It sounds to me like a local privilege escalation bug. For home users this is worse, since most are protected from remote exploits via a stateful firewall.
I assume someone can write a separate program to do this without exploiting the Safari bug too. But I don't think browser bugs allowing arbitrary code execution are considered "remote" and I would assume the Windows bug could just as easily be triggered by a trojan, or any other similar bug in any software that reads things (for example, all the bugs that acrobat had recently).
Did you watch the video or look at the screen shots? not a copy of Windows at all.
Plasma is what lets them keep three targets maintained (Tablet, Netbook, Desktop). The Desktop version is quite similar to Windows, but hardly a copy, it is an attempt to take the taskbar + start button concept of interacting, and build on it. For example, arbitrary and multiple folders on the "desktop", activities that group these "desktop folders" with the applications opened that you want.
Most civil actions are "Preponderance of the Evidence", which means more likely than not.
Some civil issues require "Clear and Convincing" evidence, which is a higher burden, this is often used for counter claims that involve having legal fees covered (for example, I sue the insurance company, claiming they need to pay, they counter sue, saying I acted fraudulently in getting the policy, I would generally only need Preponderance, they would likely need Clear and Convincing, but if they one the counter suit, I would owe them for all of their legal fees).
I've actually never heard the words "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" in a civil case, except for during jury instruction where the judge tries to explain that it is a lower burden than a criminal case.
Are you really going to argue that Alcohol can't relieve anxiety or depression for some (as a spot treatment, not as regular use).
Alcohol is a very good substitute for something like lorazepam for someone that is generally not anxiety ridden, but suffers from attacks. Lorazepam is cheaper if you have insurance though.
Frequent users (in my observation) generally do not do better with depression or anxiety with weed than without it. Certainly works great as a spot treatment, but it's hardly any more effective in general than alcohol (though there are people better off with the one or the other).
Anyway, if alcohol doesn't remove the need for pharmaceuticals, neither will marijuana.
I've always took boiling to mean the liquid itself was converting to gas, this can happen in low pressure at room temperature, but is not the cause of the bends from diving. A vented space-station could cause it I imagine, though perhaps the skin would keep blood pressure high enough to keep the boiling point of water above room temperature.
It's a good thing. We want jobs lost due to needing less people to do the same amount of work. It's the back-bone of economic growth. 3/5's of the worlds entire human economic output happened in half a century (out of 800), some of this is due to population (the most recent century had significantly more people years than the previous, not not near that many).
I don't know how true this is aside from anecdotes, but I have seen it a few times.
Generally it works like this: 1) person has skillset in demand, or sees a market for something with low start-up cost (examples, small site websdesign in the late 90's, inkjet poster printing late 90's). 2) if this person was ahead of the curve margins are very good for a while 3) more competition / better tools make things comodetize 4) self-employed person doesn't know much else and can't get volume high enough at lower margin.
A 60" inkjet poster printer, when it cost around 20k ($450/month on 12% interest 5 year loan), and sell for $20/sq.ft.
Profit would be $15/sq.ft. even without mounting, run out of a garage it was good money.
Now the everywhere has one of the printers, and in any volume the profit is 1/3 of that (about $5 on $7.50).
There was a time when a few web-pages knocked out in Dreamweaver would get someone a few hundred $, now that type of site is designed for free with something like Yahoo business. And again, a lot more competition. Additionally, a basic brochure site from 5 years ago is still decent, the demand has dropped.
Essentially, a lot of self-employed people meet a small niche that fades, or ramps up with competition. I bet an HVAC, or Plumbing type (mature market) does not work this way though.
Also, a lot of the time someone makes the jump to independent with a significant amount of work to start, this work drys up, and essentially they start of the business is how a mature company in the field would do during a boom (I know a plumber that made the jump with a customer book, and an upcoming contract for example).
I was going through my parents' basement, and there were university info fill out things (SSN was still student ID at the time) that had my art on the other side.
I was amused, as it was a pretty complete set of identity, and clearly from before it really mattered.
I use it at work, where we have 2 sites connected with VPN (and each site with dnsmasq), and it works fantastically as a DHCP server, and dns server, allowing all computers to be accessed as computer.sitename

Isn't this defined as a local exploit?

I don't think that's true.
The statistics I've read have aircraft (commercial) about on par with cars per a vehicle hour, and safer for a vehicle mile.
As most people probably fly for longer than their trip to the airport, I call bunk.
Somebody linked to the trolley car problem yesterday.
I think skipping one and two would count as the trolley car with the fat man on a bridge (which most people agree is wrong).
A good warranty isn't back-up either.
In the sense that a better made drive is safer, RAID is safer too.
I use RAID 10, with a daily snapshot on a removable USB 1.5x the size of my array. Not perfect, but easy and cheap.
You can do the same thing on a handset, and if it's not an automatic reaction you need more self-preservation.
In fact, doing it with a cell phone does not reduce your handling ability the way that disengaging the clutch would.

Considering the judge uses the words "more likely than not" every single time I heard jury instructions were read, I would disagree.
Though you are correct that it is based on the evidence only, and not over-all probabilities I suppose.
The work with the OpenGL when they started working towards a target of OpenGL-ES really made it great IMO.
That was pre-work for the tabletty stuff.

So does driving in general.
Maybe the risk is worth the reward (like driving)? or are we to all live in a Matrix type virtual reality to save lives?
Cato.org is perhaps slightly dubious, but has the best study that comes up quickly, check for yourself.

Yes we do, but it doesn't lead to ambiguities.
Do you use short-sighted to additionally describe someone that cannot plan/see long-term consequences?
but isn't SSL protocall independent? wouldn't it make more sense just to do DNS with SSL?
For a web of trust to work on a global scale, you're going to need super trustables, it will essentially end up like we have now.
This isn't e-mail where our interactions are pretty much limited to friends.
Android boots significantly slower than my laptop. Even on my dual core tablet without a cellular part.
I don't think that's true.

I'd be worried about eyeballs falling out.
One hand gernade is less than a 20oz soda, high explosives aren't calorically dense, they are good at release.
You may as well say a gram of anything has huge amounts of energy (E=mc^2), extracting it is left as a thought excersize.
Total Cost of Ownership.

Agreed, if TCO is lower, then jobs are cost, end of story.
Maybe we can flip around the next MS based TCO study and be all, MS hates jobs.

It's implied that they would, as one of the boons was usage of the surface space.
I had a similar issue once.
I was going through my parents' basement, and there were university info fill out things (SSN was still student ID at the time) that had my art on the other side.
I was amused, as it was a pretty complete set of identity, and clearly from before it really mattered.
I thought it was quite pleasant to setup.

And seriously, flash isn't bad.
Anybody that hates flash should play the binding of isaac, great, fun, cross platform game, done with flash.
