.local is reserved by zeroconf, and probably will be reserved by the IETF committee on a zeroconf-like standard. One way to solve the other problem, what "pepsi" resolves to, would be to use dots somewhere: ".pepsi" is the pepsi site, "pepsi" goes through the configured search domains before assuming its a TLD (which would work well because nobody currently goes to "com").
Plus, we get rid of the "www". Pepsi now says its website is "dot-pepsi". I could get used to that, genericised over all possible TLDs: My website is dot-preaction.
The computer that started my love, and now my career, was an Atari ST. I would spend hours watching demos, playing (probably pirated) video games, and experimenting with voice synthesizers, drawing, and music programs.
I think it's the content of the end of the list, 10f-h, and the specific calling-out of black people in events where any person should be considered a threat (10i). But I also think that it's very easy to go over that blurry line of what is and is not racist.
If and only if those peasants aren't fooled into believing it's better that way. Take the poor people who vote for Republican candidates that want to end entitlement programs that poor people rely on to help them in this economy. No, please, take them.
How can it not return to the water cycle? If you have too much water vapor in a given section of atmosphere, it precipitates. Isn't that what clouds and rain are? Where does the water for this hydrogen come from? Space? Did everyone forget high school science class in this thread?
AIR is another runtime for SWF files that uses their ECMAscript VM, yes. More likely it's a wrapper with some add-ons, but I digest.
Long term meaning how long? 3 years? 5? 10? 20? Even 5 years is a really really really long time in the computer industry, and if things get really bad, there's always Gnash http://gnashdev.org/ and Lightspark http://lightspark.github.com/, which are good starts that could use some more love.
With what Adobe's been doing and saying, I wouldn't expect them to completely abandon the platform within 5 years, but I can't read minds. See: PalmOS, or Adobe's recent out-of-left-field announcements that makes one wonder if a chimp is pulling the levers on the board of directors.
One could liken it to Oracle's JVM and the other not-quite-implementations. There is an end-of-the-world scenario where the project survives. It isn't pretty, but it could work. And if all else fails, be prepared to switch technologies. Which, again, in the computer industry, you should at least keep in the back of your mind. I keep my "plan for nuking the world and switching to SDL" from getting too dusty.
This. I love that if I have a friend over, we can play her Xbox Live games after downloading them to my Xbox. When she logs out, I can no longer play the game, because it's tied to her Xbox AND her account. But, if I go over to her house, I can play her games under my account without logging in (again, tied to her Xbox AND her account).
Used games, not a big deal, I just won't buy AAA-level games.
How it works explains why there is no increased security risk. At each step it is obvious what website you are on. Gawker opens a window and the URL bar in the new window starts with https://www.facebook.com/, meaning it is a facebook page, and you type in your un/pw if and only if you are not already logged-in to Facebook.
So the security risk is exactly the same as everywhere else on the Internet. Nothing has changed, except that now there's one less bad password for you to forget.
I might have accidentally made it sound like "I make 6 figures from my own business," and for that I apologize. I work full-time as a contractor, and I also work part-time building video games for http://doublecluepon.com/ (my company).
So, short answer is I support myself (and hire contractors for my company) with real jobs until such time as my company can hire me on. We have decided against investors, due to creative/control reasons (few investors want to buy in with no say in what goes on). As of now we have no revenue, just a dream, a good team, half of the code we need, and a lot of pretty art.
Advice: Learn the tax law or go sole proprietorship. Find something you're passionate about. Fail early, fail often, try again. Most people who give you advice are wrong.Make a good product and people will give you money for it. Keep your receipts. The little things count more than the big things. Figure things out for yourself. Programs are meant to serve users. All advice is worth exactly as much as you pay for it. Be prepared to lose sleep. Don't wear uncomfortable shoes. Ce n'est pas une pipe.
Gawker never gets the Facebook user/pass, only Facebook does. This is how OAuth, OpenID, and other distributed auth systems work: Gawker asks Facebook "Is this person authed?", Facebook says "No, send them here and we'll take care of this." Gawker then opens a window which redirects you to facebook, and you type in your un/pw. Then Facebook sends you back to Gawker with an authentication token (a big random number). Gawker can now use that authentication token to ask Facebook who you really are, and only that. Facebook will tell you what Gawker is asking to do with that auth token, like "Access my basic information", or "Access my friends list", or "Access my news feed", or "Post to my news feed", etc...
In 2006 I was working part-time at Wal*Mart and not making the rent. I had gone to two semesters of college, and both times had to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances compounded with no safety net (no family or friends to borrow money from, basically). I was given a chance as a Perl developer a few months later, and now make six figures and own my own business.
Of course, I had been fiddling around with Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl, HTML, and JavaScript since 1999, afraid to take the plunge and turn "something I love" into "something I do for a living." Lesson learned: Turn what you love into a living, despite what anybody says to the contrary.
During the short time I was a hiring manager, I looked for those without degrees and with good, broad technical knowledge. Not only do they underrate themselves salary-wise (which was necessary for we offered little), but they tend to know how to learn, which is the most important thing.
And corporations built with people like these are probably going to cause you grief when you have all the buzzwords but do not conform to their idea of corporate culture: You're a replaceable cog in a machine. You are an interchangeable part with a heartbeat.
If I'm ever rejected because of Google's auto-complete, I will consider it a bullet well-dodged.
I believe, in Ender's own words, he just wanted to make sure nobody bothered him. He won the fight in such a way that nobody would want to fight him. He won every possible future fight. He is the kwisatz haderach!
So you're arguing it should have been vigilante justice and that would've settled it? Sounds good! The court of public opinion has already found him guilty, now which member of that court will serve the sentence? Let's hope it's not one of the homicidal ones.
The slashdot moderation is a meritocratic method to increase the signal:noise ratio for the lowest common denominator, not to only show you the opinions you agree with. So perhaps the problem is, on the whole, people who have nothing useful to say can't bring themselves to say nothing at all. I believe this could be applied to TFA as well.
The entire Internet is just lonely voices screaming in the void.
As long as we continue to hold businesses, education, and government up to the same, short-term, impossibly-high, measuring-the-unmeasurable standards, we will near-sightedly run our entire country into the ground.
That's splitting a technical (or technological) hair. Encryption cannot be a perfect safety net with which to break the law with impunity, so I accept this court's compromise. Remember what the lower courts wanted: Your encrypted data is theirs and they will use it all to prosecute you for everything.

After all, without DARPA where would we be today?

Target AIR. Get mobile. Get desktop.
Now if only some organization would step up to partner with Adobe to continue AIR for Linux development.
