primitives like this breaks backwards compatibility entirely. We have used this opportunity to
implement protocol improvements all over the system.</p></div></div></div></div>

+<h3>About GNU Parallel</h3>
+
+<p>GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job is can be
a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input
is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be
a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to
have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to
replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even
replace nested loops.
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the
commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>You can find more about GNU Parallel at: <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/";>http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/</a>
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>You can install GNU Parallel in just 10 seconds with:
+<br/>
+(wget -O - pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/) | bash

+
+<h3>About GNU SQL</h3>
+
+<p>GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different
databases' command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login
information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and
running queries.
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's
interactive shell.

+
+<h3>About GNU Niceload</h3>
+
+<p>GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a
certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft
limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit
is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.<br/>

+ <title>Gift giving gnu advises shoppers to "give freely"</title>
+ <summary>BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Friday, December 20th, 2013 --
+Yesterday, Free Software Foundation activists visited the Boston
+Apple store to raise awareness of more ethical alternatives for
+technology gifts. The activists were accompanied by a gnu (the free
+software movement's buffalo-like mascot) and sported Santa hats in the
+spirit of the season. Shoppers were surprised to see such an
+unusual Santa, and many took stickers and copies of the
+FSF's "Giving Guide," which contains tips for purchasing tech
+gifts that respect computer users' freedom, privacy and security.</summary>

+ <content type="xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><p>WHAT IS IT
+<br/>
+==========
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>FisicaLab (can be pronounced as PhysicsLab) is an educational application to solve physics problems. Its
main objective is let the user to focus in physics concepts, leaving aside the mathematical details
(FisicaLab take care of them). This allows the user to become familiar with the physical concepts without
running the risk of getting lost in mathematical details. And so, when the user gain confidence in applying
physical concepts, will be better prepared to solve the problems by hand (with pen and paper).
+<br/>
+</p>
+<p>WHAT NEWS?
+<br/>

+ <title>coreutils-8.22 released [stable]</title>
+ <content type="xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><textarea class="verbatim" cols="80"
readonly="readonly" rows="20">There have been 195 commits by 32 people in the 10 months since 8.21
+
+Executive summary: 8.22 is mainly a bug fix and performance improvement release.
+tail(1) has fixes for handling initially non existent files, and df now has
+better handling of specified disk device nodes. On the performance side,
+there have been many improvements to the memory usage of various tools, which
+are detailed at http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/avoiding_large_buffers.html
+There have been large throughput improvements in cut(1) and base64 encoding.
+Also the md5sum and sha*sum utilities have support for using architecture
+specific routines to improve performance, if allowed on your distribution.
+There are also new features available, including SELinux "restorecon" support
+in various file creation utilities through the -Z option, and shred has a new
+--repeat option to continually select random items from the input.
+
+See the NEWS below for more details.

