There are VERY strict export laws regarding the US and Iran, just look at the crap sourceforge had to go through because of them. Some beurocrat labeled sourceforg as a software export system and sourceforge had to block IP's from a list of countries.
You bring up a very good point. When people compare electric cars to gas cars (prius is a hybrid, but bear with me), they tend to compare gas prices vs battery replacement costs. What they forget, is that other than the batteries, electric cars have WAY less maintenance costs. There is no engine oil to replace, no exaust system to rust out, no piston rings to wear out, no alternator to die suddenly, no spark plugs to clog up, no head gasket to leak, etc. Electric cars have less maintenance because they are just simpler. Unless there is a manufacturer's defect, batteries are basically the only maintenance the drive-train of an electric car will ever need.
And how long do you think it will be before Microsoft removes that little clause from the x86-certification rules? In fact, how long do you think it will be until they make it mandatory that it can't be disabled?
I don't think Ubuntu's bootloader will be signed by any key distributed by OEM's. My guess is you will need to install their key (which requires *physical* access) before install Ubuntu.
Also, it's not the megapixels that count, but the field of view and the details captured. Most of that is in the lens and the combining of the sensors.
Why is it the "field of view" that counts? Your required field of view is entirely dependent on A) The size of your target and B) The distance you are from your target.
Yeah, I can't believe how *BADLY* he handled that. All he had to do was slowly make his way over to the table (he knew at least 30 seconds ahead that it was acting up), casually put it down, maybe make some hand gestures, then casually pick up the other one. I doubt more than 10% of the audience would have noticed that, but the he did it EVERYONE knew the thing had fucked up.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the region coding has anything to do with the encryption, I believe that's on a reserved part of the disk and only the data itself is encrypted.
All I ask is that you later post the IP logs of the people that were actually dumb enough to download a zipped exe file from a link in a slashdot comment.
The top of the article says it's equivalent to 1000 cameras, but we've had 10MP cameras for close to a decade now. Even the article itself (farther down) says that it uses 98 (a hell of a lot more than 1000) 14MP camera sensors.
Did you even read my comment? Or do you not understand the difference between "break" and "circumvent"? If you take a chain-saw to a locked door, you have "broken" the door. If you climb in through the open window beside it, you have "circumvented" it.
You didn't answer the question. If I copy 2 cd's, is that a $5000 infringement, a $10,000 infringement (2 cds) or a $100,000 infringement (2 cds X 10 tracks each)?
Also, once you pay the $5000, are you now allowed to keep the content? If so, trading 2TB drives full of material (and then paying the fine), may become cheaper than buying the material in the first place!
Before anyone jumps in with the "x86 machines are required to have a method to turn it off" argument, remember that there is NO SUCH requirement for ARM systems, something Microsoft has been working on for a few years now.

techincally the ip header gets there first!
You know "shock" has more than 1 definition right?

Good lord, hack-a-day featured this over 2 1/2 weeks ago. In fact, there's already a bloody iPhone app!

Because Apple already made that extra $80+ (and then some) dollars on the hardware.
Your math, flawed it is.
Care to point out the flaw?

I fail to see what that has to do with my comment.

Right, and then some idiots will get tired of their "super rats" and release them into the wild.
In Canada the law is that anything below the high-water mark is public land. I *believe* the US uses the same rule, but don't quote me on that.
Your campus (I'm assuming College/University) is worried that terrorirsts are going to physically attack their networking gear?!?

Well, DNF came out last year, so we need SOMETHING to top that for 2012!
when Apple releases a product, it's fully baked and ready to go.

Only if they continue using the same employees.
