I long for the day when windows guys will be relevant only for windows desktop development. But as long as Microsoft is still having a stranglehold on most comp sci degrees by offering free everything to the students I only see more and more boys coming and applying for a job as web devs believing that Microsoft products are a suitable solution....I'm sad now.
I don't understand what the big fuz is about. It's not like they wrote a AAA game engine in dart, it's just an over hyped physics approximator. The demos aren't even interactive (and one performs @5fps). For all you know (no, not really) the bytecode it loads is just a predefined animation. So what if they are trying to do it wrong? Let them go that way, as long as they don't break support for the standardized www framework, I have no problem with them wasting cycles. There are enough devs out there, with enough intellectual lucidness, that can see through the hype and understand that nacl and dart are non viable solutions. For everyone else, happy grinding fella. I'm not going to get involved with this.
You kind of have to at least acknowledge the fact that somebody could just have screwed up, it still is just "sacks of mostly water" that write those programs. That, of course, if you aren't pathologically paranoid.
the site hosting the material pulls it pending review. If it's infringing (ie, if the infringing user can't explain why it isn't) it stays down and if it isn't it's reinstated.
Which is plainly wrong (but still unmeasurably better than SOPA), since this way you are forcing the defendant to prove his innocence. The world's justice works "innocent until proven guilty"? Yeah, right....
while mainly correct, your proposition ignores the fact that in programming you have a lot of plausible deniability in form of the programming mistake. A wrongly placed comparison or wrongly compiled regexp can have huge side effects while looking like little mistypes even a good albeit tired dev would make. Now think that by implanting such a small discrepancy into a big project you could do very many things without being ever detected. Also the side effects of such a behavior are very difficult to follow in a big project making the possibilities of it being forcibly discovered ridiculous since you would have to follow every reroute into oblivion before being sure there are not deliberate side effects.
Never heard of less but it looks very very interesting, will give it a try in one of my projects. Actually I was hoping I would stumble upon something like this eventually. Writing good CSS for dynamic websites can become very cumbersome programmable elements.... (thinks of Facebook's 18MB of css...)
I get what you are meaning. CSS does have some design flaws especially when it comes to big projects that go through a couple of design evolutions without blank-sheeting the older designs. But I would hardy say that a skilled Dev would find big trouble, unless you put a gun on his head and demand solutions immediately. Css does have some advantages for: 1) small projects (because it makes styling several specific things dumb easy) 2) for very carefully designed projects that adhere to -almost- all RFCs.
The problem I get most, having done many CSS implementations, is that when an -idiot- photoshop monkey gets involved, you usually can kiss #2 goodbye... I still can't believe that the barrier to call yourself a Designer in the Internet busyness is knowing PS.
IIRC all elements are supposed to honor the text-align property of their parent (+inheritance) and a non specified div(eg:div inside a div that does not inherit text-align) is always centered.
Unfortunately all those devices are designed for the perfect living room. Still it's just gen 1, so companies and designers will probably manage to dream something up for the average living room.
That or we will just all sell our children and spouses and move into 800sqm mansions. (NOTE: might not work well with the spouse)
Slashdot Mirror
yes, right. Now they just have to wait to 2013 when a windows server will come out that won't have a GUI overhead

Not really but if they were storing salted password hashes with a sufficient algo he should be able get away with "No actual passwords were revealed"
does cryptographically scrambled mean what I think it does or does he just use the wrong description?
Nah. there were definitely explosions involved. I think they found an LDAP exploid
what was that nintendo headpiece, the blonde guy was wearing, called again?
an OS in Haskell? Count me in :-D
Anyway, if you want to share some insight on the DNS app get in touch.
There is no security excuse. Usage of software and usage of speech must remain a choice of the user, not the companies.
Why is winzip relevant in cloud storage?

BTW the UCC hasn't been updated in two years? the last contest post is from early 2010 and there is no winners anouncement.

While I don't necessarily disagree with your premise; could I interest you in one of my new security enhanced tinfoil hats?
You really shine in biology, don't you?
BTW, homepage down?
synthesizing large amounts of DNA from scratch costs ungodly amounts of money
can't you just write one DNA sequence, put it in a cell and grow it?
omg, the days of GATTACA are finally here! Now I'll never fly to mars ${sadface}
very cumbersome programmable elements....
oh... I forgot a word there
very cumbersome without programmable elements....
Never heard of less but it looks very very interesting, will give it a try in one of my projects.

Thanks for the informative reply. Do you by any chance know what the effectiveness of those groups is compared to a self funded defense?
Now we are talking!
