Yes Microsoft has never developed any software in house. All their software has been bought and then re-branded. The only software that was possibly made in house was the early version of the crappy basic compiler that was included with DOS and the only reason Bill Gates was successful was because he totally ruthless in business.
No it is criticized because It was designed without any regards to any kind of OSI model of networking architecture. When you design a network protocol you are not supposed to have the application send routing information in the application layer.
This VIPRE program is pure crap. It simply scans for "c:\windows\sl" folder and if found assumes it is a keylogger. The developers of this program should be taken outside and shoot, this is NOT how you design a security software. I would not recommend anyone to ever use any software from these morons.
What? You are totally missing the point. Nobody is forcing you to misplace your keys.
What if it wasn't a friend but a child instead?
I don't like drunk drivers any more than you do, but taking away everyones freedom is not the right thing to do.
No there are various emergency's that could happen, for example being burgled, chased by a murderer, chased by a violent spouse, and all kind of accidents that could happen.
So you are in your cabin in the woods with your friend and you both have had a few beers, your friend manages to cut himself badly, there is no phone so you decide to drive him to the nearest hospital, but oh no your car won't allow you to drive, too bad your friend dies.
Well they did manage to convict pirate bay even though what they did wasn't illegal under Swedish law. Having information about a file does not equal sharing those files. Those who share the files are the one's who should have been prosecuted.
What they named their site or how they ridiculed DCMA requests doesn't have any bearing on breaking any laws.
What you are saying is that standing on a street corner and giving out information to anybody (including police) where the drug dealers are located is equivalent to having and selling the drugs themselves.
Well it seems you have a lot of faith in your legal system, which I have not given the Pirate Bay case, and remember laws can be changed at any time to suit those in power. I am afraid that Assange will be extradited on some technical loophole in the law, most likely he will be labeled a terrorist by USA and then the equivalent Swedish law will apply. The USA can then make whatever promises it likes to a fair treatment, and then do whatever they feel like. Remember that Obama promised to shutdown gitmo, but then broke his promise. It's not like the USA gives people the opportunity of getting a fair trial. Just like in gitmo he can be sentenced to prison for life without a trial or jury.
How can you be sure about that? If he gets extracted to Sweden I am sure Sweden will extract him to USA. If you have been following how the Swedish courts are handling the Pirate Bay case it shows that the Swedish courts are easily influenced by big companies in USA. So I am pretty sure that the USA government can have some influence in how the Swedish courts should handle that matter.
Not in Sweden, if you lie about using a condom, there is a possibility to be extracted to USA and spending the rest of your life in Guantanamo without any trial or jury. That is if you name is Julian Assange.
Yes it seems to me that the creators of IPv6 either intentionally made the upgrade path unnecessary hard for whatever reason or they were complete idiots.
It's older than 2009, so it was only MD5 which is easy to crack. The password was composed of random letters so I don't think it could have been mass cracked by brute forcing Gmail.
No the spam was being sent from my account to all contacts in my address book. You can see Last account activity in Gmail which reveals which IP addresses has accessed your account recently.
Because the IP used for the hack originated from China and the spam was advertising some chinese scam site where the bank account for the payments was a chinese bank.
The day before this was noticed my Gmail account was hacked by Chinese spammers and I know I used the same password there. So I am skeptical about the claims that no one had downloaded this file. The email only says when they noticed the problem, but doesn't specify how long the file was available before that. It could have been available for a long time.
The problem is that Paypal is a bank and bank have to follows certain regulations, even though they currently bypass the laws about the definition of a bank. How would you feel if your bank could simply steal your money from your bank account and provide no reason for doing so, just like Paypal is currently doing to some of it customers?
Paypal is a bank and as such they are not like any private business.
Iceland Telecom (Siminn) is among the world’s first operators to run a commercial field trial of Ericsson’s communications portal iPulse – an intelligent, IP-based application, simplifying and making communications more convenient for users.
With iPulse which is jointly developed with OZ.COM, Iceland Telecom will be able to offer its subscribers an application that instantly and easily connects users to each other by mobile phone, pager, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), home phone or computer using a simple point-and-click contact menu. With a click of an icon, users can create profiles that indicate when, by whom and how, they want to be reached so they have the most efficient communication methods across multiple networks and multiple devices.
Where is the problem here? Just because Oracle programmers don't know how to handle time there is no need to abandon the leap second. What is needed are better programmers that have better education and actually know how to program.
I am very disappointed that Mozilla is only interested in changing the user interface for new versions. Current Firefox is very slow and is getting slower in every new version. They should focus on making it blindingly fast before even considering more UI changes. The start up times for Firefox are excruciatingly slow, for some stupid reason Firefox seems to enumerate all the files in your temp directory! The user interface is also very slow on slow networks, the concept of threads seems to be an alien concept to the developers.
What? Adding Theora is more effort? It's an open source format, you can just download the source or the reference library implementation and integrate it with your code. Are you telling me that this is too complex for the Microsoft programmers? No this is simply a ploy to lock out any open video formats.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you serious? You do realize that people in different countries actually use different formats for dates?

I can also predict a winner in the final with 50% accuracy using my new simulation called the "coin".

The reason Skype works, is that it uses a nonstandard NAT hack called UDP hole punching.
