Excellent post. We all know some warming is occurring, but I dispute the Al Gore view on the subject. Critical thought is a good thing, but by labeling you a 'denialist' and comparing it with fucking holocaust denial they try to label you in a very sleazy way...
Yes, this is good advice. But the certificates are also an indication, but slightly the other way around. In my experience the *really* good programmers know they have no actual use for certificates and will actually be a little proud they have come so far without... and the ones who boast about all the different certificates they have acquired are not really worth the trouble. I guess people that know they won't be hired by their own merit alone try to compensate for this by getting a whole list of certifications.
I tried to joke about the journalists, and tried to come up with a possible post... and it occurred to me: 'what the fuck *would* you write on Facebook when you're being raped?', it's far too ridiculous to think of anything less shameful (but funny)...
If watching years of stand-up comedy (and South Park) taught us anything it's that nothing is exempt from being funny in some strange way.
In my mind pedophiles deserve lifetime prison sentences with no possibility of a parole. This guy deserves a couple decades in jail for sure, but it's really not pedophilia. It's the rape of a minor.
A pedophile deserves absolutely no jail time, who the fuck cares that you get turned on by men, women, horses, hentai, shoes or children. It's only the practicing pedophiles you need to worry about... But we already have laws against those sick fucks. Anyone who rapes a minor deserves lifetime in prison with no possibility of a parole, furthermore anyone who has sex with a minor under 16 can never claim this was consensual since someone twice the age can put an amount of pressure on a child that is not to be underestimated... If you ignore this last part all the pedophiles keep claiming the children want it too. They want the children to want it too, and pretend it works that way, but as long as we'll never let a piss-poor defense like that fly that too counts as rape (since the child did not consent legally).
Rape is a terrible thing, when it's a minor it's far worse... But that does not mean we should fuel the whole witch-hunt for pedophiles... It will only lead to kids being charger for photographing themselves and crazy shit like that.
Mozilla also announced that the criteria for 'security bugs' require an attack vector that completely compromises the system from a remote location without internet connection. All other bugs are not treated as 'security' bugs, but rather: 'unwanted features', the bounty for this is of course limited to a 'quit complaining, you got it for free' letter... oh wait, I forgot, who are ripping on again?
Because with an ordinary case the vulture-like journalists can't easily find out the address, pictures and favorite color of the little girl in question, not to do anything to remotely help or support but to get as much views as possible... The facebook part is just used to enlist crowds of geeks to track every little bit of information down... I guess they didn't know they could just scour facebook to find her profile by searching for a comment like: PLZ water my farm 4me, being raped IRL!!! BRB?:'-(
Yeah the Idiocracy part might be true, because as we know every smart Slashdotter never has sex, and never reproduces... But every dumb Slashtroll also never has sex, and never reproduces...
errrr... Wait a minute, from an evolutionary perspective Slashdot should not exist, like the eyeball!!! Am I going blind now or am I blind already and delusional to think I could read Slashdot?
Basically just a crooked QWERTY password!!!:-D
I was all 'yeah, it can happen to any Windows system...' until I read about this hardcoded shit password, they had it coming! It has probably been leaked to a competitor by some anonymous employee who was ignored too many times when pointing out security issues..
The pirates *are* Somalia's navy! The country has no army to speak of (started a new army in 2004), and it was my understanding the pirates actually started out as some kind of freedom fighter fisherman attempting to stop international fishing trawlers from emptying their waters (the lack of a navy kinda made it a free for all). So this would not apply in this case, since their status was not quite so clear, it could be considered a peoples army at the start...
This of course changed fast enough because poor starving people smelling an opportunity for easy money also became pirates... But even when doing the math all the pirates loot together is much less than the monetary value of even the fish taken from their seas (I don't want to bother finding the article about this, but there have been several). So overall the Somali pirates were fighting a losing battle against the international community pillaging them...
Calling that sad bunch of fishermen an enemy of mankind is a little over the top in my opinion. The term used to be valid centuries ago for hard criminals without a country, but more recently it has been abused by the US to attempt to gain illegal jurisdiction over citizens of other counties, in the other country... So I guess in the new-world-order-of-the-US-definition it would be perfectly valid to call them enemies of mankind, it makes it easier to 'take care' of the problem because it seems slightly less illegal. Oh yeah, and the US also forgot that according to their new definitions we could declare a lot of CIA torturers enemies of mankind and prosecute them no matter where their crimes are committed... Fucking double standards, don't buy into terms like these that are only meant to give some validity to dubious morally-unsound politics!

That would be true if we would pay for a *license* to download and listen to music... but clearly we do not (just like with the blank CD tax). But this only proves that these taxes are forced payments without any added value or exchange of goods (more commonly known as extortion according to the definition of the word)... They try to sell it as compensation for imaginary losses, giving it a guise of legality... But to tax all people equally for supposed crimes against their stockholders without delivering anything in return is clearly unjust.
It's different with the tax on copiers for example, you have to pay a little over a dozen € yearly and then you can copy (fair use) all you want... I'm still against a tax like that (it's fair use after all), but in that case you can at least claim you pay for a license to make use of your fair use right without running the risk of being sued for making a copy of an article somewhere...
The problem is: those (good) solutions will not work for business situations where people just need to get work done, but have no clue about computers and browsers... At one of my jobs there are multiple secretaries working on different days, and they need access to each others and some general email addresses all hosted on Google Apps... Until now there was no good non-technical solution (aliases and mailing lists also were no option since you get mail double, and you can't see which has been answered by the other). With this new feature they can sign in to multiple mailboxes from one single browser, and answer and process all incoming mail with more ease.
I like sites with a clear business-model like cdbaby.com, artists can decide their own price and know what part they will get. Simple and easy to publish music like that! I found some nice artists there, no need to go big label indeed. But it goes a little too far to say that I will never buy any big label music I like, that too goes against my principles, but I try to avoid it yeah...;-) Especially since too much of our money somehow already makes it's way into the record-execs pockets...
You'd think so, but sadly according to them, you can't. And the politicians seem to agree with the bribes... uhhhh I misspelled lobby... from the industry.
I'm currently paying for music in the following ways (probably more):
- Legally downloaded music
- Donations to great internet radio
- Last.FM all- you-can-eat subscription
- Concert and festival tickets
- Monthly fees for radio (comes with cable)
- Tax on my blank CDs and MP3 player
- And newest proposal: tax the internet
There are countless ways they want our money for music made by others... But somehow I am still a criminal who owns them a gazillion for downloading some music???
When will this madness end?
This is a welcome improvement, sadly it's still miles behind competing browsers... They still have to slash their benchmark stats in half to beat existing performance of Chrome, Safara and even IE9! Highly interactive webapps still won't run as smoothly in Firefox as in other browsers, which is a shame. I really love FireFox as a developer, but I have to say the slow speed is the biggest drawback. This is something that deserves proper attention from experts who really care about it, but now they have given themselves an impossible deadline to create these massive improvements... September is close by, and while these guys are miracle workers in my book they should not ask too much and create big expectations they (probably) can't meet.

We're way past pushing back... "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." ;)
But seriously, documenting and reminding people of the craziest stunts they try to pull is a good way to fight back.
That would be true if we would pay for a *license* to download and listen to music... but clearly we do not (just like with the blank CD tax).

Legally speaking, no... But *legally* speaking, yes!

I've really been waiting for this!!! the script solution is kind-of buggy... Please release this for Google Apps fast!
