That might be true specifically for web devs but its certainly not true for general software devs. For example, the place I work at wont even consider you if you don't have a degree.

Although this ruling is a win for our rights and freedoms, given the deciding 3 terms: "indiscriminately, exclusively at its expense; and for an unlimited period", its clear the ruling is based on the rights of the ISP to not have to face additional undetermined expenses, rather than anything to do with protecting the internet or free speech.
Its been clear for decades if not centuries that the US government is so sold out that it prioritises big business profits above its own constitution, however its sad to see the same is apparently now true of the EU.
What makes you think that botnet writers won't find a way around this new virus checker immediately? I mean its written by Microsoft so we already know its going to be inherently insecure.
Terrible Idea on so many levels. Firstly, they need to fix the problem, not the symptoms.
Secondly, as most people will now wrongly assume they don't need to bother with 3rd party virus checkers, virus writers will find their life much easier as they only need to make sure their virus is undetectable to the MS checker.
Thirdly, Microsoft has a terrible track record with fast responses to security issues.Their corporate culture of responding slowly or even sometimes choosing to totally ignore new exploits doesn't bode well for frequent and thorough virus checker updates.
OK bear with me. I'm old school and do a lot of embedded development. I do pretty much everything in C or C++. I am not even slightly in tune with the kitchen sink mindset and all technologies you internet-everything developer types use. I've always thought you guys do way too much layering and usually end up making some heavyweight, overcomplex and slow monster with all sorts of dependencies on stuff like web servers and databases to just to do something I could do in a few lines of native C++.
A JVM based on Javascript seems a perfect example of extreme bloat to me. I'm genuinely interested in whats the benefit of this approach that can outweigh its no doubt massive resource usage and relatively sucky performance, even compared to native JVM?
The constitution has no teeth. Its clear that the US government (and therefore big business) feels entirely free to ignore the constitution whenever it suits them, so its not clear that extending constitutional protection to the internet will have any effect in actual practice.
I actually LIKE seeing colleagues and my reports being open and individual. The last thing I want from anyone I have to deal with, especially at work, is even more fake PeeCee veneer and corporate doublespeak.
I prefer they wear what they like to meetings as they are more relaxed and focussed on the real issues, not totally irrelevant crap. Furthermore I judge people on their performance not their appearance.
I heard Google employees could ask for any food in their cafe. The Google Chef must be the guy that cooks it all. No wonder he's a great guy putting up with every nerd's random dining requirements.
Consider the rate at which mankind is currently generating and spreading basically useless data that at some stage happens to get encrypted. How much more data will there be in say 20 years?
I think its naive to imagine that of all that data, some unknown man-in-the-middle is gonna capture and waste say 20 years of storage on one of your ssh streams or whatever, until the power to brute-force decrypt it is reasonably available, just on the off-chance that it may contain something still useful by then.

That feature has been removed for Ubuntu 11.10 Even if you manually install gnome, the login screen setting annoyingly always defaults back to unity (whereas 11.04 preserved the last-selected WM)
There seems to be conflicts in the story about how & where he got killed. I wouldn't be so sure its really him until they do DNA testing. He was known to employ body doubles.

Disc = British English spelling.
Disk = American spelling.
Applies to hard drives, CD's, DVDs and every other circular thing.
The way it is spelt should not imply anything about the nature of the thing itself, only the origin of the person writing about it.
Composite is analog so there's some loss of image quality.

Are there courses available to learn radio hamming?
If there was a gap year in the course, would it be called a ham sandwich course?

1) How can you authoritatively determine the android phone you are about to buy doesn't have Carrier IQ installed, BEFORE you buy it?
2) If you already have an android phone, (how) can you check for and uninstall Carrier IQ?

I'd just smash it up and toss it.

Even if you manually install gnome, the login screen setting annoyingly always defaults back to unity (whereas 11.04 preserved the last-selected WM)
Try upgrading to 11.10 then try and convince it to NOT keep defaulting back to unity every time you log in.
You'll see what I mean.
>> 'cool' power users should like usability and ease of use
I do. Thats why I avoid Unity.
Unity gets in the way. It takes way to many actions to find and launch something compared to gnome 2.
...since Unity has made Ubuntu completely suck on anything with a mouse and keyboard.
...and political strikes are tech news how?
I hope this thing, and any like them, gets shot out of the sky and destroyed by citizens who still care about the constitution.
Britney Spears made a song? wow. I never knew.
yes. Really.
