Huge collection of (seemingly) legal programming books. Ex libris internetis

There is also this link it-ebooks.info ... But I'm almost sure that some of these books should be sold and not freely distributed...

Yeah, that one is looking more than a little bit shady.

Governments at all levels have been using GitHub for some time now to build better, more accessible websites, publish laws and data, and even collaborate on policies themselves.
Today we're proud to announced the launch of government.github.com, a website dedicated to showcasing the amazing efforts of public servants and civic hackers around the globe. Fork the government (before they fork you)

fork (v) - To raise, carry, pitch, or pierce with a fork.
I believe pitch we had already here...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Apparently our NSA buddies have a bit of a spam problem. Think about it. If they're grabbing every bit of email metadata they can get their hands on, what are they really getting? "But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game"

That's a whole lot of viagra adds...

Likely not. For their purpose, weeding out spam is very easy - spam is a one-way communication.
Spam is sent from hacked email accounts, (almost) every spam mail I receive was sent from a different account. And I never reply to it. When they try to build up the communication network, such spam mails can consequently be identified easily. Far easier for the NSA who have all of them than for us who receive only one copy each time.
When you want to trick the NSA with the spam, just send some totally unrelated emails to the senders and other addresses you found in cc somewhen later on. And also do that from a different account than the one receiving the original message...

If you use Open Source software, then giving vocal support really makes a difference to that Open Source Project as well as the open source community as a whole. We make it really easy for you to say what projects you use in your applications. Share the love

Ruby is a dying language. Business is over its dalliance with Ruby. No major startup is lauding their use of Ruby and existing businesses are migrating away or simply writing new applications in a different language. Ruby is dead. Long live the Ruby.
Or:
That sound you hear? That's a bubble popping.

The next major operating system incarnations will be available as ISOs and as virtual machines. Yes, this is a prediction on my part but it's a very good one. And he's virtually correct

I already have 8 out of 10 servers virtual. So be able to by it as ready-made VM image will save a lot of time.
It's already exist for Linux distros - http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/[^]
And Microsoft offered images for Visual Studio 2012, Internet Explorer and Windows 8 testing...

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?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

When Google and NASA announced plans to boot up an honest-to-goodness quantum computer at NASA’s Ames Research Center, it seemed like the beginning of something very big. This is why we can't have nice things
Yes, I should have done a "it may - or may not - be operating", but I just couldn't bring myself to it.
