Maybe we should charge them for the packets their spiders and bots that keep pounding on our servers.

Totally.
If you think about it - if this was ever implemented - we'd have to start charging such ISPs to have access to our servers/pages et al. I'd charge them double what they charge users, and offer a rebate to users.
They were one of the first ones on board with the NSA program - aren't they getting paid enough already

IMAP support has finally come to Outlook.com. More than a year after overhauling its mail service, Microsoft today announced the immediately addition of IMAP to Outlook.com users. People still use IMAP?

HTTP I guess I'm one of the few that just uses the Web interface for GMail and Outlook (both .com and Exchange client).
Every time I try switching to an IMAP client, it goes ahead and creates a whack of folders, and that just pokes my CDO[^].
[edit] Or SMTP, of course.

Extra '.' at the end, fixed. It's an old joke, and I recall that someone here uses it as a sig, but it's nice anyway.

Why the elephant would someone use POP3 instead of IMAP?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would imagine "ease of implementation" (as in, "We bought a library that does POP3")

More than 11.6 billion miles away from Earth, NASA's Voyager 1 has finally reached interstellar space, scientists confirmed Thursday. "This... simple feeling is beyond V'ger's comprehension."
It's apparently official now.

A quick sprint with my design friend +Jeff Baxter led to a little experiment called Coder. It’s an open source tool that turns Raspberry Pi into a simple, tiny, personal web server and web-based development environment – just what you need for crafting HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while you’re learning to code OK, now I want to buy a Raspberry Pi

Ok, now I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

Let us know how it turns out. I'm at the "gotta buy a case of these and send it to all the local schools" stage at the moment.

Rocking! Thank you for this. Sorry about the breakage - JSON can definitely be like that. Getting all your [] and {} lined up can be maddening if you're not using a library. You got my 5 anyway.

When it ships on September 20, Apple’s iPhone 5s will be the first and only smartphone on the market powered by a 64-bit processor — but not for long, if Samsung can help it. And they'll support .. 8G networks. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I just love the Guardian's write up of this. The Guarniad[^]
Or, to be more accurate, I particularly like the way he gets pulled apart on his arguments in favour of 64-bit in a phone - you know because it improves floating-point accuracy. Reading the Comments is essential.

Here's a secret: GitHub isn't just for writing code. Too bad GitHub doesn't seem to care. I think many people will get the wrong idea from a "Pull request"

Imagine a team of lawyers researching a case and using GitHub to upload and annotate legal documents. Or co-authors writing and editing chapters of a book. Or even an online brainstorming session on GitHub, which would be stored and documented far more efficiently than a mess of flustered emails ever could be.
There's far better tools for brainstorming and managing a research project than GitHub, especially when it comes to merging changes, which any VCS does poorly with non-text documents. GitHub doesn't address the real issues that a project that involves a lot of "documents" encounters -- organizing, indexing, and cross-referencing the information in a meaningful way. Yet another example of "oh, here's a cool technology that will solve lots of problems". Sorry folks, it solves the wrong problems in this case, and there's better tools out there already.

Agreed. Versioning is such a small part of that kind of scenario, I don't see the value. Something like a shared Evernote or dare I say it - a wiki - would be more useful.
