"Got screwed"? How, exactly? This is exactly how the system is supposed to work.
No, Google, Mozilla, and even Microsoft showed how the system is supposed to work. Apple sat on its hands for nearly two weeks, while its users were still exposed to possible rogue certificates because apparently Apple didn't think removing the CA's root certificate from the user's Keychain should also remove its EV certs.
Paul Krugman agrees. He argues that the benefits of HFT are dubious, but the costs essentially amount to a tax on anyone who doesn't have access to a HFT system. He also compares HFT to someone who speculates on the market based on confidential information, which has been well established as a Bad Thing for a long time.
Your article was an epic fail. Who needs an well reasoned, well articulated argument when you can just repeat statements from Google verbatim and slap a "You Decide" title over them? I knew nothing about Go before reading it, and I know even less now. Well done.
Then you should know that most of the world is first-to-file rather than first-to-invent. This does the opposite of what you claim: small inventors no longer have to worry about being taken to court and having to prove that they invented it first; now as long as there wasn't prior art, they're in the right.
Now if we can just do something about software patents, we might have a decent system.
In a letter to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Amazon said, "a simple nationwide system of state and local sales-tax collection, evenhandedly applied to all sellers no matter their business model, location of level of remote sales," would be acceptable, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Amazon wants to avoid it because they profit of off their customers preferentially buying online to avoid state taxes.
Not quite. They want to avoid it because if they have to charge California sales tax and a smaller online retailer (without affiliates) doesn't, that puts Amazon at a disadvantage. What they're proposing with this deal is that California will hold off while congress works on federal legislation that applies to every online retailer:

In other words, they don't want to have to charge sales tax in California if their competitors who don't have operations there don't have to. They don't mind so much if it's an even playing field among online retailers.
Who says that the reaction the audience has to the work must be the same as what the artist intended? The ability of people to individually interpret art is one of its better qualities, in my opinion.
Even the most arch-capitalist of pre-welfare-state Western thinkers a century ago would have laughed at the idea that you could sell radio frequencies to private groups. "I get exclusive right to send waves of THIS length."
Yeah, the idea that that radio frequencies could be licenced certainly didn't exist a century ago. Nope, no way.
People are fleeing to AT&T"? Really? Don't know what TMobile are doing wrong (decent range of phones, cheaper plans), but I'd be curious on the fleeing to AT&T part.
Yeah. I thought that people were fleeing T-Mobile specifically to get away from AT&T after the merger attempt was announced.
(I confess I only read one of those two links, though)
Did you read the second one? Because it deals with the specific situation you mention, with a hypothetical about Linus' account getting compromised. I'm not an expert on Git, but according to the article, the developer in question would be informed by Git that a commit had been made that didn't match their personal repository the next time they tried to submit their changes.
You're an idiot. He's not blaming the victim, he's (rightly) laying some of the blame at the feet of the people who revealed the victim. The post he was replying to what the one that said "you leak something, you deserve what you get, hurr".
Hulu is for sale. I could see Starz buying them and trying to start its own streaming service. I don't think it would work, but I could see it happening.

Wait, are the Republicans really suggesting that a merger would create jobs? Do they understand how acquisitions work?

Just to clarify: they're not trying to get a law passed that gets rid of internet sales taxes, they're trying to get a federal law passed that regulates internet sales taxes for all companies.
In other words, they don't want to have to charge sales tax in California if their competitors who don't have operations there don't have to. They don't mind so much if it's an even playing field among online retailers.
The same Texas where a quarter of the population doesn't have health insurance? And where health insurance costs more compared to income than every state except Mississippi? And where health insurance costs are rising faster than the national average (same link)?
Oh yeah, great place.
I think it's less about advertising and more about integrating reviews into Maps/Android.

It's Missouri. It'd be more likely that someone would complain if she were arguing that same-sex marriage should be legal.
The point is that the sign doesn't have any effect on that. If someone wants to shoot up a school, a sign isn't going to stop him.

Did you bother to read either of the two links in the summary about that very topic?
Basically, the nature of Git makes it very unlikely that someone could insert malicious code into the kernel via kernel.org without someone noticing.
Oh, and by "they" I meant the Guardian.
I know the will get Assange one way or another. They just created the circumstance to have him charged in Australia - their one sure bet.
If that does happen, it'll be Assange's own fault. I don't buy for a minute that shadowy TLAs forced him into this; they just gave him an excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/02/us-wikileaks-cables-assange-idUSTRE7816SM20110902

Another mark in Prime's favor: it doesn't use Silverlight, so it works on Linux.

Yeah, HBGary sure is a powerful organization.
