A clear overreach by the FBI, very clumsily handled. Also not all that interesting to the locals. Try issues where lives or large sums of money are involved.

You don't think it's true? Have you in your lifetime ever experienced your government go against US interests, even when it's very clear that doing so is in the interest of the people they govern?

Switzerland is not in the EU. They're not even an EEA member.

You have to realize that small countries in the west, like Sweden, Denmark and Norway, are de facto ruled by the US. All important decisions have to go by the embassy, and when told to jump, they will ask how high.

It's always a bit amusing hearing outsiders refer to Scandinavia as 'socialist'. This is very far from the truth.

In Norway, the Labour party has been in power for much of the last hundred years, seems reasonable that it would be quite the socialist haven. In reality, in the last fifty years, anyone rising to power in the Labour party has had to be pre-approved by the CIA (well documented in e.g. self biographies of the people involved).

As it turns out, unsurprisingly, this has not been very conducive to any form of socialism.

I think that's a very good point. When I was growing up in Norway, the 'others' were always far away. We were all so similar, in so many ways, it was very difficult to pit us against each other.

After 30-40 years of immigration, we're now much more heterogeneous and the solidarity and feeling of community is almost gone.

When I was growing up, we were taught in school that 'it must never happen again'. It's almost funny how violently people here cling to this understanding of WWII while at the same time seeming to accept all the 'this is who you should hate today' that the media here is peddling now.

A previously open and trusting society, experiencing real cultural clashes, mixed with misunderstandings and fear. This is unfortunately the perfect scenario for some real dark forces to appear, and I think it's not very long until it really goes off the rails here.

An example where the FBI did just that in the UK:

Ever expanding bureaucracy is a problem, and the EU has a track record of turning several truly idiotic ideas into law. But people discussing EU regulations should be aware that the level of bullshit and outright lies coming out of the UK press in this regard is staggering.

Looking at the source for the page, the HTML is clean and there is nothing particularly fancy or out of the ordinary about the CSS. It does use semantic HTML (menu, section, nav, etc.), but that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm really curious as to what browser that is, seems like you have triggered some weird bug.

> Order of magnitude

Are general purpose operating systems really that inefficient?

I've thought about "boot into JVM" before, and I think it's enticing for technologists since it's so "clean", but all the projects aiming for this seems to have died from lack of interest (e.g. BEA Virtual JVM/JRockit Virtual Edition).

> specialized apps have a lot to gain from running on more specialized platforms

Guess there could be some gains, but a lot? Enough to bother with?

What about hardware support?

Just an observation on my part. Americans who call themselves libertarian often seem to be reflexively pro-corporate, even when it flies right in the face of their professed ideals.

Yeah, Beastie Boys are huge, but Eminem is a superstar.

Regarding color, I think you're at least a decade late. Eminem released The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Then you got Beastie Boys, Aesop Rock, El-P, Atmosphere, etc.

I'm always amazed at what Americans let slide of governmental abuse as long as big private companies profit. I find it difficult to comprehend that even hard core libertarians will defend laws like these.

> As someone who gets what they are doing

Are you serious?

Because $HOME/bin is in the path? I always put stuff in $HOME/bin, $HOME/opt, $HOME/etc, etc. if its something that would work equally well mounted somewhere else. In this case it would just require a Linux with VirtualBox installed.

If you willingly put your name on something, you have editorial responsibility.

> My current is very strong at times, and we can work better without the batteries, as the Aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately, making current too strong at times for our relay magnets

Fascinating indeed. I wonder exactly what kind of impact a similar storm would have today.

> Some glorious day in the future, jQuery 2.0 will be the only version you’ll need; until then we’ll continue to maintain jQuery 1.9

The benefit is that if you're targeting mobile only, you can use the optimized 2.0. For other use case there's still going to be 1.9.

Isn't that a tad black and white?

Have you tried the Scala Worksheet for Eclipse? Pretty cool.

I see that the recently released IDEA 12 has a similar feature (but so far incomplete and undocumented according to their bug tracker).

I'm a long time Debian user and always use apt-get, but I just used the USS for the first time to buy Sword & Sworcery to have something to play for the holiday. Painless purchase and one click installation.

Chose that game after seeing it in the Steam client, but wasn't able to buy it for Linux there.

Great game by the way.

As the first couple of comments on that page says, it's a high chance that this is due to problems with power management in the open-source Radeon driver.

I've been running Debian and Ubuntu on lots of different laptops the last fifteen years, and only ever had problems with overheating on laptops with AMD/ATI graphics and the Radeon driver. If the graphics chip is current enough, installing the proprietary Catalyst driver should fix the problem.

> the day that we turned on Netscape. It turns out we didn't have enough server capacity, so we turned down Google so that we could serve the traffic from Netscape.

What is this referring to?

It's not difficult to understand what Tor is.

Given the job description and circumstances, what is a judge supposed to do in this situation? There are deeper issues here.

For the record, I've considered running an exit node in the past when I had the bandwidth available.

That looks like it. Too bad there's no websocket support in Firebug.

There is a Scala.NET (http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~magarcia/ScalaNET/) project by the way.

Which VPS provider is this?
