I always wondered, are the speeds of rotation of the moon and Earth so perfectly synced that even after a long time the same side of the moon is facing us? I'd think there might be at least a little speed difference that over the years would cause our view of the moon to shift.
I think an important thing people are overlooking is that not having walled gardens allows curious people to learn a few things. I for one knew just about nothing about technology when I had my first computer back in around 2000 (yes I'm young), but it was very interesting poking around the Math Blaster directory editing files in paint and being like O: this actually changed how things look in the game! Such things are hardly even possible (for people who don't know about extraction methods) in big games even on Windows since they compress everything into a few large binaries, and I'm sure having everything "just work" would dampen a lot of learning. Sure it's nice that things just work but things already seem to be dumbing children down enough with TV and schools as it is...
Part of the reason for this is probably that p2p services have declined in quality with more spam on gnutella than ever and the younger ones who would do the p2p'ing not knowing how to use torrents (i've tried to help people use them often and for some reason they get confused about it) additionally, streaming services cut it for alot of people specially with the advent of apps like pandora. I personally replaced limewire with firefox+media download addon+grooveshark/similar sites. The download speed from such places is often far faster than p2p
This might also have been a good decision money-wise if someone else had found the bug but decided to save it for the pwn2own contest. Instead of risking getting $0 by being beat by someone else, he got a still respectable $1,337 relatively stress-free. (Note, I have no idea how small the chance that someone else had actually found the same bug and decided to save it for the contest is)
Yeah but in the context of mobile devices, Windows is pretty non-generic while "App" is a shortened version of Application and so is very generic in the relevant context.
Well part of the appeal of consoles is that you don't have to worry about minimum requirements or having to install special packages etc to play. just pop in the disc and go. Your suggestion would make a console about as desirable as a PC in that case if you'd have to upgrade every now and then. Also, developers would have to decide what hardware configuration to support, and that would still result in some increased development time, and it'd be quite a hassle for consumers if developers decided to develop only for the newest GPU/CPU combo for some reason.
It means that the rootkit can establish a connection from the victim to the attacker and receive orders from him/her. Since it's TCP i'm guessing it can also connect to IRC and other services that use TCP rather than UDP or more obscure protocols.
As a 17 year old, I must agree with Eleannor or w/e on the fact that credit cards are often required to purchase things online. I would have loved to get TF2 and HL2 through steam when they were like $10 each, but I don't have a credit card and they require one, and my parents don't like using them online due to keylogger concerns (with which I agree). Sometimes access is restricted in such a way that acquiring it through legal means is simply not possible. another example, $100 "concrete mathematics" book, nvidia's gpu gems books...there's just no way my parents are gonna pay for that. although there's always getting a job...
whoa! How did you do that? I'm 17 and my vision has steadily gotten worse since 4th grade and I'm at -5.0 on both eyes right now. Any tips? Because i don't like wearing contacts and glasses and it'd be really nice to improve at least a little.
Well I guess for the arduino's case you're right. It's already pretty dumbed down since they remove the need to know about port registers/actual serial communication/etc so not having to worry about threading would fit its purpose. It might be better if the actual arduino people implemented it into its standard language though.
Or instead, people could just implement simple threading and learn something in the process rather than switch to a whole other language just for one problem.

The reason given: 'because it requests a specific law enforcement action.'"
I know this is probably wrong but in grade school I was always told one of the Executive Branch's jobs is to enforce laws?

why'd the Hipster burn himself with the pizza?
because he ate it before it was cool.
Unless they won't sell your app or you are using a subsription model and don't want to markup your prices by like...what was it? 20%? 30%?
Guild Wars 2 is where it's at :D
Remove the bottom part of the guitar and put a hole on the end of the fretboard. About as creative as it gets 8)
This ^. Professional reviews on sites like CNet and Amazon remind me of the sponsored ads on Google.
Quitting while they're ahead.
Oh nvm I'm on an old blackberry and a 4 showed up after July since that was the number of comments -_-
Hopefully it won't blow up or something...that'd be quite a buzzkill

This has been done by Fallout 3 and other games, I'm sure. Don't think it being in an iBook format is special enough to require a patent o.0
