The 500 investor rules are not a requirement to be publically traded. A company can have 5000 investors and be traded on the private market.
The issue is with 500 investors the company must file 10K and 10Q reports to the SEC in either GAAP or IFSR format and have them audited by an outside party as if they were a publically traded company. It's the reporting that Facebook is trying to avoid; why they're trying to avoid it I have no idea.
The 500 limit also applies only to Facebook and not to the investment vehicle.
My guess is when it's all declassified in 100 years or so we'll find out it was actually created out of different virus cross breeding and the Internet has been alive this entire time. Yea, I'll be shocked too.
They're not going to ban WiFi. The airlines make too much money from it and will raise a storm if it goes away. The airlines only have a certian level of tolerance for these things, especially if it costs them money and inconviences business travellers.
The TSA is however quite effective. It's one of the more creative, pervasive, improve theatre groups that ever put to the non-traditional stage.
Except in Korea you must register for all accounts using your Resident registration number. I mean everything: ISPs, bank sites, WoW, blog comments, etc. As such it's fairly easy to track people down since there is no concept of anonymity on the South Korean Internet. As such all they need to do to block you is put your RRN on the black list and you won't be able to get access again.
The Korean authorities also been known to track people down who say critical things about them using this ID as well and make things difficult.
Except both of those profs make a divide by zero error which means anything after that point is just gibberish. They look like they're right, but hides a mistake because the use variables.
Just because something is written down on paper as a "proof" doesn't make it actually true. If so we'd all be wearing tin foil hats by now.
It's not an error or misconfiguration, you don't have the.mil CA in your trusted CAs. The DOD runs it's own CA because they're pushing PKI for everything and don't want to have to pay another CA for each and every cert issues.
The no-USB media is not a NMCI rule but a DISA rule that is enforced by NMCI at the direction of DON CIO.
Once the current NMCI contract ends (it built as a contractor owned\contractor operated system) and it's converted into two separate government owned systems (Navy owned\contractor operated system and a Marine Corp owned\Marine Corp operated system) the rules against installing whatever software you want and the USB restriction rules will still be in place. The USB rule because it's DOD policy and the software installation rule, in that it's too expensive, too difficult to secure, and too hard to provide a enterprise wide system without some sort of control over what is allowed to be running on the system that is the size of the Navy or Marine Corp.
Because most Symbian phones are marketed under the name of the producing companies (like Samsung or Nokia) and not with the Symbian name most people are under the impression that the company died a long time ago.
It's also not a very popular phone in the US\Canada market since Blackberry and Apple fit as a the market leaders in the smartphone space. Means people in the US rarely hear about it.
It only adds liquidity and depth when you don't need it, and makes the market more illiquid when you need extra liquidity. (The HFTs will all pull out when there is a market lockup and make the situtation even worse since it's hard to skim pennies in situations where there is general falling across the board. Since they pull out the price drop accelerates, see the May 6, 2010 drop of 1014 points in a matter of minutes when all the HFT pulled out for an example of this.)
There is no justification for it over normal trading except to skim pennies from normal buyers and sellers of stocks. Computerization allows for more refined pricing and faster trading. That doesn't mean you want it to run wild.
A friend of mine has am iMac from 2001 running the latest OSX
No, you are incorrect. If it was an iMac bought in 2001 it was at best a G3 based iMac. The current version of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, only runs on Intel Mac (and it wouldn't run the version before that Leopard since it reqires at least a G4 PowerPC Processor).
Most of what you say is bunk otherwise. Security models on all major general purpose operating systems have well thoughtout security models, but they all suffer from implementation issues (and general incomptent configuration issues). Window's issues tend to be more well known since they have the largest installed base by far and as such tend to be the largest target.
Short of closed systems with only pre-installed software that can be mathmatically checked before deployment you're not going to get to a perfect future world. You'll also never be able to afford any of these computers you're proposing or for that matter really want to buy them.
It's actually the movie studios forcing this and not Netflix. Netflix and RedBox signed the "deal" because they were pretty much forced to or have no access to movies sold on the bulk market.
Yea only if you don't count RIM, Google, Symbian, Microsoft and Palm as something other than smartphones.
Apple has about 15% of the entire smartphone market. Yea, they get all the glowing press from the media, but getting press doesn't make you a monopolist. They're hardly a dominate in the smartphone market, but one of many healthly participants.
They're using the virus to bring together the components and then using sunlight to power the split and the biological components. It's like photosynthsis with H20 instead of CO2. Kind of novel, but who knows if it'll work on an industrial scale. It's just a lab experiment for now.
Competent CPU designers, yes. It's the only reason Itanium has lasted this long. Intel's solo early designs were less than successful. HP designer came in redid the whole thing and lo-and-behold it worked. HP really needs Intel to fab the chip, not design it.
Non-competes are only valid in California if the company which holds the non-compete pays competitive salary during the non-compete time (basicly pay them to not work). Since most companies don't do that, they just say you cannot work for the competitors because they say so, most will be thrown out when challenged in court.
Without knowing their contract\non-compete it would be difficult to say whether it's void or not.
Even if Activision was bought by Vivendi it's which leadership is in charge after the merger. In this case Vivendi games leadership was replaced by Activisions so even though it was "bought", Activision effectively "took over" Vivendi's gaming division. It happens quite often really when the parent conglomerate likes how the bought company does business more than the already aquired company does business.
California also requires all time over 80 hours in a two week period to be paid at 1.5 times normal rate. Even if the employee is exempt and salaried. As Intel found out in 2002 and IBM found out in 2006, the courts don't look too kindly on a company playing like they didn't know.
My guess is that they're not paying overtime like they should.

