Americans like shooting with guns, because they always fight a war somewhere and also from their cowboy heritage. See Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" for more info.
...using the billions made from the Windows monopoly to drive competitors out of other markets, another example would be the Xbox which sold for less than the production cost in order to get a foothold in the console market.
Instead of taking the opportunity to break up with the past and start with something fresh, they add another layer of compatibility on an essentially 25 year old product. While this new layer contains some interesting concepts, those concepts are clearly targeted towards mainstream users, which might make it difficult to sell Windows 8 to businesses.
Couldn't agree more. Use Billions earned from illegaly abusing a monopoly to dominate another market. Same with Xbox. Ruin the competion by using the monopoly billions to sustain years of losses and buy into exlusive titles.
Isn't DPI equivalent to opening a snail mail envelope and reading and possibly changing the content? At least here in Germany, that would be illegal. Plus, when it comes to file sharing, aren't the ISPs arguing, that they only carry the data, i.e. they are only the messenger and therefore not liable?
Why are other countries looking into it but not the US? Isn't the true problem behind this, that information privacy isn't taken seriously in the US and that therefore companies can spy on their customers without having to fear any legal consequences? Who can blame US companies for doing what is legal in their own country? The solution has to be that information privacy in the US is taken as seriously as in those 'other' countries that are now looking into this 'locationgate'.
Exactly. Those machines were not installed to make flying more secure, but to make a few select people a bit more richer than they are already. This is how goverments work nowadays.
Or as Neil Armstrong would have put it: A small loss of security for the US, a big gain on security for the rest of the world. At least for a few hours.
I totally agree, fragmentation is the biggest problem.
Currently, we have two desktop environments that don't work, half a dozen video drivers for NVIDIA of which neither one really works, half a dozen ATI drivers of which neither one really works, 50 video players, of which neither one really works, 200 MP3 players of which neither one really works, etc etc etc
If all the hackers would focus on one working desktop environment, one working NVIDIA driver, one working ATI driver, one working video player, one working MP3 player etc....then we would see accenptance rise. Instead, every hacker is programming his own mp3 player and all of them suck.
Yeah I read the same issue ("Spektrum der Wissenschaft" here in Germany) and quickly wrote a programm for my Apple ][, only to be surprised of how slow it was. Later, I re-wrote the same program in 6502 Assembler using Merlin, and it took about 5 minutes to fill the 280x192 screen. Then I rewrote the program to directly print the Mandelbrot set on an Epson 800 printer in ESC/P on 15 DIN A4 sheets, spanning 1x1m. The program ran for 1 week on a Saturn 3.5 MHz accelerator card.
Did anyone ever care? Look at ACTA, SWIFT etc, whoever dares to resist will be smacked by the imperialistic hammer. It started with chewing gum and Coca Cola but if the development will continue like this, we'll soon measure in pound per square feet, ban nipples from TV and drink beer from cans wrapped in brown bags. And everyone will carry a gun and we'll play computer games that revolve around shooting at each other. Europe will go down the drain for cowboy culture.
Every time I see that kind of conversion in parentheses I have to think of Mars Climate Orbiter's fate. When will a nation that still calculates pressure in pound per square feet (hahaha that sounds so funny) make the step into the 21st century?
Deleting, renaming, or removing access to the authplay.dll file that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x mitigates the threat for those products, but users will experience a non-exploitable crash or error message when opening a PDF file that contains SWF content.
A initially rather secure document format (PDF) has become insecure because Adobe has added a plethora of mostly useless functions like Flash, Javascript etc to it.
I don't know why linux hasn't supplanted CE in this area
My guess is that most manufacturers have volume deals with Microsoft that explicitly forbid them to install anything else than Windows on their hardware. In exchange they get large rebates.

All Gigapixel web pages I saw use Flash to zoom around. Would it be possible to do the same in HTML5 and if yes do example sites exist?

I completely agree, this is so obviously a fake that I wonder why AppleInsider, and /. picked it up.

Does anyone know a good DDoS software that runs on Linux? The mono port of LOIC is awful.
Shouldn't it?

What does Windows 7 bring to your business that XP doesn't?
It allows you to run the latest breed of viruses.
Encoder seems to be available only for Windows.

Obviously only Hollywood companies are allowed to sue american citizens for file sharing.
