I think the big deal is that pretty soon Android may turn into a ubiquitous mobile computing platform where interesting things like this become available to the masses.
Also, Google didn't write this app. Some guy did as an entry to a competition.
Not a chance. What you said doesn't even make sense in terms of a Sun Ray environment. I strongly advise you to look into this example more deeply to understand what I mean. Hint: you can't install software on a Sun Ray.
If this kid's exploit means one person rethinks the idea of what a physical access breach should be limited to, then it was probably worth it.
Traders have the responsibility to make smart decisions. I'm sure those who were burnt yesterday will revise their automated trading procedures. Anyway, good luck to anyone who picked up the stock at under $9.
Why do it now? Why not let the next administration decide? Maybe because John McCain wouldn't have any chance of victory if there was another financial crisis before the elections.
Each tab does run in its own process. A "persistent login" is usually implemented using a "session" on top of HTTP and usually using cookies. One would think, that a cookie is a cookie across all Chrome processes. That is the behaviour that one would expect and also the behaviour that has correctly been implemented in Chrome.
Before your next troll, perhaps you should go and write a multi-process application, then go and write a web-application that stores login information in a session. Then think about what you just posted.
Using FF, I right click on the HTML5 video link in the summary and opened it in a new tab. A rather large page, it maxed out my CPU for about 15 seconds parsing and rendering it. During that time scrolling down the slashdot page became very jerky.
Tried it out on Chrome on my Windows box, and no such problem. Do the FF people plan on going down that path?
Exactly what I was thinking. The system forces companies to try to patent trivial, non-novel things.
Almost makes you wish there were more patent troll companies to annoy the likes of MS to the point where they actively lobby for patent reform. Maybe the EFF should start raising money for patent trolling...
Going for shock value is perhaps a symptom of the times. How else do you get your message to "cut-through" in this age? Admittedly, you need to have a message to begin with.
Even a payload on the order of 10kg would be very useful if the cost of the aircraft is practical. Remember, the launch costs are close to nil, so all you have to pay for is the craft itself and maybe come access to ground or satellite based monitoring and control. I can imagine many agencies, departments and private organisations would have a lot of use for something like this.
Slashdot Mirror
Wait, what?
That second paragraph of yours is rambling nonsense.
I'm sure DoD has access to for e.g. Windows source code that they may run on their servers.
Actually, I wouldn't have a clue but maybe some here knows if this is the case.

The Gemini Electric Motor is up to twice as efficient as a regular electric motor.
Saw that episode ages ago and just googled it now. Can't believe they've left it up on their website.
You mean its not just software patents that suck?
The DMCA makes a criminal out of you.
Now instead of cream cheese it's carbon atoms.
Ok, you lost me there.
Number two implies number one implies number two?
Fork Chromium.
When will we see the first Android handset? Serious question. I've been holding off changing my phone for a while now.

Sorry but physical access to machines means all security is out of the window.
For that machine maybe, not necessarily anything bigger. How do you install a key-logger for a user other than yourself on a Sun Ray?
Sure, you could put a sledge hammer through the thing and that might count as a security breach, but not in the way you're implying.
If some asshat broke into one of my servers then told me how, I'd send his ass to jail too.
Good thing we have a system where you don't get to make that decision.
A bit like Sun running Solaris all the way from their very high end SPARC systems to their lower end x86 based systems.

I'm talking about the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae bail-out by the way.

But how would you get the sharks into orbit?
you can play and predictably get rewards
This is why slashdot can never be addictive.
Arhhh... oh yes, that's the stuff...

I read your post. Then my head exploded. Now I am typing with no head.
