I wish ICANN would finally give us some real "reserved" internal TLDs, but we do have a few we can work with: RFC 2606 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rf...
test, example, invalid, localhost "gTLD Applicant Guidebook", Section 2.2.1.2.1 "Reserved Names" http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/a...
afrinic, iana-servers, nro, alac, icann,
rfc-editor, apnic, iesg, ripe, arin, ietf,
root-servers, aso, internic, rssac, ccnso,
invalid, ssac, example*, irtf, test*, gac,
istf, tld, gnso, lacnic, whois, gtld-servers,
local, www, iab, localhost, iana, nic
Most of those aren't really suitable for internal network names except perhaps "tld" and "local" but we can't use "local" because of multicast dns... but that RFC does reference some other names we're PROBABLY safe to use: RFC 6762 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc...
intranet, internal, private, corp, home, lan
It'd be great if we could just get the alternate example domains from RFC 6762 explicitly reserved.
The input[type=file] field in mobile browsers allows upload from the camera, and you can put: accept="image/*;capture=camera" or accept="image/*" or capture="camera" depending on your needs.
You can also style that field on mobile fairly easily (on desktops it's a lot hairier because of the usual suspect: IE).
I've been living the last few years of doing and believing the exact opposite of anything Krugman says and it's served me very well. Never before has there been someone as consistently wrong on every subject as that guy... Yet this time, he gets something right?
TPM is hated by Slashdot because the mobo manufacturers have a dirty habit of preloading the Microsoft keys and not allowing you any way to remove the Microsoft keys or use your own, effectively making it useless for any real security purpose (beyond vendor lock-in to Microsoft).
In fact, the ARM Windows RT tablets were required by Microsoft to force Microsoft's TPM SecureBoot keys only.
Microsoft's dirty tactics and motherboard manufacturers with their head in their ass are the reason TPM is shunned.
So upstart has some things that need to be fixed (mostly the clean shutdown thing)... Systemd is a monster that gets to infect more of you packages over time, plus you get the benefit of binary log files!
I hope they choose upstart and just fix it up a bit.
OpenRC has been proposed by some too, which seems like a nice sysvinit replacement, but event driven startup and shutdown of services (think laptops and hotswap stuff) is more important than just a fast startup time.
Rather than making them all point at 127.0.0.1, I like just killing their dns lookup when using dnsmasq (this only looks in/etc/hosts for the dns entry instead of a 127.0.0.1 response)...
For homes, I think in-ground mag-lev flywheels would be a lot better solution than trying to generate and store hydrogen reliably. Something like this: http://www.power-thru.com/
What would really happen: Small development company sued over and over by large company who wants to prevent them from competing with ridiculously broad software patents until small company goes out of business. Large competitor has 10's of thousands of dubious patents...

In Chrome, Firefox, and all Android browsers, just enable "click to play" for all plugins, instantly 99.9% of your vulnerabilities are gone. Bonuses: no flashing ads, fewer CPU or RAM chugging browser tabs, no random audio ads, better battery life.
On the few sites where you want it on by default (youtube for example) it's just a two click "enable permanently" whitelist.
WHY isn't this the default on all browsers by now?
To be fair the Delta Clipper DC-X accomplished a lot... It was about 40ft tall (compared to the Grasshopper's 109ft I think). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv9n9Casp1o
They're especially annoying when you're on a tablet or lower resolution device and the close button is off the side where you can't scroll to it because of the stupid absolute / fixed positioning.
Current iPhones don't have 4G yet either. In June when Apple announces the next "magical" phone with 4G, it can have hardware WebM decoding if they want... most of the fanbois will upgrade right away.
Sounds like a decent method, but even a 25% success rate in automated spam postings would be a success for the spammers. Doesn't even hurt them if you go to 9 or 10 images.
Unfortunately for limited resources like radio frequencies or wires underground or hung above a road, there's not any alternatives to "regulated monopolies" except for government constructed and maintained shared infrastructure which brings about its own set of problems (worse or better?)....
There's not a perfect solution yet... maybe someday something like subspace communications, UWB or the (impossible) quantum entanglement communication will allow a true competitive environment for communication.
Electricity, gas lines, sewer, and water all have the same limitations. (Unless you can construct an off-the-grid building).
It does sound like an inside job... but I suppose they do need to implement a solution now.
Since the SIM cards themselves are pretty cheap, they're not making money off the raw materials or anything.... just do the following:
1. Work with the cell phone company to lock the SIMs to only dial a list of phone numbers, everything else fails and notifies someone. 2. Super glue the SIM cards in the slot or encase the local area around them in some kind of epoxy or acrylic... SIM cards shouldn't need to be replaced or fail before the electronics.
This is what I did... The hardware is great, but I wish the screen was a good IPS instead of an average TN...
I fully recommend using the XDA "fixed" versions of the interface, the one from Viewsonic is slow as molasses and basically tries to make your Tegra based tablet into a glorified picture frame....
This solution is not for someone who wants a perfect working tablet now... For that, the Samsung Tab is probably the best available (assuming you didn't get an order in for the first production run of the Notion Ink Adam).
I bought it because I consider it a "preview" of the hardware of all the "to be launched" tablets... I really wish Viewsonic had just gave us stock Android 2.2 instead of crapping all over it with a custom awful GUI though.
I completely expect to be able to run Honeycomb on it once it's released through a XDA version of the ROM from another Tegra tablet... I doubt Viewsonic will ever make the GUI as good as it should be.
An error?
You click "play MP3" and it says "hey, your retarded country's laws have prevented this file from playing out of the box with free software; if you want to play MP3s, you just have to click this button for us to work around the stupid patenting ideas concept legally" and then wow, it works. Seems like the only possible legal solution to me, not an error.

Well, not really. Wasn't there an episode of one of the newer Star Trek series where one of the cast of the original series had been stuck in a transporter beam for a few decades? Why would you age, physically, when you've been digitized?
Scotty was already an older man when he got stuck in the transporter, he would've been much too old to survive if he'd aged any while in suspension.
Oh boy, my geek is showing.

They're especially annoying when you're on a tablet or lower resolution device and the close button is off the side where you can't scroll to it because of the stupid absolute / fixed positioning.
Maybe a startup test would work, but dunno how consistent that would be... if you tested more often, you'd impact performance badly.
