I'm sure the CIA would love them to be developing bombs that have no net energy release. It makes givng them cupcake recipes look positively hazardous.
So if you happen to be passing through Waterbury, Conn., and see a solid gold milk truck driving itself through the streets, you'll know it's Jeff Bezos.
Fine. Life in prison for stealing lots of candy bars then. The principle is the same. As for your nationality I didn't mean to imply that Americans were the only ones with bloodlust and a deep thirst for vengeance. It's just that such people don't seem to make up the majority of citizens in many other countries.
In most countries you could be sentenced to consecutive sentences, and if you are a serial offender and you got a maximum sentence for each offence that would add up to a lot. I believe in the UK, it's 7 years for theft, so you could get 105 years for stealing 15 candy bars.
However, this has just about no relation to the actual sentences given. As MiniMike says, how would you fix this: make it a rule that you could get no more than X years, no matter how many offences you committed?
Jeez, I wish people would worry about actual injustice (which there is a plenty of in the world) and stop worrying about hypothetical injustice. Let's just ignore press releases when they toss stupid numbers around.
Hundreds of keys from a million accounts; less than one in a thousand developers screwed up. Call a doctor at once! Then ask him about outliers in large populations.
Are Internet-users in the UK actually limited to one ISP per area?
Most people end up using BT Wholesale's ADSL for the last mile, which is treated as a utility and regulated as such. Other ISPs use that but have their own arrangements for peering. Presumably they need to co-operate with BT to get IPV6 working, so they are doomed.
In urban areas, ISPs sometimes locate equipment in BTs exchanges and run their own backhaul network; presumably they are a little less dependent on BT. And there are ISPs like Virgin which bought up the cable networks after the dot-com buble burst who have nothing to do with BT at all.
Well indeed there is more than one possible reason, although minimising tax liabilities will no doubt something Google takes into account. Hefty taxes on moving money around in one of the financial capitals of the world is a rather unlikely one.
Pure Ad Hominem attack. No content here. Invalid content is invalid innately regardless of source, similarly valid content is valid regardless of source. It doesn't matter if the guy stands by the subway station carrying a sign that says magical leprechauns whisper in his ear it has no impact on the validity of his statements.
Not at all, the guy has a history of making dubious claims. It's perfectly reasonable to assign him a low a priori probablity of being correct. Sure, you could look at the evidence but life is too short to follow up every crank. It's not worth wasting the time reading if it can't even get published in a respectable journal.
If they know all that, what do they need computers for?
That's kind of the point. There's always some things you will have no idea about, and risk getting ripped off by asshole 'experts'. 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' covers that pretty well though.
Sure, being able to have the basics of a range of things can be satisfying. However, if you're going to be an entrepreneur you're going to need to learn the ability to manage people with skills you don't have.
Either way, if VMWare press the issue they will simply fork and go away, and VMWare will end as the leader of a deceased project.
It depends how hardball VMware want to play it. If they assert ownership of the code, and decline to release it under an open source licence then they can pretty much kill the fork as well. "Oh sorry, the code you thought was Apache licenced, sorry he had no right to do that - it's ours."
Moral: if you are working on a FOSS project, make sure you have disclaimers in writing from the company you work for. Double if you're the project lead.
As I said before, what Opera Mini is doing is the same thing. Though, I am not sure Opera Mini is doing it for https (maybe it does I just don't know). But Opera Mini tells you all the traffic is routed through them. Nokia Xpress Browser does not appear to tell the user (since some users are surprised of the behavior)
Yeah, that's happened to me. Shouldn't that just work, though. I mean unless you've invented time travel, why wouldn't you accept a cert that's before its validity period? Is there a vulnerability use case that I'm not aware of?
If your clock is resets to 1980, you don't know which certificates have expired. If you accept all, you run the risk of accepting a genuinely expired certificate. Although it would be more helpful to have the OS report implausible dates.
Don't most Windows computers (and I'd imagine all mainstream) support 64-bit now?
Most processors do but typically XP is 32-bit. Given it has a huge market share for such an old OS, one might guess say 30% of machines. According to Steam survey Windows 7 (32-bit) 14%, XP (32-bit) 10%, and that's gamers.
I doubt there's any productivity gain by the people who write in a particular style but I think corporations want things done a specific way so other people can work on code someone else developed.
Agreed, code is write once read many; it's a bad sign if a developer thinks their time is more important than everyone else's. Spending time in code reviews on it is clearly wasted though, when it ought to be automated. Someone will no doubt point out that Alt/beetroot soup/testicle in Emacs does the job.

I did injure that patient but in my defense I was temporarily blinded by a huge lens flare...
"But what about the terrorists?"
I'm sure the CIA would love them to be developing bombs that have no net energy release. It makes givng them cupcake recipes look positively hazardous.
What if that's stolen next time!
You'll just have to use the burglar's CCTV system.

Sigh, you need to go back and read the link you posted:

I can assure you that if it was an SQL injection attack, you would remember it VERY clearly, as it's a very distinct type of vulnerabilities.
It does appear that SQL injection attacks are what he was accused of. Slightly less one-sided story from CBS news

Except it's to avoid US tax they are doing this. Reuters article.

Opera Mini does indeed do it for https http://www.opera.com/mobile/help/faq/#connection
Likewise, its debatable whether it counts as 'interception' for the purposes of RIPA.
I presume GP was joking, as none of the above were invented in the US.
It's odd that rngd is an 'ambitious new feature.
You need to fix your English parser. An ambitious set of new features != a set of ambitious new features.

In China, at the same day that the USA incident occurred, a guy has killed 0 kids with a knife and they are not thinking to forbid the knife.
FTFY.
The same day as the Newton tragedy, in China, a psycopath killed 20 children with a knife.
Wrong example to choose, since all the children survived the attack, at least initially.
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply in detail; it also answers the original question better than I could.
