It's a blog post and a FAQ. That's it. No probe to prove there is no planet Nibiru, no expensive mission.
So then NASA doesn't really KNOW that there's no planet Nibiru? I urge everyone to call your congresscritters and DEMAND that NASA probe with an expensive mission to prove there is no planet Nibiru. Two missions if you want to feel safe.

Unfortunately, Ubuntu seems to have lost its way. Every new release seems to introduce a lot of breakage, which in my opinion, outright destroys ease of use.
Agreed. Ubuntu Live CDs won't run on my gaming computer. The nv driver green-screens (the popular veritcal green lines), and vesa drivers won't load. Vesa's worse than the nv drivers because they cause xorg to reload every half second, so I can't type anything on an alternate virtual console. At least Fedora supports vesa correctly.
gparted and ntfs-3g on live cd?

Does the Live CD have gparted and ntfs-3g yet? It's kind of silly having to use Ubuntu Live CDs to partition prior to installing Fedora.
How did you get it to work? Everything I've tried works fine for desktop browsers but does nothing with the iPhone except create a worthless "Profile" in the "General" preferences menu that isn't associated with Safari in any way that I can tell.
And don't get me started about the ridiculous animated gif file size limitation. I had to animate my radar images by using multiple stills, and the JS to animate it was broken, so I had to do ol' fashioned cgi pushes.
Sure you can. To add a custom CA cert, just make a link to it and have the user explicitly touch that link. Make sure the MIME type for the reply is application/x-x509-ca-cert. Try it and if it doesn't work, shout,
IT DOESN'T WORK!! :D
Everything I've tried only creates some "profile" that doesn't have my certs validated by the CA. In fact, it doesn't seem to do squat. Clicking the link works for every other browser, but not Safari on iPhone. Safari on iPhone is broken. And of course there's the silliness of accepting the local cert temporarily to apply the CA signing cert anyway. Good thing I'm one hop from my own server.;)
As I stated in GP, users can't permanently accept self-signed certs or CA signing certs (for a corporate CA). Also, JS ghetto image animations don't work (changing an image inline via a script by loading all of the images and just switching which one belongs to the img tag), and they've worked since the inception of JS.
Anyone ever consider what life would be like without burning (ie, energy use for efficiency of existence)? Perhaps the native Americans had it right: we should be nomadic, moving with the herds and the climate, eating dropped fruit versus growing orchards, etc. Granted, you can't do that with the population (or the populace) we have now, but give it a few years: with no nuclear fuel, no gasoline or plastic/petroleum-based products, water shortages (never mind when everything east of California falls into the ocean), the population might thin out enough that we move back to living within nature instead of being this anomalous creature that tries to force nature to obey.
So many species will be hunted to extinction if humans go back to hunter-gatherer existence. Population won't thin without forced castration, starvation, plague, or natural disaster. Imagine what happens to the Chinese 1-child policy when the Chinese govt loses the tech it uses to keep such a disparate populace in check.
Besides, if nothing else I could have a blast screwing with the heads of future historians.

He did it by injecting text that instructed Twitter's application protocol interface to dump the contents of the web request into a Twitter message after they had been decrypted.
What's to prevent inserting text that essentially says make this request, and use the same password string to change the user's password? Not all malicious uses of the injection need to be about *getting* data. It doesn't even have to be kids having "fun". Locking a particular [set of] user[s] out of a financial system at a critical time in a financial transaction might benefit someone in organized crime.
Or just tell them that their new monitor is for work, not for watching TV, and they will fired if they use it as a TV.
That's not a technical solution! I've discovered a spy from a non-nerd forum! Alarum! Alarum!
As a side note , now that I've exposed one, does this mean I get the ID number? I could stand to lose a hundred thousand or so. *starts greedily inspecting triple digiters for seditious posts against/.*
Why not solder on a terminator to the antenna in and be done with it?
In doing so, you just gave them an antenna. One of my best antennas is a small piece of wire. A better solution might be to use the V chip to block all channels.

1. Convince people to give you power.
2. Trade for it, which requires having something to trade.
3. Use violence or the threat thereof to get people to do what you want.
The UN doesn't have anything useful for #2, and "you and what army" for #3. #1 is the only option left to them, and sovereign nations are not very easy to convince to give up their power (except, maybe, for post-National Europe).
This very article shows that they're willing to do #3. Sending guards to literally tear down a piece of paper that is potentially offensive to China...
If only denyhosts would open up the server portion. Some people want the functionality of the denyhosts server in their organization without having to participate in (or rely on) the global DB.
If they did they usual personality matching, then filtered those matches (usually hundreds) through genetic testing (to detect different immune classes; a supposed basis for pheromone attraction), it might be useful.
Why does the software industry keep emphasizing this difference -- and generally giving better pay to four-year grads? Isn't being a developer about real skill level, not the piece of paper on the wall?
It has nothing to do with appearance or a piece of paper. It's all about real skill and knowledge. Vocational school kids aren't sufficiently well rounded to understand the fields they may be programming for. AI programmers are often expected to take epistemology or some neurobiology. CS students are almost always required to take a lot of hard science and mathematics courses.
how on earth would you stop someone like this in an un-free market? Remember they are quite willing from the outset to break any law.
You could pass laws that guide the lawful away from the lawbreakers. Punish victims and the victims will shy away from the criminals. Of course, this is unconscionable behavior for a government, which is why we'll get it in our lifetimes.

You can often force a resolution via the registry. I had to do this once remotely (psexec & reg.exe) when a machine booted up into a 320x240 res.

...there will be a quiz later.
There are three ways to expand one's power:
1. Convince people to give you power.
2. Trade for it, which requires having something to trade.
3. Use violence or the threat thereof to get people to do what you want.
