Nonetheless, he's choosing an arbitrary time period to illustrate a point, when obviously his product has suffered from other problems in longer time periods (ones that many open source DNSs were not susceptible to).
The summary says " Nominum was one of the companies affected by the DNS cache poisoning problem of last year".
But in the interview, I just read this:
Q: People's reaction to that may be: 'He would say that, wouldn't he, because he's just trying to sell his product'. How would you answer them?
A: I would respond to them by saying, just look at the facts over the past six months, at the number of vulnerabilities announced and the number of patches that had to made to Bind and freeware products. And Nominum has not had a single known vulnerability in its software.
Great. Now the government is going to write a 1000-page document on exactly what constitutes manipulation of pixels. "Section 42(d)(5): If two aligned pixels are manipulated such that Pixel A becomes adjusted along either the Red, Green, or Blue color axis more than ten percent of its original value, notwithstanding lighting or discoloration, while Pixel B becomes unequally adjusted along the same or different color axis, an inappropriate pixel adjustment may have occured, pursuant to Section 12(e)(1)."
Related: some time ago, I was buying stock photos on iStockPhoto for a project. Their basic license prohibits online use of the photos at larger than 800x600. If you dig into it, you'll find that they say "any size reproduction is acceptable with substantial changes to the content" (link). But I wanted to use the original image, mostly unaltered, at a width wider than 800 but less than 600. It turns out that they really mean an overall pixel count: your use can be of a wider dimension, but not a higher pixel count. 800 x 600 = 480,000 pixels. So if you wanted to use the image at 1000 pixels wide, you would be limited to 480 pixels high. This is not stated on their web site, but I do have it written in an e-mail from one of their support representatives, and it worked just fine for my project (I wanted a cropped image at 970x400, or 20% under their limit).
It breaks my heart just thinking about being in that situation. To love someone so much and for you to find out that they can't love you back... and what you thought were the most special moments of your life were all a lie.
Remember the Ewok movies? It'll be like that, but with Hobbits. There will also be Saturday-morning cartoons. And "Lord of the Rings" Lego sets of famous scenes: Gandalf versus the Balrog, for example.
Of course, we don't want to let boys have all the fun, so there will be a line of Elven Princess dolls for the girls, along with suitable makeup and "tree dollhouses". (They tried a line of Dwarf Princess toys, but the test marketing came back negative.)
Finally, in the end, we'll have some cross-marketing opportunities, with Aragorn making an appearance in an episode of Sesame Street (sword-fighting Oscar, no doubt), and Legolas having an archery match with Harry Potter and friends.

A bloke named Mike
Had a bike named Yike.
Hello Mike!
Hello Yike!
Mike on Yike went down the hill
Mike went first when Yike took a spill.
Hello Hill!
Goodbye Yike!
Just a note of caution about Mark/Space... there is no way to get a refund if their software does not work. I downloaded the demo for their Palm sync and tried it, and it worked for the parts that the demo allowed, but when I downloaded the full version, those parts (that weren't enabled in the demo) did not work and could not be made to work with my particular setup. And I was just stuck with it.
You're right, I have no understanding how an electron microscope works. I was mainly replying to what I thought was a silly post with another, relatively silly post.
So, if it took you one day to read out a 220GB disk, how long would it take to decipher the data from it?

Do not stare into cable with remaining eye.
See my admission of idiocy, above.

Oh, silly me. He said SIX MONTHS and the summary said LAST YEAR.

But in the interview, I just read this:
See? The summary can't be right.
There's a video of the car in action, as well. Apparently Amelia Earhart is in the back seat.
I know! So much for Google's motto of "Don't be evil". Obviously they mean "except when indexing publicly accessible web links"! Those hypocrites!

link to that Dove commercial.
Reminds me of the Evolution video from Dove. Apparently advertising does affect some girls, at least some of the time.
It breaks my heart just thinking about being in that situation. To love someone so much and for you to find out that they can't love you back... and what you thought were the most special moments of your life were all a lie.
Isn't that a country music song?
Couldn't Apple just implement a method of checking the age of the purchaser for a given movie? Why would they have to disable the gifting feature?
You just guess the name of a new, highly-immersive video game. In-game puzzles include:
It is not a first-person shooter... yet.
Thanks, you made me spit up my coffee. Mod parent +5 funny!

...and Microsoft Excel was released on the Mac roughly two years before it appeared on Windows (1985 vs 1987).
That's probably why the app has been removed from the App Store, as of this morning.

This sounds like a Dr. Seuss story.
Meet a man named Mike.
Mike had a bike.
The bike was Yike.
Hello Mike! Hello Yike!
Mike on Yike
Went down the Hill.
Mike went first
When Yike took a spill.
Hello Hill! Goodbye Yike!

Even worse: in the future, Twitter will be via telepathy.
Nice troll there. The average American has an income of $50,233 which places them in the top 0.001% of the richest people in the world.
If that qualifies as "abject poverty" then how the hell do you describe the 99.999% of the world living below it?
"Fundamentalist Christianity is, however, one of the last and greatest bastions of hatred and bigotry left in the first world."
As a Christian of the non-fundamentalist type, I'm sad to say that I agree with you on this.

What is Apple's resistance to a docking station? One with built in physical security/power/networking/extra USB ports/monitor
Maybe because it tried that before and didn't do very well?