+==================================================================
+
+Here is the GNU coreutils home page:
+ http://gnu.org/s/coreutils/
+
+For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
+ http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=shortlog;h=v8.22
+or run this command from a git-cloned coreutils directory:
+ git shortlog v8.21..v8.22
+
+To summarize the 255 gnulib-related changes, run these commands
+From a git-cloned coreutils directory:
+ git checkout v8.22
+ git submodule summary v8.21
+
+==================================================================
+
+Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
+ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.22.tar.xz
+ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.22.tar.xz.sig
+
+Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
+ http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/coreutils/coreutils-8.22.tar.xz
+ http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/coreutils/coreutils-8.22.tar.xz.sig
+
+[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
+.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
+and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
+
+ gpg --verify coreutils-8.22.tar.xz.sig
+
+If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
+then run this command to import it:
+
+ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys DF6FD971306037D9
+
+and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
+
+This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
+ Autoconf 2.69
+ Automake 1.13.4
+ Gnulib v0.1-38-g0658e50
+ Bison 2.7
+
+NEWS
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 8.22 (2013-12-13) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ df now processes the mount list correctly in the presence of unstatable
+ mount points. Previously it may have failed to output some mount points.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-8.21]
+
+ df now processes symbolic links and relative paths to special files containing
+ a mounted file system correctly. Previously df displayed the statistics about
+ the file system the file is stored on rather than the one inside.
+ [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
+
+ df now processes disk device nodes correctly in the presence of bind mounts.
+ Now df shows the base mounted file system rather than the last one mounted.
+ [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
+
+ install now removes the target file if the strip program failed for any
+ reason. Before, that file was left behind, sometimes even with wrong
+ permissions.
+ [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
+
+ ln --relative now updates existing symlinks correctly. Previously it based
+ the relative link on the dereferenced path of an existing link.
+ [This bug was introduced when --relative was added in coreutils-8.16.]
+
+ ls --recursive will no longer exit with "serious" exit code (2), if there
+ is an error reading a directory not specified on the command line.
+ [Bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
+
+ mkdir, mkfifo, and mknod now work better when creating a file in a directory
+ with a default ACL whose umask disagrees with the process's umask, on a
+ system such as GNU/Linux where directory ACL umasks override process umasks.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
+
+ mv will now replace empty directories in the destination with directories
+ from the source, when copying across file systems.
+ [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
+
+ od -wN with N larger than 64K on a system with 32-bit size_t would
+ print approximately 2*N bytes of extraneous padding.
+ [Bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
+
+ rm -I now prompts for confirmation before removing a write protected file.
+ [Bug introduced in coreutils-6.8]
+
+ shred once again uses direct I/O on systems requiring aligned buffers.
+ Also direct I/O failures for odd sized writes at end of file are now handled.
+ [The "last write" bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0 but masked
+ by the alignment bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
+
+ tail --retry -f now waits for the files specified to appear. Before, tail
+ would immediately exit when such a file is initially inaccessible.
+ [This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5]
+
+ tail -F has improved handling of symlinks. Previously tail didn't respond
+ to the symlink target (re)appearing after being (re)created.
+ [This bug was introduced when inotify support was added in coreutils-7.5]
+
+** New features
+
+ cp, install, mkdir, mknod, mkfifo and mv now support "restorecon"
+ functionality through the -Z option, to set the SELinux context
+ appropriate for the new item location in the file system.
+
+ csplit accepts a new option: --suppressed-matched, to elide the lines
+ used to identify the split points.
+
+ df --output now accepts a 'file' field, to propagate a specified
+ command line argument through to the output.
+
+ du accepts a new option: --inodes to show the number of inodes instead
+ of the blocks used.
+
+ id accepts a new option: --zero (-z) to delimit the output entries by
+ a NUL instead of a white space character.
+
+ id and ls with -Z report the SMACK security context where available.
+ mkdir, mkfifo and mknod with -Z set the SMACK context where available.
+
+ id can now lookup by user ID, in addition to the existing name lookup.
+
+ join accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort,uniq
+ option of the same name, this makes join consume and produce NUL-terminated
+ lines rather than newline-terminated lines.
+
+ uniq accepts a new option: --group to print all items, while separating
+ unique groups with empty lines.
+
+ shred accepts new parameters to the --remove option to give greater
+ control over that operation, which can greatly reduce sync overhead.
+
+ shuf accepts a new option: --repeat (-r), which can repeat items in
+ the output.
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+ cp --link now dereferences a symbolic link as source before creating the
+ hard link in the destination unless the -P,--no-deref option is specified.
+ Previously, it would create a hard link of the symbolic link, even when
+ the dereferencing options -L or -H were specified.
+
+ cp, install, mkdir, mknod and mkfifo no longer accept an argument to the
+ short -Z option. The --context equivalent still takes an optional argument.
+
+ dd status=none now suppresses all non fatal diagnostic messages,
+ not just the transfer counts.
+
+ df no longer accepts the long-obsolescent --megabytes option.
+
+ stdbuf now requires at least one buffering mode option to be specified,
+ as per the documented interface.
+
+** Improvements
+
+ base64 encoding throughput for bulk data is increased by about 60%.
+
+ md5sum can use libcrypto hash routines where allowed to potentially
+ get better performance through using more system specific logic.
+ sha1sum for example has improved throughput by 40% on an i3-2310M.
+ This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
+
+ stat and tail work better with EFIVARFS, EXOFS, F2FS, HOSTFS, SMACKFS, SNFS
+ and UBIFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f
+ now uses inotify for files on all those except SNFS, rather than the default
+ (for unknown file system types) of issuing a warning and reverting to polling.
+
+ shuf outputs subsets of large inputs much more efficiently.
+ Reservoir sampling is used to limit memory usage based on the number of
+ outputs, rather than the number of inputs.
+
+ shred increases the default write block size from 12KiB to 64KiB
+ to align with other utilities and reduce the system call overhead.
+
+ split --line-bytes=SIZE, now only allocates memory as needed rather
+ than allocating SIZE bytes at program start.
+
+ stty now supports configuring "stick" (mark/space) parity where available.
+
+** Build-related
+
+ factor now builds on aarch64 based systems [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]

