I am just going by the way its written, though to be fair it is a journalist writting it so....
Mind you I wouldn't be supprised if it was just moved to a hidden dir just in case on the slight offchance you (or the police) wanted to find it again.
Once the setting is chosen, others using the same computer will not be able to see which sites have been accessed. Other browsers have similar functions, but this one is far more prominent. Although casual users cannot see the previous user's search history, authorities such as the police will be able to access it if necessary.
So basically the data still exists, just people who nothing will not be able to see it, I knew we were wrong in all those security model that try and keep the experts out. It's really Joe "average" Blogs we should have been protecting against all this time.. DOH!!!
I'll definitely be surrendering Firefox for IE now..
last I checked $325 was about £150 (infact since you have irrated me $325 = £180.56 @ £1 == $1.8)
Since you have difficulty understanding my meaning I'll write it here so its very simple: I was implying that I was annoyed that they paid £150 (I took £1 to $2 ish) and that when it does come to the UK it will be £1500 (10x what they paid)
Management are blaming Perl for the problems when really they should be blaming the management and design procedures that were in place (or, more likely, werenâ(TM)t in place) when the code was originally written.
I think this is the key paragraph. Everyone knows that management can't blame management that would imply they were in the wrong
Yes, because Microsoft is just bending over backwards to support it's customers when they have problems. It's not like anyone has to google through forums to find solutions for windows problems because Microsoft's support is SOOOO outstanding.
Actually we had an issue in work during an AD upgrade, phoned MS they charged us £200 before taking to us, couldnt resolve the bug, we found a fix and told them, they said "umm should be ok to do that" (ie they had no clue). And we never saw our £200 again.. Now THAT is what i call real support!
On another note I have a dell vostro 1500 and ubuntu support for it out of the box was crap, 7.04 installed but wpa2 wireless was very unstable & ubuntu would not boot without me loading piix, same with 7.10 (to be fair though 7.04 was out before the vostro was released & 7.10 was out 2/3 months after it was released). 8.04 on the other hand is flawless out of the box wireless just works,no mucking about, install is fine again no mucking about. So essentially 1 release (I wont count 7.10 as it was released too soon after the vostro to have been able to really tested against it) after the vostro was released by dell ubuntu supported it flawlessly out of the box.
The BIOS should implment things at the Hardware level, it should then provide the said features through a standard API and then OS manufacutures should call things through said API and do what they do at a software level.
I really wanted my Hotmail account to be compromised when my Google/Myspace/Facebook/Amazon/Ebay/Paypal accounts are all compromised by the single sign on. Now they will have to get my OpenID AND my Passport logons.
Seriously...with the internet being such a dangerous place for the average user. How in the freaking hell is a single sign on going to make it better? I mean really now this seems monumentally stupid. And worse the summary tries to blast MS for not supporting it. For all the many things to bitch about MS..."They won't sign on and support one of the dumbest security ideas on the internet" seems pretty counter to the normal complaints that they do stupid things when it comes to security.
With any luck some banks and credit cards will adopt this. So now you can have everything stolen from you with a single username/password combination that was probably lifted from you through a fake website or one of the dozens of account stealing malware bits that you installed to get "OMG Ponies Wallpaper & Pointers!". For bonus points, being able to pull a drive by install of malware to steal this account from a MySpace banner and then using that to steal all of their money, email addresses, and social webpages would be great. Bonus points if you manage to auction off all of their personal possesions through their ebay account and then keep the money through their paypal account.
The question that does remain is were they smart enought to protect their personal collections???

See what happens if you download illegal songs....
Come on really why do we care.. I'll be dead before the turn of this century so why on earth would I give a tupney about about people in 10000years..
besides by that time 1 of 2 things will have happened.
1) Humans will be extinct (ironically) due to a nuclear war.
2) Humans will have left earth and be living onboard battlestar galactica and looking for a new earth as this one will have been raped of all its resources & only a inhabitable husk will remain.

Was that simple enough for you?
well, I read an article about how to arrange gadget chargers on /. main, and i watched this video.
The video was the better of the 2
indeed especially when they got theirs for ~£150.
Since they patented it and are licensing it, it's not really free is it?

Well, because Windows IS a better, deeper experience. DUH!
Yes and Gary Glitter is an upstanding member of society.
I reakon that the "anti-invisable cloak" device will be thermal imaging googles.
Everyone knows that 98.9254% of all statistics are made up.
I wonder how this was handled with FO3.
The kids run away and the adults attack..
I cant see them.. :D
:D
Has it occured to anyone that once you take the cloak off you had better not set it down?
It really adds a whole new level to losing your keys if you set the cloak on them by mistake.
On a brighter note voyeurism just got easier..
Well if you are fucking stupid enough to phone 999 for something that is not an emergency then really you need help and donâ(TM)t deserve the privacy.
Also you should be charged with wasting police time.
On the privacy note they have respected your privacy; no personably identifiable information has been released.
I pay for all the software i can in USD and then download it. Simply because the exchange rate is soo good against the dollar.
I recently bought a powercommander for my bike in the US and shipped it to the UK as it was £250($500) in the UK and $230(£115) in the US..
...
At the next corut hearing:
Childs' Lawyer: "I rest my case your honor."
I actually have to agree.
The BIOS should implment things at the Hardware level, it should then provide the said features through a standard API and then OS manufacutures should call things through said API and do what they do at a software level.
Fuck, He is luck he ain't in the UK.. Not giving up your password is automatic Jail Time here..
