Thanks for sharing the insight. A few months of work in exchange for some valuable lessons learned - well done.

I'd say the timing is a pretty strong indicator, although you're right, this isn't the same as proof.

"On June 29,2004, Cuban sold his remaining 590,000 Mamma.com shares during regular trading at an average cost per share of $13.2937.

On June 29,2004, at 6:00 p.m. after the markets had closed, Mamma.com publicly announced the PIPE offering."

My understanding of the SEC has evolved since I just finished the Snowball Warren Buffet book (http://www.amazon.com/Snowball-Warren-Buffett-Business-Life/...). There is a section that discusses his run in with the SEC and there is a behind the scenes discussion before charges are pressed (in WB's case, not pressed). I think Cuban has already had a chance to defend himself behind the scenes, and despite this the SEC is still deciding to prosecute. This has example written all over it.

Read the statement of facts in the PDF as well: (http://sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2008/comp20810.pdf). After reading it, chances seem slim that he's innocent.

Thanks for this one: "Store temporary files in a central spot Swap files and backups are annoying but can save you a lot of trouble. Rather than spreading them all around your filesystem, isolate them to a single directory"

Some supporting evidence would be helpful. I'm not familiar with his writing or criticism of it.

Sorry, this wasn't my intention. I didn't notice the #, and I think that #'s should be filtered.

A video of the offense in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJOm-IJcbg0

I posted page 3 because page 1 has already been previously posted, but didn't get modded up.

I'm reposting because I think it's a good read given the current situation.

Sorry for posting page 3. This is a repost, but I think it's appropriate at the moment.

Here is a diff between versions of the bill:

This way you don't have to keep hitting next.

When I said 'they' I was referring to Daring Fireball.

I'm not sure about in general, but I think they presented good supporting evidence in this case.

He also gave a convocation address (20 min mp3 interview): http://deshgujarat.com/2007/04/03/speech-by-sunil-bharti-mit...

I liked it, YMMV. He briefly mentions Microsoft and Google.

It's not that I haven't heard of it or macports, it's that I haven't really found a need until now.

Yeah, the other thing is that this is only a promotional offer good until August. The problem of the lack of competition in Canada and carriers being able to do whatever they want is unaddressed.

In case you're in the same boat as me: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/lynxt...

I can't believe it took me this long to realize it's not included.

Wil Shipley's blog is recommended reading, all the archives, all of it... great stuff. Well written, relevant and insightful.

Here is a staggering list of items Google definitely tracks: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-evil-side-of-google-exploring...

When I look under Medical Records and think of cross referencing potential I grow a little concerned.

The EFF link is much better than the TC one: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/court-ruling-will-expos...

"Google correctly argued that “the data should not be disclosed because of the users’ privacy concerns,” citing the VPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2710. However, the Court dismissed this argument with no analysis, stating “defendants cite no authority barring them from disclosing such information in civil discovery proceedings, and their privacy concerns are speculative.""

Anyone disagree that this is a good reason to stop using Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Mail/Google Docs/etc?

I agree, I posted the feature request here not too long ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=223238

I don't know, but whether they do or not shouldn't matter. They should design it so it can scale, 100k bookmarks is not really that big of a dataset for anyone, let alone G.

I don't see why they can't just fix this instead of asking him to revoke his plugin, especially if people are using it. It's needlessly removing a use case which may gain traction.

Of course they may know something I don't and which isn't mentioned in the article which makes doing any of this infeasible or undesirable.

"Whenever you use the web search, it checks it against your Google bookmarks. You can easily imagine what problems can come up when you have a several 10 or even 100 thousands of bookmarks…"

Am I mistaken to believe that unless they are using a poor algorithm, 100k bookmarks to add to their index shouldn't be a problem. What am I missing here?

Why is the parent being voted down?

Sure you may not agree with his idea and service suggestions but finding a creative solution to this problem wouldn't hurt. If I remember correctly, the hot or not guy did this (mentioned in Jessica's book). I don't have the book with me so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

For their sake, hopefully you (and others) do.

It might reverse the trend (pun intended).

Thanks. Would you mind moving the flag link location to not be on the rightmost edge? I think if you see below others also feel the same way. The right edge is the first place I instinctively click, and flag is the least likely use case.

How about an unflag toggle or an undo?

Unflag feature, after flagging. Alternatively, an undo flag link.