+ <title>GWorkspace, how to easily mount/unmount volumes</title>
+ <content type="xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><a
href="http://www.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html";>GWorkspace</a> allows for easy mounting and
unmounting of volumes (disks, usb sticks, CD-ROMs) like you would do manually on console, without the
requirement of daemons or other tools.<br/><br/>Here is how.<br/><br/>First, be sure your underlying
operating system is correctly configured to allow you to do that. I'll show as example how I configured my
Debian system.<br/><br/>Your current user needs to have the permissions to mount the volume(s), this is
usually done by being part of the correct group. For Debian we find cdrom and floppy as ready
groups<br/><span><br/></span><span style="font-size:
x-small;"><span>cdrom:x:24:multix</span></span><br/><br/>The predefined mount-point for the cdrom is
/mnt/cdrom, since I usually handle with USB sticks I added a mount point for it:<br/><br/><span
style="font-size: x-small;"><span>$ ls -l /media/<br/>total
8<br/>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jan 1 1970 cdrom -> cdrom0<br/>drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 1
1970 cdrom0<br/>drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 14:01 usb</span></span><br/><br/>Now, let's add the
correct lines to /etc/fstab for our usb entry. The cdrom entry is usually already configured by
Debian.<br/><br/><span>/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0<br/>/dev/sdb
/media/usb auto defaults,users 0 0</span><br/><br/>I <i>auto</i> shall determine the file
system automagically, while <i>users</i> allows for user permissions for the mounted files. You can check if
everything is configured fine if you can "mount" from the command line with your current user.<br/><br/>Then
open <a href="http://www.gnustep.org/experience/systempreferences.html";>SystemPreferences </a>and configure
the managed paths as shown here:<br/><br/><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing
="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align:
center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a
href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hlHesBoGaX4/Uqm4UDoWJ5I/AAAAAAAAAvs/wpt0EHk6b98/s1600/syspref_volumes.png";
style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240"

width="320"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SystemPreferences - Mount
points</td></tr></tbody></table>Configure the <i>mount points for removable media</i>, here I have enabled
the cdrom and the usb mount points. The mtab path is currently ignored by GWorkspace, so don't bother and the
default value is anyway correct for Linux.<br/><br/>Now, in GWorkspace we can select <i>Check for disks</i>
under the <i>Tools</i> menu.<br/><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="tr-caption-container" style
="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a
href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KMQt77KUz9o/UqnX_LkS7AI/AAAAAAAAAv8/KJHi5bfvjD8/s1600/gwsp_check_disks.png";

width="235"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">GWorkspace - check for
disks</td></tr></tbody></table>If everything goes well, voilà, your volume will get mounted. It will appear
on the destkop if you have the Desktop enabled and you can show its content. In any case it shall be visible
in the File Viewer in its mount place.<br/><br/><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align:
center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogsp
ot.com/-GqOtpJY1kTY/UqnYn4NKwuI/AAAAAAAAAwE/K_WFUSU0hqE/s1600/usb_content.png" style="margin-left: auto;

src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GqOtpJY1kTY/UqnYn4NKwuI/AAAAAAAAAwE/K_WFUSU0hqE/s320/usb_content.png";
width="320"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Usb stick
contents</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/><br/><br/>If all options are set correctly as suggested, the
volume is readable, writable as you can check with the <i>Attributes Inspector</i>. Also we can open the .zip
file with <a href="http://gap.nongnu.org/zipper/index.html";>Zipper</a> easily.<br/><br/><table align="center"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a
href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z3vSI43Fy9A/UqnY2HkIl2I/AAAAAAAAAwM/l0EfKZtzhqk/s1600/zipper_inspector.png";

width="320"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zipper and
Attributes</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/>To unmount a volume, just drag its icon to the Recycle
Bin.</div>

