"If you live in the US, poverty is not unavoidable. It is usually a consequence of your own actions."
Ah, yes, the American dream. You already said it yourself: "But I'm very blessed.". Not all people are.
Saying that everybody can get out of the trap is non-sense. It may be very invigorating for you to think so, but in the end you're turning it around.
That you made it doesn't mean that everybody else can. Do you really think the *because they want to be*, because they are lazy, because they are quitters?
Just for fun, draw up a list of all the things that could have stopped you achieving what you did. You might find life is even better than you expected. You'll hopefully also see that your life cannot be lived by everybody else.

We're moving into a situation where the climate changes will force people from coastal areas, both poor and rich alike. We're still polluting and depleting the Earth at an alarming rate. Furthermore, the income gap between the rich and poor is widening. There seems to very little control, and where it does exist it's often more evil than where it doesn't exist. Besides all that we're still living in between nukes and nuclear power plants and those *are* going to blowup once in a while, if history has thought us anything. All these facts will lead almost certainly to renewed war and social instability.
Sure it feels cozy living at the current time (I say when 30% in NL, one of the richest countries in the world, has problems balancing their checkbooks). But I don't assume that's universal, and I surely don't think it will last.
One of the more likely scenarios for never having had any contact with a alien civilization is that they blew themselves up just a few thousand years after the first big scientific breakthroughs. One of the issues with globalization is that extinction will be global as well.
Then again, I'm going to ponder this over further behind a freshly made capucino.
I was looking in vain for my ethernet port for my Lenovo Yoga 3 laptop lately. Very nice price for a good IPS touch display, WiFi AC, backlit keyboard, Samsung SSD, i7 and 8.6 GB of RAM. But when my cable internet provider asked me to test the connection I was searching in vain for my ethernet port. I never even imagined that such a machine comes without ethernet support. Fortunately the USB 3 ethernet connector of Lenovo is pretty cheap and works amazingly well. As you still need the ethernet cable I'm not sure that USB-3 has replaced it, but it certainly replaced the port on the laptop.
In this case I agree. It's:
1) install raspbian
2) install [dionaea](http://dionaea.carnivore.it/), the honeypot software.
And...that's about it. Some general download and configuration options are present.
It's easy to follow and read and therefore probably a good blog entry, but not exactly news.
We have used a number of patches on top of OpenSSL for many years. Some of them have been accepted into the main OpenSSL repository, but many of them don’t mesh with OpenSSL’s guarantee of API and ABI stability and many of them are a little too experimental.
For something that includes experimental patches, *boring* would be an extremely stupid part of the name.
Maybe so, but I've still got one of those plain old telephones that do work on a POTS line lying around. And I would not be surprised if many people still have one of those lying around as well. Of course, I've long given up on the POTS subscriber line, so it won't make much of a difference.
No internet means no television, no radio, nothing. I've however got 3 internet connections; one DSL, one mobile backup provided by my internet provider and a telephone. This telephone is will also receive an SMS if anything catastrophic happens in the neighbourhood.
I'm hoping on quick restoration of mobile lines if something does happen. In the Netherlands that's probably a storm, an industrial accident or flooding, we are happily void of earthquakes, tornadoes, tropical storms...
OK, I can understand this one, but there are so many ways of hiding information in a channel that you simply need to have a blanket permission. Otherwise you are promising something that you cannot enforce.
What I could see is permissions for specific ad services, or access to specific servers. Even then the last one is of limited use; it could only help against sharing information with a *third party*. If you don't trust the developer, then just connecting with the server of the developer is enough to share any information with anybody. Sometimes however you *don't* connect to a server of a developer, it would be helpful if an IMDB app could just connect to IMDB and not to the developer of the app.
That is certainly true, but most of the libraries that are used for core functionality of applications (at least if your application is not just a GUI or Android specific) are fully compatible with the Java runtime after compilation, and almost any third party lib can be compiled and run. The only problem is that many applications are too dependent on the GUI - in other words if they are badly written.
Dunno, but it keeps managers from only allowing the "free" version I suppose, and it does not have any relation to the word "cheap" and therefore "sub-par". Although I guess it does by now, at least for software.
It used to be that reporters first learned basic grammar before creating an article. English is not my first language, but that article has been written so badly that it is hurting my eyes. Even the quotes don't make sense (if they are actually quotes, who can tell?)
The Java API is generally considered a very well written and documented API. Many functions are not directly present from an OS. Stating that the OS functions are easier to program against is certainly - well, actually just wrong. Generally they are much more complex and much less documented than the Java API. The tool support tends to be much worse too, with a steep learning curve (in general), never mind trying to compile for another platform with different libraries and drivers.
I'm not a big fan of using Java or Flash in web browsers, although I think the access controlled Java is at least a lot less vulnerable - if updated from time to time - than flash. Unfortunately, it is also pretty shitty for web applications/games compared with flash.

Yeah, that kinda took the fun out of it. I blame the /. editing tools. It *was* perfectly aligned.

...the swoosh you're hearing is the joke becoming airborne.
Hash is crypto. Its not encryption although with a bit of effort it can be turned into a stream cipher.

So where is the heartbleed bug report that was ignored?

RSA is a purposefully weak cipher? Citation needed!
You don't need to eat them all. Just turn them into jam and distribute. I'll happily eat the jam.

As a European, I truly must ask: "What is a telephone pole?" Never seen one.
Yes, you did...

Oh, yes, thank you for generating another Slashdot meme...
I'm just glad you used the back of a napkin and not a piece of toilet paper...
Smartphones are not useless toys by any means. If you think that then I'm afraid your century has gone.

PyDev is an Eclpise plugin, which is build using Java. I find it a bit ironic you are immediately pointing to a very successful Java IDE.
Crap should break. Otherwise, if you spend just a bit of time making sure that your application has been created using Java rules.
Java is well known to be a pretty conservative language regarding new features, so I really don't know what you are talking about there.
And *any* language has it's crap API's or bloatware, Java is certainly not an exception there.

You should look at another Vendor, because it is *broken*.
