So the offering is slated to last only a couple weeks and there's seemingly no way to identify which locations are included. Am I missing something, or is this really just a lot of hot air?

Pictures of faces and buildings with which we aren't acquainted likely remain abstract to most people; however, a remote system that was directly related to a person's daily work is something concrete. It doesn't take much of an imagination

It's okay, because someone else is building the production artifacts and they're using a different tool. </sarcasm> I have a Jenkins install on a "found" server (belonged to a project that no longer exists, never gave the server bac

Show me one large organization that does project automation well. I'm literally not permitted to build my projects with Maven at work (this does seem to be Maven-ized), and I suspect I'm far from the only Java developer in that boat.

Whacko-nutjob theory alert: Could Twitter have possibly financed this operation, using HootSuite as a surrogate for shutting down Seesmic? Could this be the beginning of a series of "accuclosures" in the Twitter client world?

3/2 in favor of Google. I was surprised by how similar the results were, and by what I apparently considered important about search results.

On Chrome 21 + Linux I see the images tilt backwards and fade off into the background as I scroll down. Obviously intended to emulate the scrolling prologue at the start of each Star Wars movie.

Yes, but how far is this from just using standard/college/quad ruled paper in the first place? Requiring special paper automatically limits the feature's utility. Once their "limited edition" notebooks sell out this feature immediately begi

The article states plainly that this is likely due to heavy investment from the porn industry to protect their revenue streams. Religious organizations aren't typically for-profit ventures, so with less at stake doesn't this kinda make sens

Cool, I signed up. One thing to consider though would be to allow at some point different licenses for different images. I just inadvertently licensed some pictures of my daughter as attrib-share-alike. Admittedly my mistake, but it would b

Some entity must commit funds to storing and keeping those archives available. I understand your concern, but no one company or government is more or less likely to do something folish with those archives than any other.

Everything about this seems contrary to Apple's image. Particularly, I'm struck by the comment suggesting that Apple Stores need to learn to run leaner, "even if the customer experience suffers." That's such a bizarre statement for any cons

Meta: I clicked on the link to the story, got an "intro page" which was really just a giant advertisement, and was ultimately shown their main story index (rather than the article itself). What a complete and utter failure.

I considered that, and I normally ignore ExtremeTech articles because I think they're usually blogspam. This article actualy seemed to backup its own point. Sure, sensation makes for a good read and no one (most especially myself) is immune

This type of reaction isn't uncommon these days. No matter what the outlet, be it a lobbying organization like the Authors Guild or a tech news site like TechCrunch, people read looking to have an emotional response. This was demonstrated,

There's a big difference between "uncommon" and "untried". Fact is, most of what Apple has popularized with their line of iDevices has already failed previously in the market. This just proves Apple's ability to iterate, perfect, and market

Is it really a security hole? Or does it just get us as close as possible to where we are now?

Even without GA (which, if you have an Android or iPhone, I don't see why you'd have to be without) $0.20 a month seems an incredibly small price to pay for the benefit of 2-factor auth.

No, policies aren't inherently bad, but wide-sweeping policy changes for perceived problems or in response to relatively few bad actors are company killers. You might not see it right away, but your people who have options will leave you

I'd probably argue that most private industry infrastructure efforts are decidedly not free markets. Given the politics involved in building out large utilities, governments tend to get heavily involved. Around the country this has result

I don't think that's what he said at all. I read it as a criticism of a bad premise. Do you mean to imply that there is so such thing?

Reading this I'm reminded of the movie Network. A major network producer sees the value of producing original "disaster porn" (my term, not from the film) for public consumption in a television news magazine. Only here we see that a one-hou

Screenshots are great; however, that particular screenshot could have been heavily redacted for the benefit of those reading in a professional environment.

How is it that a victim, who had no involvement in the agreement reached, be bound by said agreement? This seems a significant failing of the justice system.

I'm really not sold on this. Something that could be delivered exclusively to the device is now inexorably tied to a piece of paper--scratch that; many, many sheets of paper.