+ <title>E-Books That Read You</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/HGC4PJqbcr8/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An anonymous reader writes "Internet users have sadly grown used to having their every
click and scroll measured by advertisers and content providers seeking to squeeze every last ounce of
attention out of them. Now, it seems such data gathering is spreading into your favorite novels as well. The
NY Times profiles several companies trying to collect data on how people read ebooks. Quoting: 'Scribd is
just beginning to analyze the data from its subscribers. Some general insights: The longer a mystery novel
is, the more likely readers are to jump to the end to see who done it. People are more likely to finish
biographies than business titles, but a chapter of a yoga book is all they need. They speed through romances
faster than religious titles, and erotica fastest of all. At Oyster, a top book is What Women Want, promoted
as a work that "brings you inside a woman's head so you can learn how to blow her mind." Everyone who starts
it finishes it. On the other
hand, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s The Cycles of American History blows no minds: fewer than 1 percent of
the readers who start it get to the end. Oyster data shows that readers are 25 percent more likely to finish
books that are broken up into shorter chapters. That is an inevitable consequence of people reading in short
sessions during the day on an iPhone.'"<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <title>Snowden Gives Alternative Christmas Message On Channel 4</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/WqIAQYWfLjw/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>codeusirae wrote in with news that Edward Snowden gave an alternative to the UK's yearly
Christmas message, speaking about his objections to mass indiscriminate surveillance by governments. The
message aired on channel four at 16:15. Slashgear posted a transcript. Quoting: "Think about what this means
for the privacy of the average person. A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all.
They'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves &mdash; an unrecorded, unanalyzed
thought. And that's a problem, because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and
who we want to be."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a

+ <title>Prime Minister Wiretapped &mdash; Vast Corruption Upending Turkey's Government</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/1xHap89ESQI/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>cold fjord writes with an update on the political upheaval happening in Turkey "From the
article: 'Dawn raids last Tuesday nabbed almost 60 people and implicated three government ministries, the
directors of state banks, and some of Turkey's most powerful businessmen in a massive corruption probe spread
across three different cases. Three members of Turkey's cabinet resigned on Christmas Day, and one called on
Erdogan to follow suit as accusations of kickbacks, smuggling, and abuse of office continue to mount. The
scandal has even acquired an international dimension as suspicions that Iran has been using Turkey's banks to
shirk sanctions were further bolstered by the arrest of Reza Sarraf, an Iranian businessmen who is accused of
bribing the Economic Minister while coordinating transactions from Iran worth $120 billion. The AKP is
scrambling to defend itself by claiming the arrests are a result of a dastardly foreign conspiracy ... while
police officials h
ave been removed and reshuffled and special prosecutors appointed to a degree that makes Nixon's Saturday
Night Massacre look like exemplary justice. The Turkish press continues to eagerly publish the latest
colorful details that emerge from the probe, including police reports of $500,000 bribes administered in
boxes of chocolate and news that Erdoan himself was being wiretapped as part of the investigation.' Erdogan
has been urged to resign, three days ago Turkey banned journalists from entering police stations, and police
are using tear gas on protesters."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;">

+ <title>ISS Coolant Pump Restarted After Successful Spacewalks</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/cwGr88RXK70/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>Yesterday, two astronauts completed a seven hour spacewalk to finish installation of a
spare coolant pump after a failed coolant pump forced a partial shut down of the ISS. As of late yesterday
afternoon, that pump is online and operating normally: "The new pump now is considered fully functional, but
it will take some time to fully reintegrate the pump and Loop A of the two-loop external cooling system.
Teams at mission control are following a schedule that should allow the restored cooling loop to be fully
activated and integrated into the station&rsquo;s cooling system on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. ...
Electrical systems that depend on cooling from Loop A will be repowered or moved back from temporary support
on Loop B gradually on Thursday, Friday, and throughout the weekend."<p><div

+ <description>Tackhead writes "People of a certain age &mdash; the age before email filters were
effective, may remember a few mid-90s buzzwords like 'bulletproof hosting' and 'double opt-in.' People may
remember that Hormel itself conceded that although 'SPAM' referred to their potted meat product, the term
'spam' could refer to unsolicited commercial email. People may also remember AGIS, Cyberpromo, Sanford 'Spam
King' Wallace, and Walt Rines. Ten years after a 2003 retrospective on Rines and Wallace, Ars Technica
reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same."<p><div

