Congrats! This looks really interesting. One thing I would appreciate clarity on: I'd prefer not to send data to ad networks, if I pay for the ad free version, will that not only prevent the display of ads but also any associated tracking?
I've been listening to Mirror's Edge OST while programming for weeks now, never thought to look for who created that sound track. Thanks!
Does anyone know if there are images from this rover available on-line ? I'd love to see some hi rez shots of the Earth with the Moon's horizon in the shot.
I'm in the same boat. Personally I suspect the later rather than the former.
“Considering that spiders can already make really impressive geometric designs with their webs, it’s no surprise that they can take that leap to make an impressive design with debris and other things,”
Sure, but what is more interesting is how such a spider would know what itself looks like.
I've heard a black hole's singularity defined as 'infinitely dense and infinitely small'; I don't think such a thing can be said to 'grow'; however, as the density increases I think that the Event Horizon expands outward increasing the diameter of 'black' so the answer to your question may be yes.
I'm not interested in signing up to check it out. No need though as there is a quick high level overview here: http://www.f-i.com/google/ramayana/
Judging by the details of the post I'd say it does not.
Start cultivating offers now. If your current pay checks are still clearing you don't have to move in great haste. If you get an attractive offer: be as professional as you can but move on; offer to work hourly, if you can muster it, and on board new employees / contractors. Give as much notice as you think is prudent considering your new employers. If you were still enthused my advice would be different; I've spent enough time in start-ups without direction to know how frustrating and exhausting it can be. Don't languish for the sake of a broken organisation, find a healthy one and move on. I sympathise with caring about the welfare of your current employers but you can't do their job and yours at the same time.
I had similar thoughts while reading the article. If the market is rewarding people who are not creating long term value, where does that leave innovators that do?
I'd rather have the old stuff removed in an obvious way rather then have my machine attempt to 'fool' me into thinking that it was still running along as expected, meanwhile I'm hunting for inexplicable bugs and performance penalties introduced by the open JDK. Even worse is to leave it and 'fool' me into thinking the old packages are still being updated only so that I can find out sometime later that my machine is now part of a bot net. Bottom line is removing it and forcing everyone to transition is the most obvious way for users and administrators to deal with what has obviously become a problem. With this news people will have to make a slight change in how they deploy Java apps. it's better to confront them with that choice rather then hide it from them.
Here is a direct link to the youtube video. The video in page on Marshall's site wouldn't load for me:
Ah. You may want to double check that:

Maybe your the victim of a Phishing attack or something, for example maybe a fake site told you you had to use 4 digits.
Honestly I've heard of a lot worse then this:

If by real you mean yours fine; however, your projects are not everyone's. If you'd like you could respond with specific cases you've used javascript for system or server level programming.
I agree that js does support the async paradigm for the reason you mentioned; however, at the risk of sounding like I'm speaking for the op js would not be my first choice for system or server side programming. The simple reason being that javascript's behavior is often near inexplicable, many examples can be found here: http://wtfjs.com. I'm tolerant of that strangeness while manipulating the DOM but really only because there are no other choices.
That is an excellent point. I have many second and third generation friends who's grandparents, and even parents have only assimilated local culture when absolutely necessary. Their children however are as 'home grown' as you like, to the point where most laugh at their for-bearers (reverse?) xenophobic behavior. This is a phenomenon not exclusive to people from the far east either. The same can be said for many families I know from eastern Europe and the Middle East.
There is a very informative overview (video presentation) of this model at Ted:
http://www.ted.com/talks/shai_agassi_on_electric_cars.html
by the Better Place CEO Shai Agassi.
CCP's CEO is acknowledging that he was, in his words:
I was impatient when I should have been cautious, defiant when I should have been conciliatory and arrogant when I should have been humble
He aims to resolve all the nonsense of the last few months by:
doing what we say and saying what we do
He addresses and apologies for all the ways CCP seemed to have become EvilCorp™ over the last few months.
Fantastic. Thanks for that. Any idea if the whole talk is going to make it online soon? I'd be very interested in watching it.
You may have hit on how they could go about making money even after they open source webOS. "Here is the source. Do what you will; if you make money, expect to pay royalties under the following terms". If none of the 'old guard' licenses work for them, they could tailor a new license to their purpose.
I don't think that such an arrangement is in HP's character; however, letting the investment die seems foolish in any case.
Amazon is only showing the price after the item is in your cart:

Does that not circumvention services like that?
Sure, but how does mothballing WebOS make them any money?
The pervading opinion I've seen over the years is that University degrees are mainly arbitrary hurdles for professional jobs. I don't necessarily agree, but that is besides my point. If people at large really think University is an extravagant waste then we are now in a position, to do as the op suggests, and implement the technology to "fix" that "problem". Technology optimizes many other areas, even ones as deeply entrenched as post secondary education. It's not as if we will have to throw all the tenure profs. to the wolves either, someone is going to have to be curator of the online material after all. Things change, sometimes even in academia.
I'm not clear as to if you were trying for irony with that statement so I'll call you on it:
Seriously, I doubt it's 5%
...they should at least make up numbers that are marginally ...
If your going to mock someone for "making up" numbers try not to make up numbers of your own in the same post. The op provided data, you did not. Unless you were going for irony; in that case, well never mind.
I really hope WebOS finds safe harbor. We lost Maemo or Meego or whatever it's (was) called last week and now this. The players are dropping out too early. Maybe the iPad "won" but the space will be big enough to support other players. I want more choices at this early stage, not fewer.
Available on youtube:
Can someone explain why this was down-voted? Opening with the somewhat inflammatory remark about Redmond might not have been the best choice; however, I thought it was well argued none the less.
I had to look it up: it's pronounced "cee omega" according to Wikipedia.
Care to elaborate a little? I'll settle for links to previous posts if you have them.
Agreed. This seems like win win all around. If you want Banshee to take more of the cake, patch in their affiliate code or throw your own affiliate code in there if you want ... actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea ...
