I was looking forward to learning nginx, until I read this...

It's very nicely written and explains things well, but it doesn't so much teach nginx as it does point out all the contradictory and unexpected behaviors. That doesn't look fun to learn (or work with) at all.

Edit: I just looked in to agentzh's other project OpenResty, and I take everything back. It may be difficult, but it's extremely powerful, and seemingly worth dealing with the 'gotchas'.

I've heard of it being on applications before, or at least in the offer of employment. That's definitely in writing.

> iTunes (and many other companies) have already addressed this issue, they have solved the convenience part and people still pirate

iTunes still isn't the most convenient source for many things. My one experience with iTunes was trying to buy an album from a French musician. I spent several hours creating a fake French account with a legitimate French address and tracking down a French iTunes gift card. I had to give up, because the artist didn't take the time to manually check all 300 locales to include his album in.

You consider that 'solved'? The artist never got the money I was actively trying to give him.

Does this still exist? What an absolutely horrifying bug.

Do you know where in the source this is?

The article mentions 'learning to learn' amongst the benefits of going to college, but surely a programming 'superstar' who didn't go to college would know a hell of a lot more about learning on their own than someone who had a tutor all throughout their college years.

I didn't finish college specifically because I knew how to learn on my own. I acquired the skills necessary for my job on my own time.

I don't think the hardware spec will be fixed. The article seems to think it will be Android-like. Valve will give guidelines like 'must support OpenGL' and 'needs at least HDMI output and 6 USB ports', but if you want to spring for the Alienware Mega-'Console', then you'll have a bit more power.

And the more I think about this and type my response, the less exciting this sounds... All of this is possible on a PC. What they'll be offering us is basically a pre-loaded, locked-down Linux based OS.

The bigger issue to me is that there isn't a second test. You can't just send the samples off to the lab and let them culture for a few days. What's the point of making someone take this blood test if they still have to fill out the mental health questionnaire anyways?

Is there a way to report broken links?

Clicking the sweater would normally take me to an online store I assume, but on this page it leads to a 403 on the J. Crew images server.

"Mong out with your bong out"?

There's ads on the game site, so he must be making some money off of it.

Does this ruling cover tracking via cell phone as well? According to the Wikipedia article on mobile phone tracking, "The U.S. Justice Department has argued that current laws allow them to track suspects without having probable cause to suspect a law is being violated."

This case only seems to cover devices the suspect doesn't already willingly carry.

His views on flag burning aren't exactly as you seem to think.

Mr. Speaker, we have some misfits who on occasion burn the flag. We all despise this behavior, but the offensive conduct of a few does not justify making an exception to the First amendment protections of political speech the majority finds offensive.