+ <title>Why Don't Open Source Databases Use GPUs?</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/u3kxTZCQDhs/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An anonymous reader writes "A recent paper from Georgia Tech (abstract, paper itself)
describes a system than can run the complete TPC-H benchmark suite on an NVIDIA Titan card, at a 7x speedup
over a commercial database running on a 32-core Amazon EC2 node, and a 68x speedup over a single core Xeon. A
previous story described an MIT project that achieved similar speedups. There has been a steady trickle of
work on GPU-accelerated database systems for several years, but it doesn't seem like any code has made it
into Open Source databases like MonetDB, MySQL, CouchDB, etc. Why not? Many queries that I write are simpler
than TPC-H, so what's holding them back?"<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <description>New submitter silverjacket writes "New research (JSTOR sub required / paywalled) shows
that we see nonconformity as a sign of both status and competence &mdash; under the right conditions.
From the article: 'Next, the researchers asked students at American universities to imagine a professor who
is clean-shaven and wears a tie, or one who is bearded and wears T-shirts. Students were slightly more
inclined to judge the dapper professor as a better teacher and researcher. But some students were given
another piece of information: that the professor works at a top-tier school, where the dress code is
presumably more formal. For them, the slouchy scholar earned more points. Deviance can signal status, but
only when there are clear norms from which to deviate.'"<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <title>Google Sues Consortium Backed By Apple and Microsoft to Protect Android</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/BK6GelqjXzA/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>A couple months ago, Rockstar, a patent-holding consortium backed by Apple, Microsoft,
Sony, Blackberry, and others launched a barrage of infringement suits against Google and the makers of
Android devices. Google has now launched a counteroffensive, seeking protection from Rockstar's patent
trolling. The complaint (PDF) says, "Rockstar produces no products and practices no patents. Instead,
Rockstar employs a staff of engineers in Ontario, Canada, who examine other companies&rsquo; successful
products to find anything that Rockstar might use to demand and extract licenses to its patents under threat
of litigation." Google's filing also accuses Rockstar of interfering with their business practices by
contacting other companies and trying to convince them not to use Android. It asks for a declarative judgment
of non-infringement.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a

+ <title>Netflix: Non-'A' Players Unworthy of Jobs</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/yrEPNUZNtZs/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>theodp writes "Describing How Netflix Reinvented HR for the Harvard Business Review,
ex-Chief Talent Officer Patty McCord describes 'the most basic element of Netflix's talent philosophy: The
best thing you can do for employees &mdash; a perk better than foosball or free sushi &mdash; is hire
only "A" players to work alongside them.' Continuing her Scrooge-worthy tale, McCord adds that firing a
once-valuable employee instead of finding another way for her to contribute yielded another aha! moment for
Netflix: 'If we wanted only "A" players on our team, we had to be willing to let go of people whose skills no
longer fit, no matter how valuable their contributions had once been. Out of fairness to such people
&mdash; and, frankly, to help us overcome our discomfort with discharging them &mdash; we learned to
offer rich severance packages.' It's a sometimes-praised, sometimes-criticized strategy that's straight out
of Steve Jobs' early '80s pl
aybook. But, even if you assume your execs are capable of identifying 'A' players, how do you find enough
employees if 90% of the country's population is deemed unworthy of jobs? Well, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings'
support of Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us PAC suggests one possible answer &mdash; you get lobbyists to
convince Congress you need to hire as many people as you want from outside the country. An article commenter
points out that Netflix's 'Culture of Fear' has earned it a 3.2/5.0 rating on Glassdoor."<p><div

behind the recent Target credit card hack. Krebs sifted through posts from a series of shady forums, some
dating back to 2008, to determine the likely real-life identity of one fraudster. He even turns down a

