The problem is the price is not set by the market, it is set by the record label and significant arm twisting. Support your favorite bands by sending them cheques if you obtain their album. The RIAA is the problem.

Also check out Band Camp for new unsigned artists. Great service and IMHO the future of the "record" industry.

I can't enjoy BBT. Just because you put smart words in a characters mouth, it doesn't make a smart comedy.

A petition has been created for more oversight.

I've been doing this for a couple of months to deal with anxiety, I can't recommend it enough.

Mostly because I know his opinion is based only on the "other sides" "political propaganda". And he probably wouldn't appreciate it, but it is always a good thing to read and educate yourself on the opposing view. If anything, to increase your resolve and have better points to argue your position.

Personally his opinion worries me. He claimed there was no reason for encryption in communication unless you are doing something "bad".

Sorry, I was on mobile, I thought it automatically jumped to the full site.

He has a book out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0300172311

Giving to my father for Christmas. He is in the "nothing to hide" camp.

Sp what was the huge tax break Obama offered Jobs, and Cook acted on it?

My biggest gripe about the ultrabook series is the dismal screen. I ended up purchasing an Asus Zenbook (1600x900) and lived with the quirky mouse issues (patches and such) until the newest kernel. Now Asus Zenbook Prime has upped the resolution to 1920x1080.

Hopefully enough people purchase this laptop for a gen2 to come out and by then hopefully 1600x900 or 1920x1080 on a 13.3" is the standard.

One comment, in the browse section put an indicator of how many projects are in each category.

For instance:

Python/Perl (0)

Cool site. Good luck!

I'm a big fan of Doane Paper. Lines AND Squares. http://doanepaper.com/

IMO this sort of thing is primitive after seeing easel.io last week.

I suppose I would have liked this when I was first learning, if just for the error messages. But I think, like any programming, part of the learning is running/viewing your program and figuring out why the output isn't what you expected. Maybe each error pointing to w3schools for more information would benefit the user.

why wouldn't you disable root login and only use sudo with command logging enabled.

EDIT: noticed the 'root', making a new assumption this is a windows server box.

At this rate, it would be faster to move everything over to a new harddrive.

Not if you don't care anything about the stock price or money. He just made 1.13 bln dollars for his company. If he invests it directly in fb related growth he no longer has to worry about what NASDAQ does. He's making fb independent of the media fluctuation or the fact that he has shareholders for all. The question becomes, what would you do if you you had a successful company and you were just given 1.13 bln dollars without any strings?

This is just a thought experiment, but I think fb brilliantly played wall-street and now has enough money to build an infrastructure. Internet advertising isn't creative, so what will the "next gen fb" look like? And is it worth investing in, speculating that it means nothing to them.

This is odd, only because every windows version since 2000 I have removed all skins and fluff. Optimizing the interface for best performance.

But I know I'm not the targeted audience.

Its the derivative works that I am worried about. But in context it may just be "thumbnails" or other things for searching content.

I came here to look for the obligatory 3 shells comment. :)

This illogical thinking is blowing my mind. Shouldn't MS be sued because the computers Bin Laden used had Windows installed? Or perhaps Dell for selling computers. The US government for funding the invention of the internet? Cell phone providers for creating communication links?

Nokia for giving Iran the software to block peaceful protests?

The hypocrisy is killing me.

This article really blew my mind on how robots could be used to circumvent Geneva convention polices. It is a testament the the human ingenuity of malice.

I didn't know this! This is fantastic. I'm glad to see he is pushing the envelope for both humor and distribution.

I bought it twice. Hopefully his next release will have a "pay what you want" model with $5 minimum.

Maybe pg could release a picture of a few months of Google analytics or the like on a map.

Wow, I've been blinded. I have never equated what Apple is doing with the app-store/"taxing" and the MS IE anti-trust case.

The empowerment of the censor. Scary words.

this syntax changing by changing the extension is really clever, is it in the haste-server codebase?

Welcome back, I am really interested to hear what "changes were made to the framework that [Adrian] would've prevented had [he] been more involved."

One of the things I think is keeping any desktop from being "the one" is the lack of true developer interoperability. You can program in gtk or qt (or many many others) but for a single distro your "best" programs span a number of different ways to do the same thing (and many flame wars).

This is the greatest thing about Linux, and its curse. In Windows you have the Windows API, in OSx you have Cocoa. Sure you can add more to the mix but most of it is the main API.

I enjoyed the direction gnome2 was going, slowly filling in the niches needed to create a complete system. Then it seems they scratched that and went with gnome3. I like a lot of things about gnome3, but I wish gnome2 would not be defunct.

The same goes for kde, slowly building a complete system of tools for most users.

Both gnome and kde are the reason people would choose gtk or qt for their development.

What Unity needs (and I am not sure if it is in the works) is a true Unity API. Build apps for Unity with Unity specifics. Of course this goes against the Linux way, but if one really wants "the year of Linux on the desktop" we have to stop being a moving target.

I completely agree.

I understand that tablets are a wonderfully portable device but you can't expect to get 100% desktop functionality. Sometimes you have to find the limit of your software/hardware.

I don't own an iPad, but is there git or the like? If so syncing and keeping track of changes would be simple.

It also isn't very good to have an "other" category of ~60M averaged when your three "main" are ~60M, ~4M and ~3M.

Terrible article.

I use Mathematica every day at work, I was not aware of the rich history Wolfram had with Jobs.
