"Antti Saarnio, chairman and co-founder of Jolla, told the BBC in May that MeeGo -- now called Sailfish -- had not been given enough chance to succeed."
While you could probably figure this out yourself by Googling my username instead of making a needlessly snarky comment, a company I previously worked for started yet another open source video editor, but eventually gave up due to the stability of the open source libraries it relied on.
On a bigger topic, this is the kind of software that would really benefit from having far more contributors.
There's dozens of open source video editors out there. For some reason the open source community values the quantity of choices over the quality of any one of them.
The Bart-SFO extension was a matter of politics, you can't blame the people who run Bart for that. You also can't blame the initial designers for not building the OAK extension, since OAK was a much smaller airport in those days (and had very few passenger flights.)
The train design was done by an aerospace company with absolutely no rail experience, which explains Bart's quirky design elements. But you can't blame Bart current management for construction contracts awarded in the 1960's.
One of the problems with that is that sometimes your real IP can leak out. For example, if you visit a page that installs the FBI's CIPAV malware, it will bypass Tor and report the real IP. If all traffic is routed through Tor by another device, this won't work.
There's a much easier way to to leak your IP over Tor -- use UDP. Or anything other than TCP, for that matter.
Funny that the people he duped to obtain some of the information are being relieved of their jobs (though not their lives, presumably), but the people participating in the overreach won't suffer any consequences.
The real question is how many other times these same NSA morons were duped by our country's actual enemies. Only a fool would believe Snowden was the first to come across all of this information.
Sometimes it's useful to look something up online, test a formula, or download notes so you can understand the material better and ask informed questions.
Regardless, it's less distracting if everyone's wifi just works (TM) than for students to be spending more time messing with their wifi configuration than listening to the lecture.
Programming them to recognize that stabbing someone is wrong is no different than programming them to claim stabbing is right. Simply change a 0 to a 1.
Given some of the atrocities in the news recently, I'm pretty sure that concern applies to us wet goo bag robots as well. But it's much easier to address systemic problems with a metal machine than an organic one.
You're right, it's called "flags" in the IMAP RFCs. But it's the same idea; there's a few flags that are official (the "seen" flag, for example, always indicates that the message was read) but users are free to create their own.
But no existing clients at the time Gmail came out were capable of dealing with messages that were in multiple folders, nor were they designed to deal with conversations that spanned multiple folders.
Since many existing clients had to be rewritten to support Gmail, it would have been better in the long run if Google hadn't tried to shoehorn their new email system to fit a legacy protocol.
It's alarming how there's a certain group of people who are scared of the "danger" of radiation from mobile phones, when in fact mobile phones can save lives -- 911 calls, emergency alerts, and now apps that may help folks out of an avalanche.
For now the focus needn't be on which apps are best for various purposes, but on providing cellular service globally, anti-radiation crackpots be damned.
Whatever shows up (significantly) on the hiring boards.
That's a double-edged sword. While it indicates that the framework is heavily used, it could also indicate serious problems with the framework that require excessive amounts of manpower to maintain it.
Adding something to an open standard is "selling out"? WTF? Calm down and get a sense of perspective before posting these stories, or at least do a little research and see what you're talking about. The world is not ending. Nobody is forcing you to use DRM on your website.
It's crap like this that makes me wonder why anyone still reads this site.
While Carly deserves her share of the blame for the fall of HP, let's not forget that it was her successor, Lew Platt, who split HP into two companies. Prior to that split, HP was more like Samsung and less like, say, Dell.
Remember, Ulbricht was living in a shared apartment and working out of a library. If his defense is that he's not the guy running Silk Road, it would be suspicious for a man in his situation to suddenly have an expensive defense team.

Antti's brother, Prro Saarnio, disagreed.
Remember your home ec class? One of the lessons was to use a shopping list -- and stick to it -- in order to avoid impulse buys.
Well an online shopping cart is, for all intents and purposes, a shopping list. Looks like your home ec teacher was right all along.

Switch to Google Voice. Aside from the call screening feature, it also automatically spam-filters your calls much like Gmail.
Initially I read that as "3DO had a slow start too," which is also true.

"The company" in this case was San Francisco city hall. Local governments aren't exactly known for their IT prowess.
That's what I thought until I got into Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Everything looked yellow for a week.
Previous versions of Windows have had DPI settings. Why is this problem new in Windows 8.1?

I'd love to see a blind person try to use touch screen phone.
A better question is why Google is using IMAP folders as labels instead of using IMAP labels as labels.

Even if the kids won't get a lesson in computer science, they'll get a lesson in what happens when software development is rushed.
Hint: an innovative American transportation company is mentioned in the first few words of the summary.

According to Wired he's using a public defender.
