That's exactly how it works on Android. It uses Google+ profile pictures, which you can override, you can also enable option to show details about numbers that are not in your contacts (including the picture).

By using cursor key for voting you dramatically decreased usability, for example I no longer can use Platform Key (Win/Command) key + left arrow to go back to previous page.

It looks like http://www.coursetable.com is filtered on WebSense.

Your question reminded me of this and I see someone already responded. In any case you should get a new card if there was a chance you were affected.

The reason why companies are caring at all about it is because this directly affects their income. Especially from foreign users.

takeda64 | 12 years ago | on: FreeBSD 10.0-RC1 now available

Well, there's OpenJDK, but to use the standard one from Oracle you need to run it under linux emulation layer.

takeda64 | 12 years ago | on: OpenZFS launch

Well, it's like fork but it's the other way. After Oracle bought Sun, other projects that adopted ZFS continued fixing it and adding new features.

So FreeBSD has its version, Illumnos (fork of Solaris) has it own, Delphix own and so on. Those projects were using patches from each other but managing all of that became problematic.

So they basically designated one central place to do ZFS development from which all of the projects will use.

So now instead of many ZFS forks there just two: - Oracle - which is now closed source - Open-ZFS - which will be now the official open source ZFS that all Open Source systems will use.

Unfortunately it will still be CDDL, since no one in that project has power to do it. This would require Oracle and all contributors to allow for changing the license.

Think of jails as VMs without the overhead of having the same OS multiple times in memory. Similarly you can't use host's IP by any of the guests.

That said many people go around that by simply binding the jail against an unsused loopback address (127.0.0.0/8) and then use firewall such as pf to redirect specific ports to given jail, like here http://blog.burghardt.pl/2009/01/multiple-freebsd-jails-shar...

As I understand you need to have the same EUID to be able to bind to the same port.

According to LinkedIn, he just started working there this month. I guess he is just dumb, inexperienced, and maybe it was first time someone hang up on him.

I personally don't drink coffee. From my observation I don't think I'm any less alert than other coworkers, but I just need to have standard 7-8 hours of sleep.

Provide session support in HTTP and still cookies for backward compatibility. If the support works right, people will migrate themselves.

AmEx has special Costco card, which you can only use with valid Costco membership (it automatically renews it per year) and the cashback you are receiving will be in a form of coupon given yearly which you can only spend back at Costco.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: The new Google Hangouts will not support XMPP

Well, the XMPP still works and is decentralized. Is also the biggest network. If that is not enough for you then I'm afraid you won't find any other alternative.

You can set up your own XMPP server or use one of tons of the public ones: http://xmpp.net/

Edit: There's also jabber.org http://www.jabber.org/ which probably will operate as long as XMPP is still relevant.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: ZFS on Linux 0.6.1 released: Ready for wide scale deployment

If I remember correctly, Sun responded with even more of their own patents at them and eventually they just settled.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: The DDoS that almost broke the Internet

They set up a caching server for their organization so the DNS lookups are faster, but they forget to restrict the recursive queries only to their organization so anyone else can use them.

That makes them work like Smurf ampliefiers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurf_attack) in the past.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: The Star Wars Route: Do a traceroute to 216.81.59.173

Yeah /8 what a waste.

Many organizations were asked to return /8 in exchange to /16, but snobs at MIT refused.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: Host me in California

Not everything. They think Sweeden and Finland are Western Europe despite the fact that those countries geographically are more eastern than for example Poland.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: Google Maps becomes the App Store’s most popular free app in 7 hours

I guess you are confused. Google was ready to provide those features in exchange for their branding and also ability to display ads. Apple did not agree to that, and now Google has that option as being 3rd party app, which iOS users now need to explicitly install.

No one really won here, but if I really would have to pick up a winner, it would be Google.

takeda64 | 13 years ago | on: Google Maps becomes the App Store’s most popular free app in 7 hours

How come Apple allowed this app? Isn't it duplicate functionality of the iPhone? I guess everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others...
