This led to new initiative. There wasn't money in the IT budget to hire professional software engineers. Instead, they created a program to hire computer science savvy interns to work on the project.
Screw the professionals, interns inherit the future even in White House.
I've noticed when connecting my ADSL Router in LAN the Windows is a lot lot lot slower. I mean often seconds slower than my several years older Ubuntu box. The Ubuntu box loads up the pages in Router almost instantly.
It's something in Windows, regardless of the browser it just happens. I've noticed the problem with Windows Vista and Windows 7, can't remember if the problem existed in Windows XP.
In Dropbox one can create public link to file, and it is served by Dropbox servers. From copyright standpoint of view, they are "just as infringing" by the possibility that someone shares the link like in MegaUpload.
If so, maybe they fixed it for US citizens only? Are you in US or elsewhere? After all why would they disable tracking for anyone else... There isn't legal pressure to do so.
No. What else is there? Thats right! Nothing... I'd say it's a whole lot, whole early.
Just like with Google Health, it was pioneering the idea which wasn't ripe for mass adoption yet. Idea behind Google Health is viable, it just needs more bureaucracy, help of government and time, more time.
I'd be very surprised if very many cellphones so in the USA don't have a way in for the Feds.
I'd wager that they don't have to, instead they might have a access to cellular networks. Amount of phones out there, the chances are the backdoor will be found is immense, why would they risk it that way? Direct access as middle man in cellular networks is next to impossible to proof by hobbyists and alike.
I wouldn't worry about cloud service providers at this stage when the product doesn't even exist. Taken the fact how sucky the existing commercial office suites are it might be a while until it works... They should first develop it so that everyone can run it like in own servers etc?
When it works (in words real meaning) there will be no shortage of cloud service providers, I'm sure.
This is definitely something to be worried. I'm not in Google+ but prospects that getting blocked (what ever the reason) in Google+ would get my Gmail account inaccessible is frightening.
Registering new Google account for each individual service just to protect the Gmail seems too paranoid, but made me wonder should I try to look behind my shoulders when using Groups etc...
Yes they should make Plugins API version number. Then they could update the colors of the browser only and the plugin authors wouldn't have to be phoned all over again.
Probably the Firefox Plugin API is so much more broad that idea I present is not easily done as there might be dependencies. Though I could imagine something like that working for Chrome where is strict (in good and bad) guidelines for the plugins.
Cause the large portion of students are untrustable cheating bastards? Ok, a little bit of hyperbole, but that really is the reason. In addition to web browsing, you could also load equation solvers and all manner of tools to enable one to cheat their way through math.
Will that be solved once we can record each students screen activity? I would not consider that privacy problem since it is exam.
You are right. All "I" letters seem really fuzzy to me. But there seems to be a workaround addon called Anti-aliasing-tuner. Mozilla should do a patch that tries to apply system wide cleartype settings same way this extension does.
"Dr Shostak says that artificially intelligent alien life would be likely to migrate to places where both matter and energy - the only things he says would be of interest to the machines - would be in plentiful supply. That means the Seti hunt may need to focus its attentions near hot, young stars or even near the centres of galaxies."
So they should be looking at places usually hostile for biological life.
Yes, well there probably is a way to make web server report the address as IPv6, but that was not the point.
Point was that web applications tend to assume it is IPv4, as soon as it starts spewing IPv6 every of those apps goes broken, and someone comes up setting to "fix it".
Every piece of code you write, you basically test already. It is just how do you test it works in the first place?
I used to run the software and test it directly after writing. This is a bad idea, much better idea is to write the unit test as you write the actual code instead of starting the software, this way you actually end up being more productive and not starting the software and navigating it all the time. There are of course some pieces of code that is hard or almost impossible to write unit test on some platforms, usually the UI behavior and such.
I have tried the IE9 Previews, and I was not impressed as much as I wished.
Yes, there are rounded corners and canvas. But the real meat, the HTML5 specification has been lacking, such as HTML5 Form elements. I just tried again with html5test.com and it gives me 96 out of 300.
What I'm afraid is once the make it public they have to start to create backwards compatibility updates, I mean there were several rendering quirks compared to Chrome and FF which required to create yet another conditional IE CSS. Somehow one of my sites causes the text in iframes to drop in to non-cleartype rendering for one, which is a bit archaic. Once they make it to stable, are they willing to update it often to keep it as standards compliant rather than making yet another quirk mode?
So please, Microsoft, update the IE9 often would you?
I currently work on ~3.6Mbps (according to speedtest.net) wireless 3G, I installed this three days ago and my downloaded data shows 1.91GB.
I have not used this to anything special, meaning no P2P or such. How on earth can someone accept 1GB cap? It does not qualify normal browsing for two days.
Sure there is a lot of traffic in populous areas but that is not a reason to set a cap in areas where there is a very little traffic.

So this is frightening action by US.

There is some benchmarks at SmallNetBuilder you might be interested in, I've been eyeing on those for my next router.
One trick is to use Google Chrome like this:
chrome --app="http://mail.google.com"
It's of course not fully featured with tray icon stuff etc. but it is supported feature of Chrome.
This is definitely something to be worried. I'm not in Google+ but prospects that getting blocked (what ever the reason) in Google+ would get my Gmail account inaccessible is frightening.

ACID-moment for HTML5? Promote http://html5test.com/ in these big screens to undermine Microsofts statements.
130 + 5 bonus points from IE9
291 + 13 bonus points from Chrome 12.0.733.0 dev
Though I'd like to see DirectWrite support for Chrome too (just like in Firefox5 and IE9).

Google Reader has following buttons after each post: Add star, Like, Share, Share with Note, Email
Finally I can also have the "+1" button!
I swear none of the buttons could be stacked, they really must be separate.
5.4 Players - "... will be playable by multiple players across a network ..."
Yet somehow this guideline was forgotten in later versions of GTA.
This guy is not kidding, see Chrome task manager, I have only two slashdot tabs open and here is what I have, ordered by memory usage:
Even single tab of Slashdot takes more than Gmail, and that is a real webapp. Slashdot is just for News at least for me.

My revolutionary method involves drawing the graph on a piece of paper, sticking it on the wall and throwing darts at it with your eyes closed.
I think you just rediscovered the Monte Carlo method.

Everybody knows this world is run by its lowest common denominator, the PHP!
As long as the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] spews out IPv4, I'm not a believer.
sigh ... there probably be a another PHP setting that makes it spew out IPv6. Have they outlined that yet? PHP Settings are so much fun.

This is not a phone, but a computer.
And someone above was right, I do use streamed TV for news and such as it works pretty well in Finland. But that is normal usage around here...
