The RealNews has coverage--look at transcript if you can't watch the video. They're an independent news outlet that monitors exactly this type of news.

It appears that the protest, named Occupy Wall Street, is targeted at the corporate influence over politics, the imperialistic foreign policies of the US, and a demand for greater accountability in politics.

if you can...

I'm a heavy user of open source and GPL software, but I admit to not knowing the nuances of open source licenses. My question is this: why are corporations donating their code to Apache instead of just releasing them through the GPL and Sourceforge? Oracle recently did this as well with OpenOffice, and I seem to vaguely recall a few others.

With girls.

That double into a bed, if it gets down to it.

Especially considering that as long as you don't pick an overtly false name, you won't be banned. I know people that use fake names on facebook and google+, and they haven't had problems. If this comes down to human rights and privacy, pick a name that isn't obviously false. It doesn't get at the root of the problem, and the managers of these networks never will, but it's a simple solution to use until these social networks realize how futile these bans really are.

This is not correct. HIV, like the flu virus, has a single-stranded RNA genome that forms long helical, double stranded RNA structures which could be inhibited by this drug (DRACOs). See table 1 from the article, and my previous post

I'm a biophysicist that works on the flu--though not a virologist--and I'd like to mention a couple of related points. First, as another poster had stated, this does not only work for double-stranded RNA viruses. Look at table 1. The influenza virus and HIV are both very similar--class I enveloped viruses with single-stranded RNA genomes. I'd imagine this could have some effect toward HIV, as it is effective with the flu. However, it would appear that once the HIV RNA has been reverse-transcribed to cDNA and integrated into the genome, then the approach presented in this paper would not work--i.e. if you have AIDS, this won't help you.

First hit's free. Next one's gonna cost you $55,385.

Every two years or so, I critically evaluate my options for this problem--even going through the trouble of posting an AskSlashdot on the topic--and every time, I always come back to unison. There are many DIY, non-cloud managed solutions out there; see this article for a useful comparison matrix. I've even tried using git for automated versioning and syncing. However, none seem to work as cleanly as a unison setup combined with a DynDNS IP forward to my home box. Include snapshot backups using StoreBackup--the best backup tool, IMHO--and you have a setup that is tough to beat.

Why would you think chromeless was dead? It looks like a project that started last Oct with a new release every few months. It's only been a few months since their last update, and the forums have recent activity. They also have commits up until the end of last month? Are you trying to motivate the devs?

This article and summary are unclear about how the advert was posted--presumably it was a wall post.

The article lists various places in the terms of use that he might have violated, but this excerpt seems most likely:

""We may refuse ads at any time for any reason, including our determination that they promote competing products or services or negatively affect our business or relationship with our users."

Which seems overly-broad and anti-competitive. What exactly constitutes an ad? Can I express my interest in something only if facebook isn't developing a competing product?

I don't disagree with your post. However,

No credible geneticist believes that mental performance is tied to race.

This statement is particularly ironic because one of the fathers of modern genetics, James Watson, is a notorious racist.

What irks me about the price increase has nothing to do with the price of lattes or the fact that we're not necessarily getting anything more in return. It's the anti-competitive behavior. I suspect that the margins on their current pricing were set to be small enough to snuff out Blockbuster. Now, without real competition (incl Amazon's service), they can reap the fruits of their 'sacrifices.'

For those who may not know, upskirt is the Markdown parser used and developed at GitHub under the name 'RedCarpet.' Both packages--upskirt is a fast C parser for Markdown, and pantyshot is its python wrapper--are immensely useful. Giving them those names, however, makes it difficult to integrate them into a professional software project. I find this to be the same attitude developers seem to have about users in general--library users, in this case. Some developers have a certain disdain for those whom do not conform to their notions of humor, design, aesthetics, etc. That's fine, it's their software project. Just know that you're shooting yourself in the foot. You're literally wasting your work when people avoid your project over something as trivial as a project name. And if you don't want people to use it in the first place, then why make it free in the first place?

In the case of pantyshot, the developer has associated his name to that project. If I were an prospective employer doing a search on his name, I'd seriously question his judgement.

If I may highjack this thread into an AskSlashdot, I'd like to ask others what they use. I'm in science and research, and I'd like to investigate alternatives, after having used PowerPoint through wine (crossover office) for a few years. I've had dozens too many red 'X's show up in presentations, and I'd like to have something that renders quickly, that is stable, and has good eye candy. Is Keynote decent? Are any of the png/svg based viewers for linux decent? Help!
