Absolutely. His intent was to provoke "in the name of art" and it cost him. Idiots like this just help to validate the roles these TSA take up. A slap on the wrist and a 'go away now' wouldn't stop other idiots from attempting the same thing.

At least they caught the guy - imagine how he'd try to paint the TSA as useless if he was allowed on through.

You poke the bear, you get the horns.

1) If he wanted to provoke in the name of art, then it didn't cost him, he managed to achieve his objectives.

2) Being able to smuggle a watch through security at an airport wouldn't be grounds for much celebration.

3) What kind of bears have horns?

4) We don't know the full details (the official story could be wildly exaggerated), but if the TSA over-reacted then it doesn't really matter what the intentions of the artist were. If the artist was just a dude with a strange watch or if he was trying to show us the limits of our freedoms, our freedoms are still limited.

What of free speech? And the roles you think this validates of the TSA? As fashion police?

But why is there a need to poke the "bear" anyways? You obviously see that the TSA is something to be feared, why should it be feared by those who mean no harm? Food for thought.

I've had a single virus on a windows machine, and I was about 90% sure that it was going to be a virus and wanted to see what happened.

I don't run anti-virus software, but I think it's only the power users that are capable of doing so. User education is still too low. Would you trust your parents or grand-parents to "not install a virus" ?

Really really impressive! Django development on windows is a PITA (compared to linux/mac), and all other (free) IDEs that I've taken a look at haven't really given me too much. I'll definitely give this a go for a test application to see what it does for me.

Thanks! Would love to get your feedback. Note that you can use PTVS for Django development/debugging & then push to a cloud of your choice (ie, not Azure) as well. See this link for some info: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/tutorials/...

What are the clouds of your choice other than Azure? I don't see them mentioned in the tutorial. I'm on Windows but my Python projects are on a Ubuntu VM and I push to AWS, Racksace Coud, dedicated servers, etc. My project can also interact with the shell, phantomjs, node js, Redis, etc. How can I benefit from the VS IDE for my python projects? I've seen mentions of Linux clients but not sure what they mean. thanks. I'm dearly looking for a good IDE with debugging support.

Sorry i should have been more clear. I meant that you can take advantage of PTVS's editor/intellisense/template debugging facilities for Django, but then take further steps to push to another cloud yourself. Some folks have used PTVS this way for their MPI debugging w Linux for example. Also, Amazon has a good add-in for VS to interface with their cloud which maybe of use in your scenario: http://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/

Forgot to answer part of your question - the Linux/MacOS Client Libraries are a set of Python bindings for the services that Azure provides. They're hosted on Github here: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-python ; and you can see a video overview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDvqNP_Ja5s&hd=1

Thanks for the answers! Very helpful.

I love this mainly for the crafting of the query. It would probably be worth extracting that piece out into a separate application of its own, so other Admin models are able to build out filtering in a similar manner.

Totally agree, it is crazy useful! Also agree it would be nice if it could be based off of something besides User (Django's ContentType framework might be the right bet there).

Looks really great, congratulations.

A few things I picked up on though:

1. Couldn't toggle Absolute/Relative after I had placed a tooltip.

2. If you position your tooltip then click the "Display Next Button", the arrow moves, but the positioning stays the same (with a side arrow). Just a UI bug.

3. Instructions on the syntax to use for javascript event field.

4. Binding to an element would be nice.

5. Having the "Next" button move on to the next tooltip, hiding the old, and displaying the next. I think I'd like to use that flow rather than seeing all the tips at once.

Thanks! We'll look into those issues; additionally, we'll be adding a bind to element feature in the future.

Am I the only one that really dislikes the pinterest style layouts? Off center, mis-aligned .. I don't know how anyone finds it usable.

Came expecting news that the app store would not launch in iOS 6. Title is definitely more provocative than it needed to be.

And remember the myriad of cables that came with each new model of each brand of phone? A different cable, 10 years later. Yet when companies blindly continue with compatibility at the expense of all else, you get a different bandwagon of people complaining about THAT!

"How dare apple charge for a new cable". Meh, whatever - it's $10.

This sounds nearly the same as how I manage my Inbox. People at work know that I "dont give a shit" about email, and won't send me random nuff nuff stuff.

If it's a task that needs doing, put it in the backlog or task list, and I'll get to it when it's the next task in my list.

I check my email three times a day - when I get in, after lunch, and just before I go home. If you need a response earlier than that, then pick up a phone, walk over to my desk, or speak to my manager and he'll filter out the bullshit.

Having a reputation for not responding to email, and not using email as a task list or document store prevents most people from using it for that purpose towards me.

I live at Inbox "I dont care" for the majority of the day. Don't really understand how people get so bogged down in it.

And what about using a pepper in addition to a salt? Then a potential attacker requires access to application code as well as the database tables.

I can also imagine some kind of DDOS against the database using the linked system.
