Well it's neither. If your intent is to stop a specific attack with this modus operandi then not running Active Directory or Windows would be a sensible thing to do. Not that that negates all attacks, but it would negate the specific one outlined in TFS.
I doubt it. Buried at the bottom of TFA is this lovely quote:
"This small contribution is buried in larger changes due to other causes, such as atmospheric mass moving around on Earth," Chao said.
So this has less effect than wind. That's right, fucking WIND does more to the earths rotation EVERY SINGLE DAY. Still, nice hype job by the scientists, without sensationalism they wouldn't get the funding for the mundane crap.
I think the trick is defining what exists. Does time even exist, or is it an illusion caused by something else? While space seems to exist, do thoughts, dreams, concepts exist? If they don't exist, then can maths or science exist? Though I'm fairly sure multiple universes can be ruled out. If we define the universe as the sum of all that exists, there cannot be another universe, merely an extension of the universe.

Well Apple are hypocrites anyway - they say they are banning them for being degrading to women while keeping the playboy, sports illustrated etc. apps. It's not that they care about photos of women in swimsuits or naked being degrading, it's that they want to pander to those who think they are.
Your stance that consenting adults can decide whether they want to be naked or swimsuit models is admirable, but is unfortunately not shared by a vocal group of wowser feminists who have co-opted your movement.
Are you kidding? Mario ingests psychadelic musrooms and crushes innocent turtles to death, blithely kicking away the remains. Puzzle Bobble involves playing a monster who uses dangerous weapons to crush and destroy. Both are clearly unsuitable to anybody apart from drug addicts, animal abusers and vandals and anyone found in posession of such depraved material should be tried as such.
The Vermont Department of Health last month confirmed that the tritium contaminated water was reaching the Connecticut River, since one of the most polluted groundwater monitoring wells was about 15 to 20 feet from the river.
...
According to the Department of Health, there is a general increase in tritium contamination at the wells that do show the radioactive isotope.
The well that shows the highest level of contamination decreased a little on Tuesday, down from 2.52 million picocuries per liter to 2.4 million picocuries, according to the latest post from the Department of Health Tuesday afternoon.
The first well that showed contamination measured 39,000 picocuries, the next worst well measured 890,000 picocuries, and there were two other contaminated wells, one measuring 81,000 picocuries and another, 2,500 picocuries.
One well tripled in contamination in recent days, going from 6,900 to 23,000 picocuries per liter.
The federal standard for drinking water is 20,000 picocuries per liter.
The computers were locked down to the point that students couldn't even use the cameras, much less disable them. Attempting to jailbreak your computer to get around this could result in expulsion under their rules. The kids had absolutely no power over the situation, it's ridiculous to blame them.
In a strange twist, the makers of LANRev have come out with a statement saying that school network techs should never have used their software to engage in theft recovery: "We discourage any customer from taking theft recovery into their own hands," said Stephen Midgley, the company's head of marketing, in an interview Monday. "That's best left in the hands of professionals."
I've watched the 50 minute screencast repeatedly, where Perbix describes his use of this feature outside of school grounds repeatedly during a conversation with Absolute Software employees. They were enthusiastic... now they're throwing LMSD under the bus? I believe this can best be described as intense PR spin. It also completely confirms what I've asserted here, that LANRev was the implant of choice for this school.
The 50 minute screencast is of an admin at the school Mike Perbix pontificating on the virtues of his spyware, avaliable at the blog.
"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.
"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."
Can you at least see why some of the campers and parents were concerned?
Parent might be trollish about Apple but the 5800 is a touchscreen phone with flash lite 3 support (basically flash 8). It's not a fundamentally flawed concept at all, TFA is the real troll.
There's a real difference between Gutmann's early Vista analysis and this smear campaign. Gutmann was trying to peer behind a veil of secrecy to find what Vistas content protection looked like and sure he missed the mark but it was an honest attempt to evaluate what the future held based on MS, ATI and other presentations, press releases and patents.
Whereas this guy is clearly a shill out to smear MS based on blatant fabrication.
Because going after modchips and going after pirates are two seperate things. I would have no problem if Nintendo shut down pirates, but I have a huge problem with Nintendo wanting to shut down devices that have the mere potential of enabling piracy while ignoring the legal uses such as homebrew, dslinux etc.
Well they can screw themselves if they think the distributor commited a crime. It is used legally and should be sold, as are kitchen knives and balaclavas. Is it time to lock up the locksmiths as well?
You hit the nail on the head. If it was used responsibly, say full-body scanning used in a limited way like strip-searches are or cameras being activated on theft of a laptop there would be no problem, and such technology would be useful. Instead we get bone headed idiots wanting to invade the privacy of every man, woman and child in the country 'just in case'.

I hear one of the early Christians even shared wine with his friends at his Last Supper.

Any code out there is legible to those determined enough. This doesn't expose yourself any more than distributing an executable.
Indeed, Hippocrates used it, and it goes further even to ancient Egypt and the oldest known surgical treatise.

The leak was into groundwater. It was in no way harmless. From http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20100210/NEWS02/2100351:

The heartbeat is for the automated passive surveillance, the classroom recovery would have used active surveillance. Perfectly doubleplusgood.
Thank God for September 11!

It's not Brazils problem if your government doesn't represent the will of the people.

That's what the EPA and pollution controls should be doing, not a worldwide and industry wide tax.

They do care if you crack it open, modify it to circumvent their security and start playing pirated games on it.
Emphasis yours, not mine. Distributing a device which entails the possibility of piracy and actual piracy are not equivalent.
If you're not underage, file 'sick perverted bastard snuck a camera in my house and filmed me naked' charges.

Sure you need the wheelbarrow of cash, but alternatively being a successful homebrewer could definately land you a job in the industry.
