You use vim and need something more powerful? Learn how to use vim then... It's far more powerful than you can possibly realise.
I write in those languages too ( sans C# ) in addition to Python, C, and C+ using vim.
Right, there are some things that happen to be missing in VIM. I recently saw some "minimap" that shows the whole codefile in tiny text off to the side. I would love to have something like that in VIM. Also, just try to design a WPF application without Visual Studio.
In any case, if there do exist decent IDEs then why should I not be interested in them? I have no loyalty to any single tool, rather, I like the best tool for a job. If someone knows of a better tool then I'd like to know about it too.
It's more a story of bad security practices than brilliant exploits by 12 year olds.
That _is_ the entire story. Nobody is saying that XYZ 1337 hacker group is evil and needs to be stopped. The security community is saying that it is about time that large organizations take security seriously.
As a developer, however, I must say that your Visual Studio statement is completely without merit and will always be modded down.
As a VIM user, I find Eclipse to be only slightly more annoying than it is useful. I have similar sentiments about Netbeans, Monodevelop, Kdevelop, and all the other FOSS IDEs. Visual Studio, on the other hand, is an absolute gem (if bloated). I would love to know what IDE you use that Visual Studio does not (in the GP's words) kick it's ass. Seriously, I need a new IDE. I code mostly in Java, C#, and PHP but I'd like to know about good IDEs for any language.
When I go into a restaurant and buy a "Coke", I expect that it will BE a product of the Coca Cola company, not "Bob's Coke" or even "Coak". That position doesn't have anything to do with IP or patents or copyrights, just with fraud.
If you don't want your search results filtered by US, use Yandex or alternatively Baidu.
Let me reword that: Americans, if it is uncensored speech that you are looking for, then ditch the American service provider and use this Russian one. Or this Chinese one.
Coincidence or not, recently I received a notice from Apple informing me that they are going to replace my 1st gen iPod nano due to the battery potentially catching fire as it ages.
How did they know to get in touch with you? Is the device registered with Apple?
I agree with you. And quite the fact that the reactions are spontaneous rather than induced is the reason that the device is not a reactor: it does not induce reactions.
It would take a lot of effort and money to disturb this sleeping dog. Why go to the trouble?
Sleeping dog? You mean dead dog. The RTG was out of useful power 5 years after it was made. That was 40 years ago. The thing is now a uranium-contaminated rock that would be harder to purify than the raw materials from the ground.
...the submitter linked to the one-page printer version. The full version of TFA spreads out over six page. I went through those six pages looking for a screenshot of the software, but there were none. So if you are going to read it (I must be new here) then stick to the printer version as submitted.
Toy Story was released in 1995. Wasn't the internet age already underway at that point?
To you and me. To "regular people" the internet did not come home until after Windows XP was introduced in 2001. Don't believe me? Ask your neighbour what windows looked like / was called before XP.
Actually, both Apple and Microsoft match donations to EFF made by their employees (up to $10k per employee for Apple, and up to $12k for MS). Granted, this is nowhere near as all-inclusive as Brin's program, but if you count matching donations as "siding with", well...
Right, that's how they catch the traitors from within. Clever!
Note that the "Brin" in Brin Wojcicki is none other than Sergey Brin from Google. I think that speaks volumes, the cofounder of Google is giving half a million dollars of his personal fortune to the EFF. What other corporate entity would side with the EFF on any matter?
They can be updated, that means that facts can be redacted.
Ignoring most of your tinfoil hat aspect - that also means inaccurate information can also be updated to reflect new findings. This is generally considered a Good Thing (tm) in academia.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Who decides what is inaccurate? Might the school board of Texas decide that 4 billion years is an inaccurate measurement of the age of the Earth? Google the school board of Texas before answering in haste.
I agree with the idea. It seems a really simple start would be making them like offline websites. It's not a perfect translation, but doing richer data flow and formatting than static books is a problem web development has been working on for some time now and has a toolkit around.
The problem is that these books _wont_ be offline websites. They can be updated, that means that facts can be redacted. This is DRM with a pretty face. In fact, it is even worse than current DRM: the proponents are marketing the ability to change the facts as a feature.
And this makes their opinion of a product no more useful than the 'opinion' of a spammer. Strain them out with the same filter, please!
Yet some people cast that net wider than they should...
Many times I go for the negative comments and the positive ones. Then the middle ones. It has saved me more than a few times from a crummy purchase.
I for example like MS products. Yet I would be considered a 'shill' by many. They are actually one of the few companies out there that will fix their crap (and they have mountains of it). Yet because I tend to like their products (I think in many cases they are better than open source ones and there are many open source things that are better than MS stuff) many filter me out.
Posting as AC certainly doesn't help to not get filtered out!
(and, believe it or not, there a whole lot of easily satisfied people out there, and they simply won't be annoyed by the things that drive you fucking crazy).

Google "UN Internal Use Only" and "UN Confidential" and you will probably find at least a few documents that you shouldn't.
Right, internal use only. That is where UN IT security practices are, up their... er... for internal use only.
It's more a story of bad security practices than brilliant exploits by 12 year olds.
That _is_ the entire story. Nobody is saying that XYZ 1337 hacker group is evil and needs to be stopped. The security community is saying that it is about time that large organizations take security seriously.
So in the real world it's useless for anything except a machine that's rebooted every five minutes ...
Right, most people still do use Windows.

You picked probably the worst example that you could:

It's about halfway between C1 and C#1 on the musical frequency scale.
So, it's Java1?

6Km under the ocean is probably the safest place for it.
Putting it on the Moon would probably had been safer.
12 people have already walked on the moon. How many have walked on the ocean bottom?
I agree with you. And quite the fact that the reactions are spontaneous rather than induced is the reason that the device is not a reactor: it does not induce reactions.

The Plutonium 238 is suitable for RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator) but not for bombs.
Maybe this info will spare us most "nuke" posts (terrorist jokes, etc).
Furthermore, RTGs are not nuclear reactors as the summary states.
Furtherfurthermore, why is this news now and not 40 years ago?

The EFF is a great organisation
Where would we be without them
Donate https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/double-your-impact-take-eff-mission-challenge with dollar for dollar matching by the Brin Wojcicki Foundation until december 31st
I've sent mine in

Lemme guess, you don't have a TV either but want to tell the world regardless?
Actually, I'm the caveman without a TV. But I do have my neighbour's wifi!

Too bad that I already posted on this article. You are 100% correct.
