FBI: Ill. man planned to join Syrian extremists

The FBI has arrested an 18-year-old suburban Chicago man who U.S. authorities say was planning join an al-Qaida-affiliated group operating in Syria.

The FBI says Abdella Ahmad Tounisi (ab-DUH‘-lah AH‘-med too-NEE‘-see), of Aurora, Ill., was arrested Friday night as he tried to board a flight from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to Turkey.

Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

According to the criminal complaint, Tounisi carried out research online about Jabhat al-Nusrah, or Nursa Front. Nusra Front is the most effective rebel faction fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad‘s regime. The group is affiliated with al-Qaida in Iraq.

The FBI says a bureau employee posing as a recruiter for the group exchanged emails with the suspect.

On CAPS, 95% of the 629 members who have rated Intuit believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this year, one of those Fools, WildTing, succinctly summed up Intuit bull case for our community:

[T]he one thing that impressed me about this company is they don’t look like they’re afraid of innovation. A potential disruptor came by in Mint, and instead of running away or fighting it, they bought Mint and left it alone to develop. Solid company, solid financials, and still innovating. One of these “DUH” companies I wish I would’ve thought of earlier.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Intuit may not be your top choice.

Adventures in git

It has been a bit painful to learn to build from source, but I can do it both from git and from tarballs now. (Painful for me, and I’m sure even more painful for the patient devels who have helped me through my beginner mistakes. Thank you Amarok and KDE Multimedia devs, especially Harald and Myriam.)

Tonight, I was working with the developer of the wonderful little CLI application Rippit trying to get it to work on my system again. He gave me a patch to the tarball which cleared up one error, but then there was another, and GAH. Then I noticed that he used git, DUH, which I know how to clone from and then build. For instance, in this case, it was

mkdir rippit && cd rippit
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/rippit.git
cd rippit && mkdir build && cd build && cmake cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull $HOME/rippit/rippit

sudo make install

From the error message, Trever could tell that I wasn’t using the proper branch. So:

cd src
then, rather than ls to list all the branches,
git branch -a
git checkout remotes/origin/0.1 (I found this method on Stackoverflow. Thanks superlogical for your answer.)
From there, delete the build folder, and do the rest of the process as before. I love stringing together the commands with && which make it so much easier for me to copy/paste or use the up-arrow in Yakuake. I want to make it easy to rebuild so that testing can be quick.
Finally, a working Rippit again! Thanks again, Trever. You rock! KDE devels are the best.
