Except that you could apply that logic to just about any hack. Any system will certainly be obliged to act on any valid instruction, it's the whole basis of hacking. So because I executed buffer overflow to root a machine means that that must have been authorized because the computer let me do it?
It's not as clear cut as people make it seem. Where are the lines drawn, and who gets to draw them.
Which doesn't apply if the device is used on private property. Federal and state buildings probably won't be able to make use of such devices for the reason you stated.
You can be an anti-social retard, just not on my lawn!
The TSA isn't asking who you are. They are requiring you without reasonable suspicion to turn over your property to get onto a plane. You always have the option to refuse and leave. No one has forced you to do anything.
Apache Tomcat is an excellent piece of software, in case you were implying otherwise. I work with it every day at work. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if the Apache license had a wider install than the GPL.
That being said however, doesn't make TFA any less than pure FUD.
All the equipment is consolidated in a server farm where ever your hosting company is, so they buy bulk bandwidth and resell it to you cheaply. With residential services customers are spread out and require last mile infrastructure.
Its closer to six days (like full 6 x 24 hours) and change of fully saturating your 15Mb/s pipe. 15Mb/s == 1.875 MB/s. Again I stress the fact that that is 100% saturation for 6 days straight.
There is a way to do the key exchange without using the classical electronic channel. Bob must retransmit his guesses back to Alice, and Alice tells Bob which ones were incorrect because Alice reads the response with her generated key. Eve has no clue because she can't know which methods for reading the photons Bob used.
The reason governments throw money at it is because whoever can build the first working one would theoretically have the keys to the kingdom. If a working quantum computer existed (and worked as theorized) suddenly secure communication over the internet would be a liability, thats assuming if one ever gets built (and works) and the public knows about it.
In this instance for this particular problem domain GPUs outperform CPUs because of the calculations they are designed to handle. This is not an indicator that GPUs outperform CPUs in ALL problem domains though.
The benefits outweigh the risks. Not having to manage physical media, and being able to download it an have it just work is really nice. I'm not really a collector of games so even if it does go belly up in 5+ years (arbitrary number there), I'll happily buy the game again out of the bargain bin if I really want to play it (though the only old game I still play on occasion is Starcraft), or better yet I'll use steam "offline" mode to play backup copies of the games I've purchased.
This makes me even more excited to see the coming fruits of the DirecTV/Microsoft partnership from CES last year. The dual satellite tuner for PCs. I hope DirecTV delivers the cable companies a swift kick in the arse.
The key (as related to WoW) is a ticket for a service not a reusable item. Once you have redeemed it, it is no longer good. The WoW software is perfectly usable by a third party you sell it to if you choose to transfer everything required by the EULA, but they have to buy there own ticket to make it work they don't get it for free just because you sold your software to them, otherwise whats to prevent an endless loop of reselling to keep redeeming keys for play time.
"From what I can tell, the prosecution has absolutely not proven Hans' guilt beyond the shadow of a doubt."
There is a difference between "beyond all doubt" or shadow of a doubt as you put it and "beyond a reasonable doubt".
If a jury had to be sure beyond ALL doubt then a prosecutor couldn't win a case based on circumstantial evidence regardless of how improbable any other explanation is.
I agree with this statement wholly. I work as a PC repair tech and most of what I see that hoses up a typical Windows install are things the user actually installed. Its very rare that I encounter something that slipped through a crack in the OS (read:exploit) especially in a fully patched Windows install. The payload for these kinds of malware generally seem to come from the freebies people download like screen savers, minigames, plug-ins or shady P2P apps. IE7 in Vista has no root permissions at all anymore unless the User grants that privilege for which they are asked for and then asked to confirm and people still get hosed up by clicking through it not thinking. Bottom line is, that the user is the computers worst enemy, people who install shady crap on there computer are gonna get burned regardless of what OS. Even if it prompts you for a password likely the user will just punch it in anyway.

Commit a serious enough moving violation, or enough smaller ones and you will be.

You can play backup copies in "offline" mode. Steam gives you the option to backup games locally.

In case you're wondering that was a joke. :)

Who uses quicktime when you can use VLC
No they can't, Sony doesn't control the Blu-ray spec nor can they stop MS from licensing it.
Sony doesn't solely control the Blu-ray spec (its the most vocal member of the consortium), so they can't sabotage it or stop MS form licensing it.
Good thing Sony doesn't control Blu-ray licenses.
