Is there a place I can see these plan changes?

Why couldn't it be? I doubt he needed an actual security clearance to do the work he was doing. The stated "FBI Clearance" probably just amounted to being given access to some confidential records regarding the people he was treating which probably aren't classified.

I hope you're drinking black tea. ISO 3103 ruins most oolongs and just about all greens. :(

This is arguing the ends justify the means. Allow me to quote a relevant section of the article as to why this is a bad idea.

> Appealing to capital to enforce one’s political agenda (no matter how noble that agenda might be) implicitly places that agenda as reliant upon and subject to capital itself. It’s just plain bad politics.

> ...it sets a terrible precedent. It expands the role of the employer to managing the totality of our lives, rather than limiting that influence to our professional lives. It changes us from professionals into frightened children.

Pencils have a bad habit of smearing if you put sheets together.

Nothing surprising in this. People are using an automated online marketplace to sell illegal goods. Online marketplace takes down products when they are reported.

It's a game of whack-a-mole and Amazon is doing the bare minimum. The company has no incentive to do otherwise.

I'm pretty sure that was a joke. :)

On iOS you can do 3 out of the 4 without even unlocking the phone.

For weather and calendar, swipe down from the top to show the notification center.

For music control, swipe up from the bottom to show control center.

Tube status... sorry, you'll need to open an app.

And how to most people get to the open web? Google. By a huge margin. I see numbers ranging from 66% to 90% depending on how you measure it.

Interesting. This wasn't available back in February.

I considered Discourse since I am very familiar with rails but adding the features I required would have taken more time than I had back then.

Discourse lacks an integrated calendar. Also, forum notifications aren't sufficient when I want to set a weekly events newletter to people that haven't read the forum recently.

Google calendar would require double entry. Right now the calendar links directly to forum posts and can be created, edited, and deleted at the same time. There is also an issue of moderator training if the site gets larger or someone else takes over after me.

It doesn't look like bitcointalk.org is using the calendar feature. :(

Unfortunately, forums with decent security, forums that are free, and forums that have the features you are looking for are groups that rarely overlap.

SMF was the only viable option for a forum I started. My requirements were

    1. An events calendar
    2. Discussion boards with varying permissions
    3. Tiered membership 
    4. Automatic events newletter
    5. Costs less than $10/month to host
    6. Takes less than 2 hours/month of technical work to run
    7. Can be set up and running in less than 40 hours.
    8. Can be run/hosted by someone else if I'm no longer have time to manage the site.

I'd write my own but there's only so much time available in a day. I'll be looking into a way to add bcrypt hashing to SMF as a plugin. Not an easy thing to solve.

Edit: "newsletter" isn't the same thing as forum reply notifications.

Edit2: Added requirement #8.

You can't put systemd code behind a compile flag?

While I've observed this is true for most people, it isn't true for everyone.

I'd rather be correct than be right. It's one of the characteristics of people with a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator of INTJ. (And perhaps a few others.) I've also heard it called "strong opinions, weakly held" before.

I'm pretty sure both those with this characteristic and those without it spent a fair amount of time being greatly annoyed with eachother.

I don't find it slippery.

Except that Chrome is available on all of my devices.

It's not worth the effort to edit wikipedia.

When delicious was created, there was no way to sync bookmarks via "the cloud" like browsers do now.

Good point, I'll need to modify the redirect to disallow multiple slashes at the beginning.

That should be something like /\A(http(s?):\/\/#{request.host_with_port}|\/\Z|\/[^\/])/

If anyone is interested, I've got a set of helper functions for redirects. https://github.com/epochwolf/litsocial/blob/master/app/lib/c...

Interesting. I've never seen this before and the only references I've been able to find on it in a quick search was a compiz setting in 12.04.

Is this built in to the stock ubuntu releases? If so, what version?

I disagree. The reference why Apple added Full Screen.

Why did Apple make a Full Screen feature in their operating system? Minimalism and simplicity.

Why does Firefox have a fullscreen option? Because most browsers had that option and it's a useful feature once in a while. Not a compelling reference.

You're being downvoted because you are incorrect. Ubuntu GNOME does not have an equivalent of OS X full screen build in to the windowing system. It has a maximize button that doesn't remove the chrome, it just makes the window take up the most of the screen. In OS X, there is no window. The app is completely edge to edge similar like an iOS app except without the status bar.

Edit:

Ubuntu "Fullscreen": http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EnulBlkjTEM/Tzo7Fo3l3uI/AAAAAAAAHw...

OS X Fullscreen: http://www3.pcmag.com/media/images/237835-iphoto-11-albums-i...

OS X's full screen apps aren't maximzed windows. If I put Sublime into full screen mode, there's no window, no menu bar. It's a text editor taking up the entire screen.

If I were to maximize Sublime on Windows, Linux, or OS X (green button), you still have the chrome from the windowing system and the OS's menu bars.

Also, the parent comment makes no claim Apple invented anything, he/she is just drawing a comparison people would be familiar with. Frankly, it's more than a little annoying to me that you have to distract from the topic to make completely non-constructive dig at a company you seem to dislike and completely miss the point of the comparison in doing so.

Could you elaborate on how this is making the situation worse rather than better?

I think I should point out this is a fireable offense in a number of companies. I work with sensitive information every day. I'm pretty sure if allowed someone outside the company to use my machine for anything, I would be fired.

My dad works for IBM doing mainframe repair and installation. He's seen his coworkers fired for allowing unauthorized individuals to use their company laptops. They've gone even further in the last few years in making unauthorized software a fireable offense.

Granted, two data points isn't a lot but there are companies that have enforced policies to prevent sensitive information from leaking.

I should also point out both my dad and I do significant amounts of work from home and we are both required by our companies to use full disk encryption.

If you have a mac, you can right click on any word and choose "Look up in dictionary". The dictionary pulls definitions from it's internal dictionary and wikipedia.
