I'm guessing the main reason AS3 is 'slow' is due to the capturing of function scope. C/C++ only needs to provide function/global scope, os method calls are likely to be much simpler to implement.
and static with dynamic. Iron* is Microsoft's moniker for dynamic implementations of languages running on the CLR. AS3 is mostly statically typed except for the '*' type (which is similar to C#4's 'dynamic' type)
i doubt it - you're forgetting that for 99% of users, upgrading their computer means getting a new one.
the problem with vista wasn't hardware, it was XP. XP was the 1st consumer OS from Microsoft that didn't entirely suck; which really is all that most people want from an OS: let me run my apps without crashing all the time. vist, or win7 can have all the latest bells and whistles, but in the end yahoo mail will still just be yahoo mail, and unless Microsoft can convince people that they really are going to spend the time to learn how to use all those new features this time around, then, well, people aren't going to buy it.
actually, silverlight does not use.NET CAS (code access security) model. the only code that silverlight will run is transparent and verifiable. this is exactly the same security model that flash uses.
Datacenter-x64 supports 64 cores. however, the performance is somewhat limited by some global locks low down in the kernel. win7 adds support for 256 cores by partitioning the cores into logic groups. they've also removed several of those global locks to reduce contention at scale.

Firefox's JavaScript interpreter doesn't use OS-provided libraries
It doesn't need to, for a plugin to assist in these kinds of exploits it just needs to allocate memory (on the heap or stack) and allow the hacker to write to it.
The key point is that normally a buffer overflow in a windows browser (IE, Firefox, etc...) would not normally be exploitable due to things like ASLR, but the prevalence of scripting languages, flash, java on people's machines makes circumventing these overflow protections much easier.
the Jace Hall show, along with all the new content on crackle.com is show with pro equipment and encoded in H.264 - that's why we require a recent build of the flash player. if you have a fast internet connection you can watch the 2Mbps 720p H.264 stream. we think it's some of the best looking video on the web today.
the layout of the bottom half of Eclipse's 'About' dialog is slightly better than the one in VS. apart from that it's a steaming pile of crap. i curse every time i have to use it, which is far too often these days.
Song of Stone is poetry in prose. On one hand it's Banks just showing off the fact that he can actually write. On the other it's a dark, tragic story of love and conflict.

well, if you car is unroadworthy (ie a danger to other drivers) then the police can pull you over and impound your car.

Actually, the win7 codebase is missing one of the '+'s

the kernel for Server 2008 R2 is going to be based on the win7 kernel.

err, AS3 code (on flash 9) is JITed.

not quite - the finding was overturned on appeal, and the case was subsequently settled out of court.

chrome runs the plugins in a separate, sandboxed process. IE8 runs the whole page (including plugins) in a separate, sandboxed process.
TFA is inaccurate. any browser that hosts plugins capable of executing user code are potentially vulnerable. this isn't limited to ActiveX.

you could provide implicit casts for those types in order to remain compatible with those APIs, but then you're back where you started...

you know wrong. ActiveX on Vista runs in a sandbox with lower rights than the current user.

yeah, where's the control group?
