This is something I am worried about. Politicians are considering security flaws as weapons in their cyber wars. Are we going to see more things like the RSA encyption export ban for exploits? I can see such laws getting really bad really fast.
Will I be able to work with foreign coders to fix bugs, or do I need to report them all to the government? Will I be seen as a terrorist for submitting a pull request for a security feature?
This is absolutely true. It is one of the weaknesses with using a server to communicate. You can encrypt your messages, but the server still knows who you are talking to and approximately how much data you are sending.
It might be a good idea to look into I2P-Messenger to send secure messages. It keeps the message encrypted until the end point. The other traffic through I2P makes it harder to monitor length of the message and who its going to.
This is the problem with closed source. You don't know what your software is doing, and its difficult to figure out. Just in case you weren't already certain that they were monitoring your communications through Skype, they are.
Skype is not a secure communications channel. If this bothers you, use irc over i2p.
This is something that should be fixed lower down. Phones need to be easy to upgrade to the newest version. Having a band-aid that has root privileges is a bad idea, especially when your phone doesn't have the battery to keep scanning 24/7.
There is not really a lot of profit in bringing raw materials back down to Earth, considering the costs.
What I think you guys are missing is how awesome it would be to smelt metals in space and then 3d print them into spacecraft that is already in orbit. Its far more efficient than launching that full weight. The cost of those spacecraft (already launched) would be worth their weight in gold.
Whatever components you could not build in space could be sent up in cargo rockets, with much less weight than the whole thing together. The power to melt the metal could be generated from atomic batteries and solar panels. The material would be more brittle than our current metal, but satellites can be more brittle if they are already in space than if they have to survive the acceleration of a rocket launch. Reduced weight also means fuel savings for long distance travels.
NodeJS is pretty efficient. If you are just looking to try it, download the source from github and "./configure; make install;" that on an ubuntu server VM.
Or, if your lazy:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Yeah, we can get a new macbook for a euro now a days. It kinda sucks because everything costs 1 eurocent, which is a little over 13 USD. You pretty much have to buy in bulk.
$1500 is to expensive for me. I'm going to order the occulus rift devkit for $300, a webcam for < $50, and a roll of duct tape from my garage. I can pipe the webcam video into a corner of the rift and use a lot more space for watching things. You also will look more bad-ass walking down the street with a full face enclosure.

Wait, you mean us web developers get to arbitrarily write laws with real consequences? "For everytime you breath after visiting our site you are legally required to send me 1 US dollar." Then I send that link to my Congressmen and watch as the money rolls in.
It sucks to have a service you use canceled, but if any of those cancelled services were being done by independent people rather than Google, they would have gone bankrupt from making no profit before those 4 years were up. Google just got your hopes up and kept them up longer than others.
This is actually a pretty good move for China. China can't trust all the signed binaries from Microsoft , especially after the Microsoft certificates were used to sign the flame malware. With all the cyber-saber-rattling in Washington, its possible they could do the same thing to China with a Chinese Language patch. This way at lest you can compile the source yourself and check for weird additions.
In exchange for this, Ubuntu should become a lot more popular in a country that is currently producing the most volume of Unix systems. For us Linux users, it means that more drivers will be available before release, and they will continue to manufacture motherboards that don't require us to secure boot into Windows 8. I just hope any espionage China uses on its own people doesn't get committed back into the Ubuntu repo.

How will this affect my business proposal of adding paid autocomplete suggestions?
You type:

And it autofills with:

They need to get it working one browser first. They chose Firefox. Its not my preference of Chromium or your preference of IE6, but its a start.
Was i the only one who thought for a second that this was about a raspberry pi cluster?
At Yahoo, a company with legacy code dating back to 1995, I think you can guess.
So, an article with no technical details? Cool. What are they doing thats so new?
A while ago I noticed their name on the bottom of this : http://www.playframework.com/

So, where is the link to the github page where we can view the source?
XCode runs on Linux, if you install virtualbox and install a hackintosh image. That doesn't mean that its a good or even pleasant idea.

We will need to use bytebeats to get a song in that limit.
Wait, you can still charge subscription fees for your app's service.
"may not "serve or include any advertisements" and they "may not charge" users to download apps for the device."
"not permitted to sell users' personal and private information for the fulfillment of advertising needs. "
I'm confused. So its a hobbyist only device?
'Patriot Day' was also the name of the memorial day to 9/11.
From orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

How about another question, do enemy hackers have the right to kill a nations citizens? I think the answer to that question will be the same.
