From the blog:

one spot isn’t a spot at all, it’s the International Space Station!

The dimensions for ISS are 357 feet by 167 feet. A simple search for spy satellite yields this:

"The satellite likely consists of sensitive radio receivers and an antenna generally believed to span up to 328 feet to gather electronic intelligence for the National Security Agency," Molczan told Spaceflight Now.

How can we tell a sun spot is a sun spot?

There's still phosphorus in the cells, just too little. It's not like arsenic completely replaces phosphorus.

Problem 1.11 (last one in the String chapter):

Left- or Right-Pad a String

Solution:

for (var i = 0; i < diff; i++) {
oldStr=filler + oldStr;
}

For who is written this solution? Loops are as basic as you can go in programming.

This is a limitation of GPLv2. That's why it's so important to switch the Linux kernel to GPL version 3.

It's like Lenin says: you look for the person who will benefit

In communism many famous words were falsely attributed to Lenin. "To whose benefit?" is actually a latin adage: Cui bono.

I know exactly what I'm getting both my friends for Christmas this year

You could buy me one. I am more real than your imaginary friends: Ostap Bender

The only problem I encountered moving from 9.04 to 9.10 was in OpenLdap. The new version 2.4.18 complained about a configuration file in a subdirectory under /etc/ldap/slapd.d. After reading the OpenLdap source it turned out that it required all access rules to be numbered if at least one was numbered. The files in question were produced by the earlier version of slapd by parsing slapd.conf.auth. So I edited them manually adding a number prefix to the last rule and then it worked OK.

I receive at least one email a day from BoA telling me I have to confirm my account details because of the new security system they just put in place. If we have to go though this ordeal we are entitled to sponsored content as well.

Need to go now, I just got an email about this once in a lifetime opportunity from Nigeria

There is no purely functional language (on any platform) with enough mind share to qualify as "popular".

Javascript is functional.

Why did you switch from Dojo to ExtJS? Does the criteria still apply today?

Intel's new Ion graphics

This can only be right when the story title is: Intel buys Nvidia

The PSP 3000 comes in a pack with a camera, PSP-300 that was supposed to provide videochat. Except Go Messenger stopped at the end of last month and Skype can't use the camera. I tried to use it in the older PSP 2000 just for microphone in it but PSP 2000 won't recognize the usb cam in spite of being on the same software revision as the new 3000.

OTOH the power button is still in the same place so accidentally switching off the console during game play is a feature that has been preserved in the new version.

Not only that but they should give vouchers worlwide, there are a lot of American cars sold abroad.

It was not totalitarian for westerners, it was totalitarian for the locals. For most of them travel across Europe meant digging tunnels under the Wall or swimming across large rivers at night.

About going to the US, if you are willing to pay the price, I don't think the coyote is going to ask for fingerprints. So in a way, nothing changed.
