Third trimester abortions ARE illegal except special cases currently. Roe v Wade was basically 1st trimester it is the mother's choice. 2nd it is the state's. 3rd it is not allowed except in special cases.
At least that is how I was led to understand our laws on the topic.
I've switched my private efforts solely to studying Ruby so I can contribute to this project. It would have been nice though to use a more familiar language. But it is a good opportunity to learn.
"And security architecture is something you *have* to get right up front (which is why good software architects cost a lot of money... it's necessary work, and hard to do well)."
Look, all I'm saying is I think Diaspora's progress in its code base thus far should still be considered in the "right up front" stage. It is so early in development wiping the crud and having someone experienced rewrite it isn't too daunting of a task. I completely expect there to be complete rewrites of a number of modules and I consider it part of a healthy development cycle in FOSS.
My attitude on them being easy to fix comes out of my belief in the community to hold them accountable. If the owners of the project really aren't sufficiently capable of creating secure code then I would expect them to acquiesce to those willing to contribute who are. And given the popularity I suspect there are many. That is why I am so lax about it and surprised about the vitriol.
Then start your own project. Because I see maybe one or two other projects trying to do what Diaspora is doing. Either help contribute and fix the code, start your own project, or stfu.
We need to get people free from the monitoring of facebook and this is in my opinion the best shot. If not just for the hype and catchy name. Those you can't change, the code you can, and quite easily. And the FOSS community will help keep it in check. So this criticism to me makes zero sense.
They tried, they aren't security pros clearly, it will be fixed, lessons will be learned, and it will grow in popularity hopefully.
There is no Silver Bullet in coding. You can't get it right from the beginning always, and you shouldn't hinge success on that hope. The biggest benefit projects get from the FOSS community is that such silly security problems are easily spotted and fixed. If anything this gives me HOPE because it shows there is enough interest in the project that the code is being held to a solid standard. And thanks to that same community those standards will be met, maintained, and hopefully exceeded.
This is what I perceived as the point of the project too. I never expected this to be a hacker proof version of facebook, and that never seemed to me to be the PROBLEM with facebook.
The problem with facebook is how THEY use your data WITHOUT cracking a single thing.
All the Diaspora hate coming from this PRE-ALPHA release of their source code seems so strangely out of place.
I mean, nothing seems to point to me that this is shill garbage coming from facebook, but the conceptual idea of Diaspora is sound and the code was released for the precise reason of improving it, as it has done. Yet all I've heard is some disproportionate vitriol against the project. It doesn't make sense.
And hell, the majority of the security issues found appear to be rather simple to fix. Just add authorization checks and use mongoDB stored procedures more frequently.
Maybe it would be safer if planes only had one pilot, but the pilot flew only half of the time they currently do, the gap created by which is filled by the now removed co-pilot.
This would reduce fatigue and stress on the pilots aiding in a whole number of health issues tied to reasons pilots may become incapacitated in the first place.
You sacrifice safety for expediency daily. Everyone does. It isn't black and white but a gradient. I do not think it is ridiculous to suggest the advance of modern technology has made co-pilots possibly unnecessarily redundant.
Exaggerating threats is a necessary component of making change. You exaggerate beyond your REAL target knowing people will disbelieve the threat even if presented honestly.
If you present it honestly then people will indeed wait until too late.
It is damn dangerous though because if this meta-consideration is made aware to those being given the threat analysis, they will distrust ANYTHING you have to say even if you move to an honest and realistic assessment after the exaggerations.
I modded you insightful, then thought about it. The entire premise is an understanding of the equals sign. And even if they were confused by the () 4+3+2 NEVER EQUALS (9)+2
I think they chose a nonstandard notation for that fact so they would have to rely on the contextual meaning of what an equals sign DOES mean to understand what the intent of () was.
I suspect what he is asking for has been and is happening currently. They know it is illegal and they do it anyway and are pushing for this to retroactively cover their asses.

This is the hardware manufacturer implementing Android, not Android itself, that is causing this disgrace.
I've had a G1 with T-Mobile for a year now in Houston, Tx. I've not once had a real issue with 3G. Hell, on a drive from Houston to Dallas or Austin I can tether the thing to my laptop and stream Grooveshark with barely missing a beat, and that is a bit of a rural area between here and there.
Disagree. The "right" and "wrong" here though is so muddied in this situation. He left notes for the admins pointing out the holes. His "wrong" is indeed in the vein of social behavior and not moral behavior, in my opinion. If it was his moral behavior then why would he have left the notes?
Hypocrisy is not something the general public tolerates much. For a company to make well known that phrase "Do no evil" it means they are risking being a hypocrite. It isn't a guarantee, but a promise. Promises can be broken. We have to hold them to it just like anything else someone has promised you.

Those words have meaning. Specific meaning, in fact. And they in no way apply to this topic.
That crazy Lupin, what will he do next?
A) Cap and trade is proven to have worked regarding acid rain.
B) Who said there is a silver bullet solution and only one option can be tried?
C) You don't deserve that karma, your statement was trite and counterproductive.

Showing we're being lied to is a political objective now? I thought it was the right thing to do.
I will not be surprised to find soon there is an inexpensive way of shielding against this.
Then again, if you've got nothing to hide, why do you have tinfoil lined pockets, citizen?

Why is the information publicly available? Why would most generic Mac users care to seek it on their own? Should Apple shove it in their face?
