The original poster reworded the following positive news about the kit to make it sound like this is totally unusable by anyone, in a misguided attempt to mock Microsoft at any cost:
It includes a simulation program so that even if you don't have a $40,000 Pioneer P3DX robot, you can still program one then set it to work in an on-screen simulator complete with properties such as friction and gravity.
It was irresponsible to even post something so slanted... but we should all have grown accustomed to that on Slashdot by now.
As the article points out, false positives were not addressed at all in this study. Without testing for false positives, those numbers are useless. If Firefox listed 100% of websites as phishing sites, the fact that it caught more than IE7 isn't all that impressive.
It seems like a waste with 5 licenses of OS X. Can someone start a "Family Pack Share Program" where we can sell off our unused licenses? One "family pack" copy of OS X is purchased, and the remaining 4 licenses are sold off to people on the Internet (who are given an image of the CD.) This effectively cuts the price of OS X down to $40, which is very reasonable.

Imagine that... quick access to your applications, including recently used ones... Sounds an awful lot like a "Start Button" to me.
From your previous comment, it seemed apparent that you were against posting the text of the article online. This comment seems to contradict that stance. I was making light of your previously perceived hard stance against breaking copyright law.
There are plenty of things in the Constitution that aren't beneficial to the public in all cases (such as the right to bear arms allowing gangsters to legally purchase weapons.) The sole test for whether something is "constitutional" or not has very little to do with the public good and everything to do with the current Supreme Court's perception of the original intention of the authors.
No, it's totally illegal. So is the cached copy that your web browser has in it (if you could even get the page to load.) You should turn yourself in for copyright infringement. Now.
"Security firm Sophos Security has released a report claiming that Macs will be more secure than windows for some time to come. The report listed the 10 most common kinds of malware, and noted that they can only infect Windows systems."
Security form Sophist Security has released a report claiming that grass huts will be more secure than brick buildings for some time to come. The report listed the largest terrorist attacks in America, and noted that they all were performed against brick and mortar-style buildings. Residents in Louisiana are rebuilding their communities with only grass huts, since they're obviously more secure.
IANAL, but the last time I checked, a 14-year old cannot enter into a legally binding document without her parent's consent. I think maybe you're the only person anywhere that actually reads those things...

No... you're included. Progressive Christianity would never condemn a person simply because they chose to "lie with an animal".
Seriously...
Holy crap! That has to be the longest article I've ever seen on Slashdot that didn't contain a single link.
You should learn the difference between a grad student and a PhD candidate...
Yes, I too always did better sitting close to the screen while playing Duck Hunt...

I read the headline to the story, and then saw the pictures of the PS3. That thing looks like a flatbed scanner! Opened for Pictures indeed...
Didn't humans try to darken the sun in the Terminator movies? I can't see this ending well...
If all of those dinosaurs had just driven hybrids, that never would have happened.
If (1!=1) Then

Why isn't it working???
Apple vs. Microsoft in the Enterprise
So, who gets to be Spock?

You're welcome...
Yes, I find it stupid that you have to be in the same household...
On a side note, I would never sell "extra" licenses to an OS.

Or throw out the best five... It wouldn't really make a difference. That's why it failed...

There is nothing illegal about using embryonic RAT stem cells...
That's not a bug, it's a feature...
So I guess you could say that the contact isn't binding...

It can hurt to reduce emissions. It hurts our pocketbook...
Just make the fine equal to some percentage of the retail price for the product multiplied by the total number of users...
