Wouldn't VPN companies be affected as well? That would greatly affect my browsing.


Android has two versions of Keepass. Make sure your read the details before you choose which one you want to install. The difference between the two is how/where you store your key file, either on their server or on the local sd card.


Funny, I've been wondering when that little bug was going to surface again. Interesting that it sprung up in a relatively secluded island nation which would be comparatively easy to quarantine. If that hit in the slums of India or Brazil...CDC would be losing their shit right now.

Speaking of the CDC, nothing about the outbreak on their website right now. Neither in the news or outbreak sections. I also checked the travel section and the plague does not show up on the radar as a disease with a history in that nation.


Yeah...that's really not how the CDC works.

Also, if you refer to this map, you'll find that "There's plague in Madagascar" really isn't, well, news to the CDC:

Bubonic plague is a common problem with wildlife in California, which has which has wild reservoirs. CDC isn't "losing their shit" because this is something they already manage.


California and much of the Western U.S. It's actually gotten worse in recent years as urban areas push into formerly wild areas.


I am so glad this went well. Too bad it did not happen on Thanksgiving. I had my laptop out and had all the kids looking over my shoulder watching the two launch attempts. Doing my part to get the younger ones interested.

Nice picture from the space-x site- http://www.spacex.com/media-gallery/detail/90781/2601

Yep, same here!

Thank goodness for Kerbal Space Program. It's a marvelous backup.


Thanks so much for posting that link. I saw the streak picture from another commenter, and wondered if there was a high-res version.

It's so beautiful that I would have it on my wall, but I doubt it would print out nearly as nicely as it appears on-screen.


I was there on the Monday before Thanksgiving and was really disappointed that it didn't happen then.


That picture works really well as a desktop wallpaper (hi-res, dark, not too much contrast)


Oh the cameras are public too! Well not just the cameras but the default passwords that secure them.

While the LAX shooting was happening I kept wondering why the shooter didn't just go backwards through the exit. There is usually just one (half asleep) agent sitting there. This would certainly prevent this.

TSA quit screening my thoughts!


I stopped using Windamp for a long time until I purchased my first Android phone. After looking through the dozens of Mp3 players on the market, I saw my old fave, downloaded it and have been using it ever since on my phone.

Oh I was in tears by the third Stallman posting. It looks like he was posting the same things in other threads as well. Stallman spamming


There are actually rampaging Stallman bots that will post those. It's pretty great, actually.

New startup idea: Stallman-as-a-service.


The API endpoint is an e-mail address, and you send a request by e-mailing it a link to a JSON file. Said JSON is read by downloading it with wget.

Well, here's Stallman as a shell 1-liner

    curl -s "http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman" |grep "<li>" | grep -v -E "(Chapter|href|Source:)" | perl -MList::Util -e 'print List::Util::shuffle <>' | head -n1 | sed -E -e "s#</?(li|i|b)>##g"


First try:

"I'm the last survivor of a dead culture, and I don't really belong in the world anymore. And in some ways I feel I ought to be dead."


This one opens really well, then the inevitable kicks in:

The War on Drugs has continued for some 20 years, and we see little prospect of peace, despite the fact that it has totally failed and given the US an imprisonment rate almost equal to Russia. I fear that the War on Copying could go on for decades as well. To end it, we will need to rethink the copyright system, based on the Constitution's view that it is meant to benefit the public, not the copyright owners. Today, one of the benefits the public wants is the use of computers to share copies.


> Stallman-as-a-service.

Just make sure the backend is Affero GPL. ;)


I believe you mean Service-as-a-Stallman-Substitute


you mean like a cloud based VRMS written in javascript?

p.s. - http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/vrms


Stallman-as-a-service

Written in either Go or JS, of course. Preferably both.


Guile


why not elisp?


Elisp is going to become a frontend for Guile, so it's probably future proofing.


This reminds me of a PandoMonthly talk with Chris Sacca:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqUG2_cmZ6I

He talks about his "aha!" moment when he was broke and then realizes the people he meets would rather see him as a part/leader of a team, and not an individual.

The moments I refer to are between 32-36 minutes.
