Looks to me like this was entirely Apple's fault. It was a known exploit for Java, and Apple just didn't get around to releasing a security update with a patched Java.
Nope, the CSIRO has done everything possible. They've been attempting good-faith licensing terms for years and getting rebuffed with "fuck off back Down Under, Aussie, you're dealing with the big boys now". They developed a technology that we all depend on and have been trying to get recognition of that fact for years.
I'm a nerd and I fucking hate patent trolls, but I'm applauding the CSIRO. They're the good guys in this fight.
America gets high and mighty about another country censoring the Internet. Next it will start criticising other countries for their dependence on fossil fuels, their dysfunctional systems of government, and invading other nations.
If there is something that can be used to market drugs by big pharmaceutical companies, then studies showing an increase in that something will appear as if by magic.
No, because netbooks were an evolutionary dead-end. Even if Linux had taken off and dominated the netbook market it would now be dead. Because netbooks are extinct. Everyone uses an iPad.
Spoiler alert: it's a pattern that foreshadows what happens at the end of the book. He lashes out in self defense against threats to his survival (or perceived threats) and immediately regrets it. It's not his fault that he kills. It is the fault of those who manipulate him and his peers so that these life-or-death conflicts keep occurring, without outside intervention.
Exactly. I for one feel nothing but pity, and dare I say admiration for the unshakeable determination displayed by the young Adolf.
Doesn't have to be 500 rockets. It can be 1 rocket and 499 distractions. Total cost of that attack, coupla hundred bucks. Total cost of the target - what, 5 billion dollars?
Marketing bullshit. Railguns and lasers would be utterly useless in a battle where a ship is trying to defend itself against, say, five hundred incoming rockets, drones, torpedoes, remote-controlled boats, and tiny speedboats.
The Royal Navy was just lucky that the Argentine Navy was just as wedded to early-20th-century naval dogma as it was itself. The Argentine Navy tried to fight capital ships with capital ships, because that's what they're for, and which no sane 21st century commander would do.
If you put a big expensive navy like the Seventh Fleet into the Persian Gulf in wartime in the 21st century, two thirds of it will be on the bottom in the first 4 hours.
This is the 21st century. Aircraft carriers are nothing more than floating coffins. Time after time in war game after war game, modern carriers go straight to the bottom - sunk by everything from 2-man crews in speedboats to ballistic missiles.
Aircraft carriers are the fucking Death Star and every man and his dog has an X-Wing and proton torpedoes. Floating coffins.

9600 baud MODEMS arrived in the 80s. Parent didn't say modem.

To misquote a movie I haven't even seen, "If you could have invented Instagram, you would have invented Instagram."
I use Instagram every day. It's fucking awesome.
And the developers didn't consider Android important enough to do an Android port until the iPhone app was just right.
All the information you require is contained within the first three words you quote. I guess you learned to read in the USA.

Yes, but one of those Acts resulted in a revolution. For the other the people have just bent over and spread their buttocks.

On the shadiness scale, next to the entertainment companies he is Doris Day.
Spoken like a typical Leftist.
Australia, as a whole is.... peculiar when it comes to Asians.
Yes, that real genuine UNIX sure does seem like a toy next to Linux.
No, because netbooks were an evolutionary dead-end. Even if Linux had taken off and dominated the netbook market it would now be dead. Because netbooks are extinct. Everyone uses an iPad.
As opposed to the other sort of swelling.
I never have any problems with these sorts of things on my main UNIX workstation, but then again it's an iMac.

ENDER. SHIT. ENDER.
Sorry.

NEVER SAW THAT ONE COMING
...to just imprison everyone, and let out only those who can prove they haven't committed a crime?
