Generally (and this is changing, slowly) the audience that a lot of websites want to reach doesn't even know other browsers exist. They use what came with their computer.
The company I work for doesn't think of Apple. We run FreeBSD and more recently Centos on our servers. Though maybe that's just because our CEO is a UNIX fan...
As teenagers grow up and start earning money they begin valuing their time more than dollars (or euros or roubles, whatever.)
Absolutely. When I was in college I torrented all the time. Movies, video games, music, ect. Then I got a job, and I just started buying them. It's easier, even if it costs more.
This isn't going to work at all. First off, its the corporation itself that is responsible for the loss of data. This is inherent in how corporations exist, to protect those who work for them from being sued/put in jail for the actions of the company. Second, as someone has already said below, someone in IT who doesn't like the CEO will just leak data on purpose.
Smoking tobacco by itself in its natural form is not as hazardous as smoking the tobacco you buy in a store. Tons of chemicals get put into it (for what reason I have no idea) by the manufacturer. Companies did not invent smoking tobacco, but they made it more unhealthy and widespread. Just like McDonalds didn't invent unhealthy food that makes you overweight, but they certainly made it a lot easier to get and a lot more fattening that it was before (since that's what makes it taste good).
I think probably the latter. You could say "oh I hated this game but the three people I've talked to about it said it's great so it must be just me", but now that the internet is here, all the haters can get together and talk about it, and this makes more people who wouldn't have complained before complain because they have backup. Crowd mentality and all that.
So how would sessions be tracked?
By cookies? Those can be spoofed (firesheep showed us how easy that is).
By MAC address? Also spoofable.
By a line in the registry? Wouldn't work on computers that don't have a registry, and is also easy to duplicate.
I didn't assume password stealing was a problem, since that can even be tied to specific modem if need be. Plus, I don't generally torrent for longer than 8 hours anyway. I can wait to download the bluray movie the next time I get access via my neighbor's router (bittorrent is quite good at resuming downloads).
The digital certificates on a smartcard is actually very probable, but certificates have their faults (read the slashdot articles on the CA that got hacked).
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, so forgive me if I'm just not getting the joke here.
Using a special login wouldn't be difficult to get around. Just cruise around until you find someone who's got an open router... Unless the ISP is requiring a login on EVERY web-page you go to, in which case the simple act of surfing the web would just take too much time to make it worthwhile.
If software is required, then eventually someone will make a workaround, or make software that spoofs the authentication somehow. People who pirate are a very resourceful bunch.
I was wondering if someone else was going to point that out. 5.1 - 3.8 = 1.3% gap. That's not an incredibly distinctive gap. It looks like two percent at first glance (5-3) but even that's not really that much of a difference.
Though, going by a popular stereotype, maybe the difference is due to CS majors who move into their parent's basements after graduation...
The ability to write/speak properly is important no matter what line of work you go into. Regardless of your job, you'll be interacting with people, and some of them won't understand the terse techno babble that most geeks tend to talk in when they're talking about technology. You don't need to be able to write novels, but you do need to be able to communicate on a professional level. Sadly, this is not something generally taught in universities.
but what I often see is a CS graduate who does not know what DNS is but that will talk for hours on end about the theory of distributed systems
I know that a lot of people who graduated in my class with CS degrees have no idea what DNS is. At least at my school, networking courses were in the Computer Engineering major. I took them because I thought they were interesting, but I didn't have to, and neither did anyone else. Then again the majors there are really strange and backwards so I don't know if it's this way at other schools.

I recall reading on an earlier article that an app store was included in windows 8.

That's why you put the camera ON their shoulder.
Gives a new meaning to the "Cold war"
iOS based devices do the same thing. I imagine W7 based phones have a similar mechanism as well.

I'm pretty sure parent meant to be humorous. Chill out.
I dunno about you, but when I face palm I don't do it so hard as to cause lacerations... You should think about cutting your fingernails.
or even how to search in a way that you pull up all 140k codes
A search that pulls up all 140k codes is not working properly (unless that's what you wanted I suppose). A good search should pull up 10-20 codes.
AFAIK masturbation isn't a medical condition. Chronic masturbation on the other hand.... "Other contact with hand" maybe?
If the system was designed properly in the first place it should be scaleable....
Then again this is medical software we're talking about.
Yes, I know, just like people like the taste of a McDonalds burger. I didn't say there was no reason people enjoy the tobacco.

I suspect that companies would just spend 100,000*number_of_leaks to hide the fact that biometric data was lost.
Isn't profit supposed to be step 4?

Portal 2 was amazing, and the one thing that really stuck with me was the storyline. I would play any game that had a story that good
