>>What's the one thing that Microsoft still has that Google can't compete with? Cash, Microsoft CAN BUY ITS WAY to the top of the search engine heap. THAT'S how Google can be killed.
Uh - if you review the balance sheets, Google has around 80 Billion in assets in cash and cash equivalents alone...
The large shadows I've seen and strange unaccounted for splashing noises I've heard over the years, while out in winter surf, which sparked spooky feelings, are definitely something; and something big. Sometimes they are dolphins, but other times, when you don't see a dolphin, man does the hair stand up on the back of your neck....
This is not related to Flash Player, this is in regards to Shockwave Player.
Frankly I am really surprised devs still use Shockwave and people still install Shockwave Player. I have not installed Shockwave player in years and never missed it.
The only reason to use Shockwave in the past was that it was scriptable. Flash has been scriptable since version 5
their complaints against filesharing eroding their bottom line basically amounts to a coverup for what is the real problem, a crappy business model.
The brainiacs that run the movie houses continually fork over huge amounts of cash to persons who had one hit that made money, and who continually bomb after that.
In what other business realm is failure so grandiosely rewarded? In what business school would they teach this sort of practice?
"The thinking is: "If I have to work 80 hour weeks, I might as well be making several hundred thousand." Go to any of the top colleges/universities, and a large amount of the students want to go into finance or some other money making field."
Stick with Physics my friend, the payoffs for using your brain at something you enjoy is incalculable in solely monetary terms, the money will come but more importantly so will a life well spent.
The fact that all the lemmings are going into finance, or other money making fields as you call them, is a result of the vapid Bling-Bling bullshit perpetrated on the youth of our society beginning with the ultra bad Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and continued with Gangsta Rap culture. The real deal is very few in finance make all that much money and thus if you don't enjoy finance and are only doing it for the money, you life will ultimately suck.

Rapid7, who are incredible jerks at least in terms of aggressive cold-call sales people. There are periodic rounds of complaining about them on one of the lists I'm on. We can't stand those guys.
Is the lack of patient participation in their own health initiatives.
Approximately 90 people over 18 months suffered hair loss and/or burns on their head, and not one of them reported it.
Patients need to wake up and realize doctors and the medical establishment try to do their best, but they are only human and a vast majority of what they do is simply educated guessing.
The patient is ultimately responsible for his/her own health care, so drill the doctors and do not let them get away with brushing off your concerns. You know your body best, not the doctor - even though their degree generally makes them think otherwise.
If your box is rooted checking processes will do no good nor will antivirus alert you to the fact.
Better to create multiptle VMs, which do not share the host IP, to be used for different purposes. 1 VM used for only banking, 1 VM used for only web browsing...
"Nearly 50 of the survey's nontechnical respondents just clicked through security warnings without paying attention to them, he says."
Not sure if this is 50 persons or 50%, but I suspected that in part this is true, which coupled with DNS hijacking by ISPs makes a problem a bank I use had (hopefully), and perhaps other commerce and financial sites, a real problem.
A few months ago I alerted my online banking instituion to an NXDOMAIN problem they had where occasionally logged in customer requests were being sent to a non existent server and my ISP subsequently hijacked those requests and delivered their own stupid page. Obviously this is incredibly lame as anyone who chooses to ignore the SSL warning will then send all of their auth tokens to the ISP.
I never received a reply from my bank and even tried to get Schneier involved as this bank is a major player. Regardless of the lack of response however, about two weeks after I notified the bank, I have not run into this problem, so hopefully they fixed it.

All companies started by techs with a visionary idea eventually turn into just another money grubbing entity run solely for the benefit of Goldman Sachs.

obviously they still do not have any real concept of freedom of speech.
Oh sorry for the dual post, but I wanted to correct a typo - Google has around 8 billion in cash and equivalents, not 80 billion as previously written

1) Provide non administrative accounts for everyone but yourself - nobody needs admin on Windows any more
2) Install a good antivirus, which will easily be able to detect user level rootkits and malware
3) Disable AutoRun using the method provided on the NIST web site: http://www.nist.org/news.php?extend.264
4) Enjoy not having to mess around with compromised systems any more...
Created by Bruce Schneier and perhaps the best app available.

The problem with techies, they need to learn to think like a businessman. We control the information, get it together techies!
Maybe the answer is robots.txt; but that is not what you tell a billionaire if he asks you.
How can I nail...
I expected Google to suggest, "a hot chick." at minimum, but instead it suggested nothing.

"It's really stunning how various labor departments are simply ill-equipped to handle a modern labor force."
Hmmm let's see, underfunded government entities are unable to keep up with new technology trends. I would not call that revelation, "Stunning."

This seems like it might prove useful. Now, when will they invent bacteria that can clean the dust from my computer? That would be really useful!
