I know this is offtopic but even if he only copied the IP and runned from the country... why no this could be a worse crime that stealing? I think this is some kink of obsession with the word "stealing", after all, it's clearly not the worst crime one can do: "murder" "rape" "torture" are clearly worse.
Anyway, I don't think not all cases of IP infringement are the same. Copying one CD can cause at the most a damage to the copyright holder equal to the CD cost. Copying the source code from a product and using that to establish a competing company can cause enormous damage.
I wouldn't be surprised either if the the devices sold by American companies had same backdoor for government wire-taping. Oh wait this is already happening.
They probably want to pick the most inexpensive worker rather than the most politically correct one. If they end up with an entire workforce full of H1B employees, perhaps an investigation should be done as to why there are no other qualified candidates in the area.
MIT students are supposed to be smart. TSA are supposed to be dumb (it's a dumb activity you don't expect smart people apply to it). Her being almost shot for doing this was expected if TSA people are dumb. Ergo, what she did was dumb.
We don't know enough of how the brain works to be sure that Strong AI will be possible in the sense that a normal Turing machine will archive it. We know that the interactions between babies and other humans are a must in the development of a child. Maybe that interactions are what make us smart? How could a computer interact the same way with us? I'm not saying it's impossible just that there are many things we still don't know.
Countries aren't poor because they are poor, they are poor because they have bad institutions and governments.
On the other hand, a group of foreigners can fly into a country and vaccinate a bunch of people and fly out.
And feel extremely smug and self-righteous about it, while having fixed none of the problems that really matter. The country is still poor, its institutions still bad, and its government still corrupt. A few people will live a year longer, create one more child than they would've otherwise, then die of a different disease, or starve, or be shot by death squad or whatever else.
What a contribution.
Philosophical question: If you save someone who would've otherwise died, and that someone lives a life of suffering, have you lessened, or added to, the amount of suffering in the world?
Philosophical question: are you nazi? I find your views disturbing and remind me strongly the third reich.
That the internet is a huge joke to you doesn't mean that nothing in the internet should be taken serious. If you're an adult and people take seriously a threat you made, you should be responsible.
Things fall into a black hole in a finite amount of time from their perspectives. We won't adapt we have a finite time left. And in "we" you can put anything you want and it'll still be true.
I think you're right, it could be bad news for us. Dolphins are more intelligent compared with us that we would be to some alien race capable of interstellar travel. And we won't make serious efforts to prevent the killing of dolphins until they are close to extinction.

Well no there are not. That's why this is important, because it opens the possibility to defeat DRM.

This level of spin remind me of fox news. People want their console hacked to play warez games, or they want a console that can't be hacked so there are no online cheaters.
Hey I agree with you but it's not necessary to be so aggressive towards the advertisers, after all they are the ones that allow Slashdot to continue existing.
Troll? Isn't "WHY don't they patch it allready" a valid question? Micro$oft has a history of not patching well known security holes, it's not like this is the first time. They deserve the scorn I heaped on them. It's one thing to sell buggy software. It's another thing entirely to ignore full blown exploits like this. Call me troll if you like but I'm right and I think that's what pisses off the M$ shills the most.
You loose credibility when you use terms like "Windowze" and "Micro$oft" so you shouldn't be so surprissed to be modded as troll. And fixing software, doing regressing tests, and making sure the bug is really fixed takes time, I'm sure they're working on it.
That is not the worst malware problem you can have... the worst kind are those stealth enough you don't realize you have them. Although a possible strategy for one of those malware could be to create some obvious process and exes and hide the real payload so that it's still present after the user think it got ride of the problem. MMMmmm.
I know what I'm talking about and IE8 64 bits in windows 7 is MUCH more secure than firefox. Too bad it doesn't have plguins like firefox and so I can't use it, but that's also part of why it's more secure.
Guess what... it doesn't work.. unless you think they can change the root certificates of every operating system sold/pirated in china without anyone noticing... you're an idiot for opining about things you clearly don't know nothing about.

And where did you get this idea that is not already happening? From the snow in front of your house?

And what's wrong with this?

I'm more than dubious... I think that there is so little value in what AI experts have predicted in the past that I didn't even bother to RTFA.

You're right they are better death than alive not? And we can keep they natural resources that they won't need anymore... good plan. /sarcasm
Because they don't want free health care haven't you heard?

I have messed with Linux enough to know that this question is wrong... you shouldn't be running linux in the desktop.
Blah blah blah America still has the bomb so it can make the debt clock go back to zero when we please and nobody can do a thing about it.

Actually it was more than 2. Wikipedia is not always right.

This will only force your employees to switch to firefox that also has its own security problems.
