You assume that most people care about your privacy and security issues and just don't know any better. You're wrong. They don't care. Many will mouth politically-correct platitudes and make indignat noises, but when it comes to actually doing anything they realize that to them it just doesn't matter. And as only they know what matters to them, that's fine. You don't have to have a Facebook account if you don't want to: why get all worked up because others do?
BTW what evil thing is it that the CORPORATIONS!!1!! are going to do with your secret birthdate that you published in your profile?
> And exactly how did 11% of them get cleaned up over the last month?
What makes you think they did? You don't imagine that these guys know or care anything about statistics, do you? All we can clonclude from this is that lots of computers are infected.
What we do know is that pure (or basic) research often enable progress in more practical oriented research.
Nuclear weapons, to be exact. Science brought politicians the bomb. They've been throwing money at physics ever since in hopes of something even better.
I think that the number of hosts vulnerable to being turned into bots is what matters, not the number of users. A large fraction (maybe a majority) of China's users work from internet cafe so there are likely to be many users per host.
But once you start looking at the position as something you can get out of a trade school, the position is no longer FLSA-exempt, and you gotta pay them overtime.
FLSA exemption has nothing to do with type of education. It depends on type and amount of pay and duties.
What theory might that be? I was merely asking if your generated ionospheric field would replace the planetary field as a shield for the atmosphere, not proposing any theory.
Coriolis force. As dense matter settles toward the core it will carry angular momentum along. This implies that the magnetic field is ultimately driven by differentiation.

There. I said it. The USA DMCA is not entirely evil.
...even if you left out "IPv6-certified".

So that's how many hundred million bots?
> There is a bias in the sampling.
Sure, but it is well-understood and so can be compensated for.

Whoosh.
And they are "saved"? wow. whoopee.
That's right! Believe that! Tell all your "non-techie" friends!
Maybe September isn't eternal after all...

Spamassassin.
From the article:
Note that "one-fifth". Lots of bots here but more in the rest of the world. They are managed mostly from Russia, of course.
FLSA exemption has nothing to do with type of education. It depends on type and amount of pay and duties.
Not university graduates.
Because of course without Jobs and Apple the world would be utterly bereft of "innovation".
It fails to list my provider while erroneously showing one that does not serve my area.
We already have this. It's called a botnet.
Rumor has it that USB keys were scattered in the parking lots.

Each implies the other.
You might want to look up the word ferroelectric. I will say nothing about your analogy.
But is the atmosphere shielded from erosion by the solar wind?
Coriolis force. As dense matter settles toward the core it will carry angular momentum along. This implies that the magnetic field is ultimately driven by differentiation.
That would be called jury tampering were the defense to do it.
