MS is most likely readying itself to attack customers on non-Windows platforms.
They are basically saying I'm suing your customers, and you can't stop me. Try to sue mine, but I'll stop you 'cause I already secured all those IP rights with Sun Microsystems and all.
Mwaaah... MWAAAAAH...
Maybe, just maybe, we should not give those guys any free publicity... Wouldn't this actually be a good news to skip and left untold?
We don't really want to boost the ego of those jacks, do we?
And hopefully, Taco won't repost the same story in a few days...

Who's going to run the betting pool on how many minutes it takes someone to crack the keys and modify the information?
Please go ahead. Here is their public key:

Since I am a nice guy, I'll give you the first two hints to get you started. They use RSA. And their key length is 2048.
Now, you can try to brute-force RSA to find their private key...
See you back when Quantum Computers are sold at Wallmart:)
Java invented the dynamic analysis and handling of stack traces, not just exceptions.
If you are into dynamic analysis and recovery of exceptions -- that is, self-healing software --, that is a very powerful tool.
Worse, imagine them trying to geolocate IP addresses and making the database freely available. Now, they can not only track what you do in crowds but also what you do when you leave the crowds and get in an Internet cafe.
Excuse me, but how are you supposed to write or call your Prime Minister?
It's not simply the Parliament and its elected MEPs that we are talking about here.
The world does not stop at the edge of the 48 contiguous states. For people with contacts in Alaska, Hawai, Canada, Mexico and on other continents, Skype is a blessing.
Unless you know of a $50 month calling plan for unlimited international calls?
Come on, people, relax. The above comment (#8433108) is obviously a Troll.
It is very well crafted, but it does show all the characteritics of a Troll. Honest tone, but inflamatory arguments. Personal testimony (supposedly), but anonymous post. 'Insightful' opinions, but lack of touch with the actual matter etc...
Based on a reading of the article, [some ill-informed comments]...
Obviously, neither you, nor the moderators who gave you +1 Insightful speak French.
The article says that the French justice has ordered Mandrake to drop their company name and domain names. Mandrake is fighting the decision in a higher Court.

It's also 39% of an inch ... but everybody knows that.
Have the ceremony at 1 PM for good measure... 1/23/4/5

Or maybe I am being over-paranoid.

- the driver was not drunk;
- he actually called the police while driving at 200 Km/h to ask for help;
- he had not been ticketed before the call or caught by any police radar that would have made him want to pull that stunt to cover his speeding excess;
- he eventually managed to disconnect controls to the car so that it finally and slowly cruised to a stop on the emergency lane.
Yes, the driver might still be lying about the all thing, but, if so, it was not to cover any known misdoing. On the contrary.On a side note, 328,000 ft are equivallent to 100 km.

Now, that's freaky.
Or is it?
It could well be that their real-time dynamic counter took them down. How ironic.
And the jackal moved my seat. I really hate Valet.
I would have gladly paid 25 cents for 10 minutes just to avoid Valet.
I know first hand, I have one.
Here is the firmware for it.

And you probably need to reread his post or at least spend a good amount of time reading elaborate jokes.
I have been running Firetoad (and sometimes Firemussel) for 3-4 weeks now.
The plugin was actually released the same day as 0.8.
Just change the Windows decoration and theme. If you got for -- say -- a green theme, than a blue popup will look suspicious.
That's - if I may - is a very nice article. It's a little too heavy on the hyphens - if you see what I mean.
A dash annoying - I would say.
Hey! I resent that!

Actually, the question -- or the worry -- is more around how to prevent somebody from forking Java and kill the "Write Once, Run Everywhere" idiom.
Wasn't that ctwm?
