It's time to start punishing the companies for the hacking attempts they failed to predict and defend against. It's the case of a company that has no plan and no thought about a hacking attempt, because they're all too busy whipping the Pakastani child laborers who run the site. Nike liable? You bet! The next step is for Nike to extract some money from the hackers, but Nike needs to learn the lesson about hacking attempts and security. It's such a shame when the lesson has to be learned the hard way, but it has to happen.
The greatest bottleneck in computing speed for applications such as nuclear simulation isn't the speed of a regular computer, it's the fact that it's a regular computer. Simulation of a nuclear explosion is a process that is best served by a quantum computer, and no electromagnetic computer technology can approach the usefulness of a quantumn computer in this arena. While electromagnetic computers follow an exponential trend of increasing performance, quantumn computers double their performance each time a single atom is added to the device! No electromagnetec computer can approach that level of performance and capability.
Mattel still retains a majority share in the company they sold CyberPatrol to. Also expect nothing to change, because you can't sell a program and not the team that built it. The new company gets the team and all, which means the same stupid decisions about CPHack, etc. Mattel execs didn't dictate that - the local management did, and that stays the same.
On the plus side, it might clear Mattel's name enough for all you people to not feel guilty about buying Myst (III|3D|Forever|Another Rehash|.*)
Good god, slashdot ate my comment! Let's try this again (not exactly the same):
In an effort to continue to appeal to the younger set (<12 yrs old), Star Wars will continue to get dumber and dumber. Trying to appeal to the kids will always ruin a movie series that at one time appealed to adults - just look at what happened to Back to the Future between episodes II and III.
Oracle Corporation acknowledged today that it had hired a prominent Washington detective firm to investigate groups sympathetic to its archrival, the Microsoft Corporation, an effort that yielded documents embarrassing to Microsoft in the midst of its antitrust battle with the government.
Joe Republican acknowledged today that it had hired a prominent Washington detective firm to investigate groups sympathetic to its archrival, Bob Democrat, an effort that yielded documents embarrassing to Microsoft in the midst of his relection campaign.
Sounds just like politics to me - just cut and replace the names!
One special feature of a BXXP connection is it can carry multiple simultaneous exchanges of data - called channels - between users. For example, users can chat and transfer files at the same time from one application that employs a network connection.
We have it right there - finally, a TCP/IP protocol that replaces TCP/IP! What'll they think of next? Maybe the next advance in computing technology will be emulating a 386 in my shiny Pentium III?
Replacing HTTP is a stupid thing to do because any "replacement" isn't a replacement for HTTP at all - it's a replacement for everything. HTTP does what it needs to do (and then some):
It sends documents of any type.
It deals with mime-types of those documents.
If you're using a proxy, it'll even get files over FTP.
Why would we use a chat protocol (or one that can do chat) to do file transfers (which is what HTTP is all about)? Seems to me, it's trying to replace all of TCP/IP and all established protocols. We already have seperate protocols (IRC, FTP, TFTP, HTTP, RA, etc.) so why do we need what amounts to an XML wrapper around them? Someone obviously is spending too much time trying to reinvent the wheel - all because they like the sound of the letters XML - the sound of the almighty Venture Capital and Media Buzz.
The "hardware implementation" of those is a general-purpose processor. It would take a general purpose processor to compute those ideas, so what's the point? Why not just ask everybody to buy an SMP system and fork() off a seperate process to handle collision dection and physics? Your suggestion is stupid.

On an on-topic note, mmm, Natalie Portman...
