In addition to the weak keys, the certs didn't have EKUs (Extended Key Usage) so the issued cert could be used as anything...
That sounds like a problem that should be fixed by the browser makers, not by the CA. Why does the default have to be "everything", and not "nothing", or some minimum set of usages?
Last I looked, Mint comes in at slightly larger than a similar aged Ubuntu release with a similar feature set. The current release is a DVD image for the full version already, only cut down versions are available on CD.
You never know, that small business in Luxemburg just might transform itself to the largest corporation in the world. I think Apple is just hedging it bets on this one.
After this publicity, I'd buy into their franchise if I was into running restaurants.
Judging by the "muahahahahaha, with the data we're collecting on Apple's servers over the next two year, we're going to kill Google" comment in TFS, I don't think you have misunderstood anything.
The problem is the money you're spending is coming out of taxes, which is reducing the amount that would have been invested in other productivity-enhancing or job-producing activities in the economy.
The politicians know this. All that they care about is that the money is being spent in their electorate, and that they are seen by the citizens as being at least partially responsible for bringing it there.
In some countries, tying a phone purchase to a contract is illegal. So no, not all of those devices sold are tied to a contract, even if you discount all the WiFi only iOS devices that are sold.
Apple can only give "units sold" figures for phones sold from the Apple store. That might work for the US market, but in many other countries they are doing the same as every other vendor and quoting figures for what they have shipped out to distributors, because those are the only figures they they can get.
Caffeine is physically addictive. Heavy users stopping cold turkey can expect severe headaches, fatigue, altered mood, fever and other symptoms.
Pot is not physically addictive, largely due to the fact that it stays in your system so long, so any sudden halt of consumption leads to a gradual drop in the level of THC in your body over a period of days or even weeks.
Psychological addiction to pot is of course possible, as it is with any other substance, object or activity.
Since there's not much of a technical reason the iPhone 4 cannot have Siri, I think a big part of why it's only on the 4s (and not even the iPad 2) is to help Apple understand server load from the service before it goes live for 100 million+ people.
That's a rather generous interpretation of Apple's motivation. Another interpretation might be that they needed to differentiate their minor hardware upgrade to convince iPhone 4 owners that it was worth upgrading.
I'll be impressed if PDF.js can handle this. I don't know about the USPS version, but Royal Mail's stamp printing relies on security features of PDF that do not work in any third party PDF reader I have seen. Which is a pain because Adobe Acrobat is a bloated pile of security vulnerabilities that manages to freeze Firefox while PDF documents load.
How long did it take your astroturfing department to find a country that showed IE rising and Chrome falling? I can't find ANY other country that shows that - UK's trend of Chrome rising and all other browsers falling seems typical. There is a lot of variation between absolute marketshare, but the general trend of Chrome rising and all other browsers falling (except Opera, which has a loyal but tiny userbase, even in its native Norway) are quite similar with the exception of Germany.

In a strict typing sense, an exception makes sense. Pretending that any integer is either true or false is not strict typing, it is a convenience feature mostly offered for backwards compatibility with C, so making it incompatible with C like this makes no sense at all.
More precisely, everything after 2.3 is up in the air. When 3.0 was released, we were promised source code for 3.1. Then 3.1 was released, and it was - "no, we've changed our numbering scheme so 3.1 is actually a minor update to 3.0, and what we previously called 3.1 will actually be 4.0". Now 4.0 is out, and Google are being very evasive about the question of source code. My guess is that the partners have become more powerful, and convinced Google that they should have a competitive advantage over the clone manufacturers in China. We might see the Honeycomb source soon, but I wouldn't expect ICS source at least until Jelly Roll is in the hands of Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericcson.
It's advanced now that iOS has it. Before it was a useless feature that no one wanted, forced on you by those Android developers who just don't get what makes a good product.
...hosted on a Win7 machine.... I had zero issues with it.
It is not surprising that you don't run into Linux kernel driver bugs when running on Windows 7. However it does not mean that the Linux kernel driver bugs are not real.

Global warming is so last decade. I blame fracking, myself.

Yes Dave, it does look like a poorly researched paid product placement.

Why should someone who assists a disabled person in exercising their democratic right to vote lose that right themselves?

Perception lags behind reality. Especially when it is combined with patriotic bias.

You're thinking of the iPhone 3G. The original iPhone doesn't run iOS4 at all.

Apparently their accountants haven't heard of "goodwill".
What value does a marketing contribution for a phone OS that noone wants have?

There's also the slightly rounded top and bottom edges, to avoid making a square device with round corners.
It might still be an improvement over "run your finger along the visible smearmarks on the screen" method of unlocking.

It seems this sort of path is not uncommon for child prodigies. Growing up isn't just about academic needs.
