Well, he is influential because he is famous. I would still say he is one of the most influential thinkers (just think of how often the topic of if Einstein believed in God comes up)
Not this again. This has been discussed to death. If they do not ask people to put away regular books, why should I be asked to put away my ebook reader. Either make a consistent rule that one should put away any sort of distraction away, for the sake of situation awareness or dont prohibit anything.
That is exactly what I am doing now, I do pay for my current VPN service. I only wanted to test their service without installing spyware. I went ahead and installed in a dedicated VM now, though.
You can opt of setting babylon as you default search engine and home page. But you cannot opt out of installing their toolbar. It also seems to install iNTERNET Turbo, which I would consider yet another spyware.
I think it is pretty relevant. It is not the poor, but the middle class that were turning their nose up at tata nano (the poor, I expect will continue with their two wheelers)
To make that point a bit clear, I am proposing to give write privileges to both binaries and hash files only to a user account called "windefender". Every body else has read and execute privileges. When the binary runs, it also gets to update the list of hash files.
This is how most antivirus/antimalware programs work. Now, do you see a problem with this approach?
Ah, interesting, the same law that allows storming embassy also allows inspecting diplomatic bags. This still violates the Vienna Convention though. You cannot randomly inspect diplomatic bags.
I am not sure where you getting at. There is no such thing as a read only file. Someone (or some account) has to have a write privilege. I say give the same account write privileges to the hash file.
I am sorry I dont think you understand user account management or security 101.
If a hacker can modify its files, he can easily make it to not submit the hash at all (or always submit a different hash for a specific set of hashes). Unless you have hardware support (like trusted computing device), you have no way of verifying your own program has been modified. If the hacker cannot change any of your files, he cannot change your local hash list file either. So I dont see the benefit of having the hashes remotely.
My question still is why do they opt to do this. If I submit a completely file for unidentified hashes, I can understand. It would help them investigate it and update the hash list. I still dont see the purpose of having the hash list remotely.
Er, the Vienna convention rules obviously covers any sort of inspection of the bag, including xrays. If xrays (and other sort of waves) are allowed the whole thing becomes useless.
Any sources for that claim? That would be worse than storming an embassy. Diplomatic bags often contain very sensitive communication. One time pads, encryption devices are all send using diplomatic bags. It would be unimaginable to claim that the host nation can violate diplomatic bags (unless they are certain that the bag violates the conventions governing diplomatic bags, and by opening it they can prove it).
The branding matters. It is intended as an upgrade for iPod Touch users, so that it does not eat into the sales of iPad. I believe Apple would expect people to own both an iPad and an iPod (7" one, not old generation one).
Because then the malware will simply target this just like they do other Windows components?
What makes you think service cannot be targeted just because the list of hashes is stored remotely? The service still has create the hash locally and query the remote hash list. This service would be as effective if the hash list is local.

Your 'sound' wouldnt travel far in air, as it would not be loud enough (does not have a good enough amplitude). His sound would.

Gag them, sedate them?
They probably gagged him, so that probably had the 100% guarantee.

Exactly my point. I was responding to the knee jerk reaction of the anon.
Or heaven forbid, silently reading their book on e-book reader.

I would never be sure that I completely got rid of it. So I would never install it on my primary workstation.
You can opt of setting babylon as you default search engine and home page. But you cannot opt out of installing their toolbar. It also seems to install iNTERNET Turbo, which I would consider yet another spyware.
It seems I cannot opt out of installing the search bar during installation. Too bad, I will never get to try it out.

I believe what GP means is that there is a market for this car. India's middle class alone is larger than most first world countries population.
And loonies calling everybody else loonies.
Sorry about the name calling, I was a bit pissed.

Thanks for the citation.
Actually you can offer whatever deal you want. It is up to you to find out what makes you comfortable, and offer it to the hackers.

Exactly. At the resolution available at that time, the 7" would have sucked. He made the right call, and is still right about releasing the 7" now.

It does work in my workplace. I guess it depends on whether you trust your users to use the button properly. My workplace does, my apartment does not.
