They are an unfriendly, communist, totalitarian regime. We exactly do we care if they are on the Internet?
Most of the North Korean people dream about an end to that regime, to build a peaceful reunited Korea.
Most of the people who endorse the totalitarian regime have no other choice.
What can we expect from that country on the Internet? Certainly a lot of inevitable regime-driven-anti-capitalistic messages.
But maybe some people over there will post some more realistic pages about their life, and how harsh it is to live there compared to what we are able to enjoy in our countries.
“We succeeded in breaking the encryption behind the hard drives, and confirmed that it contained personal e-mails and text messages of people using the Wi-Fi networks,” said a [Korean] police official.
I was however assuming
1. that in such case Google would have been legally forced to provide the encryption key,
2. and anyway, that a HD encrypted by Google wouldn't be so (apparently) easy to break.
I started with the BASIC language as a child. And it was not easy.
If Basic didn't have lines numbered, a goto, a limited set of instructions (no while for instance), and no mysterious crash (no pointer for instance), maybe I'd have given up.
After a while, when Basic concepts were understood, I wanted to get over the language limitations: speed and abilities. The next step was the assembly language, at the time.
Then learning C: coming from Assembly helped a lot to understand pointers and what happens under the hood.
Basic was simple enough to give me interest in programming, and its limitations made me want to learn more elaborated languages afterwards.
the company has a massive infrastructure that it uses for purposes such as authentication
I've always been amazed by the large amount of time it takes to be authenticated from a Skype server, compared to connections to other providers - time that suggests there is something wrong with their infrastructure.
Surgeon: we are sorry, he is dead
Wife: what happened, a medical error?
Surgeon: not at all, just another MS bug. But a patch should be delivered soon..
I think it was in IE7, Microsoft decided to prevent by default the use of "Prompt" in Javascript to help fighting against phishing.
Technically this was probably not a good idea, as programmers with a minimum of skills can emulate the "prompt" behavior via a DIV.
What happened anyway is that many people could not use some pages normally, and were looking at remedies on the Net (like disabling the "feature").
MS should not go against the standards, but cope with them instead, and built a secure approach more smartly.
Let's hope this new tool will not cause more problems than it can solve.
I love Apple products, and think they have the best ergonomics nowadays.
But the article was drawn like it was an ad. This has nothing to do against Apple.
This sort of crap has the potential to make photographer's lives really annoying
Not sure about that. Nowadays everyone takes photographs of anything, and in an instant it becomes available to the world.
At least the photographs of this particular English protected Stonehenge will deserve to have some value, the photographs we'll be proud to show. The ones that won't end hidden under the stack of terabytes of digital images.
Yes, a new challenge for photographers.

Not quite as generic as "Windows" though
Maybe. But, anyway, which MS competitor would really want to call their own product/system Windows now?
They keep maturing earlier and earlier.
Actually, you are getting older and older...

I'd swear that quote is actually from the "American pie" movie
Did anything change since?
It looks like we, poor users, are helpless facing those hidden dirty tricks.
What about Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry?
It seems that you can find a clue to that question from the title of the story.

Statistics? Why are men better chess players than women?
I'm afraid we'll have to get used to "world records" from China.

Unless I missed the funny part of your message, that line is actually interpreted by the shell.

In the news today, MS would have already sold 1.5 million win7 phones... (according to MS).

Yes it does. Someone should really go up there and clean that piece of dust sticked to the mirror.