There was some decent evidence that it was actually a Chinese-Finnish operation

It's a newspaper dedicated to covering Congress from insider point of view.
The article in question is here.

You always have channels, whether you use them for voice or data is up to you.
The issue will be that it's not currently economically feasible to run an all data cell network since the money is currently in voice.
Don't know if that'll change in the future especially with Clearwire and Sprint's deployment of WiMAX, but right now what you want doesn't exist.

The Nokia smartphone OS. Been around since about 1986 in various forms.
Symbian devices are rarely marketed as such and usually just sold as a "smartphone".
Because most Symbian phones are marketed under the name of the producing companies (like Samsung or Nokia) and not with the Symbian name most people are under the impression that the company died a long time ago.
It's also not a very popular phone in the US\Canada market since Blackberry and Apple fit as a the market leaders in the smartphone space. Means people in the US rarely hear about it.
To be honest it isn't clear in the story either. The article talks almost exclusively about the TSA and their use of scanners.
The TSA (part of DHS) says their not recording images of people entering the airport, but the US Marshalls (part of DoJ) are.
So folks are suing the TSA? It seems to me that you'd actually want to sue the US Marshalls instead.

A "naked" single protons is always a hydrogen atom regardless of the presence or lack there of of an electron.
They're quite electrically unstable and will bind to just about anything with a free electron or two to spare. Not just other hydrogen molocules.
They're using the virus to bring together the components and then using sunlight to power the split and the biological components. It's like photosynthsis with H20 instead of CO2. Kind of novel, but who knows if it'll work on an industrial scale. It's just a lab experiment for now.

5 won't happen for the same reason as 3.
It looks like an active attack probably from one source with a number of controlled bots helping out.
The packets from every country at once are probably spoofs sender IP addresses from one or more sources (probably the spike countries).
The spiked country traffic are probably the controlled bots attacking the host actively.
Without seeing the actual packet data it's just a guess though.
California also requires all time over 80 hours in a two week period to be paid at 1.5 times normal rate. Even if the employee is exempt and salaried. As Intel found out in 2002 and IBM found out in 2006, the courts don't look too kindly on a company playing like they didn't know.
