While the rebuttal makes good points, it still misses what the law is really about and why it isn't a step in the right direction at all. It's about prosecuting small-time drug dealers. Except now anyone caught exceeding the above limits of personal use is a drug dealer. The limits are so arbitrary they're laughable. I mean 5 grams of pot could keep you high for days or just give you a bad head ache, 40 mg of mdma? How much is that? the kid at the club only sells it by the pill.
TBF, it seems you could make yourself a pretty crazy personal party kit and stay under the legal limit. Too bad the kid caught with just a 10 mg bag of crappy pot will get a really hard time at the police station though.
what's wrong is its a lame article. It's uninteresting, makes no sense and encourages no worthwhile discussion. It just makes this site look dumb basically. I'm encouraging everyone I can to flag it, sadly it's over that 10 votes limit for automatic killing so hopefully a mod will take note.
A 'regular internet user' doesn't even bother with the settings and/or is probably unaware of localization of search results. This doesn't mean she wouldn't get better results by searching without localization (assuming she's an english speaker).
What's worst is google for some reason changes back the settings to localized at what appear to be random intervals. The only definite working solution I've found is to use a US IP address to proxy from.
You're assuming things that could be very well not be true. Maybe he would have gotten the same offer if he just showed up empty handed and maybe your imaginary poker player would have folded regardless of your aggressiveness. Believing the effort didn't all go to waste sure feels better though.
Why the need to include the time it took you to build? I've seen it done more than a few times and I've always found it annoying. No one cares, TBH. Let people appreciate your work for what it is. Kudos on the project though.
>Yes, the difference is between Joe User who just wants to read the news in his RSS reader rather than in a browser window, and Jane Website who takes the content and republishes it to her own users with her own ads pasted over the top
And where does that leave services like google reader? If they decided to start using ads, in which of the two groups would you put them?
RSS readers are relatively new and will probably evolve in unpredictable ways. The distinction between what is a "feed reader" and what is a "web site" is already outdated.
I don't think that's the original problem at all. the original problem was simply aggregating a bunch of feeds into one page. I use my feed reader a lot and have no problems with using the "mark all as read" button every so often.
There is no suppression of free press in mexico by the military of otherwise. The state is in no way collapsing, no one here seriously thinks that, you are being misinformed. I have no love for the military, I think the drug wars are a terrible thing and I have no particular reason to defend the current government but the situation is nothing like what's portrayed on this article.
Yes, I'm saying there is no problem with suppression of dissent. I can't say no reporters have ever disappeared in Juarez, as I can't say no bartenders have ever disappeared there either. Juarez is a dangerous town ruled by narco-gangs. I'm saying it's not something common in Mexico; reporters aren't normally scared for their life or anything of the sort. As I said, just pick up any random Mexican newspaper, there is a fair chance you will read criticisms of every government branch, the police, and the military. The part at the end where the reporter explains how the military is in control of the government is especially ridiculous.
It's not enlightening at all, this is exactly the kind of thing that puts me off about the media. Like noticing terrible mistakes on a note on some technology you really grok, reading articles like these makes me reconsider what I've read regarding other international issues (e.g. Iran). There are many things stated as fact here that are simply not true. Freedom of the press, for example, is very much alive. Reporters are not afraid of the police or the government, just pick up any random national newspaper.
Certificate authorization alone may not protect you from 0-day exploits to your ssh server. Not all port knockers use that pinging ports combination technique. Again, I recommend a look at fwknop which addresses your concerns by using certificates actually.
A histogram of votes/diggs/etc where each story title is a bar in the histogram. I didn't get it at first but if you look at the delicious pic you can see clearly how it works with the tags sidebar.
I don't understand why this is interesting. Would adding any other infinite series using that same "fashion" not result in a sum which converges to some number? why is 1/89 special? Is it that the reciprocal of the infinite decimal expansion is an int?
Allegedly because you'd get access to iTunes customers. Many of whom already have their credit card on the account, which probably makes things easier for the customer and for you. Also because your competition will be there. In any case, I'm not saying this has to be a sweet deal for developers or that it would necessarily be a success.
But that's not a package manager. Think macports with a pretty UI and servers in Cupertino. And yes, apple would surely be happy with the sales commissions and tightening developer control.
Funny no mention of an app store for desktop apps. It seems obvious this would be the next strategic step for iTunes. As it is, OSX is in dire need of a package manager.
