Microsoft is a company, there goal is profit. Not security, not saving the enviroment, not making linux geeks smile. They want money. As every company on earth does. That is where the line is drawn. Exactly where it becomes unprofitable.
To me it seems that most people are "trolls" or start "flame threads" on internet forums not because they are aggressive people due to a lack of tangible idenity. Instead it seems they are like that in there real lifes. The same people who are likely to borrow your hammer for 3 months, let there trees grow into your yards, won't let you in during rush hour. These are all actions people will take because they are relativly passive-aggressive. As such, they are not directly insulting you at all. They are instead forgetful, in a hurry, busy, that kind of thing.
Take for example the idea of a person starting a thread on a gaming site claiming that PS1 is where the real gaming is at. He could either do this on a PS1 gaming site, or on an xbox forum, or on a forum that is meant to discuss knitting. If he does it on the PS1 site, he is insightful. On an xbox forum it is a flame thread. On the knitting forum he is widely ignored. Now, is he truly a troll or starting a flame thread on any forum? No. He is simply stating his opinion. Even if he says "PS1 pwns that faggoty ass micro$oft pile of nazi shit" that is simply his thought on the subject. Regardless of how he expressed it, he is not a troll for that. He is simply misguided, he becomes a troll when people starting calling him troll.
In Summary: You're a troll once labeled that, and people are less likely to label you a troll in real life because they can see you as a person. On the internet you are labeled a troll because "its the thing to do about that."
Having roomed with several blooming physics majors lately.. I can tell you one thing about physicist. They are close minded fools. A very high majority of them. It is the way the book says, or nothing. There is no inbetween. Which I always found odd considering every 30 years or so physics seems to go "Oh shit... we were wrong."
The internet was found dead in its apartment today. Appearently from a broken back. A short statured man was found near the crime scene trying to limp home. Upon being arrested by ICANN the man was heard screaming "but YOU TUBE! YOU TUBE! I KNOW YOU TUBE!"
It is survived by ARPANET, and SneakerNET. As well as PigeonNET

I don't think you relize just how SMALL this market TRULY is.
This will only work on these conditions:
1. The person spoke properly BEFORE.
2. The person has a muscle problem/lack of proper equipment to speak/nerve issue
3. The person is still mentally all together.
Its a small market, and for that small market it might be "acceptable" for 80% speech accuracy, but for the real world its not. This is not like making them talk again, this is like letting a cripple walk without crutches. Still can't run, still can't play sports, still can't walk too far incase the equipment breaks.
Sure!:) The section of the law(if you want to look it up) is Section 202c StGB. The law basically say it is illegal to possess, distrubute, sell, or *create*, any software which has the ability to displace security. Such as cryptography.. he "uses his own program" to decrypt the message. Which in turn displaced its security..
Now I do not really believe this is illegal under german law.. but I am saying that I would not be suprised if someone tried to charge him.
Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Washington Mutual, and Chase all annouced there new "PC Home Equity Loans". Averaging at 5.8% APR(OAC) you can take out a home equity loan for the purpose of purchasing a 1TB SSD.
Thats the big difference, is that windows took something that natively works on a PC, and pushed it to a cell. It works, and people are familiar with it because it is a PC.. but it doesn't work RIGHT. Google though made something for the cell, then is releasing it on PC for development(for the moment) and will push it to cells..
yes but windows mobile is not exactly "User friendly". Its still marketed more towards CEO's and always gotta be in contact buiness type. They have not made a push to make it "cool" like google undoubtedbly will.
No offense intended..
But you should be finding these things on your own and creating patches.
Not releasing it out for your customers to locate. Its as if I buy a truck from Dodge/Nissan/Toyota/Wherever and I get it home to find out that if I hit it off after driving for 30+ minutes, and try and nhit it back on, it will only go in reverse.
I expect that fixed ASAP. Not 4-6 weeks.

After several days of bickering about which part of there personality was most dominant Tuvok and Spock have to do a threesome mind meld in order to seperate the individual personalities. After several intense shots of tuvok and spock both appearently giving birth(facial expressions only) they both suddenly stop and lock at eachother. Appearently in shock.. they announce to the world that the winner of this battle of personalities was no one but:
Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds.
Shortly after this serenity was seen flying off.
You may think this to be satire.. but with the cluster fuck that this new movie promises to be, I might actually wish they made mine instead of theres..
36 of the offenders, which averages out to be 57.1%, had previous charges. The most common charge was sexual battery, with the number of 24 and an average of 38.1%. Source: http://www.geocities.com/capitolhill/lobby/6027/research.htm
Thats over half of them had previous charges of sexual battery/assault or something of the like and that indicates they were charged with it. Then either aquited/plea bargained out/some sentence, and then went to offend AGAIN.
Also:

which cites: Kan. Stat. Ann. 59-29a01 (1994) (preamble to Sexually Violent Predator Act)

It keeps going man..
If they do it once, they will repeat. Not always, but often enough that it is a well documented probability.
Slashdot Mirror
First of all, we would not just come out and announce our presence.
Second of all, we would be sure as hell smart enough to hide proof.
Three, we would never ever just announce it on slashdot by not-so-clever usage of the word "we" or "us".
Peace out ya'all.
There clearly is just not enough synergy..

It is NOT the magic solution.
80% accuracy is NOWHERE near good enough.

Also the sky is blue and I won't be having sex tonight.
What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Now I do not really believe this is illegal under german law.. but I am saying that I would not be suprised if someone tried to charge him.
Perhaps because they wanted him to "crack" it?
ps. Because this is /., I have to add in that I relize they will NOT be running. Its a JOKEY POO!

The apple os is a wee bit harder to pirate. As you need to have an Apple first.
yes but windows mobile is not exactly "User friendly". Its still marketed more towards CEO's and always gotta be in contact buiness type. They have not made a push to make it "cool" like google undoubtedbly will.
and its can be on sprint?
Yes, Apple should become concerned.
