Quarterly results and "going under" are not always correlated. You probably are new to financials and management. Running for quarterly results is the worst long term decision any CEO can make. When a company invests in something substantially new it will always have impact on quarterly results. That is why most big and public companies don't make huge leaps, unless the company is a substantially R&D oriented company. And that is why small companies get bought out.
Startup companies can burn money and have quarter results in the red and yet be valued in the billions of dollars in the end - that is strategy. Quarterly results is tactics. If startups were public companies, then with the very next red quarter people would divest and company would go down without reaching any high value goal.
Consider this: Seeking a strategic goal is like waiting for the cookie dough to bake before eating the cookie. Seeking quarterly results is like eating away the raw cookie dough every 5 minutes and ending up with one baked cookie. Needless to say, a baked cookie is much more valuable than raw cookie dough.
Having good benefits is a reason not to get unionised!?!?!?
Unions are there not only to fight for something new, but to make sure that benefits aren't taken away without a good reason. Getting quarterly results up is not a good reason...
Yeah... No... A single 5770 is nowhere near dual Teslas. But yeah you got the point for scaling problem. Yet, it's not as drastic as you express. Cracking an average English speaking user's account has the base of 62(26+26+10)
Easy! Most of them keep their PCs on 24/7, because Torrents need to run! And finding a 100 people in a large university dorm that have the equipment and a few hours of their "downtime" is easy. Maybe you've been out of college too long ago or are one of those that I wouldn't contact for help...
If you're a hacker, my bet is you have at least 10 more friends with recent gaming rigs... And guess what? The problem is embarrassingly parallelizable. 4.8 days for a 9 char password(worst case, btw)
Maybe properly define reverse engineering in the copyright law so that not everything is allowed? Though using the reverse engineered protocol implantation to access the original service is perfectly legal under most copyright laws.
Doom? Aren't you exaggerating the issue?
In the context of the article: It's basically like saying installation of unsigned Windows applications that don't use the Trusted Platform Module should be banned because there are infected versions on warez sites, forums and torrents. But since this is Slashdot, you probably didn't even RTFA.

Owning an Apple device, never disappoints! They even think for you and disable things "you don't need"...
What's wrong with hardware patents? That was the original area of impact of patents, not what they can cover today...

It's an issue of lining one's pockets at the expense of ordinary people. France laws are crazy, Loire valley castles are copyrighted. (See http://www.istockphoto.com/tutorial_copyright_list.php)
+1. And that is not even a joke!
You underestimate how much of that "latest and greatest" is developed in China and India.
for anything with real value attached to it
You should use two factor authentication for anything of real value.

who said it'll become legal? Maybe it'll be easier for them to sue you.

Rent a few Amazon AWS Cluster GPU Instances and your 15 char password is broken for a mere 4 to 8 USD... Get the point?
If you intercept the hash in HTTP Digest authentication or NTLM token, then there is no need to go through a "challenge/response routine"

Sideloading = installing apps from secondary channels.
But I bet they have priority access...
Are all pirated iOS apps free of malware also? Or are you too lazy to even read the summary?
Apparently reading skills are not required in the walled garden...
And how is jailbreaking performed? Oh... Right... By exploiting security bugs.
So... How is jailbreaking performed? Oh... That's right, by using security holes.
Yet even then you have to enable Unknown Sources.

That is the treat of sideloading. And I wouldn't give it up for anything.
No... He couldn't find the right way to do it in Office 2007.
