Of course there are. Apple however does a pretty good job of stopping any disclosure. If their "ignore the man behind the curtain" attitude extends to virii, there won't be any to check against.
Your use of "the internet" is rather open. Does an internet user need to listen for connections from others to be considered as one? Any time a network daemon is listening for connections, it is vulnerable to potential code exploits.
Relying on targets to first connect to you in order to initiate an attack seems overly difficult (even tedious), although it would still be possible.
The act of "jailbreaking" an iPhone is not illegal, unless the _owner_ of the device has agreed to some TOS/EULA disallowing such an act. The responsibility falls on the owner of the device, not any individuals or corporations aiding in a modification.
Using a unlocked phone to circumvent copy protections may be illegal (DMCA), but I don't know of any media where such circumvention would be necessary simply for use on a hacked device. Of course applications may have EULA's or TOS disallowing their use apart from licensing through for example the applications store.
I believe you are correct; in the few cases involving phone jailbreaking, the case was over the intentional disabling of said phones by a network. Intentionally disabling a device for use on other networks is anti-competitive behavior, which is illegal in the US.
Completely wrong, but still correct. Internet radio is implemented as a TCP stream because it doesn't have to be LIVE. TCP does not take into account order of packets, and will resend a packet if it fails the first time.
Machines in question were in fact nowhere near new. Intel's 915 chipset for example (which was one of the chips later allowed under "vista capable") was released all the way back in June of 2004. Even Nvidia's geforce 5-series supports the WDDM (A chip which was released way back in 2002).
Microsoft simply caved due to intel pressure. Why would you run a brand new operating system on hardware that isn't competitive with 4-year-old hardware?
That doesn't change the fact that the i915 chipset has no business running vista anyway. The processor configurations that it supports won't benefit from vista's hardware support, and they aren't generally fast enough to provide an experience similar to windows XP.
I have been dissappointed with other feature drops from the beta to the final release however. Microsoft still has no bluetooth headset support after scrapping their profiles for the vista final.
The car to the left actually has the right of way, seeing as how it is more difficult to see a vehicle on your right, than your left. In the UK, I assume the opposite is true since the drivers side of the vehicle is on the right.
Power consumption is actually one of the areas where intel has been soundly beat, year after year. Even 65nm processors from AMD use less power than Intel's 45nm procs, and Intel doesn't have an on-chip memory controller.
Add in the extra power consumption of an Intel northbridge, and intel's offerings are usually about double the power consumption of a similarly clocked AMD system.
AMD's real problems are in acheiving high clock speeds, and solving their fabrication process. If AMD's 45nm process is as improved as they say it is, and with their fabrication/design company split they should be able to get that side of their business under control.
Of course this is true. The dealers maintain high costs simply to have an effective presentation. Multiple cars to choose from as well as an excellent show room can be worth a large amount to someone easily tricked. Of course once you try to resell the car, none of the advantages of dealer pricing are transferred to the new owner.
There are other considerations as well, you can't choose which color you want from a private seller, since they only have one.
eVGA offers lifetime warranties on all their graphics cards, it's really the only reason to choose their products considering the poor quality and high prices.
As for the 4850, don't hold your breath. Hardly any of the current integrated coolers can handle the heat, and apple doesn't design cases with high-heat graphics cards in mind.
Taiyo Yuden is excellent media, as is most Verbatim media.
To answer a sibling question: no, Taiyo Yuden doesn't make dual layer discs. Verbatim does, but they aren't up to the quality of their single-layer discs.
Quite simply. Maintain a database of registered voters, send the voter registration number with the request to add a vote in the votes database. If the database responds that the registration is legitimate, the voting terminal is allowed to send the candidate. There's a few ways you could mess up this sort of transaction implementationally, but it is possible to do it correctly.
As the description dictates that the votes are still being done at voting centers, the registration verification could be done on-site instead.
It's a moot point anyway. New computers will have eSATA connections built in (my latest motherboard did, and I didn't buy it for that). Sure, most enclosures aren't there yet, but they will be once the need arrives with faster general purpose drives. Since even the fastest most expensive drives now can barely keep up with sata1, sata2 should be ok for some time.
I like the idea of security systems working against their intended purpose. It reminds me of a recent incident at the office/retail complex where I work.
There's a fountain in the middle of a round-about, the intended purpose is to entertain visitors to the resturaunts around it. This fountain had multiple signs worded "Smile, you are being recorded"; a somewhat polite reminder to behave so to speak. Of course, there aren't any places to hide cameras in the nearby buildings, and there are no cameras installed. Someone figured this out, and put soap in the fountain. Now there are no friendly warning signs.
It was surely interesting that the poster of these signs wasn't intelligent enough to figure out that the signs would not deter bad behavior, but did understand after the fact.
Traditional 120-many voltage DC power supplies certaily suffer from lesser efficiency at higher temperatures. Running two 4870s on a single 800w power supply probably isn't a good idea, especially if you have a high-powered CPU to go with them. Most quality power supplies will be rated lower than their maximum output to allow for temperature concerns.
These things said, google uses custom power supplies and systems that only run on 12v. These power supplies may be easier to generate in quality batches, but will still be subject to the same efficiency curves.
Not only that, but microsoft has started banning 360's that have played pre-released titles. If you must play this early make sure you don't connect to xbox live until it's released, even then you could run into trouble.
This is the truth, anyone arguing can talk about semantics but it's just a matter of time before the data can be decrypted. Encryption is great for network security, when someone has limited access to connections, systems and physical access. When someone has access to the hardware it's only a matter of longer wait times, depending on the skill and equipment that the cracker has.
In this sense, it is perfectly logical for individuals who need portable access to the data to be personally and professionally responsible for the data. Physical security is stil the most important and first line of defense.
Using Over and Under Rated on comments that are simply controversial is misuse. Unfortunately the Under and Over rated moderations aren't capable of being meta-moderated, so they do have a lot of opportunity for misuse.
These ratings aren't without their uses however. Occasionally a comment will be moderated as 5-insightful when the poster clearly has no idea what he/she is talking about. Moderating these posts as flamebait and troll is wrong as this poster is trying to help, but simply fails.
The under-rated moderation is harder to justify. While it doesn't count towards karma score, troll and flamebait count against; the only current reason to use under-rated is to counter an "incorrect" negative rating.
Meta-moderation will usually fix controversial comment moderation anyway, and when a moderation is ruled incorrect the negative or positive karma associated with it is erased.
I won't be voting for McCain or Obama, for the record. This whole article is really just a distraction to push people to vote Obama, simply because he isn't on record as being against neutrality.
Actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to voting records I wouldn't trust either of the "big two" cindidates.
Whether or not Obama claims to support net neutrality is not really an issue. He already backed out on his claim to filibuster an attempt to give telecoms immunity in the illegal NSA spying program. He already voted for the immunity bill.
Maybe I'm the only one who sees telecom immunity and net neutrality as mutually exclusive, but Obama has already proven that he thinks us electrical freedom types are a bunch of idiots.

I would consider "polititians and criminals" redundant.
It's becoming increasingly clear that only celebrities and criminals have the right to privacy.

The mainboard has 4 sockets, so does the daughterboard. You're only getting 4 cores per socket as of now.
I'd guess that trolls would have the hardest time deciding between Obama and McCain, they're both such a perfect match.
