I am assuming that, by your statement, you mean that probability computing can be analog or digital, and is not definitively one or the other? I was reading your post, and I first thought you were saying that it is a third category (which makes no sense).
But, that being said, why is calling it analog an insult? If analog (continuous) logic/numbers are being used rather than digital (discrete) logic/numbers, then analog is not an insult, simply accurate - it is describing how it works, not what it is focused on doing.
Is it exected at the machine level? A VM level? An interpreter?
In the former, I'd agree with you - you need a VM, but in the latter two categories, the a properly coded VM or interpreter would be sufficient for security.
Since I don't have the mod point, and parent is still only at 1, I have to say - the parent post requires some insightful mods. More rational point than I'm used to seeing in a lot of cases.
Windows doesn't require an AV either - it's just not a bad idea to have one.
Actually, the same goes for Macs these days, although viruses aren't as common for them.
At the university I work, it seems Macs are popular in the biological sciences, art (although Windows is making an in-road), and some areas of engineering. Physics is split with Linux or Windows, followed by VMS, followed in fourth, by Mac. Outside of that, it's mostly Windows.
probably not even that much effort. They'll probably just stick their own sticker on top, not paying too much attention if the old is completely covered.
Sorry, hacking into secure military sites - and not just for UFO information (seems more paranoia than anything else, even if a bit of a benign case).
His case makes sense to me (as would be the case if a Brittan, France, Germany, Brazil, Japan, whoever wanted a US citizen for a similar premise, I'd say 'send him/her over...'
Yes but I was adding onto a point made in response to n2art2's post), stating everyone is copying Apple, as if apple weren't also being a copycat and in the same boat.
Actually, it strikes me as a "DO WANT" for Steve Jobs. He's targeting the trendy and faddish types for uptake and then slides the products into the more common-tier placement. Nerds are hot his primary target (just a happy and useful coincidence in OS X).
Apple only got where it's at by copycating. Pretty much everything else it's done has been available before. Is there anything Apple's done that hasn't fallen into this pattern:
1) Copycat something someone has done before 2) Clean up the UI/polish of the device to make it more user friendly 3) Go on a marketing blitz to try and make it popular and trendy. 4) Profit
And then I've seen in several products (but not all).. 5) Stagnate while competitors catch up with and improve upon/beyond Apple's original concepts.
And with the transition from MacOS 9 -> MacOS X... 6) Return to step 2

Executable code isn't just executable code?

You missed the biggest problem with flash: it is a huge security hole.
Anything that replaces flash, that can be comfortably run outside of a dedicated VM (as is best with flash on ANY platform), has a nice advantage.
Real men drink coffee as black as the heart of Corporate America, so the sig is irrelevant.
it means I fail at slashdot
You are correct.
I need to start a coffee habit.

for porn!
Consider paraplegics that might want to play video games, this would be great for them.
Even without that, it's an interesting demo of what our tech can do, although I think this might have been available for a while?

Well, would you accept an external supplement instead?
ATI RAGE (appropriately named) cards had a similar effect on me about 8-10 years ago.
Unfortunately, with our election system, a effective third party can't last very long
Consider this - it also allows apple another route for suing people who make invasive adware for Macs.
Maybe Apple suspects this will be a problem in the semi-near future? An extra layer of protection against tarnishing of the brand?

I played with friends iPhones...
And decided HELL NO.
Fuck, the only reason I didn't buy one, even with the price tag, was because I couldn't get it with a hard keybaord

Yes, and like DRM, it will not prevent piracy.
I know of a program that follows this model. Every month they release new content for free. You just have to log on with your official account, paid.
Someone, every month, creates an updater, that will allow you to patch your machine, without having to log in.
Actually, if you RTFS, it's more along the line of combining the IP address of the other party, and the picture to narrow down who/where.
I think they are missing the bigger flaw here. Flash, or even worse, peer-to-peer flash...

No, because according to MS, PAE is available for Windows 7 32 bit:
