to continually conflate the terms "NATO" and "American".

There was a lot of grumbling among the USAF back then about certain countries not encrypting their communications. Greece was one of these, although I don't think they participated in the war (they were big fans of Milosevic and welcomed him and his wife with huge gatherings at the Thessaloniki airport). Since Zoltan was not a native speaker of English, I doubt he could distinguish the accents of pilots from differnet countries, particularly as educated people in many NATO countries speak excellent English.

What sticks out in my mind most is how happy Zoltan and his buddies are to celebrate defending the mass murders and rapes of Milosevic's Serbian Socialist Party. And with a cake in the shape of a plane.

I wonder what flavor of frosting they use.
(I was offline for a few days, but want to reply anyway.) My partner and I were just discussing this the other day: write a high-level debugger that, given a piece of object-code that went wrong, points to the high-level code that generated it. There are a lot of interesting tools one could build in this space. For example, a Slime-style REPL that provides Firebug-like access to JS in the browser, but via Parenscript forms, would be a really nice addition. As for your debugger suggestion, I would love to have such a thing. But first, I'd settle for having such a thing in the Lisp environment alone - it's my biggest pet peeve about CL that the debugger situation is so bad.
Yes, it's like a DRM that ensures that you can always copy, edit, remix, and share the files that it protects.

So maybe that's not a great analogy.
<article> has a major difference from <div> -- it resets the heading heirarchy.

Why are you calling these people "Ubuntards"? I don't know about Digg or Lifehacker but the vast majority of Linux people on Reddit despise Ubuntu and use Arch instead.

By the way, I think I've omitted something from the discussion until now that may help you understand why the GPL was perceived as the right license at the right time for Netatalk.

The initial influx of developers after Netatalk's long moribund state was mostly caused by community discussion of the CNID issue. As users' hard drive sizes increased, more files were stored which increased the likelihood of triggering the bug which resulted in data loss. So more and more people hit the mailing list, wondering what was going on, what was going to be done about it, and were very anxious because not only was it a data loss bug, but a silent data loss bug. Even if users kept backups, they wouldn't know to use them unless they happened to notice a file was gone. This made Netatalk feel like a ticking time bomb. As the conversation's pace quickened, it attracted a handful of new developers who had a stake in Netatalk's success.

As users compared notes and the new devs ran tests, they learned, as mentioned before, that some storage vendors had been aware of and resolved the issue in their products, but refused to share the fixes. Users who had lost files became angry. Why? The feeling was that these vendors had benefited from Netatalk for a long time, and now when the community needed help, the vendors were turning their backs on them.

I think anger was an understandable reaction. After all, we're not talking about users missing out on some whiz-bang feature. If a cool new feature on your iPod is steak, then data integrity in a fileserver is water -- you can't live without it. Users were dying of thirst while the storage vendors were chasing them away from their freshwater wells. And so the community reacted, and decided that instead of hoping for the goodwill of others, a different license would be used to guarantee it.

So, yes, a group of BSD-lovin' devs could have written the code, and we might be where we are today. But the community felt it had been taken advantage of under the liberal license, and reacted to prevent a repeat.

In hindsight, the LGPL might've been a better license for libatalk by encouraging corporate use and development, but I'm not sure, and I don't know if that would've mollified the fans of liberal licenses anyway -- not that that latter point actually matters.
Marvin Minsky on health and the human mind (TED 2003)
That's a good point. I learned all my web development skills by looking at other people's code. If they were using tags that weren't actually "real" HTML tags, but just ones they made up and defined with CSS, it would have been a hell of a lot harder to get to where I am today.
Oh, I'd say when measured by capacity. I had the opportuniy several times to watch them in action - their toys are impressive - here are a couple of examples:

1) US F-16s up against Australian F-18s. In principle it should be a relatively level battle, but there's an important difference between the two aircraft - the F-16s are carrying AMRAAMs, whilst the Aussies had AIM9 Sidewinders. The AMRAAMS had standoff range - the F-16s could literally fire, and then turn tail and run, without ever entering the Australian missile range. The only successful way to engage them was to take them in a pincer movement, but that meant splitting your forces, they'd just turn and engage one group, which was now at half strength, and overwhelm with firepower...

