MS Office was unavailable for some time on the Mac, following some disagreements between Gates and Jobs. I think it was around 2003. It created some confusion about Office docs compatibility between systems, at the time.
Ok. But considering the trend in using whatever memory and resources are available, the currently available Tetrises would rather take 140 MB. Many programmers just build ridiculously inefficient and inelegant algorithms, just because the amount of resources let them do so.
Until recently, most of the people I know who keep using MS Windows do so for two reasons: games and office. Yes, some people still worry not to be able to work with Office docs on a Mac, probably because a number of years ago Office was discontinued on that OS, and that ancient feeling still haunts the !geeks. But recently, many iPads and other tablets are sold and the tide has turned ; Microsoft starts to see the tsunami wave coming, finally, and has to adapt. Office on the iPad is a start. A monopoly is crumbling...
Just by drinking a coffee with an empty stomach, or after a big meal, changes completely the caffeine effects. It is better to rely on one's own feelings, and learn day by day how one's own body reacts upon taking a specific coffee at this time, after lunch, after doing some sports etc...
You know MobileMe / iCloud of course: knowing an App store email address and its password, gives you access to the following: where is the iPhone/user at anytime, contacts list, emails... among others. Pretty important data.
So, in the subway/room... you enter your password to download an App, and someone may see and remember the credentials. It may happen, and? Gmail, for instance, allows you to get the list of the recent accesses to your account.
Apple App Store, MobileMe? Nothing. There is absolutely no way to determine if someone else accesses your account unless the other guy changes/order something. The only solution according to Apple is "Change your password". That case happened to a friend of mine who is not much in IT, and got suspicious after a few coincidences of interest. Considering the weight of iCloud and MobileMe, some more data protection is needed from Apple.
After all the buzz made around the coming merge of private data indexes, that new offer - get money from Google in exchange of your websites visits information - is a way to show users that, actually, and unless you request it, Google is not inspecting your web searches. This is a reassuring move.
The problem is that JS does not have a "concatenation" operator and variables are not strongly typed ; JS may operate with strings when you expect an arithmetic operation (for instance a user input field contains the string "45", and JS considers it to be a string until it is converted to a number, using | or '- 0' for instance).
Perl and PHP use '.' as the concatenation operator, having less ambiguous operations.
..and that stupid otherwise? The right move was to arrange an IT job interview with Marriott, and claim good security skills.

We could learn a lot from the music industry, and the rather terrible ways the music industry has tried to combat piracy
This is not a surprise, the two companies don't see piracy from the same angle.
The Music industry and their executives come from this ancient business model where people have to purchase physical and palpable objects, like potatoes or condoms ; they had then to - slowly and awkwardly - adapt to the new digital technologies.
Rovio on the other hand is a young enterprise having every staff member fully immersed in the digital world from day one. Definitely not the same mentality.
Hopefully one can apply such technology to the politics soon. The program may be disoriented though, as when a word comes out from a politician mouth, the computer using the real true paths of the brain will understand the exact opposite of such word.

I thought Slashdot does not delete comments, so I wonder?
Bug... or feature?

Yes, but Nash has always been ahead of his time...
I run the lastest VLC it's always the baker's children who have no bread...
Even during write operations?
So you mean that he was probably tired that day and he wanted to send the letter to the NaSA instead?

For one, they should focus first on security. Sony has been hacked recently in so many and obvious ways, it would make win 3.1 blush.

in @DICTATORSHIP, unfortunately.

No, 12345 is actually a very complex password for Bashar al-Assad.

No GPS! One of the great advantages of tablets over smart phones is the bigger screen, and GPS/Maps display. Sorry but No GPS, No Go.

Or create some instead... following the same pattern as "shale gas"
I think I heard that before - they were saying "Houston we have a problem"
Remember, that's Japan, and "fuckup" is a very relative and cultural consideration...

Even though they would probably never admit it
They did it involuntarily.

The basic would be /volume/data /volume/data/illegal
# rm -rf
Instead, they should manage to
# rm -rf
only.
