On the contrary: a very specific person wrote to them to request those indictments. ;)

"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence."

Stealing one thing from the store isn't hard, but the nature of vulnerabilities like this one means there isn't much additional technical challenge going from stealing one thing once to stealing everything a million times. To continue your store analogy, imagine if it's just as easy to make an army of robots that steal everything as it is to steal one thing personally.

The magic of Kernighan:

"When we were choosing among typesetting systems, Brian never let on that he was one of the original authors of Troff, the system we ultimately went with," Donovan said. "I realized this only after researching many early papers on digital typesetting; Brian co-wrote all of them."

He hasn't-- the article is from 2010.

Looks like a bogus address with only a real email in Tor-land. Domain is paid with Bitcoin through bitdomain.biz, so that's a dead end too.

This is pretty cool! Even as simple as this is, it shows how pretty webGL can be, and how it can play nice with DOM elements. Did you have much trouble getting the text to look right?

Aside from the whole "will they actually build it" debate, I'm worried that if they do, the capsule ceiling won't be high enough for someone fairly tall (let's say 6'5'' or taller) to sit in comfortably. I'd assume the height of the capsule will have some effect on the drag involved, as well as the necessary size of the tube, so it makes sense to make it as short as possible.

Musk himself stands just below 6', so he may not naturally think of us taller folk. I'd hate to have to slouch for the trip, even if it is only projected to be 35 minutes.

edit: dear tall people who have ridden in one of Tesla's cars: how's the headroom in a Model S?

I agree: I have no idea how the scoring system works. Am I supposed to get it done in as little (real world coding) time as possible? As few keystrokes? Is it supposed to be done in as few cycles (on their test machine) as possible? Should it be bulletproof, or just work?

Hear hear!

For the record, he's never actually voted against abortion. He opposes government-funded abortion, but also voted "Present" on a bill to defund the "Planned Parenthood" organization, saying that he will not vote on any bill that names a single private organization instead of a class of organizations in general.

Somebody's having some fun with the Speaker of the House's name...

"...you can imagine the Speaker's office will be quickly filling up with agency heads looking to get their hands on an impotent Boehner."

A proprietary language created for a closed, for-profit platform isn't naturally the most popular choice for open source projects.
