The end-users still have to update the software on servers and perhaps individual workstations in order to implement the workaround. RIM is bettting everything on winning the litigation. If they lose and have to pay damages, the fines they could have avoided by implenting the workaround now is miniscule in comparison. Therefore, they have chosen not to burden their users until it is absolutely necessary.
"It said the Congressional computer network has been blocked from editing for brief periods on a number of occasions in the last six months due to the inappropriate contributions."
Apparently, that's a big problem in Congress nowadays.
I don't get it. To me, the Jihadists blowing up innocents and decapitating women and the aged on video in the name of Mohammed have besmirched His name much more than a stupid cartoon. At least hacking websites is better than burning embassies, right?
In the old cop shows, the wily old detective lets a suspect go and then tails him to the bigwig. By thesis, this new government program is meant to capture more suspects once you already have some inkling of a few persons involved. So pretend US Army catches a suspect red-handed in Iraq. They enter all the members of the suspect's cellphone or phonebook into the system. Then the computer looks around and determines an electronic trail that may lead to suspects in the United States. Of course, cynically, the government may just find political dissidents using this system. But in theory, this can be a really useful tool.
Grr, yeah. The thing is that for a while, HIV and the body reach an equilibrium. The body is able to get rid of HIV infected cells indefinitely. HIV stays in the nerves, though. Eventually, it overwhelms the body through attrition and AIDS results.
It will either strip the body of everything including our normal colonies of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, and thus be too dangerous to use.
I know that's what The Andromeda Strain said about super-infections, but given a choice between HIV infection and having diarrea (the side-effect of having no flora), I'd choose the latter. Just eat some yogurt after the treatment to reestablish the gut flora.
If you have to pay to send e-mails, then you have to use electronic payment systems. Presumably, some guy who sends a million e-mails can have his real identity figured out. Then he can be punished under CAN-SPAM. It's not the money, but the fact you have to sign on and be responsible (in the ideal implementation). It can be a penny an e-mail, but if you have to use your credit card to buy all of the credit, then it really limits how much e-mail you can spam out.
Can they even trademark "BitTorrent" anymore? Arguably the term has become a generic. You BitTorrent something. You have a BitTorrent client. It's hard to describe a "BitTorrent" client without using the word "BitTorrent".
The entire secrecy campaign with the F-117A was a political game. Democratic President Carter discloses stealth aircraft and everyone gets into a tizzy about compromised national security. Republican President Reagan then secretizes everything. No one knows what the aircraft looks like. Predictions were that it would look really slick and smooth like the F-22 eventually looked like, not at all close to the boxy, jagged airframe the F-117A actually had. Test aircraft and crew were lost because they had to test-fly a new aircraft completely at night. (One crashed into a mountain and the other flew right into the ground.) However, there were flight manuals that disappeared, presumably into Soviet hands. The manuals were complex documents that gave performance details. So on the whole, secrecy was kind of useless.
How do military communication systems handle jamming? This.
Most of the suckers (such as the Predator) are satellite-controlled which means the remote control is from above, which makes it hard to jam from the ground. The communications are also frequency-agile and skip the jammed channels, so it's hard to jam all the bands they use for a long period of time.
Incidentally, the UCAVs fly pretty high and have optical sensors. I wonder if they can pick up radiation sources, especially since they may want to detect Osama Bin Laden using his two-way radio. Does anyone know? Google shows nothing. Anyway, you'd rather have a lot of them than one super-duper UCAV because you can task them in support to many different missions.
You will never enjoy your work. Work will always suck. Your boss will always be bad. Your co-workers will always be idiots. It's you, not the work. Take the money, save it up, and try for early retirement.
Really. How many times do we hear, "My boss is an idiot" and then the guy goes onto say, "They offered me a job in management, but I'm no manager so I turned them down"? If you think all your co-workers are jerks, no matter wear you work, then perhaps you are a jerk. Anyway, work is not going to be fun for long because you get good at it. Once you get good at it, it's boring. Why do you think professional athletes get so amazingly blase? They play for a living, and yet, it still gets boring for them because they have to do it every day
BitComet 0.61 (released January 10, 2006) fixed the DHT bug, where private torrents were incorrectly being spread via DHT. BitComet works well with uPnP and getting itself to work automagically. It's a real nice bittorrent client.
Well, what happened was that BWM.DE was trying to corner the Internet market for used BMW cars. They spammed searches not for "BWM Germany" but "used BWMs" and the like. And it's not like Google didn't warn them beforehand.
Once a king went jousting wearing a gold visor. Well, gold's expensive, but not exactly hard--in fact, pure gold is very malleable. Long story short, king gets hit in gold visor, visor shatters, piece hits eye, king dies. Lesson: if you happen to be Medieval royalty, wear goldfoiled steel (or iron) armor.
"Any animation in an ad is evil. I don't care if it's a 1x1 banner that switches between blue and light blue every 30 seconds, it's evil. There should be nothing moving or changing on my screen unless I direct it to. My eye is involuntarily drawn to movement, and it's just painful to try and ignore. Text ads or static images are an order of magnitude more tolerable than any animated gif."
You seem to be a particularly sensitive individual. The ads pay for the free or low-cost resources you consume on the Internet. If you don't like it, use FlashBlock/AdBlock or don't use the service. No one is forcing you do use these websites. If the majority of the websurfers feel that the ads are too intrusive, the site will die.
Looks like a technical defense that may not be really true. Woman probably has a computer but RIAA could not prove it. RIAA is the plaintiff so it has to prove every element of its case. Without a seizure there's no proof that she ever had a computer. So she can claim she never had one. I'll bet she probably has a computer somewhere in her house.
As the plaintiff, RIAA must prove the elements of its case. The woman contested the issue of her usage of a computer, so RIAA must prove that she had one; she doesn't have to prove she didn't have one. RIAA didn't seize any computer equipment from her, and they have no other evidence. Hence, they have not carried their burden of proof/production with regard to a material element of their claim. No dice.
ZoneAlarm Security Suite integrates a firewall, anti-spyware, anti-virus, pop-up blocker, spam-blocker, etc. But I think "Genesis" will include "optimization software" such as defraggers. I wonder if they'll use a program to reduce its own memory usage.

Well, if they took potshots at you with a bazooka (well, RPG-7) and not a peashooter, you'd be unhappier than you describe.

redundant RAID arrays
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but that's pretty funny.
Or rather, "redundant RAID arrays of inexpensive disks". I mean, the redundancy in words mirrors the concept of RAID, so I guess he meant that.
"In Capitalist west phone irradiates you.
In Communist East Germany you irradiate phone."
I nominate this to be the best Communist revesal joke of the year.

Out of instinct, I Googled (TM) "urchin.js" while signed on to my Google Account. I think they're onto me! Wait, there's a knock on the doo---
You are new here.
How long before scientists are going to try and create their own anti-bacterial virus, a la some Michael Crichton novel?
Depends on who you ask. Some people would say we've done it already.
