No, and it never will. Apple's support for "open standards" is limited to only support for such standards when they depend on proprietary formats like AAC, mp3, h.264, etc. No support for Vorbis, Theora, VP8 or anything that can be implemented freely without a patent license. You wouldn't want free software to be able to compete, would you?
AAC is not a proprietary format. It is a ISO standard. Perhaps you wanted to say FairPlay.
Everybody use it because everybody else use it, because it's so incredibly easy to get started with and most of them don't even know what the word "proprietary" means.
The flip side is that open source developers seem to be incapable of building up a community and connecting to people who "don't even know what the word "proprietary" means". See XMPP, SIP, GPG,...
Skype delivers one of the two binary softwares I use on a daily basis. And it
* is stable,
* works reliably and as one would expect it to,
* is free,
* doesn't have on par FLOSS rivals (sorry, ekiga, no) They develop a Linux version that is properly not making them any profit.
Yes it would be nicer if it was open source, or if someone developed (and built the community) an open source alternative.
But compared to what Skype is right now, the use would not be better by much.
Why is this even an issue? Isn't VLC based in France?
Were they using the source code from Nullsoft? Couldn't they rewrite the code themselves?

Interesting... a naming notation to describe the contents of variables. Hungarians like Kaminsky sure are smart
Hungarian notation duplicates information the programmer and the system already knows into the syntax. And its not comparable since there is no framework that checks if the programmer actually used the right prefix matching the variable type.
Here, the notation adds information the programmer knows to the system. One could also think of declaring or annotating a variable, allowing it to contain code. That this information is useful to the system (security) is known (W^X and the such).
He also literally says: "So, yes, Knuth and all the other CS dudes had their math figured out right. " A bit odd language for a paper... does that come from BSD mailing lists? Why does this page have comments? To mock xkcd? Well, I guess it isn't a paper. WTH is it?
Anyway, I think the argument is right as a whole: Algorithm analysis does also have to respect the factors that the O-notation hides (memory and cpuwise), and the way memory works. But I don't know, my Data Structures and Algorithms teacher was perfectly aware of this...
It requires developers to use different prefixes that describe variables of the strings, without requiring any major changes to their coding style, he says. And the resulting code is automatically formatted in such a way that can't be easily abused by the bad guys.
"Our system makes it very clear what is data and what is code without asking the developer to jump through hoops to make that expression" as with existing secure coding options for string-injection prevention, Kaminsky says. The tool establishes a boundary between data and code and then translates it for the destination coding language -- be it SQL or JavaScript, for example, he says.
Which means he enforces a convention on developers that aims to improve code security. Sounds smart.
I second that reocmmendation -- I have not found a better tool than lightroom.
Then you didn't look far. If you use f-spot for tagging and some geotagging tool like geotag, you have it all covered. F-spot is pretty good to tag/organise by person, location, date, etc., you can simple drag a selection of photos onto a tag. Everything is stored in the EXIF metadata, you can export it to the web,... everything OP wants. If he wants to use Windows7, there are free VMs these days.
Not sure what your definition of "deep thinker" is, but I think everyone will at some point, preferably repeatedly, reflect on what they are doing, how their environment (social and otherwise) is configured, and think of changes to the way things work, i.e. alter the rules of the game. Whether that is telling your boss your opinion for once, or joining an activist group.
I think Carr is arguing that with the Web constantly showing us something shiny dancing to techno, we never fall back on that natural reflection.
Smart or dumb. What good is a smart person when he does not use his brain?
So basically we have a system that uses Wake On Lan to wake the remote machine automatically for user requests, but also avoids waking it for stupid shit like pings.
I think it goes further, because it allows the PC to push at least part of its logic onto the proxy (like a VM).
The iPlatform is not really for people who develop for the sake of development - they'd never consider such a stifling platform. It's more a financial investment risk: things could pay off and you could end up very rich, or you might just find you've just poured time and money down the drain.
Help me, who did ever get rich through a iPhone App? And how does that compare to playing lotto [app fee]?
Now why Firefox would allow extensions to be installed from the outside without the user's permission is the question I have. That makes Firefox a good target for malware writers.
Windows Update can remove or rewrite your Firefox install any way you like, Firefox can't in any way control that. Also, your profile folder can be rewritten in any way by user run program (malware). There is no way Firefox could prevent that.
The only way to prevent things like this is OS security packages that enforce security policies (program A can write to folder B, program C may have TCP sockets). AFAIK RSBAC and SELinux are capable of this on Linux. But user home dirs, no way (how?).
Maybe in a few years we will have several C compilers, and OSS maintainers have to fix (or accept fixes) that make the packages compilable (like browsers). That will probably lead to better code (more security warnings, for one; better portability).
Come to think of it, there isn't really a system where all the make warnings/errors on the user end are sent back to the project and connected to resolutions (or stimulating patches). That'd be useful.

Bluetooth is known to cause WiFi interference and degradation. Perhaps some Bluetooth-device is in use.

If you fly there (800ly), accelerating constantly, you should see a good fast-forward movie of it (special relativity).

He does an interesting discussion on how to narrow the search down, although its gets scifi-ish now and then.

You don't understand all kinds of SQL injection attacks if you think prepared/parameterized SQL statements will save you.

I disagree. Oracle makes a pretty good and fast database. They also offer a free version for OSS and small companies I believe.

How can you even possibly *not* sanitize the inputs? Python's mysql module, for instance, does the work for you:
cursor.execute("select grade from grades where student = " + "bobby; drop table grades")
This is how.
Also, you have a bug in your SQL injection.
Yeah, typical. AT&T are the victims of brutal cyberweapons.