+ <title>A Big Step Forward In Air Display and Interface Tech</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/K6UwFIMIrR4/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>wjcofkc writes "Interactive displays projected into the air in the spirit of Iron Man
have been heralded as the next step in visual technology. Yet many obstacles remain. According to Russian
designer Max Kamanin, creator of Displair, many the problems have now been largely cracked. With this attempt
at refining the technology, the image is created inside a layer of dry fog which is composed of ultra-fine
water droplets so small they lack moisture. Three-dimensional projections are then created using infrared
sensors. The projected screen currently responds intuitively to 1,500 hand movements, many of which are
similar to those used on mobile devices, such as pinch and zoom. The most immediate applications include
advertising and medicine, with the latter offering a more hygienic alternative to touchscreens. The most
immediate objection from home and office computer users is that they don't want to be waving their hands
around all day, and while such quest
ions as 'What happens when I turn on a fan?' are not answered here, just imagine a future with a projected
keyboard and trackpad that use puff-air haptic feedback with the option of reaching right into the screen
whenever it applies to the application at hand &mdash; and applications that take advantage of such a
technology would no doubt come along. Better yet, imagine for yourself in the comments. As always, pictures
speak a thousand words, so don't neglect the articles gallery."<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <title>Italy Approves 'Google Tax' On Internet Companies</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/84Ekv4_FIlc/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>recoiledsnake sends this news from Bloomberg: "Italy's Parliament today passed a new
measure on web advertising, the so-called 'Google tax,' which will require Italian companies to purchase
their Internet ads from locally registered companies, instead of from units based in havens such as Ireland,
Luxembourg and Bermuda. Google, for example, says that it sells nearly all its advertising in Europe from an
Irish unit, leaving little taxable profits in the countries where its customers are based. That unit in turn
pays royalties to a second Irish subsidiary, which says its headquarters are in Bermuda. Google last year
moved nearly $12 billion to the Bermuda unit, the majority of its worldwide income, cutting more than $2
billion off its global income tax bill. Google's Italian unit last year reported total income taxes of just
1.8 million euros, corporate filings show."<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/Aq0EvJruPhs/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An anonymous reader writes "The common trope these days is that the internet never
forgets. We tech-inclined folk warn our friends and relatives that anything embarrassing they put on the
internet will stay there whether they want it to or not. But at the same time, we're told about massive
amounts of data being lost as storage services go out of business or as the media it's stored on degrades and
fails. There are organizations like the Internet Archive putting a huge amount of effort into saving
everything that can be saved, and they're not getting all of it. My question is this: how long can we
reasonably expect the internet to remember us? Assume, of course, that we're not doing anything particularly
famous or notable &mdash; just normal people leading normal lives. Will our great-grandkids be able to
trace our online presence? Will all your publicly-posted photos be viewable in 50 years, or just the one of
you tripping over a sheep and falling int

+ <title>Linux x32 ABI Not Catching Wind</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/bCHReL4GUAE/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>jones_supa writes "The x32 ABI for Linux allows the OS to take full advantage of an
x86-64 CPU while using 32-bit pointers and thus avoiding the overhead of 64-bit pointers. Though the x32 ABI
limits the program to a virtual address space of 4GB, it also decreases the memory footprint of the program
and in some cases can allow it to run faster. The ABI has been talked about since 2011 and there's been
mainline support since 2012. x32 support within other programs has also trickled in. Despite this, there
still seems to be no widespread interest. x32 support landed in Ubuntu 13.04, but no software packages were
released. In 2012 we also saw some x32 support out of Gentoo and some Debian x32 packages. Besides the kernel
support, we also saw last year the support for the x32 Linux ABI land in Glibc 2.16 and GDB 7.5. The only
Linux x32 ABI news Phoronix had to report on in 2013 was of Google wanting mainline LLVM x32 support and
other LLVM project x32 patches.
The GCC 4.8.0 release this year also improved the situation for x32. Some people don't see the ABI as being
worthwhile when it still requires 64-bit processors and the performance benefits aren't very convincing for
all workloads to make maintaining an extra ABI worthwhile. Would you find the x32 ABI
useful?"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop"

