I've now read that: "No versions of OS X or OS X Server are affected by the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug, because the last version of OpenSSL shipped by Apple in an OS was 0.9.8y, which is a branch not affected by this bug. So unless you've installed OpenSSL via MacPorts or Homebrew, your public-facing OS X servers/services should be immune to this bug." What say the wise ones here?
Incorrect. Or, rather, been shown to be false by the evidence. And it was such a damn elegant model, too.
Bravo to the team of researchers who've been working a decade on this satellite and these observations. I believe Neil and another scientist had a small bet about this, so he's also out of pocket a few dollars. Now we just have to hypothesise new ideas that will eliminate the many kludgy math bits out of Big Bang model.
This news, and 120 more BlackBerry jobs lost today, means a sad day here in Waterloo (at the Perimeter Institute).
Only literalist Christians who have no understanding of language at all and can't think for themselves (err, that would be all of the previously mentioned folks) misinterpret what the Bible actually says to claim the 6,000 year thing. The majority of people who call themselves Christian (followers of that hip and mythological dude, Jesus, whose own father concerns himself more with football apparently, than starving kids in Africa) do not think the Earth is only 6,000 years old.
The Hebrew word for "begat" (yalad) does not mean "son of". It's correct translation means "to bring forth" but in no way implies a father-child relationship. Compare Genesis 11:12, a verse that literalists take to mean that Arphaxad was the father of Salah, with Hebrews 7:9-10 in which begat clearly does not mean this since Levi isn't alive until 150 years after his "father". Begat indicates the first person was the originator of a (long) line of folks ending with the second person.
Bill Gates should use some of that clout of his to actually so some good re: condoms.
First, get on the phone and blast that mysogynistic virgin running the Catholic Church and make him promote condom use, especially in Africa. Then get US teens some proper, frank, honest and mandatory sex ed classes with all the gory details so that you combat the US having the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the industrialized world, according the the Center for Disease Control, who notes that 30% of women below age 20 get pregnant in the US. If those happen, then he can claim to be doing some good re: sex and condoms.
Regardless of CBS' political leanings, you'd have thought that the idea of CBS using John Miller, an ex-employee of the director of National Intelligence, and someone touted to be in the running for a top NYPD intelligence job, to be the interviewer would have stunk to high heaven. There was no criticism, no pushback and no attempt to suggest that the NSA has been doing anything wrong. Holy crickey... did the NSA simply script this and hand it to CBS?
Except god (Leviticus 19:28) DOES take offence if you do tattoo them on your forehead. So don't.;-)
And don't get some stupid tattoo talking about men sleeping with men if you can't bother reading just a few more passages into Leviticus.
Which of the two sets of "not quite the same" 10 commandments are you referring to? The first set, which Moses supposedly smashed in a hissy fit (Exodus 20), or the second set, which actually are different than the first (Exodus 34)? And are you reading the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish version of them—again, different? Just to get my bearings, here.;-)
We're up in Waterloo, Ontario. Watched the launch go on NASA live and knew I had about two minutes. Got the kids out the back patio and facing SE up into the clear night sky. Our backyard faces due south and the moon was just out of sight behind the corner of the neighbours house to my left (looking south). About T+120 seconds saw the orange exhaust glow for about 20 seconds before it faded out. A bit "ripply" due to the amount of atmosphere and angle. Not especially bright, about 50% of the magnitude of Venus this evening (earlier). Only got about 15 degree above the horizon, just about 5 degrees above the house to the SE of us. Cool. Saw a launch from Vandenburg (?) more than a decade ago from Arizona and it was much more spectacular. But any excuse to teach the kids and show them a rocket launch shouldn't be missed.
Except... income (including disposable) for the average American hasn't increased since the late 1960s. You have less real-world buying power now than your parents had five decades ago. While productivity has increased, your wages haven't. If the median household income had kept pace with the economy since 1970, it would now be nearly $92,000, not $50,000. (The 1% have seen their real-world income increase 240% in the same time, though.) Since 1990 the real value of minimum wage is up 21%... but cost of living in that same time is up 67%. So while your basic premise may seem sound, the data about disposable income being the cause seems to falsify that theory.
I was under the impression, and had read reports in the last few days, that said Fairfax's offer wasn't going to happen at $9 because they were unable to get that much cash together for the deal? I think some are suggesting they are about $1B short and that $7/share was more realistic for them. That was why other players are now starting to seriously think about offers now, including Google and MS again? Or am I simply mistaken, and am having yet another one of my "old" moments?
If it's only been actually cheating while serving your team, like Bonds, McQuire, Rodriguez or the other cheats, then you could be in. But gambling? No HoF for you.
Fixed that for ya. Doesn't matter whether intolerance and the desire for absolute control over morality and ethics emanates from Saudi Arabia, Rome, an Anglican pulpit or some intolerant, fundamentalist bigot in the southern US of A.
Belief in mean, paternalistic sky fairies and an intense wave of misogyny is the problem, here. In other words, believe whatever you like, and practice whatever superstition you choose. But the minute you try to impose that belief on any another human being without allowing them the ability to critically question your assumptions, you're in the serious wrong and need to be bitch slapped back to sanity.
That could get me to work those kind of hours. None. Ever. I've turned down incredibly good offers (even laughed at one person who tried to convince me that it'd be great for my career and my family could come second for a few years) because there was no sense of work-life balance. Now it may be because I'm a few months away from turning 50, but I seriously have never had any clue whatsoever what drives people to even consider spending that many hours at work, even for short sprints. That sort of work is the result of nothing more than bad planning and lack of empathy for other people. I have far more important things to do than work more than the 35-40 hours I do, even if it's just weeding the lawn and dead-heading the petunias while humming Coltrane tunes to myself. No one ever died thinking "I'd wish I'd spent more time at work." Now, back to the book I was reading.

For us to sell YOU as a product. "They trust me — dumb fucks." Youthful indiscretion on Zuckerberg's part? My hairy old ass it was.

Awesome news. If we can hit the 2030 mark for a Canuck, then we'll certainly have a Timmies on the moon by 2035 or so.
"There is never a perfect time for this type of transition ..." Yes there is. Too bad it was five years ago.
...publishing executives don't seem to realize is that everything DRM'ed will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
I see what you did there ... lost "like tears in the rain". The Philip K Dick Foundation's lawyers would like a word, please.
Do let me know when the full UDK *editor* can run in OSX.
Well that took enough time, didn't it.

Reminds me of the recent Onion item ... No One Was Murdered Because Of This Image
A bright head with a trail behind it, but then the object exploded, spraying material in all directions and burned out very quickly.
That's what she said.
SeaFox, ladies and gentlemen! He's here all week.
Emphasis on was. Anything entering the atmosphere at 50 km/sec definitely belongs to the category "was". ;-)
Keep believing that humans; just keep believing that.
A new logo. That's gonna help a lot.
