There's an unpatched vulnerability in Internet Explorer 8 that enables simple data-stealing attacks by Web-based attackers and could lead to an attacker hijacking a user's authenticated session on a third-party site.
Data theft is easy to detect, just look for missing data. These sound like data spying/eavesdropping attacks, that is, where the attacker is able to monitor all your data without your knowledge. Nowadays it seems that "theft" has come to mean "something I don't like".
Are you? As I understood it, this isn't about one brand labeling theirs as another brand, it's about a generic term for a particular type of grape/taste, and wines being labeled accordingly. Have any more absurd examples that are clearly not what I meant?
I know, they're so biased, even though they have that empty "do no evil" mantra. If they really wanted to be fair, they'd submit your search request to a randomly selected search engine out of all those available. I don't see how this would be a problem, and it would end their abusive monopoly position. But of course they won't do that, not unless we throw the book at 'em.
That's nothing; I did a web search for "how do I search the web" and Google wasn't even on the first page. They need to improve their services so they can help people who need to find a search engine or how to search the web.
Let there be no doubt as to where monopolies come from. Blaming businesses for bribing government officials is like blaming malware for infecting operating systems. In this case, you don't even need an OS. A wine producer is making his product with his own property, and using whatever names he damn well pleases isn't harming anyone.
Can't wait until we get court rulings against clickwrap agreements that are so overly-verbose that no sane person will read it.[...] "OK OK FINE. I'LL CLICK THIS DAMN BUTTON BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO READ 100 PAGES OF POORLY CRAFTED LEGALESE."
Why do we need court rulings? Just refuse to agree and return the product. If everyone did that, then they'd change it very quickly. What's that you say, not many people would return it? I guess that says something about how big of a problem this is, then.
If they had something better to earn money doing, they'd be doing that. So, if you prevent them from prostitution, they'll be doing something worse to earn money. That's better how?
From what I've read about memristor's, they don't wear out like Flash does.
Doesn't it depend on the technology used to implement the memristor? The name merely refers to how it behaves electrically, not how it's actually built. As an example, a normal resistor is a device where current flow and voltage are proportional. This can be implemented by many materials, for example carbon composition, metal film, wire wound. Each has different lifetime/stability characteristics, even though they are all resistors.
Employ him to test hardware. You could apply for the job yourself, insist on telecommuting, and then let your son test the things instead. He'll find bugs nobody else would, and your electronic devices will be spared from things like oatmeal abuse.
I finally understand the Wikipedia page on a memristor. Normal resistors don't have any state (memory), whereas memristors do. How their resistance is affected by things done to them isn't specified; that depends on the particular device.
However, this is like saying that the mathematical theory used to count apples harvested from an orchard (addition of natural numbers) is the same as the mathematical theory behind the algorithm the slashcode uses to count the number of comments below threshold (addition of natural numbers). It allows one to port result from ancient mathematics to modern applications without having to rederive everything from first principles; it does not mean that sub-threshold comments are, deep down, really made of apples.
I'm sorry, can you state this in terms of cars? Thanks.
I think this makes more sense and is a better measure of understanding. There are issues of cheating of course, but with a well-designed exam I think this problem can be minimized.
Why would you care whether a student cheats himself out of an accurate measure of his understanding? The purpose is presumably feedback so he can improve his understanding where it's lacking, before he moves on in his studies.
Only in the last few years did I learn the trick of using the sticker to peel the rest of the gunk off. Just re-stick it and quickly remove several times and most of it comes off. I sometimes use masking tape for the rest. The nice thing about this approach is that you aren't using any harsh chemicals that might alter the surface (someone here mentioned the piano finish on newer displays).
Looks to be just more bloat on an already bloated piece of software. The least they could do is modularize iTunes so that if I click a box on install I can make it so that the application is just a way to put music onto an iPod. I am sick and tired of the video and TV stuff forcing me to put Quicktime on my machine!
Yep, leave it to Apple to make the simple ping command all bloated and require QuickTime, etc.
When I have an empirical proof that god exists, I will believe. For the moment, I have empirical proof that gravity exists
AND there is plenty of evidence that the idea of a God serves psychological needs, and is thus very likely a mental tool. I've heard that in golf you should follow the swing all the way through, even after you've already hit the ball. The reason is that this helps you do the part of the swing before you hit the ball properly.
Oh yes. I still have a TI 99/4A and a few copies of Tunnels of Doom, and a pristine manual, along with many fond memories. Quite a sophisticated game for its time. With Classic/99 you can get a TV filter that further recreates the experience.
Roll Away/Kula World is a really well-done puzzle game for the Playstation 1. It runs in smooth 60 FPS and manages to actually look decent in 3D. The music is really soothing techno. Playing it really exercises one's mind in manipulating 3D objects.
I'll stick with Codeville, where one spends enormous amounts of time writing code. Costs almost no money, and the virtual goods work quite well in the real world. Also highly addictive (hmmm, who should I sue for it being too addictive? K&R?).

And this is real theft, not imaginary theft like "stealing" games is.

Whoops, sorry, I went a little further and it's pretty clear in the definition section.

Obviously it will only let the real owner of the account block devices that unauthorized people are using to access his account.

The word natural is a boon to sellers of natural products, that's for sure.
And ad hominem isn't a noun. So you don't call something an ad hominem; you call it ad hominem.
I see it more as respect for the extremists who would raise hell if they continued to carry the product.

The summary makes it sound like it's merely the one with the greatest clock frequency. Me RTFA is out of the question, this being Slashdot and all.