2) Again, Oz vs US, the Aussies defending a site from attack. The radar was tracking the US aircraft coming in until they were about 200km away, at which point instead of just one flight of aircraft on the radar screen, we suddenly had three flights, each one performing seperate manoeuvres. They weren't just jamming the signal, they were generating alternative signals in real time, and basically feeding our antenna a pack of lies. We had to call in support from our over the horizon radar, just to figure out which was the real attack group... Of course, by the time that was done, they were already inside the defensive perimeter, so it was game over...

The point to all of this being that when the USAF is on the ball, it is an unstoppable machine. From ECM, to stealth to missile tech, to surveillance, they are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world. Their aircraft can act pretty much with impunity wherever they want in the world, whenever they want. Their only error is thinking that Air Supremecy automatically translates to political victory on the ground...
Unfortunately the SATA backplanes are only aligned one way, so they could only rotate a set of 5 drives at once.
We've been trying to build a better radio system (JTRS) for over a decade. It's over budget, behind schedule, scaled back, and still not ready. At the current rate, the radios are going to cost over $30,000/each.

I blame the Object Management Group (the good people who brought you CORBA) for being given too much influence in designing the architecture ;-) Although, I guess I can't complain too much since I am defense contractor (I'm hoping to build them a fancy compiler with some neat AI/heuristic static analysis goodness baked right in :-D).
"Almost anyone could read the C# code, provided they know that => means lambda and at least heard of a closure. That is not true of the Common Lisp version."

Aha. WTF? Ok, if I know what the code means, than I can read it. But that's only the case for C# and not for Common Lisp.
Meh, I don't see the problem with "div soup". The only thing I agree with that's mentioned in the article is that at least you could tell where a specific tag started and ended. But whenever I nest div's more than a few levels deep, I always leave comments in my code for the closing tags to state what specific id/class they are closing. Is that really so hard? No, it's not.

Also, as others have mentioned, having made-up tags littered throughout a site's HTML would lead to two problems:

- For people learning HTML, you'd have no idea what tags are real and which are make-believe

- It would be hard to update the HTML standard in the future without breaking a bunch of sites

Both of those are serious problems from my POV.
In sysadmin terms, they have aimed for data integrity over availability.

If a system goes down and they have to replace a disk or a power supply or motherboard, the data is still safe, and if by chance there's any $5/month users who need to restore data held on that one unit, well they can wait a few hours :-)
I guess this means that we only need 60 billion cameras in the UK to prevent all crime (assuming every citizen is a criminal, which seems pretty close to the government approach).
I have 2 apps on AMarket right now, making far to less money to live from them. Only solution is to work as a consultant for bigger players.

But still the same model is on App Store, my friend who is independent do the same.

Nice thing about Android is that casual users won't even know they are using Android, when smartphones will become standard. And slowly they are becoming.

From my perspective, AMarket when GOOG will finally make it usable (2.0 in month) may become really profitable. 3 mln users right now.

Also new handhelds look really promising, and if Motorola treats Android as their last resort, well I, as a small fish need to follow bigger players behaviour.
Was using Opera. Tried in Firefox too. Neither worked. If the hyperlinks were actually hyperlinks, then it'd work.
Your analysis makes a lot of sense. But do NATO air forces other than the USAF have AWACS aircraft?

I am not taking sides here, but do note that a soldier does what he is told. As far as I know, Zoltan did not murder any civilians. He was simply defending his country against an act of aggression. Given the atrocities committed by the Serbs, the aggression initiated by NATO may or may not have been justified. I will abstain from moral issues here.

Last but not least: do note that Zoltan is of Hungarian (not Serbian) ethnicity, and Hungarians are not Slavs. I doubt he was ideologically aligned with Milosevic.

You're right, but his has a more memorable take-home: "We're trying to make our life into a fairy tale."

For convincing reason X, we create drama and problems for ourselves unnecessarily. We shouldn't do that. It's silly and childish. The truthfulness of reason X is irrelevant for the truthfulness of his primary point. I smile at his disingenuousness, and take home his message. I don't think he's actually trying to fool anyone - it's just a way of making a point.

Personally, I like demanding tasks, because then people on the team have less time for politics. United against a common enemy/for a common purpose and all that.
Google has had a store for a long time. As far as I can tell it was at one time the only way they were making money - before AdWords and the Google Appliance were invented.
Okay, that's fine. And yes, he might be. My take on it was the following narrative:

"hey, ALA reader #21223, there's no Drupal modules that use HTML5 features."

