Agree 100%, I have 3x 27" 2560 x 1440 (combined resolution 7680 x 4320), the center one is rotated 90 deg for coding. Right one is main display / web pages, the left screen is free for 3rd IDE, or a Remote desktop to a server, it allows the RDP to run full screen.
It was patched to 4.2.2 in October, 4.2.1 had serious issues, even with 4.2.2 there have been 2 security announcements to remove vulnerable files (which are not needed to run the forum).
The NSA will achieve the opposite for the USA, not more security but less, with the rest of the world now keen to do their own thing, the NSA are a loose cannon on a rolling ship.
Perhaps tax avoidance is not illegal, however these companies are so efficient at gaming the system, there is a tidal wave of public opinion forming against them, and regulation like this Italian one is going to hit these big companies hard, serves them right (that the final outcome will be much worse for them than if they have not tried so hard).
The article states it will map 1% of our Milky Way, and there are 170 billion Galaxies in the universe, so that is:
0.0000000000005% mapping of the known universe (if my figures are correct).
And how can you know? traditionally spying ran the risk of getting caught because bugging equipment was found in a given phone device, now the bugging is everyone and the data just happens to sit in NSA data centers, every access to that data is logged? I am sure...if it was they would know exactly what Snowden took.
Would it keep a government agency from brute-forcing on a super computer? no, but remember most password hacks are on websites, such as facebook, and these attacks go for the lowest hanging fruit (dictionary words and stupid combinations 987654321a).
The real problem is with sites which allow brute forcing, I had an old skype account, which had the password brute forced (last year), lesson learnt for me about using a dictionary word followed by numbers, now for semi important stuff, like Skype I use a password which has a common element (including symbols) and the site name in the password, this ensures the stored hash is unique to that site.
The other day I had a customer (my company sells software applications), send a scan of their passport to our support email, it was a surprise to us as we never request such documentation. The email he was responding to was from a non-existent address on our domain, when it bounced back to him, he found a working address and sent. The email which he responded to, looked just like one of our emails, but with extra paragraphs inserted, saying for security reasons photo ID was required. It was obvious that his email account was compromised (or servers would never send this email with extra information entered, unless they reprogrammed our backend software), and the attacker was reading all his email (inbox), that document would be read when bounced from our servers. This was a individually targeted attack on that individual (traced to Pakistan - as the attacker clicked on the software download link and was logged), it is scary the length this attack went to to get his passport scan.
One excerpt - Level 4: Deliberately posed pictures of children fully clothed, partially clothed or naked (where the amount, context and organisation suggests sexual interest).
A girl in a pink fairy costume, could be ordinary in a family environment (as ordinary as a boy dressed as Superman), could be of great sexual interest to a pedophile.
Events have been recorded since cavemen, in pictorial form, there is a human desire to document events, with modern technology it is easy and high quality, yet these fools put us back into the stone-age in the name of protecting children.
Exactly, a picture of a child dancing in a leotard is not child abuse, except for when it is found on a pedophiles computer, then it is classed as such. That creates the problem because stigmatizes normal images of children and yes I class a photo of a child wearing a swimming costume or dance costume as normal, should I feel odd taking a photo of my child on a beach? a mother would not, but as a man I am open to suspicion.
Yes there were, outside of the dance hall at the entrance taking photos on a white background. I can do that at home (stood next to a white wall), instead I would have liked a photo of the actual dancing, in the event, during the moment.
So a 4 year old will remember this when looking back 20 years? and I am sure I would not remember it in another 30 years, a photograph would jog the memory though.
Fair enough, child abuse is universally against the law (unless there are a few countries without such laws on their statue), but by the same token murder is illegal the whole world over, and I do not see Google bringing up an "Illegal search" page if you were to type "how to murder someone", perhaps it will do one day...
Yesterday I was not allowed to take a single photograph of my daughter who was in a dance competition, to quote "in case it ends up on the internet". This memory (dance competition) will be lost now, because it was not recorded. There was even an announcement, make sure all Phones and iPads are kept in your pocket / bag, something seems very wrong with this endless search for the boogeyman.
It is known that certain forms of alcohol (real ale, Wine) have anti cancer elements, drinking moderately extends life. With all this removed you are just left with the drug.
Perhaps the one which reverses the effect of being drunk has more promise (ready to drive home), but again if abused, as I am sure it would be, the kidneys still have to work, if the person is able to drink more it is perhaps less healthy.

acq = acquisition?
It is all a lie
And Intel have the advantage there.

and Time are the biggest cowards going...naming the Pope (I have nothing against the Pope, just that I see Snowden has done so much more last year).

The EU is right on this one...
They really mean "undermines our companies bottom line".
Google is happy to collect all the information it can get its hands on (and get away with), I am sure the others are equally as complicit.

You must watch out for the oil slick which is ignited when the robot flies (jeez, sacrilege)
I was already out gunned by being only one of 3 men there (out of 200 women), I got out and I am here to tell the tale ;)
Here is the COPINE scale for images in the UK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COPINE_scale
One excerpt - Level 4: Deliberately posed pictures of children fully clothed, partially clothed or naked (where the amount, context and organisation suggests sexual interest).
A girl in a pink fairy costume, could be ordinary in a family environment (as ordinary as a boy dressed as Superman), could be of great sexual interest to a pedophile.
They banned video also, no flashes on video. Or they could say, no flashes, not like a flash is of any use at 20 meters across a hall.

Seems the workers were not happy.
> the Iraq War took out one of the world's most evil tyrants
I am sure I saw George Bush on the news last week, alive and well...
>and removed a shit ton of weapons of mass destruction from the world
the US military would have restocked all the weapons of mass destruction ** used in Iraq by now.
** the Boston bomber was charged with having a weapon of mass destruction, so anything pressure cooker size and up must be one
