OK, I know anecdotal evidence is easy to slip in to online conversations. But seriously, 14 devices over a 3 year percentage. From the article, that translates to 0.001 percent of all first generation Nanos (the ones afflicted with this problem). I think any reasonable person will definitely agree that's a tiny percentage. No reason to rip on Apple for saying it's a tiny percentage when it is; they have other problems that can legitimately be criticized.
One of my greatest concerns is that devices like these will be used as propaganda spewers rather than learning tools. How do you plan or protect for that circumstance? Was it a concern when you actually put these devices in their intended use? Now that they're out of your immediate reach, is there anything you can do to prevent their use for propaganda?
Or, you could get thousands of robots in one island and have them all expel gas at the same time. And throw a turtle on the island too; it's important.
I almost got a chuckle, but by the end of your mangled sentence the English language was way past dead by you beating it with your mangled version of it:(
Crap, I'm a little late in the game but a lot of the things you mentioned are in the Python Challenge. For example, on challenge has you going through a zip file, parsing filenames and using these to follow a chain. It starts easy and moves on up. Plus, there is a forum on that site with hints.
Yes, by now any semi regular reader knows that the NIA can be faster, but it takes tons of training and you can't just magically think "shoot that guy" and have the device point a gun at someone and shoot. This is just another review that got its hands on some buzz hardware and said the same things the other sites are saying.
I could swear that I was notified of a security update regarding Firefox a few days ago. After the update, I checked Firefox and it's own About dialog reported it was 3.0.1. Can anyone else confirm this or am I going bonkers? I'm certainly on 3.0.1 now and I only received some mundane updates this morning.
I guess I'm new to this whole Internet thing; I haven't been to SANS ICS before. But what's up with the color coded threat level indicator? Doesn't that seem a little pointless and similar to the ridiculed DHS Threat Level? I don't know, I respect their opinion, it's just harder to trust someone with an "internet threat level" indicator.

... in Europe.
Maybe if the front page Idle stories get enough bad comments and not enough views, Idle can go back to it's corner.

Great, the water purifying concrete can purify the wash off from the air purifying concrete!

Thanks, that was really interesting. This and the NYT article have been something new to read.
Oops! Should have tried the link in Preview. This should work: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A06E2DB143DF93AA3575AC0A96F958260
It took me some digging, but this is in fact true, at least in Connecticut.
When that hateful remark is libel.
And, I want to point out some of the statements:
The thread included messages such as, "I think I will sodomize her. Repeatedly" and a reply claiming "she has herpes."
These are by far more than hateful remarks.
But it's not an operating system, it's my whole life! See, I won't regret it.

Lawyering, NewYorkCountry style.
Ah, you accidentally looked over the fact that it runs on new Ego(TM) power, not electricity. Common mistake.
Newegg had this in early December 2001, before the date.

Yup, that would be it. I didn't realize proposed applies to getting security updates early as well. Thanks

You mean "NSA says..."
This shouldn't be modded troll. Ironically, moderators who moderate their opinions up are probably the ones who modded this down.
Ouch, I didn't realize how common this was. Feel free to moderate the grandparent post into oblivion.
