If you think FB has privacy issues now.... Google+ may have a lot of new accounts after the FB IPO* hits. Not that Google is any better privacy-wise, but people wanting to share their entire life online may have to choose the lesser of two evils.
the guy who wrote it gave it to both Sun AND Android.
Um.. not sure who your "guy" is. Noser is the alleged contracting company who allegedly worked with the rangeCheck code, even after getting explicit specs. this is the crux of the argument;
"Bornstein stated that he removed some elements of Java from Android last year after Oracle filed their case in court. He explained that the Java elements came from a Swiss contractor called Noser Engineering AG, who helped them built Android. He also stated that the contracter was given instructions as to what they can and cannot use for Android. Bornstein also stated that the only thing they copied from Java are those available for public use and do not require any license from Oracle. He also admitted that he is being paid $400 per hour by Google for his time in court."
I've been following the Oracle vs Google trial on other websites. Not sure why/. hasn't been covering it routinely. It's a pretty big deal not just to Google , but there are some issues being judged which may affect the programming community in general, down the road.
Alsup seemed to be a little perturbed with some of Oracle's ploys to captialize on the assumed "programming ignorance" of the jury. I haven't seen the RangeCheck code, but from Alsups statement it sounds like Oracle is trying to make a case from egregiously far-reaching evidence. One which basically means Oracle doesn't, and never had, much of a case to begin with.
Best way I've found to measure growth is to have a running history of traffic on each router. You don't need a $billion to do it. There are some decent enough FOSS tools out there to do it. MRTG or Cacti will work nicely and integrate with SNMP.
For a smaller network, you could run a span port and graph your own data with a shell script, or hook up NTOP. which will give you real-time views of traffic but you would need to implement something to save those reports daily.
I never saw what Psystar did that was actually wrong.
They broke the law. Despite being a crappy EULA or not, that's the agreement the user enters into with Apple in order to legally license the product. The courts don't rule via crap-o-meter, they rule by what the law says.... well, they're supposed to. I feel suspiciously certain many will rule depending what the 'Buck' says too but that's beside the point.
Tiobe's data is an indicator of how active internet based discussions on each programming language. Even Tiobe says it themselves:
"What programming languages are hot in the Internet discussions? "
and
" Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written." (http://www.tiobe.com/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html)
All the graph on that link above shows is there's been an increase in the amount of discussion on Objective C. You can say it's due to an increase in adoption, or you could say it's due to people being absolutely fitful with learning it. There's no way to tell what the data means. You may as well google " sucks" and count the results.
I think the author/submitter is being very hopeful in the way they have construed the data.
The very USPS page that is linked to from this summary says that batteries that are in devices are generally exempt from this
Not sure what article you're reading so will paste it verbatim here from TFA. I don't interpret the "rechargeable" and "nonrechargeable" to explicitly mean "removed from the device":
"primary lithium metal or lithium alloy (nonrechargeable) cells and batteries or secondary lithium-ion cells and batteries (rechargeable) are prohibited when mailed internationally"
and then the part about being installed in the device - that's not until 2013:
"on January 1, 2013, cusÂtpmers will be able to mail specific quantities of lithium batteries internationally (including to and from an APO, FPO, or DPO location) when the batteries are properly installed in the personal electronic devices they are intended to operate."
In the end, you need to package and ship everything to a warehouse, then ship it to a store or directly to a customer which takes fuel and produces more greenhouse gas. A simple repair eliminates all of this. People just don't consider the big picture because most of them can't see past the shelf in Walmart.
When you consider what the US gives to it's science budget, the only thing eroding public trust is the paid-for blathering by bought-off scientists. Don't try and hide the real problem with "Positive Bias". That's what you get when you hire someone at a pharmaceutical company to write up a paper for Nature. You don't get independent viewpoints you get advertisement with a scientific undertone.

A magazine which reports on "finance, industry, investing, and marketing" reporting about how great it is to replace your CEO with an H1B visa carrier? I think this takes the cake.
As an employer there are laws on data retention, so faculty and staff e-mail has to be retained for legal purposes.
So then you run the mail relay and archive whatever goes thorough it or comes from it. Forcing people to use some proprietary solution with that as an argument is BS.
Sad to see it go because it's kind of iconic of a culture who grew up to be scientists and engineers. Something really rare these days. The majority of kids these days are either out playing soccer or inside on the Xbox, DS or whatever. The majority have no more interest in Space than occasionally glancing up at the moon and no more interest in electrical engineering than how many gigs and how to plug it in.
I think kids were more fascinated with technology in the 70s because there wasn't much of it around. Even color TV wasn't mainstream. These days, kids are saturated with it. The thought of building something just doesn't appeal to them.
I don't think the market would have been there for Heathkit. The puttering around of a bunch of old geezers just isn't enough to run a company on.
the Russians have a better track record at sending people into space and getting them back alive
Do you have any data to back that up? The Russians have a track record for crappy maintenance records and risky procedures which result in a large number of unique accidents. I've always wondered if the Russian space policy largely consists of "aw, f_ck it. warp 9!" or if they are just accident prone.
Among these: * Drowned during water recovery training * Fire in low-pressure chamber * Crew exposed to vacuum of space * gas poisoning on board * fire in launch vehicle * eye injury from Mir exercise equipment * fire on board the Mir space station * collision in space * Explosion while fueling up a Vostok-2M rocket

I could even mistake the HTC logo at the top, and the bottom row of hardware buttons for an early ipad. Totally.

Seems odd to me how corporations can file chapter 11 and a few years later still have millions to waste on shttiy advertising mediums.
Hopefully someone turns on the Murdochs instead of taking the sword for the family.
Never happen. When you're the 1%, the 99% take the sword.
That's really all that matters. I've always been and AMD fan but If they can't pull out the same performance for less or equal price, they're done.
Add this to the borked-beta weekend and I think they have more polishing to do.

Creating a new item on an assembly line is generally cheaper than trying to repair it.
Not exactly. If you consider the amount of energy, resources and environmental impact that goes int into producing a toaster:
Steel parts: mine ore, haul ore, melt it (blast furnace), machining
Plastic parts: crude oil, refining, pelletizing, melting, extrusion and molding.
In the end, you need to package and ship everything to a warehouse, then ship it to a store or directly to a customer which takes fuel and produces more greenhouse gas. A simple repair eliminates all of this. People just don't consider the big picture because most of them can't see past the shelf in Walmart.
