Not having any backup is, for a technically capable user, indefensible.

There are many listener supported radio stations in single markets. e.g. WBUR, WGBH, and WBAI in Boston.

Amazing cases. Hope little brother continues to root out police abuse of citizens.

Less a competive thing. More a looking at what Apple is doing and why and then taking what they think will work better. Validates Apple's approach.

Did MS ever make much money on upgrades?

Nope. Credit score is about the ability to repay in the US. Parent doesn't know what he is talking about.

However credit cart companies do like you better if you are the type to 'slip up', mortgage lenders not so much.

You should get one from Craig's list.

The public was not that excited about space in the 60s either.

Dan seems conflicted over how it went down, but I'm left feeling this statement shows he is quite angry with John and begrudges how John handled things (no last show and re-using the show name). I disagree this is a 'classy' statement (because of the criticism of his ex-co-host).

I think its trying to be a straightforward telling of Dan's perspective without him being too emotional. I think its pretty good for that. Would love for all parties to to be as open and honest as they can as it will make for compelling radio!

Disclosure: I'm a $5 a month subscriber to 5by5, a Gruber fan, and a big fan of Let's Make Mistakes (and Mike in general).

Apple could make this much more obvious than it is. Would be a good improvement to the app store.

I think since the data is open if SO goes of the rails in the future someone can take the data and relaunch a new site and compete.

I always opt out. I fly ~6 times a year (so twelve trips through security). Different airports are different. SFO is the worst I have dealt with. I get questioned by that security gate about why I am opting out in an agressive manner.

My real reason of opting out is to slow down the whole operation more than health concerns. Sometimes the pat downs are actually relaxing (like some sort of strange spa treatment). Sometimes they are rough when going up the leg until they meet resistance...but most of the time they are gentle.

Both times I've done this I just left my locked car at their place while I took their car to get checked out. It was no big deal. Set up an appointment with them and an appointment with the mechanic so everyone is ready to go!

This article is without merit. The author's logic train derails shortly after leaving the station.

Without removing the hardware there is no way to prevent someone with remote root access from recording audio from any input regardless of settings. This is true of any machine that has audio inputs and drivers loaded for those devices.

So hard to give up gmail habit though...

This is the most important lesson here. I've heard too many stories that end badly and I've learned this the hard way myself.

It seems like Amazon acts as a bully more often than not. Reminds of the Frontline about Walmart.

Union knowledge workers. Outside of healthcare do they exist in the US?

The underlying point of the piece from the daily show remains intact. That these applications are designed is a predictory way.

I'm really interested to see if this means WebOS would compete with Android in a meaningful way. Google puts a lot of work into outreach/support/evangelism to handset makers and I think also carriers. Android's big because of being open, but also because of all of the efforts Google is making. HP is not really known for being reliable lately in their strategic direction... My prediction (for all that is worth) is that this doesn't change the landscape very much.

Totally interesting. Can't wait to see what happens.

I wonder what the "tax" on products I buy from Apple or Google's partners are by all these shenagens are. Do I pay $.10, $1, $10 of my iPad 2 price to help fund all this nonsense?

Painting with a big of a broad brush I think.

A misquote getting corrected in less than a day and getting noticed by a news site which is frequented by the folks who would have seen the original misquote seems pretty good to me.

IMHO I love the current state of tech press (of which Hacker New's is a big part of for my consumption). I feel its much better than it was 10 years ago.

This is sorta consumerist.com's model.

How come I can watch tv during this whole time if this is the reason?

Lame dogma. Let the guy have his own voice.

I don't know, but in the US don't a lot of states have stalking laws that would cover this kind of behavior.

I see this site has info by state. Dunno if this kind of thing exists in Australia...

I think there are two very different sides to perl culture. About ten years ago I worked on a OO Perl project which was ~10k lines. It had coding standards, test suites, documentation, and was easy to maintain and bring new engineers into.

The other side is hacked together scripts. Which have their place, but are often a mess.

In Cambridge, MA the police have been enforcing traffic laws with bikers. Dunno what effect it has had, but enforcement, IMHO, as a place in getting bikers to obey the traffic laws.

Drivers, on the whole, behave pretty badly too. As a driver, biker, and pedestrian in the Boston area I don't think I would say any of those groups act better than others.

Would love separated bike lanes. Biking in the city is very satisfying, but also nerve racking for me.

It went through a bad patch a few years ago. For more than a year now it has been rock solid for me.

Here is open source software with a great UI and because of being open source had a resurgence. What a great story and a great piece of software.

Marco's show is still very young. Making it short or more focused wouldn't allow it to develop as quickly (the man needs more hours not less). I still very much enjoy the show and think Marco is more free than he used to be and more enjoyable as a result. I think Marco's value or not an a good talk radio host is not in the more focused show.

Hypercritical is a more focused and is a great show in its own right.

As Dan would say "Sorry to lose you as a listener".

You may be being down-voted because of hyperbole rather than disagreement...