+ <title>Don't Expect US Approval of Huge Telecom Mergers</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/FlK8nWUSuLA/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An article from Reuters explains how mergers involving T-Mobile and Time Warner Cable are
likely to face a high level of scrutiny from the Obama Administration. Officials are wary of allowing any
more power to consolidate among the huge corporations dominating the industry. A merger with one of the
smaller companies would have a much easier time gaining approval. "Regulators could, on the other hand,
welcome transactions that bolster new entrants, such as one combining satellite TV service provider Dish
Network Corp with T-Mobile, experts say. 'Dish/T-Mobile, from a regulatory standpoint, it would be a
slam-dunk,' said Stifel analyst David Kaut. ... The FCC, in an annual report released in March, said
competition in the wireless industry is 'highly concentrated.' Similarly, the Justice Department's assistant
attorney general for antitrust, William Baer, has described the industry as 'not uniformly competitive.' 'The
Department believes it is essential to m
aintain vigilance against any lessening of the intensity of competitive market forces,' Baer told the FCC in
a filing in April related to an upcoming auction of low-frequency airwaves. The government's rejection of
AT&amp;T's $39 billion plan to buy T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom in 2011 remains the biggest shadow
looming over big communications deals."<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <title>How Healthcare.gov Changed the Software Testing Conversation</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/FLrNlYx34eo/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An anonymous reader notes an article about how the tribulations of Healthcare.gov brought
the idea of software testing into the public consciousness in a more detailed way than ever before. Quoting:
"Suddenly, Americans are sitting at their kitchen tables &ndash; in suburbs, in cities, on farms
&ndash; and talking about quality issues with a website. The average American was given nightly tutorials
on load testing and performance bottlenecks when the site first launched, then crumbled moments later. We
talked about whether the requirements were well-defined and the project schedule reasonably laid out. We
talked about who owns the decision to launch and whether they were keeping appropriate track of milestones
and iterations. ... When the media went from talking about the issues in the website to the process used to
build the website was when things really got interesting. This is when software testers stepped out of the
cube farm behind the coffee
station and into the public limelight. Who were these people &ndash; and were they incompetent or
mistreated? Did the project leaders not allocate enough time for testing? Did they allocate time for testing
but not time to react to the testing outcome? Did the testers run inadequate tests? Were there not enough
testers? Did they not speak up about the issues? If they did, were they not forceful enough?"<p><div

+ <title>Is Ruby Dying?</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/aiyKTSOFnXY/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>New submitter John Moses writes "I have been working with node.js a lot lately, and have
been discussing with co-workers if node.js is taking steam away from Ruby at all. I think the popularity of
the language is an important talking point when selecting a language and framework for a new project. A graph
on the release date of gems over time could help determine an answer. The front page of RubyGems only shows
data on the most popular, but I am really interested in seeing recent activity. My theory is that if
developers' contributions to different gems is slowing down, then so is the popularity of the
language."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop"

+ <title>Scientists Predict Earthquake's Location and Strength</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/Vkv6GOhgzCk/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>A new study has been published in Nature Geoscience (abstract) detailing how scientists
correctly anticipated the location and strength of an earthquake earlier this year. On September 5th, a 7.6
earthquake rocked Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula. That region had seen earthquakes of (roughly) magnitude 7 in
1853, 1900, and 1950, so "geoscientists had forecast that a magnitude 7.7 to 7.8 quake should occur around
the year 2000, plus or minus 20 years." "The Nicoya Peninsula is prone to earthquakes because it's an area of
subduction, where the Cocos Plate is pushing underneath the Caribbean Plate, moving at a rate of about 8.5
centimeters per year. When regions such as this suddenly slip, they produce a megathrust earthquake. Most of
the world's largest earthquakes &mdash; including the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki quake in Japan in 2011 and
the magnitude 9.15 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake in 2004, both of which produced devastating tsunamis
&mdash; fall into
this category. .. The close study of this region allowed scientists to calculate how much strain was
building in the fault and in May 2012 they published a study in which they identified two locked spots
capable of producing an earthquake similar to the one in 1950. In September of that year, the landward patch
ruptured and produced the earthquake. The offshore one is still locked and capable of producing a substantial
but smaller earthquake, an aftershock with a magnitude as high as 6.9, the researchers say."<p><div

+ <title>A Flood of Fawning Reviews For Apple's Latest</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/lf5MDXFLliM/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>Like many other review sites, it seems that MacWorld can hardly find enough good things
to say about the new Mac Pro, even while conceding it's probably not right for many users. 9to5 Mac has
assembled a lot of the early reviews, including The Verge's, which has one of the coolest shots of its nifty
design, which stacks up well against the old Pro's nifty design. The reviews mostly boil down to this: If
you're in a field where you already make use of a high-end Mac for tasks like video editing, the newest one
lives up to its hype.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a

+ <description>Taco Cowboy writes with news, as reported by the BBC, that eight people have been
imprisoned in Dubai for creating a spoof video about youth culture in that country, for which they were
accused of acting "with the intent of inciting to actions, or publishing or disseminating any information,
news, caricatures, or other images liable to endanger state security and its higher interests or infringe on
the public order." "The video, posted to YouTube, was a gentle satire on young men in the Satwa residential
suburb of Dubai who adopt a 'gangsta' pose despite living the sedate, prosperous lifestyle more usually
associated with Dubai residents."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;">

