For developers interested in a Lisp that cooperates with Objective-C (and C), I always recommend Nu -- http://programming.nu.

Every couple of weeks, ejabberd will attempt to eat all of the RAMs. Scheduling restarts was easier than trying to figure out why that was happening.
Since switching to prosody, we've seen much better stability.
There are a lot of fingers in that pie. Oracle, for example, has a National Security Group, whose job is to come up with "solutions" and then try to sell them to three-letter-agencies.
openssl rand 48 -base64It won't work on Customs and Immigration. When you're talking to them you're not "in the US" yet. After that, yes, the privilege against self-incrimination is granted to everyone in the United States, citizen or not.
> And I wonder if this also works for the Dutch police.
The privilege in question is considered an essential component of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution. Most other countries based on English common law have something similar. You'll have to look for parallel support within the Dutch legal system.
Have you ever ordered anything off Amazon? Did you declare and pay the appropriate use taxes for what you bought? Did you ever discuss with anyone that buying things off Amazon meant there was no tax?
Depending on where you live, that's tax fraud and conspiracy to commit. If you had the discussion over email or on a message board, then it's an inter-state crime...
The Internet has no default port; 80 is for HTTP. If the port is omitted, then the default for the scheme[1] is assumed.

Those are not mutually exclusive.
I don't know. How would you test that hypothesis?
My unfounded speculation is that, like genetic diversity helps produce a healthy and robust organism, so does diversity of perspective make an organization more fit to respond to a variety of conditions.
That may or may not be of value, depending on the goals of the organization.
You're wrong.
Wordpad on Windows and TextEdit on OS X can open .odt files. I've just tested in Mountain Lion and Windows 7 to verify it.
Lots of people will have _some_ photos that would be a bad idea to post on Flickr. Anyone with children, for example, will certainly have photos that obviously shouldn't appear on a public website.
Which means there's a very large set of people who can't save _everything_ on Flickr, and since the original post said 'I have ditched iPhoto as my archiving software', it seems completely relevant.
You already can --

Someone between you and that unsecured web page could've changed the .onion address and when you went there you would be visiting a Strongbox hosted by the NSA rather than one for The New Yorker.
It may be awesome, but I'd say "soon" is a pretty optimistic timeline.
Our testing pretty conclusively demonstrated that btrfs was still a long way from production-ready; We've seen numerous problems with deadlocks; Filling up a filesystem pretty much ruins it forever -- And these are not new problems.
It depends on the particulars of the accusation, but probably not.
Saying "I think you killed her" is a statement of opinion. If that is an opinion the speaker legitimately holds, then it would probably not be considered libel. Generally libel needs to be both false and malicious.
Proving malice is hard, so libel/slander is usually a difficult case to win. That's one of the things that makes it different than other venues, where intent (and sometimes even falsity) are not required.
Sysadmins being lazy.
Somebody needs to get a file from a workstation to a remote machine. There's a firewall in the way somewhere that prevents SSH directly between them or one of them is a Windows box that isn't running an SSH server.
The "correct" solution is complicated and takes 5 minutes to setup. So the sysadmin just copies the file to the web server and downloads it with a browser on the other end. Because port 80 is always open.
That's not 'I', it's '|' -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARRS
I don't see any obfuscation happening in the emails shown in this article. Rather, the article's suggestions give even more emphasis to the text.
"Grr HTML bad" is not a very defensible position.
> In my mind, email, or text communication, is not about presentation but is about textual content.
It was recognized before email even existed that presentation is fundamental to textual communication. Cf. the works of Jan Tschichold and Marshall McLuhan to pick two arbitrary examples.
Wolfram Alpha says[1] that's ~$90 today.

I agree with this, but it's getting pretty hard. I've got an HP Laserjet 4 -- It's a brute; A beautiful work of functionality which I expect to be able to hand down onto my children when I pass. Hopefully somebody is still making consumables for it then.
There are now 20x more products in the same inflation-adjusted price bracket, but most are over-featured and over-marketed garbage.
That chart is a serious oversimplification of the actual process. Even knowing which steps to take and which forms to fill out -- among many with similar, obtusely worded instructions -- takes much more effort than following a flow chart.
It's even more complicated because the feedback loop is vague and it _very_ slow. If you fill out a form wrong, or don't include the correct supplemental materials -- which, again, are described in a language which somewhat resembles, but really isn't, regular English -- then (1) you will be waiting weeks or months to find out, (2) a mistake could result in outright rejection, and (3) if you're not rejected, then any explanation of deficiency you may get will be, again, vague and bureaucratic.
My opinion is based on my own experience with the short paths on that chart: I married a non-American. I can only imagine what it's like for those on the other routes.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#EGCS_fo...
It's not a particularly unusual belief, really. All cultures have an in-group/out-group division. OP is just missing traits this specific test requires.
I somewhat disagree.
That type of "reverse genocide" only works in East Asia. One of the reasons for the ongoing conflict in Xinjiang is that the local Uyghur, Kyrgyz, et al. don't look Chinese and don't pay any lip service to the "superiority" of Han culture.
> If your children do no look "Chinese", they will not be considered as chinese.
And this is the reason why.
Even though their mother is 100% Han, my own children easily pass as average WASPs. No matter how long they live in China, no matter how fluent they are in Mandarin, they will never be accepted as Chinese by anyone other than her relatives.
You're sorry he took offence? That's a pretty passive-aggressive apology isn't it?
You used the phrase wrong. He corrected you. I don't think you're allowed to claim any high ground here.
> I do feel that forcing Apple to link to a competitor, and advertise for them, is a form of punishment though.
That's supposed to be the whole point, I think.
That's about a likely to happen on your phone as any given website is to have secure password handling, eh?
