Which is relevant if you're one to actually look at your login attempt logs.

Would you mind linking to your friend's implementation in Golang? I'm learning the language and want to see how he did it.

name.com is very usable and otherwise handy; I don't like this policy, but I wouldn't wish GoDaddy on my worst enemy.

(OK, maybe I would)

EDIT: I really don't understand your thinking; I am the opposite. I respect name.com for being forward about it and not acting like a politician (treating me like a child).

Confirmed to work with name.com

Before: Parked page After: Bing search (thanks IE)

Makes me think of Snow Crash a bit... plugged in constantly to virtual reality.

Know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. Sometimes pragmatism beats principle.

I see people talking about installing Ubuntu on this.

I remember when the Retina display came out, there were issues with Ubuntu's UI scaling to the high DPI of the device.

If I put Ubuntu on the Pixel, would it look good?

How do you know the goods you purchase are safe for consumption? Is it based on reputation of the vendor? Do you have home testing kits?

Verisign "dongles" can come on smartphones of all types, and on many operating systems. I even believe they have browser plugins, meaning even linux would be supported. That is, if you think two-factor is necessary for university systems.

As far as email, there are several things to consider: One, that I would think it a rarity for a student, or even a teacher! to need to send a single email to more than a handful of /external/ email addresses at a time. Put an email firewall in place between your internal and external systems, and have IT security monitor that system for peaks in traffic. Single users sending outbound mail a lot. Obviously, there should be a spam filter going in AND out.

And yes, spam email does trickle in sometimes, and from different SMTP servers, but from the bit I've dealt with them, there are definite patterns that a person can pick up on when they're watching for it.

To me, it's a check against a teacher making an obscenely hard test that even the smartest students can't pass. The logic would be that if the best and brightest can only get a 60, then the exam should be curved.

This assumes that the best and brightest are actually really smart and knowledgeable.

The U.S. national government was designed to be a federal system: The national government handled an explicit set of duties, leaving all other responsibilities to states, which were and are more proper as a government of the people.

Since the U.S. is a union of the states, it makes sense to have a legislative body representing states' (and indirectly, peoples') interests. Whether the population differences between Texas and Wyoming are too extreme is a legitimate question, but I still believe in the original intent of the Senate.

BTW, the original intent of the Senate was all but destroyed by the 17th amendment, which seriously impacted states' rights by moving the motivating factor of Senators from "How do I get reelected by my state?" to "How do I get reelected by the people?"

Finally, (and this is only a statement of fact, not of defense) it is fairly well known that most Founders, especially Federalists, were wary of democracy unchecked. IMO, fair democracy does depend on an educated populace, which makes me sad about today's government.

I think that, aside from disagreeing with most of that principle, it is futile to search the contents of electronic devices at the border. I could ship an encrypted device through mail, I could use steganography and encryption to upload a file to a personal server and have someone immediately unplug said server... there are lots of ways to transport digital files that don't involve the physical device at the border.

>“We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits,”

Well frankly, in that case, I don't give a shit what you conclude, because you're mentally incompetent.

"We also conclude that following the Constitution for Americans reentering the country would put us in a bind for looking at whatever we want, so we're going to say that you don't need that right to privacy."

I /really/ hope Playframework guys see this. Their "community" is a google group and "search for 'play-framework' on StackExchange!".

Drives me bonkers. Hell, a reddit forum would be better!

And aren't there forum/mailing list hybrid that allows people to interact through web or email? even THAT would be better!

I have about 5 guys that play, and the "chat room" design of Mumble makes a lot more sense for our use case (which could be different from yours). We hop in the server whenever we want, just to hang out, then use it for games when we are all in.

It's also secure, FOSS, cross-platform, and implements a consistent UI. Skype has none of these.

I loathe it because of the repeated privacy concerns, reliance on a central company for not only its development but its OPERATION, and the presence of many competitors.

VoIP PBXes for "phone call" style video/audio

Mumble/Vent/Teamspeak for audio/text chatrooms

The man deserves his money back, and the prosecutor needs run out of town on a rail (if not imprisoned) for corruption.

It sucks we have to pay, sure, but I'd much rather the man get his money back than not.

I'm not against theories, but if race filtering was their goal, they seemed to have failed. Moreso when you consider the cost of the effort... so I'm not going for it.

And urban blacks (and many urban people, period) are often poor. A business might want cheap land to create a suburban work area. Prices go up, poor people move out. It doesn't have to be racial.

I suppose it wouldn't be absurd to have another repository in Ubuntu, say, for unvalidated packages, kind of like the PPA, but without having to manually add the PPA to your repo.

If, along with main/universe/multiverse/restricted, they had "badlands" or something, that contained all packages that would otherwise be in a PPA, it could be more scalable.

If the distros continue to have their "app store" feel, where you get apps from distro maintainers as a trusted provider, then vaildating the barest amount of security and usability for programs uploaded to their archives would be even more of a chore. It would also tax bandwidth and drive space, FWIW.

Windows got/gets away with it because they provide the OS and a few apps, and says, "go to download.com for all your needs!".

I'm not saying people shouldn't have X view, I'm saying today that they should know that posting, liking on facebook, etc. are equivalents of shouting it from the rooftop.

I could have expressed myself more carefully.

> And lots of people have embarrassing and/or contradictory and/or naive views and tastes.

That they should be keeping off the Internet.

I think it would be interesting to see this implemented at a state level, where it belongs, rather than trying to accomplish this at the Federal level.

On one side, teachers do suffer from excess bureaucracy, underappreciation and (sometimes) lack of skills. On the other, mandatory guilds/bars are not usually something I'm a fan of, on principle.

I think that's where "they" would point to the "distribution" evidence, that shows varying rates of the same correlation geographically.

If we go on that, then you'd have to find another event that occurred at similar rates in similar geographic areas.

Now, if only there were medical indications that lead causes violent behavior... the article only points to IQ issues, though there is likely more evidence elsewhere.

To your last point: You might be right, but it doesn't negate the idea of the America he and I wish to see: Something that is trule honest and something to be proud of, regardless of the competition.

That's why you don't cut to 1/5...

I suppose it's all numbers in the end.... Mankind has found a way in the rest of the world to make metric work!

The government is quick to enforce "spirit of the law" or "letter of the law" when it's most convenient for them.

Only between feet and inches, but usually, he's working solely in inches (and fractions of an inch) for his projects.

mm/dd/yy makes sense to those who use it, given our cultural adjustment.

My father's argument for imperial is how easy it is to divide measurements. In woodworking, especially. 10 is divisible by 2 and 5. Powers of two are more flexible for division.
