Saying that its ok if the shallow water corals die because we still have the deep water coral shows you have no understanding of the role of coral reefs. Its like saying its ok if all the evergreens die because I still have an aluminum christmas tree in the garage.
Coastal flooding is the least of our problems if global warming gets out of control. The real kick in the balls would be changing weather patterns fucking over our agricultural industry.
If you read the press releases from when they started building nukes they promised that electricity would be so cheap they might just get rid of meters. That hasn't quite worked out. Turns out they were right about nukes being cleaner than coal, but try to tell that to people who live near Fukushima.
This just in: real world a lot harder than school.
Gee, thanks Slashdot!
The reason is pretty obvious. The 25-line program you write for a school assignment is not the same as the 5000 lines you are writing to implement a set of vague business requirements.
Imagine the custody battle after the divorce. Does each parent get the children that look like themself? Do you want to raise a child that is a clone of your EX? Wow.
If it was ever previously hibernated, there might still be a recoverable hibernation fle. So even if the computer was powered off there's no guarantee this hack still won't work. The problem is allowing keys to stay in memory and not properly overwrite them when no longer needed.
I expect the first use will be rich people who are either childless or don't like their kids. They'll be cloning themselves. It will make some interesting legal battles.
It's called "lip service". Obama was pro-wiretap in the Senate, and has done nothing that indicates he has changed his position on increased government surveillance. What worries me is SAR "Suspicious Activity Reporting". Can you imagine what your life will be like once some unknown person has gotten a report into this database on you? Do you think there will be any mechanism for ever removing it?
i read the article and 12 companies are fronting the money for this with the ownership split between 2 holding companies
apple, google, facebook, and others are the ones buying up the patents. IV and RPX are just the holding companies to avoid bad publicity about licensing terms
IngDirect (now Capital One) uses a virtual pinpad as the standard means of accessing your account.

You click on each digit of your PIN after entering (or pulling down from the history on registered computers) your customer number. You can not type them. You must click them.
This is a security feature to prevent a keylogger from capturing your PIN. After all, what software would be stupid enough to pass your mouse coordinates and button presses to untrusted javascript?
Now suppose Evildude buys an ad that pops up when someone searches on IngDirect. Many people never type in the address bar. They use search to find the site they want to go to. Now you have your exploit and a pretty good correlation with the IngDirect site. Bingo.
It's funny you mention that, because in a competitive capitalist market price approaches cost. Therefore, people get that lowest price for their labor and do not need to steal as much. In non-capitalist systems, where prices are elevated, people DO have to use unethical means to get food ( for example, in Soviet Russia, hoarding, sneaking, stealing food etc etc)
Incorrect. This is only true in free markets. In markets where cartels and price fixing are allowed, and information about pricing can be hidden, then prices can be artificially held well above cost.

I usually add a definition of "TLA" just to see who's paying attention.

The real battles will be in trusts and estates.
Listing the meaning of every acronym, no matter how well known, that's my favorite part of document reviews.
Coding standards save the hundreds of hours of somebody else going through your code and re-indenting it all so that you can't diff it any more.

Michael Keaton already did this.

Unless you're a single parent, just have sex. Good way to create a new offsprint, no? :-)
Hey, new word:
Offsprint (n) - Offspring created through cloning.

I have two sons and the Lego scars on the bottoms of my feet to prove it.
Sweet! I yam liking your jokes already.

FTFY
Could you please just stick to car analogies?
At least for Adobe.
'It's not clear that (police) are going to be able to extract any information or not.'
Actually, it's 100% certain that they will, or will not, extract any information. There is no third option.
Until we have quantum computers...
The suppression of free speech is a pre-fascist act. The remedy for offensive speech is more speech.
I hope somebody goes to jail for this.
Whose speech is being suppressed? Anonymous hasn't stopped WBC from saying anything.
Ah. The old PDP-8 with paper tape reader. Now that takes me back.
You mean like being wanted for questioning in a murder?
At least for people who aren't billionaires.
Roger. Over.
