>> If I were Polaroid, I'd make a system for printing Digital Photos to REAL photo paper, and not using crappy Inkjet or Color Laser, for the home market.
Amen brother - Inkjet and color laser paper quality sucks. Though I haven't tried it, you can probably print E6 process using a laptop projector, though I suppose the focus quality will not be as good as an enlarger, so perhaps one could modify an old E6 enlarger to use the laptop projector as the light source.
Cool - does this mean Microsoft will go after malware developers who create a nuclear option or develop trojans which encrypt data and hard drives as a method of extortion? These certainly break Microsoft's newly awarded patent.
If you are completely unconcerned with security of the data on your iPhone.
Just because it can be done does not mean it should be done.
Dang, and we'd finally gotten companies to isolate web servers from sensitive data systems and now this stupid idea.
Being a computer expert, or an expert about anything other than the law, is not the job of a prosecutor, judge or defense attorney.
Thus I argue it does matter and it matters that independent experts can review the device and make conclusions to be presented in court.
As many have probably discovered by now; this is false. You can choose during install if you wish IE 8 to assume control as the default browser, or not. Of course you must also choose the installation for those who are curious about what is actually happening.
Well don't feel too bad because the quote in the story copied below should be appended with, "; yet." in order to represent the real world.
"Cablevision spokesman Jim Maiella confirmed for me that the $99.95 price is unbundled, and the new tier does not come with any kind of a usage cap or overage fees."
This is a bogus charge against a fall guy I think. If he were stealing a few coins and those coins were all quarters, in a two year period he'd have to steal 931 coins/day/365 or 186 coins per day every day for a whole decade.
>> Anyone with passwords turned on is not secure IMHO.
I disagree. I both cases, password auth or key auth, barring any security problem with the protocol, the weakest link is the user. A passphraseless ssh key is tempting to the user for many reasons and unless you audit the passphrases selected by your users, key auth is no more secure than password auth. In fact password auth may actually be more secure if you enforce complexity on the system(s). You have no control over the passphrase on a user's SSH key. You can try to control it, but the user can strip the password at any time and on any remote system.
Not allowing passwords may actually lull you into feeling secure. Multi-user and personal user systems are compromised all the time, and in my and my collegues experiences, break-ins via SSH are as likely to happen via either method. Lame botnets try weak passwords, crafty exploiters try everything and thanks to Phalanx2, their craft became much easier.
Exaggerated? Confused? Oh really? Hmmm, SCO comes to mind. So does SBC and their litigation against little guys years ago for infringing on their patented "structured document browser." Neither of these aforementioned entities have anything to do with a trademark.
What is expensive is protecting it; which has to be done aggressively against everyone who infringes on it. Few except deep pocket conglomerates can afford this aspect of patent law.
By Google Apps. Why would you use the cloud when there is little or no security (at least the security practices which keep each instance separated is unknown) and you don't own what you've put into the Google cloud; Google does.
Is to refuse to use the Internet for commerce. If the populace of Britian, or any "Free" country for that matter, made it clear that if their government implements draconian snooping technologies, they will stop using the Internet; well you get the picture. I personally would join that fight in the US. I certainly don't *need* the Internet; it is a convenience.
Whether they be developers, managers, janitors or CEOs. There is no good reason to be an a-hole and those who are should not be tolerated for any reason.
Neal Schon, of Journey riffing fame, originally though he'd like to be a part of Guitar Hero, but eventually decided not to contribute when he found out the guitar used in the game was a fake. He was hoping that the game could be used to teach a person guitar and was disappointed when he learned the truth. Chicken and egg here?

$400 to $500 USD according to the manufacturer site; not $200. Dang, $200 would have been awesome.

While actual SSN validation is slightly more complicated than a simple regexp, awarding a patent for an obvious algorithm is lame.
Lucky for me I can prove the algorithm I wrote based on Social Security Administration guidance existed before IBM was awarded any patent.
At the time of this post I announce that it is officially released under free licensing.

All of this is such a non issue. SSH tunnel your HTTP and use NoScript to keep third party tracking cookies from loading.

Not bloody likely!
Perhaps because now they've got one of their own near the top the current presidential administration.
"Microsoft Counsel Brad Smith, who also made it very clear that getting 'workforce ready' won't involve acquiring any Linux skills."
MS is afraid; very afraid and Smith gave it away. Nobody would even bother to mention a competitor who is sub par.

The DOJ is basing their arguments on an action from 1919 where the small guy was able to be awarded appropriate damages from the BIG guy.
How can the media companies been seen as akin to the small guy and the individual consumer the BIG guy?
