I am not saying this couldn't be true, but looking at trends in such a generalized and abstract way is very academic. You could also say that there has been a trend lately from decentralized (email, blogs) towards facebook, twitter all the other social networks. However, this insight hardly allows you to predict anything interesting.
I don't think this is entirely accurate. I am AGPL-ing a lot of new open-source software. The intention is not to poison the well, but rather to ensure that all users of the software have the same freedom to modify it, even if they are users of a modified copy. It also ensures that contributers' contributions won't become proprietary. If you send me a patch, you know that the software has to stay free forever; you can fork the project and have all the rights you did as a contributer to the original.

As for enforceability, that might be tough. The point of the license is to help keep honest people honest. If someone wants to steal your code, they are going to do it whether or not they think the license is enforceable. (Look at all the piracy of closed-source software, and all the blatant violations of the GPL. Nobody cares what the license says, they just do what they want.)
i am sorry for my poor english
what i mean is image process software

is this clear? thx for the replying

Echo server in 10-years old Tcl (more?):

socket -server acceptConnections 9999
proc acceptConnections {fd clientaddr clientport} {
fconfigure $fd -blocking 0
fileevent $fd readable [list replyToClient $fd]
}
proc replyToClient fd {
set s [read $fd]
puts -nonewline $fd $s
flush $fd
}
vwait forever

Note that this is a multiplexing non blocking server, exactly like Twisted / Tornado. All features built-in in the language. Tcl failed copying the obvious missing features from other languages. Other languages are failing copying the good things from Tcl.

p.s. note the poetry contained in the "vwait forever" statement ;) Our program is willing to run without stop until the end of the universe.

Michael Trick’s Operations Research Blog : Whither Data Mining?
Yeah, I have looked at Pinax and it looks really nice. However, my concerns are that it looks still a bit in development and that the community is still small. I would love feedback from someone who has actually used it to build something like a community site...
And 84% openly admitted copying chunks of information from the internet into their homework or projects on a number of occasions.

Why avoid using? You can only get into license trouble if you copy and paste code from a GPL'ed project. Using GPL'ed software shouldn't affect you in any way whatsoever.

A psychological addiction is defined as when you spend time doing one thing instead of doing something else that you feel is more important.

I doubt the people taking the survey (people 11 to 18 years old) knew that. Its generally problematic to use a technical definition in the interpretation of a survey of non-technical (in the relevant field) people. Likely they read "addicted to the internet" as "spend a lot of time on the internet."

It says that the youths themselves feel they should be doing something else

Maybe to a degree, but given their lack of knowledge about the definition, I wouldn't necessarily draw that conclusion. All it means to me is they are spending a lot of time on the internet.

I agree with the rest of your post though, so that might lead to the conclusion that kids are spending too much time on the internet (or the parts of the internet that aren't educational...).

"IPREDator is a network service that makes people online more anonymous using a VPN.
it costs about 5 EUR per month and we store no traffic data.
the network is under our control. not theirs.
the pirate bay likes and knows real kopimism. and waffles."

What is this service? How does it work? What is the benefit over existing services?
I don't think the "documentation sucks" can be used to model very well the issue, there is another very important thing: is it simple to use, and the base case is obvious, or is it over engineered? I think in the Twisted / Tornado issue there is some of this elements too.

A lot of libs around here are, technically speaking, well coded, reliable, fast. But the API sucks. An example is the libpng, if you have some experience with it you'll understand. When an alternative with a clean API arise it's very hard to resist.

The web designing is divided into two parts- The front end and the back end. The back-end compromises of the organization of the source code, invisible scripted functions, and the server-side components. The front end deals with the page layout, user interface, graphics, text, audio.

By this measure, if the youths are self-reporting that they feel addicted to the internet, that's very, very interesting. It says that the youths themselves feel they should be doing something else, not some old, stodgy institution.

They aren't old enough to define worthwhile ways to spend their time all by themselves. Their sense of what people are supposed to be doing with their time is going to be affected by the educational institution which has very poor sense of how to efficiently factor technology into education. So it's likely that they will be feeling a conflict, even if a properly guided use of technology would actually lead to an equal or better education.

For a parallel, imagine what things would look like if the educational establishment was dead-set on teaching oral tradition, the students were literate, but the use of written word would be pretty much dismissed in proper education in favor of recitation and rhetoric. The students would be left to their own devices with coming up uses for writing. The students would probably mostly use writing in pretty useless ways and occasionally feel guilty about not spending more time learning to recite the sagas of macroeconomic world history and the verse for basic electrodynamic theory.
Just remember MySQL - its success was about documentation (the most), community (as a result) and some PR.

"If anything, cancer resistance (which would probably mean less cell mutation ability) would be disadvantageous from an evolution standpoint because you would have less variation and consequently may have trouble adapting."

Evolution doesn't work that way. It doesn't favor mutation because mutation is "good" for evolution. You have to look at it from individual genes, and there the story is just the opposite.

