No, it's about who the enemy is. If the US military was secretly executing civilians en mass for being, say, Black, then they would certainly be the enemy, no?
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies
I dare say that Mr. Manning was only trying to follow his required oaths and spirit of enlistment in expatriating this information. That is, to make known grievances and possible gross violations in servitude of the highest law of the land, as per the foundation of his service.
Except that their antivirus, right now, is a good chunk better than *most* commercial alternatives.
As virus threats are an ongoing and ever-evolving environment, MS would not be able to allow their product to stagnate without ceding ground to ANY alternative out there.
Using an antivirus program is like employing a security guard with Alzheimers.
Fixing the actual hole in your easy-to-break-into vault is genuinely better security, but the guard is still a form of security, even if it's far less technically effective and doesn't address the problem pragmatically.
Or Linux (a native application, I mean). User-friendliness and accessibility wise, Gimp and GPaint and KPaint and similar are just so horrendous in comparison to MSPaint.
That is not to say they're bad programs or anything. But MSPaint just seems to work far better for the "quick and dirty," 7-second simple jobs.
Companies were already attacking them over MSE and several more over VAC (and not because VAC was shit in its initial form, but because it was eliminating a large source of security problems).
It's a good thing that most lines were paid for in triplicate by most urban taxpayers then. Still wondering where that $200 Billion national FTTH fund went.
Except drugs and beatings and coercion via threats regarding family and friends.
Not a guarantee, like you said, but highly doubtful that one would fail.

Uh, languages that lasted a long time and are still in both widespread use and massive prevalence in the industry ARE more impressive.
That doesn't mean that something less impressive, isn't still impressive.
Impressive.

Is there a toolset that makes it as easy for extreme amateurs to throw together their ideas for animations and games in HTML5 like there is for Flash?
Such ease of use and development for, well, non-programmers and animators and similar is one of the larger reasons for its popularity [outside of video sites].
The larger corporate groups will exert their leverage alongside that of the US itself and laws like these will be enacted in most countries, specifically EU countries. Should that not come to pass, than the alternative (which is already under way, to an extent) will be pursued - extraditing or fining people across the pond who violate US internet laws (you can skip due process as well, because they're 'furners).
At the very least, they will (quite easily) get any website on Earth taken offline should they desire it, with probably no real fuss.
The idea that anyone who uses the internet frequently might think they're not going to be horrendously affected by this is pretty funny.
I'm betting the damages are formulated entirely from the cost of them having to do PR (they got hacked by a NEET after all) and 'fix' the security hole (because face it, they'll probably introduce 10 more flaws when fixing one).
You know, the pricing isn't that bad when you realize that said functionality of these patents probably represents around 90% of the functionality of Microsoft's mobile OS'.
The N900 was nice though. Nokia used to be better. They were fostering Qt, after all, and Qt is awesome. This is just...absurdly evil. 90s Microsoft, cartoonish evil. How did they possibly think this was a good idea?
For Notch's response to the "you said, clearly, that we will get any new version of minecraft for free, which thus includes the portable editions" messages.
I mean, an actual response, not just "silly reddit trolls".
Last I heard, the Tea Party wasn't an actual political party, just a bunch of whiners. Something to put on the end of your conservative political resume, not a specific political party you were a member of. I mean, ignoring the fact that it was nothing more than a Republican vassal puppet.
You're right about the GOP, but I can't see it as anything other than an a funny way of saying they're regressive old twats.

How would this have played out if he had directly leaked the cables to the New York Times instead?

Is...is this a bot of some kind?
Or for project managers, code reviewers, clients, basically anyone that needs to ensure a project is completed on time and up to snuff.

Not really. I don't think they've been too successful at stopping CD ripping software and hardware (and hell, the whole concept) from being legal.
You know, the pricing isn't that bad when you realize that said functionality of these patents probably represents around 90% of the functionality of Microsoft's mobile OS'.
There's quite obviously an assload of prior art for them too.

You mean the Windows Server model of security. :)
NetworkWorld/InfoWorld/PCWorld/that whole cabal of sites are just horrible.
Anywho, it's nice to see a relatively big name standing up to bullies.
And lo, Nokia, how far you have fallen.

Other than the ability to charge for updates, of course. :)
