no, Digg killed digg. They didn't listen to the community and they lost user data and did nothing to recover it, at least that was my experience after loosing several thousand diggs on my user account and then being reset to 0. You can't imagine the piss off.

yup, Microsoft and the companies issuing certificates have been at this for over a year, we had to get a certificate last year when we saw this issue.

It's a nice money maker for them getting all those yearly certificates, some charging several hundreds of dollars per year.

I don't understand the need for this company in the first place, (Anonymity when pirating?)

If you wanted to store BitTorrent downloads in Dropbox, all you gotta do is tell your torrent client to use your local dropbox folder as a save location...

I wish they also keep track of other diseases, maybe they can use the voice to detect more than Parkinson's

so I guess this guy won't like all the extra traffic he will get from G+, meh

The new logo is an homage to the BSOD

$150-$300, depends on client, complexity

their idea is good, but the way that it's executed trumps its growth.

instead of having people install this on their computer, they should make it instead so that sysadmins run nodes and put ads on their node search results.

the end user would just go to a .com site, and search. everyone running nodes make money, more nodes are installed. The network would be larger than google in a short amount of time.

wonder why the hell they haven't thought of this.

people aren't going to be typing http://localhost:port to make a search and keep an engine running, also uptime and firewall configurations leaves a lot of the desktop nodes out of the equation if they can't do NAT traversal to participate in the network.

me #facepalms to still see them doing this, going to yacy.net is the most frustrating thing ever to the curious non-techie user.

Firefox's Mozilla Foundation is probably the most valuable non-profit in the world right now.

Boy they have leverage.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

+100 to that

And the Techcrunch Troll is once at it again with another stupid post.

I guess Google doesn't need to care about SEO

This + Google recording every hangout video conversation to create a huge training data set... damn

that has got to be the most useful language benchmark of all times... for those that don't go past the "Hello World" step that is.

> It's our own government trying to create the illusion of a new terrorist threat, a new excuse for laws to control the internet (a-la Sarkozy).

So add to the list CIA.gov

WW3 is fought on the internets.

nice free intel work done for the Libyan government this very detailed gallery of the Rebel's arsenal.

I guess my Chinese government hypothesis is not that bad, WSJ thinks the same

what I meant was that this is how WW3 is done, online.

My dislike with cassandra is probably because of the user experience in facebook.

You post a comment or a picture and it's not consistent at all for all users. Comments will appear in the wrong order (responses before questions sometimes), or people won't see the pictures you posted until 4 to 5 hours later. With Google you just don't get that kind of things, ever.

Maybe it's only a problem for facebook due to its scale, maybe the replication rules they have set are a bit more strict and they will delay the process on purpose to avoid unnecessary writes (in case users want to delete content a few minutes later)

Then as a more psychotic/personal taste matter, I love the way MongoDB documentation is presented. Cassandra's documentation on MoinMoin looks so 2002 but that's something most people will live without any problems.

Please don't take my opinion about Cassandra seriously because I've not tried it at all. In our shop we tried Hadoop's HBase, then we tried MongoDB and since it worked for us we didn't keep trying (mostly because of what we think of Facebook as a technology company... php... their joke of an android api which made the news... our bad impression of hip hop [so long and so much resources to compile, at least when it came out], that when we saw Cassandra being used by facebook we just said no way, it's reputation was tainted by facebook in our eyes)

Is this the beginning of world war 3?

So the past couple of weeks I can remember the following sites getting pwned:

All Sony sites. GMail. The I.M.F. Citibank Pron.com Nintendo Epic Games Senate.gov

From all the high profile services hacked one can start making the following hypothesis:

> There's a major hole in the linux kernel or OS and they're just having so much fun with it.

> They have infiltrated all of these organizations and have people from within opening the doors

> They are the X-Men of hacking

> They're the Chinese government X-Men of hacking

> Or security on all of these websites really sucks

(Keep adding your hypothesis)

figuring out how to generate power cleanly and cheaply on every home in the world. A whole continent like Africa would surely have a great use for cheap+clean energy generation.

making self driving vehicles.

creating better battery technology.

figuring out a way to get rid of lawyers.

working on super intelligence.

brain computer interface (the one input mechanism that would do away without keyboards)

augmented reality projection straight to your visual cortex, no more computer monitors would only be the beginning of something like that.

robotics robotics robotics

space exploration

deep sea exploration

longevity research

...

why? getting stock options and getting rich when it goes IPO, that's why.

They'd be more likely to connect on StackOverflow or GitHub than Facebook.

Facebook is a place where you go to chill and waste time, connect with old friends, check pics of old crushes, catch up on gossip, play games, or share links.

The last thing you'd do there would be to search for another student, it's not built for that.

Cassandra, ha ha ha.

Gotta love how inconsistent that thing is.

HipHop, have you tried it? I think that technology only works for them.

religion == fanatism

Wonder how google would stay in business if this passed. How to stop the engine from knowing that it's indexing an illegal website?
