Physical access is the killer, however a usb device that plugs into a system that is running and logged in has more access to a system than a live cd that cannot access encrypoted disks.

I was supprised D was in the top 20. I did have to check if this was not a joke.
As for the number 3 "visual" entry, not being a language. well, other ones in the list can be critisized as well.
Java strenght is not the language, but the platform, perl is more a scriping languge than a programmers tool. Deplhi is more pascal than delphi, unless you count the platform.
Well, maybe we can get "brainfuck"(yes it really is a language) in that list next year }->
Corporate key do get expired, if you run updates. THis is from expierence. THe compagny gets a program to roll out taht updates they key. I gues the company key got leaked or something like that.
If you run some pc/laptop that is not connected to the compagny lan , and update it after a year or so, it ets a invalid key.
Only official way to solve this is to reinstall XP (well, rolling out fresh images is far less work for support than fixing things)
If you read teh article you read that flash uses bytecode, just like jave, and that a part of the exploit was exploiting one byte of cehcks on the bytecode.
If you know java/JVM like he exploited flash bytecode, you can exploint null derefeneces just like he did with flash in java.
JIT, with all kind of crazy optimizations will make it only worse.
The problem is that you can break out the virtual machine(/application) if you knwo it well enough.
Even virtualisation will not fix this. Look at the vmware 1.05 release notes and you see that there was a exploit where the client could write in the ENTIRE host file system.
The marketing of the free version community version has always been that you cannot distribute alteration it for commercial usage. They are always a bit vague about it to promote their enterprise version.
However since the community version is gpl software, there is absolutely no problem to use it for commercial purposes, until you are actually changing mysql db , something you rarely really want to do.
On their enterprise version they put all kind of claims for support and hot fixes, but for that kind of enterprice there are better commercial alternatives available ( Oracle/MS-SQL server). It is nice that good support is availaable for those who are more or less locked to the Mysql platform because their mission critical application was written in mysql by a programmer in his spare time. "Just because my sql works"
MS had a vista product aimed at this market segment: origami, however vista is too large for this ultra cheap pc. they also have windows mobile. But every one know windows mobile has very little to do with windows, and fails to run everyday windows applications.
Vista origami can run nicely on the already existing (900$ ) Umpc, but the ultra cheap eee pc was an unexpected success.
And MS already has a modularized version of XP ready, XP embedded. It is a small step to offer that to Asus with special licensing/branding condition (=cheap)
Why let a serious multi thousend dollar switch run a applation stack you can run on a 500euro desktopc pc? Well, there are 3 ways yo spend money:
-Women. Most expense one, but definity most fun. -Gambling. Most unsure way to loose money. -Computers, most sure way to spend a large amoutn of money.
The QOS point at network level is a good point. TCIP/ip (v6) supports QOS, but as long as there is no incentive to makr some packets as less important or less time critical than others, everything in the internet will be marked Top-priority.
There needs to be some incentive to mark some traffic more important as others. Otherwise internet will be one big goo where the isp determine what is important, and not the users.
Buy Blue ray player now, and buy it again next year when the 2.0 profile becomes mandatory for the published disks. Only the sony PS3 promises it can be updated. All "cheap" BR players do not say such details, and probably you can forget about that.
The cause is LIKE THE FINE ARTICLE SAID, the mirroring of the movie "fitna" a movie made by a anti-moslim politicus.

The fact how they market the community version as not for commercial usage is a bit misleading. The community version is available under a gpl version, and they cannot limit usage. The only limit that apply is if you want to change the code, and mix some commercial code in the database server. That is something that happens very rare.
You can pay for support of a version with extra features, but you don't have to pay for normal commercial usage.
What you often see is that virtualisation is used to put old application that are only reliable on old but unsupported OS (like windows 2000 or NT 4.0) run on virtualized hardware.
So i bet they the list of operating OS will be longer. ( win98, NT4.0, windows 2000 server, old SP1 XP1 to mention a few)
If these are not SUPPORTED however then for big corporations will take a look at the competitors for a virtialisation server that supports old OS.
"And it's no accident that the "service" would be geographically-based: an American company would only be in a position to sue an American citizen for the content they pirate"
p4p is neurtral to that.
p4p can be implemented without the p4p server knowning much about the downlaods and p2p applications are not sensive to what content they are transferring. THis is not a part of the discusssion required.
It would be a different story if the p4p server would be caching content, but there is no required definiton of that in the p4p service.
It seems that RIAA is perfectly capable of sueing people that are not using computers. This is only scaring people.
ISP are always very reluctant to tell that they do not have any redundancy in their number of outside links to the rest or the internet. That information just is not available. And how peering agreements work is mostly hidden.
They simply do not tell, and there is no established protocol to get that information reliable. This p4p would give this information in a way usable to p2p applications.
One disadvantage of p4p is that not everyone will be equal according to p4p. It might reason that all Americans can be served at a at a lower cost than people in europe. To Europeans that have as good connection to US as to neighbor states it might look like the American community is leeching them. They only prefer to serve eachother, and leave the scraping to foreigners. As a result Trackers in Europe will ban US leeches, making p4p less useful. (This is an example, but assumed is that
This p4p is only useful to users if it serves ADDITIONAL bandwidth that was not available before. Currently however most connections as asymetrical, it is very easy to use the full upload, while there is plenty of room left in the download spectrum.
For the current connection I have now i have very little trouble to use up all available upload BW.
The dell price is lowered by a lot by the 60 pound delivery costs DELL charges. You do not see that amount until you continue in the ordering price. Something to keep in mind, because there is no option not to pay those costs. ever.
Which more or less proves that they are not efficient. THe article shows that human imperfection is the cause of the shockwave traffic jams. and you prove yourself that the overhad lights are barey affecting speed too.
"One strategy already in use to reduce shockwaves is imposing temporary speed limits, a method TRL introduced on London's M25 orbital motorway."
Here in the Netherlands 90% of all the highways have traffic detection and automated speed limits. However this does not prevent the shockwaves and is not proved by any data. People just repeat this over and over, but little actual research is done, and most research that is done is putting some traffic rules in effect and look at the behaviour of the road.
The lights minimizing the speed limit work however excellent for head-tail collisions, since everyone knows that as soon as the "50" above the highway is flashing a traffic jam is forming ahead of them. This is a self forfilling proficy, since the "50" above the road is below the optimal speed of 80 where the capacity of the road is maximal. (Again a number that is not supported by research data)
And the last is the problem of non-engineers setting these limits. If you tell that 80(km/hour) is the optimal road capacity, this means that you have to set a speed limit ABOVE 80, and probably 100 or so, or else the average would not be reached.

I do not have expierce with it, nor googled it, but my impression that windows mobile and CE are basically the same thing.
"ahead of schedule and under budget, which is something you don't often hear about in government circles"
If you put your double(or more actual, tripple it up) up schedule far ahead enough, let sales cut it in half, you can actually do a project on time.
