Side Note: Zuckerberg is a marketing genius. This makes facebook actually look safer than G+. what a joke.
This was my first thought as well. Zuckerberg joins G+, gets a lot of followers and then complains about privacy. This focuses people's attention on G+ privacy not features.
Here in Phoenix, they put in a roundabout (a pair actually) at a freeway intersection. They had to completely redo it a year later because they screwed up the lanes. They rebuilt it with a lot better signage and lane markings and it's much easier to use now.
I use LastPass because I want access to my passwords at work and Dropbox is blocked. LastPass does the same thing as KeePass+Dropbox, and I can access it from anywhere.
Exactly. Saying you have an open access point is a great defense after the police arrest you and you get to hire a lawyer and go to many court appearances and depositions, etc. The defense COULD stop you from going to jail, but not before you have to go through a huge hassle.
I work as an architect and recently promoted a developer up to team lead. When he started as a team lead, I sat him down and told him to never sign up for more than 10 hours of actual development a week and never anything in the critical path. He will be spending 30+ hours in meetings for analyzing new projects, production issues, clearing issues for his team, sizing new project requests, status updates to leaders and many other tasks that a team lead needs to do which a developer can safely ignore.
The worst thing a team lead can do is put themselves on the critical path.
Alan Moore said over and over it wasn't filmable. They tried to film it and killed R Rated fantasy movies. This is what happens when you don't listen to Alan Moore.
If are standards group is going to wait years and years before finalizing a standard, then they have no reason to complain that people are going to start using it before you're ready.
Journalism was Jefferson and Hamilton creating competing newspapers to criticize each other's politics while working for the government. Journalism was Pulitzer and Hearst pushing one sided stories to change public policy while having sensational crime stories leading the front page. Journalism was Hearst saying he'll furnish the war. Journalism was the newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s writing misleading stories on the MLK marches to make it look like it was more of a fringe movement. Journalism was saying "If it bleeds, it leads". Watch the movie Network and tell me that things are any different now then it was then.
And if anyone thinks a journalistic license will solve problems, then they are fooling themselves and will politicize reporting more than it is now. Who will be willing to be critical of the government if they can pull your license?
Same here. Everytime I had Wave open in Firefox, it would slow down my browser and my system. That was the main reason why I stayed away after initially playing with it. The other reason, is I couldn't find a decent reason to use it. I have IM and email and couldn't see what was to be gained by fusing them together in Wave.
I have two kids and a Mom who loves to babysit her grandkids. But my Mom is also getting older and will start to need us to help her soon. I might be able to make more money by moving to a different location, but, for me, family comes first. And as someone who grew up thousands of miles away from extended family, I want my kids to grow up with cousins, aunts and uncles nearby and available.
Also, since most of my friends I have known for decades are close to where they grew up, I also get to hang out with long time friends more (we went on a cruise with a friend from grade school last year). My wife and I looked into moving a decade or so ago and actually almost did (I would have if the company had understood cost of living differences and been willing to compensate for it), but now that we're settled, we have less reason to move.
And finally, I've been in the computer industry in my city for the last 20 years. I have contacts at a large number of employers and can easily get a group of friends/co-workers looking for a position for me if I lose my current job.
I haven't seen anything in your posts talking about that motivation: that providing root access to the network infrastructure to technically unqualified would in and of itself cause a legal liability for Childs.
What law would Childs be breaking for giving the passwords to his bosses (who might be unqualified)?
However, How is this any different from RSS? (except this is designed to be viewed by a machine rather than a human?
RSS is a pull technology. I update my blog, which updates my RSS feed and the googlebot goes out and pulls my sitemap (which is my RSS feed on Blogger) and indexes any new pages. This technology sounds like I can ping Google when my site is updated and they can know there is new data for them to pull.
The dealer is doing the firmware update as part of the recall. If they brick your car because the firmware modification goes wrong, then they replace the bricked part. There is no risk on that side. So the big question is do you want a fix for a known bug or do you want to keep the buggy firmware. And as the parent says, if you don't do the upgrade, then if the bug happens to you the insurance company and manufacturer will deny your claim because you refused to fix the bug.
ALP was being developed by Professor Andrew Pakhomov at the University of Alabama in Huntsville of the UAH Laser Propulsion Group, until he was convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to 45 years in prison.[1]
Yes. The biggest problem I have in my job is that people who are working on the same system and don't talk to each other. I end up with duplicated functions and systems that don't work together. Communication is essential on any multi-person project and probably more important than coding skills.
If you read the article, you'd see that the writer is quoting a Russian press release (pdf). If you speak Russian, you can translate it (or try an online translation). Don't disregard the message because you don't like the messenger.
While Amazon handled their end badly, I still pull for them in the battle. Macmillan is basically trying to kill e-books with the price point they are forcing on the market. Amazon at least realizes that it makes no sense to have an e-book go for the same price as a physical book (if we could only get them to remove the DRM now).
They made a deal with the studio to get more streaming movies in exchange for holding back for 4 weeks. I think Netflix had a choice and decided this worked better for them

And it can't just be a short vacation (1-2 days). It has to be at least a week straight.
But as always, leave it to the US govt to take a good idea and f*** it up beyond hope.

Agreed. I rarely watch the extras that come on DVDs, so why would I pay more for more extras that I'm not going to use.

Obviously it's a Rodent Of Unusual Size.
