Law of what country? Norton installs it even if you are outside USA? And what about other vendors? All US-based ones should have that backdoor?
How you can ever trust in windows security if even the security programs must have backdoors? How many time we should we wait till seeing malware taking advantage of all those backdoors to go around hidden from security programs?
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request....
Ewww... i tought that i was prepared for any rudeness and strong language, but this? Slashdot should start putting stronger warnings in the articles, things like this could have adverse effects for the rest of your life.
You don't need Google for that. Microsoft has been more than capable so far to dig its own grave, and a big chunk of lobbying is was kept them out of it several times. Obama policies against lobbies is what will do the biggest damage.
Google is not exactly hostile to well-behaved competition. They helped Yahoo when they started to have troubles (and yahoo is the company that matches most of google services since the start), and didnt stop helping Firefox after releasing Chrome. And don't think they are in very bad relations with IBM, Sun or other big players on the field. But Microsoft... well, is Microsoft.
Predicting (in scientific/math terms, at least) how people will behave dont work if all the people is aware of those predictions. Is like those paradoxes where you mix metalanguage with language, you can't be both the one that do the predictions and the one that behave as if not knowing them... the alternative is not Doc Brown's end of the universe, but the loop must be broken somewhat and bad things happens.
In Foundation the problem was solved creating a Second Foundation, separating the "predictors" from the rest.
But in markets, having something that predicts what will happen is like having a weapon, and everyone will want to have it. And in that arms race, when enough people have it, all lose.
Can't be given to corporations? I know that RIAA is doing the "shoot yourself in the foot" task, but have to do it in each toe first? Whats next? Suing Obama?
I'm pretty sure that stupid/careless employees can leak sensitive information through P2P on any OS. I'm not aware that any of the OSX/nix installs search any less widely for shared folders than the Windows versions.
Dont remember any p2p program for linux that shares by default the home dir, much less the Documents folder (when is there, anyway). Sharing the Documents folder or the user dir could look reasonable in windows world (where you dont have practically everything that matters in that dir). but in *nix is a big enough security hole to not include that default behaviour in p2p programs.
Stupidity is definitely OS-independent.
Some vulnerabilities make you think that choosing certain OSs could be a symptom of stupidity, specially if you have so very sensitive information in an internet connected pc.
But maybe wasnt entirely the pc owner fault. Could a trojan/botnet there have been used to extract that information and then, well, some botnets/trojans use p2p networks to spread/communicate or the botnet owner found that file and published it?
In 3 years will be 2012... I'd call it a hit. At least this time will be no one left to check if Microsoft this time said the truth or just released vaporware as usual.
Either by cost, value, or reference, all versions of windows were overpaid by consumers... what about returning those overpayments? Probably that will put around enough cash to end the current world economy problems, as a bonus.
Not all SSDs are equal. Why you should pay US$400 for the Intel X25-M if you can get another for under US$100? Check this AnandTech review, that spent a lot of time bashing JMicron JMF602 based SSDs.
said once to a king "there is no royal road to geometry". The nature of some things is in fact complex and there is no easy and accurate at the same time way to represent that.
Is a science or religion goal that the universe is made in such way that should be easy to explain it to humans?
They don't trade anything illegal, just say that someone maybe does it and provide some means for contacting him.
But there are cases and cases. The phone directory (or yellow pages) gives the phone (and the address) of people that could do something illegal. Could be blamed for it? What if someone publish a list of drug sellers phone numbers in your area? Or hitmen?
Also could be seen like if you provide means to commit a crime, you are responsible. If you have a newspaper, publish that someone won the lotto, and then someone else kill him, you will be responsible? What about weapon makers?
One thing is to prove than a theoretical particle exist, and another to give the world a new (and somewhat clean) source of energy and/or world peace, all humanity together... well, at least if the resulting black hole is stable enough.
Don't care... after the drug strips the emotional content of the memory of having suffering all of those side effects, it will just dont matter anymore.
At last made sense the advertising that Windows 7 is more secure. You just need to open at first browser, IM, and music player and your PC is safe from virus, trojans, spyware, botnets, etc.
Some of the eye candy is actually useful, not just playing with graphics. Wobby windows or windows that dissapear in flames maybe not, but graduable transparency, see the live content of a window when you are switching to it, or see what is running in all virtual desktops are useful in general. If well im using in my main desktop is KDE 4.2, in other where i have to monitor some windows i use gnome+compiz mainly because the shelf plugin enables to put them like icons on the desktop.
That only say that one performed better than the other in a very limited set of tests. Not say exactly that one is better than the other (if so, maybe KolibriOS could wipe badly both of them in most of those benchmarks).
"Better" is another thing, and depend on more criteria, like included or available software, security, user friendliness or things like that, and there ubuntu could have the lead or not (and all of those could be very subjective).
But if you can run something in any of them, and need extreme performance, that testing really worth something.

1) RIAA
2) SCO
3) Microsoft
4) Banks?
When you see it with their cell phones, sometimes it suddently display a text with that background. Is like magic!
Too bad that text starts saying "A problem has been detected and Window has been shut down"
Good: Steve Jobs will be back on June
Bad: (American) Jobs won't
For what i saw in safari site, the functionality is pretty similar to Opera builtin Speed Dial and Firefox's Fast Dial extension.
Is not trivial to innovate over what Opera do since years ago, at least in the meaningful features.

King Kong defense is basically kidnapping Naomi Watts, and go to the last floor of the Empire State. Bring parachutes to the party.
Chewbacca's is a hairy one. All you say sounds good, but have no sense. Still people will think it should mean something.
Both defenses implies lots of hair and strenght, but if you are big enough you get the girl, at least for a while.

In the math for Windows TCO, how much you pay to get it, is included "Your computer"?
can suppress the emotional part of a fearful memory
What about supressing the emotional part of an intense, but not exactly fearful memory? There wasn't cure for love... till now?
Don't care... after the drug strips the emotional content of the memory of having suffering all of those side effects, it will just dont matter anymore.
probably the biggest proof that Slashdot has become sentient is that is willing to suicide self before seeing again another batch of Idle videos.
