I worked for the state of Florida and salaries were public. Did not really have an issue with that. Your salary falls within a bracket anyway so you won't be making more than another with similar experience and position.

Not completely true. Sure you can vote and do a few other things but other than that, under the law citizen's and people on US soil are the same. The constitution makes it clear. Basically if a non citizen gets arrested, he has the same rig

Yeah WebCL will be really useful at least for what I'm doing. I know they have a private list right now, hopefully they will open it up soon. One issue with WebCL is the device support. WebGL is capable of running of pretty much anything bu

I think this is what is being planned. Browser will ask you if you want to allow the app to use local storage (and hopefully give it a limit). If not large webgl games are going to be a pain if you have to wait 30 minutes to play. I'm not s

Yeah I think it's important to remember that the guy is pretty busy, probably gets more than one of these kind of emails (probably on both sides) a week. Also some of the hardcore free software crowd is pretty radical and these are the kind

Yep and He also was a one man reverse engineering army during the lisp machine war. His programming skills are really good. His personality is another thing.

His status has been earned. RMS did incredible programming work in the 70s,80s that I think entitles him to make comments (even if they are wrong).

I've seen this demo before but had to watch it again. Alan Key's incredible. He invented the iPad before Star Trek did :) It also reminded me that I should really get on with learning smalltalk. Also Brian Harvey's full class is pretty good

Depends on the country and how much pull you have with law enforcement I guess. In a country like Russia with a pretty successful organized crime cartel I don't think it's impossible to pull off.

All that's needed is physical access to the computer. Your computer account is not a real protection.

Personal Opinion follows, your millage may vary: Depends I heard (please correct me if I'm wrong) that Apple products in India are pricier and often a generation behind then I'd say no. I have one but I wouldn't buy a new one personally. Th

If this violates their ToS, they need to rethink their policies. There a ton of reason you might have an encrypted file in your dropbox. Like sharing it with a friend or holding it there because you are moving files around etc.

This is interesting because I've been working on a project that uses ArrayBuffers and I noticed an odd behavior while doing random read with Firefox 4 on Linux (issues does not occur on OSX). I hope more information and testing will come ou

Like the money I made in a foreign country last year, the gov will ask you to convert it to USD and use that to file you taxes. Income is income in whatever denomination it's in.

It's a cheaper way to do it but yeah it does have issues with weather and all. (cables getting cut by trees etc..) The major reason for not doing it underground is probably due to building rights and such which might be more trouble than th

You can use putty and firefox to do sock proxy on windows. When configuring a connection in Putty add a port for dynamic forwarding (under connection -> ssh -> tunnels, put something like 4999 in the source port, select the Dynamic

It should be called a privacy issue or something like that. I think the CEO wanted to avoid having his platform deemed insecure as in has security holes.

Well, as the article stated, many students from other degrees end up taking CS courses as part of their program and like them enough to switch. That's not necessarily related to the current potential bubble. I know many who took computer sc

yeah, that was the actual intent of Chrome as far as I understand it and it has worked. Look at Firefox 4, you can't say it wasn't influenced by Chrome. And the fact that Microsoft is now trying to move faster with IE10 already being annou

So, is it possible that the system is starting to show cracks where it might no longer scale very well at 307 million people. Maybe giving more powers to states could potentially work. I don't know if I like that more or less.
