Yes, we most definitely can publish a private brew tap. I'm no expert as I mainly use Linux, but my understanding is that I'd need to create a brand new draios/homebrew-sysdig repo. I'll try to find the time to look into this and update the documentation. If, instead, just a PR to our main repo would suffice, feel free to send it over and we'll merge it in no time :)
However, the device described in the article doesn't destroy equipment (at least its highly unlikely a suitcase size one would generate the field voltage necessary) where as an EPCFG very likely would.
There's no reason these couldn't be left like a suitcase bomb and take out an entire blocks electronics. These could easily be walked into a companies headquarters and take out all the electronics in the entire company.
The easier way to achieve that goal is to overload the net rails with a few thousand volts after the main breaker.
Box with a flywheel that spins up to very high RPM using a motor/generator, then change it from motor to generator using a higher number of windings and then dumping all the energy accumulated in a couple of minutes back into the local grid in a few milliseconds. Probably better to use 2 flywheels so the forces cancel out otherwise the whole thing might come apart.
You could connect this to any wall socket in the company and it wouldn't be much bigger than a suitcase or even fit in one.
If the pulse is short enough it will probably even be re-usable, unlike the power supplies in everything connected to that particular bit of the supply rail. The question is how long you can sustain the pulse, longer = more damage but also more chance of damaging the device itself.
Is there really a problem with nerds being groomed well and fashionably dressed? The people they describe are off-putting because of their attitude, not because their appearance clashes with the archetypal image of a nerd.
What's common with all those behaviors he described is that the way they are usually carried, and the predictable "maleness" with which they are chosen, create an air of trying way too hard -- this is something I defintely experience when meeting many programmers. The irony is that the most defining characteristic of authentic masculinity, for most women I know, is the sense that a man believes in hemself and does what feels right for him. Taking up a bunch of stereotypically male activities for the sake of appearing more male is exactly the opposite of that. It's as if the new practitioner looked around and saw what "successful" guys are doing -- dressing well and riding motorcycles -- and decided to copy the outward appearances without understanding why those patterns exist.
Fake it till you make it. That is pretty much the advice given to people in unfamiliar social situations. It doesn't work in technical areas (where it is rightfully laughed at as cargo cult coding) but it does work in social situations.
Yes, it's basically trying cargo cult "coolness" , of course that isn't a 100% bad thing if it helps encourage people to get out and try something new.
If you take up a hobby just to appear cool then there's every chance you won't stick with it very long.
I'm sure there are many people who have taken up certain hobbies just to impress people and then found them legitimately enjoyable and fulfilling and they would continue to do them even if they became the most uncool thing.
Also since nerds have a tendency to hyper-focus on things in depth they will likely bring their nerd skills to something non nerdy and outdo the non nerds at it.
So why would two factors common to both femininity and masculinity be something that women focus on to represent true masculinity. It doesn't make any sense.
This is nothing more than the propagation of an unidea that people tolerate because it doesn't make any value judgements about either gender, or something.
You can rename the extension to .zip and extract. If you have any problems, let me know via a comment or post a contact method and Ill send you the source. Its pretty simple. When on, it intercepts URLs, sends the base URL to three offshore DNS services via HTTP, makes a best effort to check that two of them are equivalent, caches the IP for the browser session, redirects to the equivalent URL using the IP, and substitutes out the domain name in the source code with the IP address for future requests. I admit that it could use some work, however, I wrote in hopes that I could help create some kind of change in the events that are about to transpire before the vote.
xpi files are "normal" renamed zip files. Try extracting the contents using your favorite unzipping application. You should then get access to the source files.
I can't find much on Berners-Lee's stance on SOPA. Do you have any information as to why he wouldn't sign this letter?
EDIT: Just realized he is British (thanks to the other reply). Do you believe his silence (if any, again I can't find much on his stance) relates to his citizenship?
That article explains that Google renewed its contract with Mozilla in 2008 for three years. The current discussion relates to the future of that contract. There is no evidence that Google has permanently withdrawn support for Firefox.
Google benefits from being the default search engine in Firefox. They wouldn't pay $100 million per year to Mozilla if there wasn't some reasonable return on that investment. I imagine that the search traffic generated by Firefox will remain valuable to Google until FF's market share drops into the single digits.
The article implies that Google is charitably allowing Firefox to exist ("Google doesn't need Firefox anywhere near as much as Firefox needs Google."). I'd like to the think the Google-Mozilla relationship is mutually beneficial.
Firefox may become a viable alternative to Android's built-in browser once the native UI version is complete.
