People use flash all the time. HTML 5 is on the way, but until it's issues (codecs, full screen, ads) are worked out flash is still the only common option for video on the web.
Java on the other hand, nobody cares about. Other than a few specialty applications or very old websites Java applets have long been dead.
Sun's early poor design decisions and the resulting horrible performance (nobody like their whole browser freezing for 30 seconds while an applet loads) killed it long ago. Modern Java has somewhat fixed those problems, but it's too little too late, everyone has long since moved on to Flash. Macromedia/Adobe may not know much about security, but they managed to get passable performance out of flash back when it mattered.
There will be a lot of disappointed programmers from this program when they get out into the real world and find 99% of the jobs are building programs to generate TPS reports.
The solution is to stop letting HR people with no technical knowledge hire technical people.
This is what results in the common practice of putting a know-nothing idiot with good social skills in charge of doing technical work they can't handle.
A firewall isn't going to really help very much with the problem of an unpatched web server.
Either port 80/443 is open, or it's not. An IDS system may have helped but a standard firewall won't stop that exploit.
A restrictive firewall can make it more of a hassle for the hacker to get additional tools onto the server or data off, but it's not likely to stop them if they are skilled.
Reading TFA, it seems that conservatives are against it, free speech advocates are against it, even the porn industry is against it. Who is in favor of it at all?
That may be increasingly true today, but SSD that is fast enough to matter is pretty new, and a raid if spinning disks was the main option before them.
And of course you can always raid SSD. I have a database server running on a raid10 of SSD. Sadly raid cards complicate things a bit for ssd since few if any support trim, but in time it will come.
RAID itself isn't going anywhere as a performance option.
Pros: * Lots of quota (space, bandwidth, etc). * Lots of features * Good control panel * Good documentation
Cons: * Horribly overloaded CPUs * Horrible reliability. Their NFS file servers they run all site's off kept going down killing all sites in several servers in the process. I had accounts with them twice (about 1-2 years apart) and both times ended up canceling because of the server being down for days at a time.
Sales tax is still paid anyway on infrastructure used. The shipping company is (presumably) charging sales tax on the shipping price to the company sending it.
And since they have a presence in each state, they will pay the appropriate tax rate to cover whatever their share of the state infrastructure costs are.

They did read the riot act quite early. Thousands of people were still there.
There were a lot of cops, but they were still far outnumbered to arrest everyone.

The registrars.
Maybe not where YOU live.
Why would Cisco use Android? If they seriously want to compete with the iPad, they need to make it run ios.

And thanks to it not requiring activation and having support for running it's own dedicated servers, people still CAN play it.
"It appears the main culprit concerning playback issues with Avatar is, ironically, the disc's DRM"
That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The "DON'T PANIC!" was obviously the wrong message to display for something that was going to break your mail server.
Even for kdawson that is bad.
Godaddy likes THEIR extreme control. Allowing others control isn't something that would make them happy.
No they don't. They love to be anthropomorphized!
"similar to the Microsoft-Novell and Microsoft-Amazon deals regarding patents covering Linux functionality."
MS: You might be infringing on one or more unspecified patents.
Apple: You are infringing on these specific patents listed in the suit.
Not really all that similar. One is an empty threat, the other is serious legal action.
How this all got past all the editors is beyond me.
You must be new here.
No, the browser (and probably the web server) will give an error.

They should warn a guy. :)
They did. Unfortunately, you were not that guy.
Because it's explosively fun?

There will still be plenty of HDMI to composite converters coming out of China, etc.
Why should we trust Verisign? They are just as much puppets of the US government as CNNIC is to the Chinese government.
"didn't anybody at Widget Co. even try this software out before shipping?"
No.
