That's not at all the same case. Yes, it's Twitter and the Olympics, but this article is about a journalist who criticized NBC's coverage of the Olympics, named the executive responsible and cited his email address, and had his account y

The exciting thing about this for me is that they published their analysis code as well. [ http://berkeleyearth.org/our-code/ ] Now that's science !

I agree with his sentiment that this will fundamentally change education - but I have no idea who's going to take over things like certification of achievement and certification of course quality. Certainly Coursera doesn't have any plan f

Hungarian TV showed it straight through, no ads (and free) ( and live) but still had the damn commentators talking through all the music. Why do they think that adds anything? It drove me bananas.

It's worked in the United States . Random threats from your ISP works wonders. In the rest of the world, not so much.

So if you're not in the IT business, does that mean you don't have to do backups? Or does it mean that if you have computers, you damn well better understand the IT business and do it the same way the professionals do? In this case, Yelp's

Similarly, Yelp isn't in the accounting business, so they have no obligation to pay taxes or payroll. (If employees don't like it, they shouldn't work there.) By having a security policy, they are in the security business, and they're do

9/11 was a bee sting. Bush is the one that instituted the subsequent anaphylactic shock.

Although if you really think about it, what other option does yelp have. Have a competently professional security policy with recourse to appeal at the door if they're going to host events for people? Or, you know, just look like amateur

These are the same people whose patent claim addresses Mojang's well-known product Mindcraft , so a little illiteracy obviously isn't costing them much on the bottom line.

I'd also like to hear an expert's opinion, but isn't the entire point of a limited liability company to limit liability?

Which is why you would set up a subsidiary LLC in the United States, and dissolve it if it's sued.

Perl and Win32::OLE works pretty well, too, especially if you like archaeology.

I'm pretty sure it's Yahoo! that pulled the trigger.

Imagine the savings — in blood, tears and national treasure — if we had thought twice about whether we really wanted to invade Iraq. Says the New York Times. Says the New York Times . I'll tell you something, New York Times - some of us

The question is: did the dinner put you back into the red? If not, maybe it was warranted. :-)

That's insane. They're already freaking conditioned. Talk to my dad sometime.

Exactly. Route all DNS queries to your page saying "You've been infected by malware, which we fixed, but now you have to change your DNS pointers or have somebody else fix them". If I can think of that in two seconds, why can't the FBI?

Ah, but strong claims are a good tactic for eliciting fascinating responses like this one - thanks!

Humans survived with poor dental care by dying before their teeth were completely rotted. If you plan to live longer than about 50, you'd better brush.

Sure, you can't outsource your confidential data - that makes perfect sense to me. I was just wondering what would be involved in an Exchange replacement, because, you know, mail serving is pretty much a solved problem. Calendaring, thoug

A week ago I had seven dollars in the bank. Granted, that was after moving the household to Europe again and I do have accounts receivable, but financially I'm at the point where when I'm not actually underwater I feel successful. Having "

Shit, except for all the cool places he's worked in the tech industry and all the people he's met, and all the success he's had, and of course the fact he has a lot more money than I do, this guy is me . I hope to God I'm a late bloomer, t

The F-16 trainers out of Wright-Pat used to user our house as a target - they'd circle it sometimes. It was pretty neat.

This fascinates me. What does Exchange do that standard protocols don't? (In terms of email, I mean. I suppose Exchange also has calendaring and some workflow, right?)

Yeah, but I don't mind monopoly protection for something somebody worked a year on. Software patents are granted for many times the effective lifetime of a technology, for something you or I could do in a week based on ideas we've all had

Yeah, but who would enforce it? A class-action suit, maybe?