+ <title>2013: an Ominous Year For Warnings and Predictions</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/SGNZaULl0Go/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>dcblogs writes "This year may be remembered for its striking number of reports and
warning of calamitous events. The National Intelligence Council released its Global Trends 2030: Alternative
Worlds report that included a number of dire possibilities ahead, including the prospect of a catastrophic
solar storm, on par with the 1859 Carrington Event. Historical records suggest a return period of 50 years
for a repeat of the Quebec-level storm that knocked out the power for 6 million in 1989, and 150 years for
very extreme storms, such as the Carrington Event, according to Lloyd's, in a report this year. Scientists at
the Idaho National Laboratory recently demonstrated in tests that 'geomagnetic disturbances have the power to
disrupt and possibly destroy electrical transformers, the backbone of our nation's utility grid.' This was
also the year the average daily level of CO2 reached a concentration above 400 parts per million. In a recent
National Academies r
eport this year, 'Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change: Anticipating Surprises,' scientists recommend creation
of a global early warning system to alert mankind to abrupt climate changes. A recent paper in Nature, Abrupt
rise of new machine ecology beyond human response time, said financial trading systems are driving
transaction times down to the speed of light, and 'the quickest that someone can notice potential danger and
physically react, is approximately 1 second.'"<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <title>Snowden Says His Mission Is Accomplished</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/mgl64FHUHIU/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Edward Snowden met with reporters from the Washington Post
for fourteen hours and in his first interview since June reflected at length about surveillance, democracy
and the meaning of the documents he exposed. 'For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission's
already accomplished. I already won,' says Snowden. 'All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say
in how they are governed. That is a milestone we left a long time ago. Right now, all we are looking at are
stretch goals.' Snowden says that the NSA's business is 'information dominance,' the use of other people's
secrets to shape events. But Snowden upended the agency on its own turf. 'You recognize that you're going in
blind, that there's no model,' says Snowden, acknowledging that he had no way to know whether the public
would share his views. 'But when you weigh that against the alternative, which is not to act, you realize
that some analysis is bette
r than no analysis. Because even if your analysis proves to be wrong, the marketplace of ideas will bear
that out.' Snowden succeeded because the NSA, accustomed to watching without being watched, faces scrutiny it
has not endured since the 1970s, or perhaps ever, and says people who accuse him of disloyalty mistake his
purpose. 'I am not trying to bring down the NSA, I am working to improve the NSA. I am still working for the
NSA right now. They are the only ones who don't realize it.'"<p><div class="share_submission"

+ <description>DeviceGuru writes "One of most widely respected repositories of embedded and mobile Linux
news and information has just returned to the web. LinuxDevices.com, which tracked the evolution of embedded
and mobile Linux from an unknown player to being at the heart of billions of mobile and embedded devices,
transferred from Ziff Davis Enterprise to QuinStreet through an acquisition two years ago, then went dormant
for a year, and finally vanished from the web in May. Now, through an arrangement with QuinStreet, more than
14,000 news items and articles are back online in the form of a LinuxDevices Archive, hosted by
LinuxGizmos.com. The archive is searchable from a calendar interface that lets you click on any month of any
year between 1999 and 2012, to see what was going on in that time period."<p><div

+ <title>Ulbricht Admits Seized Bitcoins Are His and Wants Them Back</title>
+ <link>http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/RC2oaKl8osg/story01.htm</link>
+ <description>An anonymous reader writes with the latest news about the aftermath of the Silk Road
shutdown "From the article: 'Ulbricht ... said in a notarised December 11 statement that he believes the
virtual currency should be returned to him because Bitcoins are "not subject to seizure" by federal law.
Ulbricht, 29, now admits the Bitcoin fortune is his &mdash; even though he's previously denied any
wrongdoing regarding Silk Road and claimed through his lawyer that the feds arrested the wrong guy.' So not
only has he now confirmed his link to the site, and confirmed the money is his, but also means that a few
precedents will be set. Is it seizable? Is it just 'copying data?'" Relatedly, three alleged moderators of
Silk Road were indicted on Friday.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;">
