Yeah, "frequency of patches" is a useless metric. "How much time the user loses to software patching" would have made far more sense.
Developer PROTIP: Unless you've fixed a huge, critical issue, just silently update your program the next time it's shut down. Don't notify me about regular updates, and don't make me manually check for them - I'll forget. And whatever you do, don't make your updater load every time I start my computer.
If someone has physical access to your machine, then you have already lost.
Quoted for truth.
If someone can gain access to your datacenter power systems remotely and change output voltages, your admins are idiots and you've got more problems than just a RSA vulnerability. And if someone already has physical access to your server thats performing the encryption in the first place, is it any surprise that they can bypass said encryption?
Maybe they should use some music whose artists aren't several hundred years dead, then perhaps the artists could have a very interesting discussion as to the use of their music...
If you're at home, you've got a bigger screen. If you're at work, or a McDonalds/Starbucks/whatever, you probably won't be watching movies. I can see some applications for this, but not being able to use it outside a hotspot certainly hobbles it.
On the other hand, I'm sure a lot of AT&T customers won't complain, as US cellular bandwidth is already spread thin.
I'm reaching stratospheric levels of dweebiness here, but when I read it I suddenly remembered a Star Trek scene:
Worf: Very well... Room service. Dax: Really? Worf: Really. Dax: Oh, that was easy. Worf: Did you want to fight over it? Dax: No, it's just, I didn't expect you to surrender so quickly. Worf: Surrender? Dax: Bad word. Worf: Very bad.
We'll never run out of plastic. Don't forget that "oil" came from biological sources. It'll be more expensive than just pumping the stuff out of the ground, but as long as there is life on Earth we'll be able to produce all the polymers we need.

Speaking of native apps, it's kind of funny how every new smartphone repeats this:
Apple, 2007: Javascript is good enough!
Apple, 2008: Okay, okay, here's a C SDK.
Google, 2008: Java is good enough!
Google, 2009: Okay, okay, here's a C SDK.
Palm, 2009: Javascript is good enough!
Palm, 2010: Okay, okay, here's a C SDK.
Microsoft, 2010: Silverlight and Flash are good enough!
It works, mate!
(...but to be fair, a real attenuator pad really is nothing more than a few 5-cent resistors)
But the Audio Pad makes your music sound more... mercurial, or whatever the adjective is this week.
No.

Well, if I was the aliens, I'd hold out for THE PRESIDENT OF EARTH.
since there isn't any way to say "repeat"
Actually, there is.
Not Science? Not Science???
I'm doing a series of papers on the Procedural Generation of Headlines in Science Journals, you insensitive clod!
In January 2010, Apple announced the iPad.
The iPad is a tablet form factor computer due to be released in 2010.
Within one line of each other, one post is talking about the past tense in 2010 and the future tense in 2010... Oh, the horror!

From what I saw, drattmann/h0nee is a username/password used in the ARG, apparently giving you access to a BASIC program that generates this:

Definitely a mock-up. ASUS has no idea when it might become a real product. You can hear it straight from them.
"...We're not sure our OS and Office monopoly will last forever, so we'd really like to see if we could actually turn a profit on something else."
Funny? Try Insightful.
Oh, and:
Discovering you just spent a ton of money to make the pirated version more attractive: Doubly Priceless.
That's why they have to simulate a bunch of fake people using myspace to do load testing.
To be fair, they're more intelligent than the real people using myspace.

It's a nifty attack, but not terribly practical.

I suggest Rage Against The Machine.

Those tattoos and armbands were bloody handy.
OH NO, IT'S GODWINZILLA! AIEEE!

Safari will almost always (almost 50% of the time) be put in the bottom two elements [out of five].
And how well did you do in statistics class?
The one set is free, the other set involves taking my money and giving it to someone else.
Which rights, pray tell, are the "free" ones, that cost no money, effort, or lives to enforce?