Evolution happens in spite of, not because of genetic predisposition to mutation, because it's vastly more likely for a mutation to be pointless or harmful than beneficial. If you have a gene that makes mutation in the genepool overall less likely, that gene will be more successful at spreading itself, because the mutants have, on the whole, far less chance of success than the originals (which have already proven their worth in a long chain of ancestor individuals carrying them). Of course every so often a mutant gets lucky and is more successful (or at least not less successful) than the original -- this is what selection is all about -- but statistics are against them.

To elaborate your scenario: suppose the environment changed very rapidly, and adaptation in some direction were necessary to survive it. If by some stroke of luck a gene that increased the mutation rate happened to be there at that moment, defying the odds, it would find a favorable environment, but only for as long as the rapid change is required. Generalizing this: a successful genepool is one where the mutation rate is "just right" for adapting to the environment. Too much mutation and the genepool isn't stable and will eliminate itself, too little mutation and the genepool will be eliminated by the environment. In this balance, the odds are stacked in favor of avoiding mutation.

And all this is orthogonal to the discussion of how cancer (the uncontrolled reproduction of cells) is related to the capacity for mutations (infidelity in the copying process). Cancer resistance and mutation resistance are related, but by no means the same thing. To borrow a computer image: your computer has copy processes with very high fidelity (only the occasional alpha particle to spoil the fun) but this doesn't protect it against worms, which copy themselves unwantedly but with the same high fidelity. This analogy is badly flawed in obvious ways (regular programs are not designed to copy themselves, cells are), but I hope it gets the point across.
OpenVPN or pptpd paid service?
IPRED stands for "Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive". See http://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/IPRED for example.
As long as your software is "Free Software" then Stallman would use it. It doesn't need to be GPL, or even necessarily "compatible" with the GPL to be "Free Software" (a common misconception).

You (like many others in these parts) seem to be avoiding the GPL, to the detriment of your business, and for no practical or pragmatic purpose. Personally I have no time for such zealotry.
GPLv3 too.

What's wrong with that? Seems quite comprehensible to me...
I don't think the problem is other people noticing as much as thinking they're noticing. You can feel a bit weird if someone goes "beers for everyone?", everyone's agreeing and you're the one that has to go "no thanks, a coke would be nice". Or worse, just order it and put it in front of you. People do tend to assume everyone drinks beer.

(For me, that's not true. I don't mind alcohol, but I can't stand the taste of beer. I can't finish a zip of it, let alone a glass. I do sometimes have to explain that. Since I'm old enough to have a driver's license I sometimes have the nice excuse that I still need to drive. Works a bit better in that it requires less explanation.)
The original is waaay better than that.

Unfortunately, the data this piece claims proves it just doesn't work is not cited, at least not that I can find. So I am unable to examine that data or comment on it. I have seen lots of flawed studies, and even participated in them. For that reason, making a sweeping statement about what "the data" proves or disproves carries zero weight with me. Show me your data so I can decide for myself if it actually supports the conclusions you have drawn. Again: Even if the conclusions that it doesn't work in public school are correct, that doesn't necessarily say anything about how useful it is to homeschoolers.

It seems to me that amongst (white) people who play badminton, a larger proportion have blue eyes than amongst the general population.

Is there any credit to the rumour that blue-eyed individuals have better sight, indicating why there are so many blue-eyed fighter pilots etc?
Well, the way I solved a similar problem with a sales person was to send him a mail in which I made clear that I was about to contact his ex-employers to investigate, and ask questions like "I intend to follow legal channels and I was wondering if you had similar experience working with X". After all, paying for unfinished job is at least reason for a trial, and good pre-trial strategy is to look for a pattern.

Of course, you don't have to actually do this (though I was prepared to at the time), but hopefully you won't need to.

Thanks yef. While I don't agree, perhaps it's a cognitive bias of mine? I need some down cycles, or to chew on a different topic or listen to music to let my brain breathe a little. Perhaps our individual nature plays very much into our creative aspects. You, for example are at your most creative when at the grindstone pushing yourself forward. I always have my best concepts in the foggy moments after waking up in the middle of the night. Walking is like meditation for me, and gives my brain a chance to wander/explore a problem space without judgement.

Actually building something requires ritualistic dedication though. Coming up with the original inspiration, not so much.

By accessing the Web through the VPN, subscribers are able to hide their traffic data from Internet Service Providers (ISP), and bypass ISP-level censorship.

But the network isn't exactly bulletproof.

It is run by Swedish VPN company Trygghetsbolaget, which also built the once-popular Relakks service in 2006.

Unlike Relakks, IPREDator does not log its users' traffic information.

However, the services are based on the same software, including the use of 128-bit encrypted point-to-point tunnelling protocol (PPTP).

PPTP is a user-friendly VPN protocol that was first implemented on Microsoft's operating systems in 1996. Reports by security experts such as Bruce Schneier have since revealed a number of flaws in the technology, including password hashing and encryption issues.

IPREDator co-founder Peter Sunde, who also founded popular file-sharing site The Pirate Bay, told iTnews: "128-bit encrypted PPTP can probably be broken by someone that can eavesdrop on the traffic."
