I'm just curious here, what damage have these companies done to the internet?

The non-google, non-facebook, non-twitter internet is still there, and it's bigger then it's ever been! we're having a discussion on it right now!

I think it's incredibly naive to think that this has nothing to do with North Korea. It's extremely likely that this group of attackers is North Korean, and just as likely that they are under the North Korean government's employ. Also, they threatened attacks on movie theaters on american soil. The fact that the movie playing would be (distantly) owned by a Japanese company is irrelevant, the American moviegoers are the ones that would suffer.

That said, I think canceling showings of the film sends a shitty message, and sets a bad precedent.

Or render at that resolution, the input doesn't have to be video :)

The 'off the grid' answer is 'generator'.

Yea, Mine still works, got it at launch.

Is there a *successful* handheld gaming platform that isn't proprietary and closed source? Do we have an option?

This depends highly on
1) the reqiurements of the position
and
2) your hiring budget.

Do you need someone to run msi installers and register users on a *windows* system? you'll probably save some money hiring an MS cert. do you need database design or some complicated distributed server farm built? and IST degree is probably what you're looking for? Need some application code written? You probably want someone with a CS degree. Need device drivers/firmware/hardware designed? Go for someone with a Computer Engineering or even an Electrical Engineering degree.

All of these degrees/certifications don't fit the same niche...

I absolutely can prove it.

Right now, you can buy the IOS development kit, which compiles objective-C code to run on the iPad. Objective-C is a Turing-complete language, and can therefore only be implemented in a language that is also Turing complete. the LLVM compiler that ships with the IOS developement kit compiles Objective-c to the instruction set on the iPad. Therefore, the instruction set of the iPad is Turing complete.

QED.

I mean that the instruction set implemented on the iPad is Turing complete, which is true. i did not mean that the iPad is a Turing machine, which is not true.

sorry for the ambiguity.

technically, the iPad can run arbitrary code. they are both computers, and Turing complete even!

I wish Tim Cook would just stop by and tell us what to run! that would make this whole mess so much better.

Why do we have to mention Bennett in the non-Bennett posts? can we just have a break please?

if the data has any value, it could (SHOULD) be anonymized (names changed to protect the innocent)...

Is the data public information? if so, why not just make it publicly available, and whoever cares can download it. If the data is valuable, it will be mirrored and survive. if not, it won't.

History. the current Microsoft app store is a mess.
