Anything they can give you to help keep your Windows machine from turning into part of a North Korean botnet can only benefit both you and the government. From the stuff I've been reading about storm and kraken, they're not doing a very good job of keeping windows machines off botnets...
Systems even seem snappier. Lol! "Snappier". The ultimate metric for measuring system performance. I'll DEFINITELY be downloading SP3 now, this statement has totally convinced me.
It has a banner add at the top This is like the third time this week I've seen this, and I'm not really looking, but dammit, this is retarded. It's an "ad" not an "add". "ad" is short for "advertisement". Just because firefox's spellcheck doesn't catch it, doesn't mean it's correct.
According to the graph you linked to, the stock dropped in 2000, but so did pretty much all the tech stocks because of the.com bubble bursting. After that, the stock settled down and stayed pretty much the same for 6 or so years. Yeah, he's fucking up, but it's not really harming the company any. For REAL fuck ups, look at sun's stock:

I like a game that says "you the player are the hero," not games where the hero is Master Chief/Solid Snake/whoever-the-fuck. I never connect to those characters because *I'm* the hero, not them. That's why I like the main questline in Oblivion. The main protagonist is Martin. So when a cutscene happens and it isn't "you" doing stuff, it isn't that jarring. What "You" do is still whatever you decide to do.
And while the wheels keep rolling
And another signpost gone
All along the road behind
Oh can't you hear me calling
Like the sad whale song
I'm on the road behind
Like a sad whale song... Sad whale baby...
Don't mistake non-confrontational anti-socialism as a tendency to pacifism. Give us a doomsday device we can detonate from afar and many of us would happily use it.
It has nothing to do with filtering the traffic on the network, which implies blocking/removing valid packets. It only means implementing a search capability that can use keyword filters (like searching in the gnarled mess for the word "Kalashnikov").
It is bad that they are dumping all this data for perusal later, obviously. But what they are asking for in the article is just a better way to search around in that data. It's not really anything new.
Imagine it is some kind of change on the sun. How do we handle that ? A darkmatter bomb, flown out by a bunch of scientists in a suicide mission to the Sun?
The answer to this is to have "flying trains". Something like a metro rail system that flies. People get on and just sit there and the train does all the work. Of course, airplanes are supposed to be like that, but the security is so tight that it isn't worthwhile.
sometimes you do need to access information from an untrusted terminal I honestly can't think of anything so important that I can't call someone or wait till I get to a safe terminal. The only thing I can think of where I might NEED an untrusted terminal is if I'm lost and need google maps or something, but that's not exactly secret.
This was my thought exactly. The easiest way to not be subjected to a keylogger on a public terminal is to not use a public terminal. Another issue that not many have mentioned yet (if at all) is that on a public terminal there's not much keeping someone from glancing over your shoulder at your screen while you are doing your banking, or at your fingers as you type your password, or at that picture of your kid that your wife just sent you in your email.
I peer review my own patch updates, and follow the lists carefully as the comminity as a whole deals with coding the upgrades. Hopefully you review the patches better than you review your posts.
And if you want certified and cheap stuff, it is time to begin building robotic factories. What about when the robots turn against us? THEN who will build our stuff?

Oh, ok. So we just need to make cold computers. How hard could that be?

Wait, if you what? What does RTFA mean?

I guess a public terminal would be pretty hard to swallow. It'd take a lot of water. Maybe if you stuck some peanut butter on it?

Whatever.
Also, life is nature's way of keeping meat fresh.
Why is an article about state of the art US military equipment on a bbc.co.uk web site?
There's more to life than technology.
