I'm sure this flexible thing will be just a fad and a failure. Unless Apple has already patented it in which case: "Nokia you mean mean copy machines!"
Well, I guess that if you get a device with this functionality (and it isn't locked down to only run win8) you will have the ability to install custom OS signatures to secure your linux boot
Well if it were OBVIOUS then why was it not done before?
Well, why indeed. GP is right it is an obvious thing to do, why it hasn't been done probably goes back to human stupidity. The problem isn't why nobody else has done it, the problem is that the patent office granted a patent to a software configuration that is obvious and non innovative.
Of course nobody wants to mention that this isn't an "actual invention", just some stupid configuration that does not require either inovation or research.
Oh, look I patented letting the logged on user choose the longevity of their cookies! YAY!
True. They got fooled once by their ignorance and they are much more vigilant now. Much more vigilant, at that, as their European and American counterparts. I just hope that the conflict that will inevitably present itself at some point between china and (maybe) the rest of the world will be a productivity war. Anything else would be just a shame...
Not to mention that most, if not all, attacks against Your country were so low tech in their conception and execution that they could be attributed to another geologic era...
Hitler invented the Digital computer by making the Allies create one to decrypt his love letters. That Russian president who started the clod^H^H^H^Hcold war Invented the Internet by making the Americans create it
I usually don't do pro Apple comments (check my history) but I'm obliged to say that from a user perspective Apple's software is always very well thought out and very ergonomic. Apple creates very well build products Hardware and software.
I spent a day with a MacBook Air the other day and it just was better than any other thing that comes pre set up. Hardware is well built performance is optimal and battery life is great also. Of course at the end I gave it up for my 11h workhorse netbook that is based on LXDE with tons and tons of customization. But hey I have spent many a night creating that OS image and I have to maintain it periodically.
I don't know if this will make sense but Apple does things very well. They still think forward. Ok, their latest desktop paradigm might be just a huge gnome 3 ripoff. All their gestures they have got from other places mostly in the FOSS world. Siri was another company's killer app. The fact remains that that Apple existing means that all the other big companies have to keep up with the changes Apple pushes to the mainstream. That's progress right there!
Anyway, fuck iOS and fuck Android give my a bootloader unlocked and well build phone device already!
Hmm... I really struggle to get its application though. In my limited web dev experience when you end up with a response that could benefit from being partially encrypted you usually are just doing it wrong. I mean, it's responses anyway so why not have two of them? Anyway, I have only used XML only very very rarely if you don't count HTML so I'm not qualified to judge.

Tl;Dr do you have an audio book or a 200 word version?
what the hell are you on about?
Seriously, how far away is the thread you were trying to reply to?
LoL

unfortunately geeks like the avg /. visitor are a dying breed vastly outnumbered by the hordes of the - now hip - undead, media mass consumers.
That is the site that says iDevices overpower Android devices 4 to 1, right?
Well then all their other statistics must be right as well!
The best thing for Nokia to do now is to release their phones with a choice of several OS's
Or drop dead?

yes, you are right!

Anyway, very insightful, wish I had mod points.
because new ones are so cheap, a broken one will be thrown away instead of repaired. More waste. More consumption
Good finally we can stop buying microwaves and spend our money on pans; where you can cook real food in :-)
Ohh... Thief....
Good, now if only Governments could adopt this idea...

Have we finally arrived at an unescapable "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" moment?
Everybody knows that real programmers program the logic gates directly, no sugar there!

Historically the Microsoft Office suite has been a very prominent vector as far as spambot infections go and now they put it on the cloud?
He doesn't like excess whitespace because he is programming with it
I'm absolutely with you!
The recently bailed out Greeks on the other hand are very excited!

user:What does Bokeh mean?
cleverbot:Ha you don't know what a bot is. Heres a hint you are one.
user:What the bloody hell is Bokeh?
siri:I don't know what you mean with: "What the bloody hell is water?"
At least siri can stay on topic misinterpreting you LoL!
