While I, too, found that part intriguing, the article mentions that the guy has been working as a prison guard since being rejected. Could be that he just wanted to make money by being a police officer and that department missed out on a great hire. Not to mention the fact that the nature of the work can definitely change as long as they're promoting from within.
Re:Ask HN: What do you use for Django integration with Facebook

Also, rather important note, if you are using (or see another library using) python-oauth2, note that that is _not_ providing OAuth 2.0 draft support.
It implements OAuth version 1.0 (check the source: https://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2/blob/master/oauth... and search for "Blaine")

Django-facebook is the only one I know of that will support the Graph API right now: https://github.com/tschellenbach/Django-facebook
For just the fundaments:
Facebook's own SDK: https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/blob/master/examples/...
or
Requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html
If you need more providers, there's also Django SocialAuth, but I'm not sure if it's updated for Facebook's OAuth 2 stuff yet.

This thing has been around for ages (hence the Flash). NNDB is kind of a weird thing, though, being created by the Soylent Communications people. I wonder how many people are charged with keeping it updated and whether some wiki features are in the works.

Why is it called Crondom? It sounds a bit like some form of 'protection' for cron.

I would love to see a hearkening back to those glory days of AMD product towering over Intel's Netburst, even if it's not in the "performance" segment of processors. This type of competition has only brought good things.

Microsoft Kinect cracked, no open-source driver quite yet
Re:Microsoft furious at $2,000 bounty for open source Kinect drivers

$2,000 seems low, really. The people who would be intrigued in this situation are doing it for the challenge and the glory. Two thousand would be an OK cherry on top, but if you really want to sweeten the deal, I bet with a Kickstarter you could get ten times that amount.

Re:Ask HN: Is PHP/MySQL Still Practical for Building Web Applications?
on Thursday November 04, 2010 @02:18AM (#1867903)
These answers are all pretty long. The answer is yes, definitely, without a doubt. Practical means "for use in practice" and PHP powers a lot of your daily web applications, especially the simpler ones. Judging from your question text, at your skill level, PHP is sufficient if not ideal for development, deployment, and performance.
MySQL is also fast and easy.

Re:VICI.tv - Just turned YouTube into TV (just for fun)
on Sunday October 31, 2010 @08:54PM (#1854913)
While this is true, am I missing something? VICI.tv doesn't have a fullscreen button. At most it just takes up 100% of the width of the browser window.
Unrelatedly, I am really enjoying this, but also am wondering if it was a conscious design decision to remove the progress bar? Usually TV ends on the 00, 15, 30, 45 minute marks, but here it's hard to predict when the current clip will end.

This is true, Chrome works no problem. Real slashes are the right method, though. Running it through Firefox (I'm on 3.6) would have revealed the issue.