(hand on cheek) "oh crap, I overcommitted!"

"you certainly did. that'll teach you to read oreilly's blog. wait until that module gets written, or write your own."

(reinserting finger into nose) "phew, now I can return to complacency."
Fast 120mm fans can move a pretty decent amount of air - up to 120 ft^3/min each, and they used three in parallel.

It would take about a dozen 80mm normal-speed computer fans to reach this.
“The food is terrible—and such small portions!”

You can't seriously argue both that the GPL is too onerous and too easy to circumvent.

The GPL rubs many developers and proprietary software houses up the wrong way as it takes away their power over their customers. This is illustrated nicely by this very article with Apple wanting to include compiler stuff in their software without putting it all under the GPL and how Google had no issue with the GPL as it didn't interfere with their business model even though their unique selling point is software based, just server based software. Similar applies to the 99% of businesses that use software, and even create it, but don't need to sell it.
I didn't know Google Checkout was available in Australia now.

Placebo Effects of Marketing Actions: Consumers May Get What They Pay For [pdf]
Things that are not possible should be asserted to be so. Leaving an assumption in the mind of the programmer only is dangerous and almost worthless. Any assumption reasonably expressible in code should be expressed in code. This goes beyond null checks, it counts for any state.

For instance, in a tool that uses graphs as data structures, some transformations might impose that your graph at input and output is acyclic. Don't put this in comments, assert it in code!

The exception is an exception in the strictest sense: something that should not happen. I consider IllegalArgumentException to be an exception you should never catch (except in unit tests, perhaps), but instead fix the root cause. Unlike IOException for instance.
there are THOUSANDS of site offering this product. Do you research your ideas before you post them? :) Still, there could be a search site just for all the checklist sites... (!)
I could imagine that this could mask bugs actually. Recently a project I work on started deadlocking. This meant randomly a single request thread would spin endlessly.

Now imagine we had a magic "start more servers" mode. We push new builds once a month, say. We'd just keep spinning up servers automatically without anyone noticing probably. Soon we'd hit some other system bottleneck (I'd bet something like too much DB traffic), and then we'd be off on a wild goose chase wondering what was wrong with the database or something.

(These are semi-hypothetical. As a team we discussed whether we wanted to have our monitoring processes spin up new frontends and decided that we should probably keep humans in the loop ;))
Links are not mere links when they need to perform certain programmatic side-effects, so having them be just regular links wouldn't work.

I am interested in the bug you are experiencing. Could you email me at support@hlcam.com with a more detailed description?
can anyone confirm this comment with some data, or just anecdotally? I am an arch user, but don't use reddit, and this claim sort of worries me.

What's your expected turnover and profit in year 1? Year 2? Year 3?

What is the probability of failure?

The following is really, really rough, so feel free to argue with it, but here's some thinking.

Suppose a VC expects, on average, to double their money over three years. Suppose you have a 10% chance of $2M profit over three years, a 60% chance of $100K profit over three years, a 20% chance of breaking even over three years, and a 10% chance of losing everything.

Your expected profit over three years is around $200K to $250K. That's twice what they invested, so they want 100% equity.

Now tell me where that's wrong.
Although the article doesn't give any information about Zoltan's ideology, I imagine him as a black hat hacker type, motivated more by the sheer challenge of it than anything else.

Considering how little his actions mattered in the overall outcome, I can't help but think that he and his team simply relished the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to match their wits against the world's most advanced air force.

I adore Merlin, but you'd have to be pretty epically stupid to upgrade all 5 of your computers on day zero of the release before realizing that your shit's broken. While you're supposed to be writing a productivity book. When you knew that the release has no new features that affect you.

I guess someone has to lead the troll brigade (deserved or not) for every major release of every major platform.
Lispers had this for ages too; CL-WHO lets me define my own tags and define what to translate them to, divs or spans or whatever.

Really, if I shot down a world-feared plane with a 40 year old equipment, I would be celebrating as well. Don't see any connection to the political regime there. As TriinT said - I don't think anyone else actually had a F117 to bring to the fight.

Also, stories about Milosevic's regime are wildly over-shot by the western propaganda.
