    obl didn't commit a *crime*, he commited an act of war. and when people commit acts of war we land 2 dozen seals in the yard and put bullets in brains.

    The self evident name will be "electronic mail" or some variation in any English speaking country

    that's the rub, isn't it... it's likely that some variation of e-mail would have been coined in any case, but this dude *did* coin the term "e-mail". Thus he can say that he coined e-mail.

    Remember the famous edison quote: "anybody, peering back into history, can claim an invention is self evident. Only the genius sees it as so before it is invented."

    I hate the word "polish" in this context. when you read it you think it's talking about poland. I propose we spell it "pollish" to avoid any confusion. english is a living language!

    umm, let me shoot this down.

    price - you can get an iphone for free (3gs), $100 (iphone 4) or $200 (iphone 4s). how is this more expensive than the spectrum of android systems?

    willingness to pay - as I said above, and the AC above agrees, apple trains developers to write apps that are worth paying for.

    OK, now that I have corrected you, please stop spreading falsehoods. deal?

    did you read teh apple i0s security design document? it talks a lot about "chain of trust" from boot-up through application use. this sounds like what you're talking about. as stephen hawking would say, "it's turtles, all the way down!"

  18. Re:AOD on AMD/ATI Video Drivers: Unsafe At Any Speed · · Score: 5, Informative

    aslr = a way to secure your memory so it's harder for malware to run attacks.
    EMET = a bunch of tools that windows uses to secure the machine. aslr is one of these tools
    bsod = blue screen of death. your computer is frozen
    AMD = a company that was formerly known for making computer chips, but is now in the graphics card business
    ATI = a graphics card manufacturer that AMD bought.
    DEP = another tool in the EMET toolkit.
    cert/cc = an organization that is viewed as an authority on computer stuff.

    in short, AMD drivers suck so much that microsoft has to override its own computer protections to keep AMD from crashing your machine. so the drivers are not just unstable, they make your machine more vulnerable to malware. cert says, "epic fail".

    I think this is valid, especially for large networks. does the computer of a secretary in alabama need the capability to access payroll data in new york city? break the links in the network, so each computer can connect to reasonable resources but not extensive. This contains any rampant issues.

    similarly, payroll transmits data monthly to banks. does the sensitive payroll data need 24x7 online access?
