That's why we have tenure in the United States. "Publish or perish" exists until the professor gets tenure and then it's not as much as an issue any more.
He/she doesn't have to try to do this on his own but seek employment with a consulting company that does. stry_cat, pick an open-source package you like and do a Google search to find companies that support that package. Then you can use LinkedIn to contact people inside that company to see if they are hiring.
Alternatively, you can contact IBM, Red Hat, Apple(?) or someone like that which works for money in the open-source arena.
Wouldn't it be nice to have just one consumer electronics manufacturer that made all their stuff in the first-world and paid their workers decent wages? It might be nice to have at least one TV, DVD player and cellphone option that I didn't have to feel guilty about.
I'm sorry, if it's manufactured in the first world, you can only afford one. Which one do you buy? The TV, the DVD player or the cellphone?
Yes. This article explains that the carriers have gotten to the point where they give away Android phones for free. Soon, all of the phones will be smart phones and feature phones will go by the wayside, but that doesn't mean the users will use the phones for more than making phone calls and texting.
Many people with Androids are not using a single smart-phone feature. I guarantee you that every iPhone user is using a smart-phone feature. Apple still may have more smart phones actually used as smart phones than Android.
"The iPhone 4S supports HSDPA 14.4 and HSUPA 5.76 for GSM/UMTS-based carriers like AT&T, alongside CDMA2000 1x/EVDO Rev.A for 3GPP2 based carriers like Verizon." The article claims HSUPA is another name for HSPA+.
@SuperKendall: I agree with you. I check my 4S every night and, if the battery is at 75% or less, I charge it. I have a charger in my car but not one at my desk. So far, I haven't had any problems with running out of charge.
Around here, bank robbers rarely have a gun, let alone a radio. Before someone pays $5,000 for a radio, they'll pay $1,000 for a computer and rob a bank that way.
Other than possibly a more thorough job of testing, the only thing I would add is user acceptance testing. Does the program do what the user thinks it should?
To me, deliberately jail breaking your iPhone isn't malware. And, from the article you quoted, "the security impact of these vulnerabilities will remain theoretical." You're making a big jump by going from something that you initiated to something that happens by visiting a maliciously-coded Web site.
Because the whole antivirus industry is at risk. Eliminate malware and a whole section of the economy just shrivels up and dies. I sympathize with those who make good money on others' misfortunes.
A quick Google search will give you the full text for free. Where is the basic fact checking when we need it? Why do people get so worked up over false statements? By the way, a major asteroid is going to hit Earth tomorrow. Panic, everyone!
I think the best illustration of your point is the fact that six Walmart heirs have as much wealth of the bottom 30% of Americans. Isn't it ironic that Sam Walton built a chain of discount stores that exploited workers (possibly forcing his employees to shop there because they couldn't afford anything better) yet ended up being fabulously rich despite the discounting.
The original comment is well thought out and there isn't much objection in subsequent comments. I don't see where the spam is that you're referring to; he's not shilling for a product.

"Dynamical" is the same as dynamic so why the unnecessarily long word? Unnecessarily long words contribute to global warming!

I'm confused. The new policy goes into effect March 1 and today is the last day to erase the old?

Since when was Apple faceless?

Apparently you don't understand that the 30% is essentially the cost of running the store. Apple makes only a little bit of profit on the App Store.

Agreed, building a bomb requires a lot more jobs in a lot more congressional districts than writing malware does.
How much does Stuxnet weigh? Yet it did much more damage than one of these bombs would. They are trying to solve the problem the wrong way.

You're right! On phones, security through obscurity. Why would anyone target Mango when they have millions of Android phones available?
And, of course, the main PC platform prone to issues is Windows. But we get called Linux/Apple fanbois when we do...
When you have an example of this actually occurring, let me know.

They just need enough money to buy a rock of crack. Tomorrow is another theft for another rock.

He is apparently a paid cheer lady ...
He says he doesn't work for Microsoft, that's another person with the same name.
