Indeed the problem is the money funneled into corn. This is a foodstuff being turned into fuel. There are better uses for this.. oh like food!
I shudder to think the amount of money lining rich people's pockets on this wasteful redirection of resources. I have always considered cellulosic ethanol a much better avenue for research, as the input could end up being mostly 'by-product' from existing agricultural processes.
Do not assume that your software is running with elevated access... (root/administrator)
Correction: don't assume your software NEEDS to run with elevated privileges.
Ya know that's actually an interesting semantic difference. I think both are true. Much software is written making the blind assumption that it will be in an environment with elevated access (my comment). But with yours (which is also true) some developers just assume that their SW needs it, and they act on that assumption, and then you end up back at situation #1.
Have you ever listened to the WAMC pledge drive.. (geographically near the area of this site)? the number of times they repeat their phone number is the stuff of nightmares.
However according to the article. they asked the court, one presumable to handle the case, to take extraordinary means. As it was approved, one would presume that said court would find that summons service valid. So in short the precedent is 'when it appears that all else will fail, you ask for permission to take extraordinary measures.'
Email is *not* the first action, and would likely be considered invalid as the primary method.
Are you implying that GRUB, which is a bootloader, and whose code is available, is writing in the boot area in an undocumented fashion?
One would presume that a bootloader is supposed to write in the boot area. One is not likely to presume a userland app in a high level OS is writing in the boot area.
If these apps are writing outside the file system, and doing so in an undocumented fashion, is this not; in some sense, a definition of malicious activity?
Exposed to deadly WiFi radiation, young Peter Parker finds himself with all the powers of a wireless network device... and all the problems of a high school student!
Must... route... packets... Gwen Stacy's life... in balance... musn't let Aunt May's Facebook page... go down.... ARGHHH!
Didn't Blizzard argue that loading a game into memory to play is a copy? And then altering it in memory would be a DMCA violation. In order to play a video thats encrypted, you must work on the data, and thus to do so must make a copy of the data off the disk.
Now IMO this 'copying' argument when used this way is retarded... but clearly IANAL
Now if you want to compare to the versions of windows that the default account is hot admin all the time, and can silently install SW by clicking on a web link.. well there ya go.
Keep in mind this none of this has anything to do with userland malware.
The question that comes to my mind, is that if the MPEG-LA wants to torpedo VP8, it would mean putting those patents up to court scrutiny, and potentially getting them revoked in the process.

Ya know, from the laymans POV, this is starting to sound like an illegal monopoly
And nothing will change.....
They charge you for refills of tea (usually). But it would never occur of them to reuse of coffee once its brewed would it?

So one might argue that Sharon Angle is Nightmare on Elm Street?
Are you looking for people to use coerce?
Zero-thought policies are awesome
Or anything other than Windows. So lets see..
Our browser has better GPU acceleration on the OS we make with the APIs we may or may not share with you!
Wake me when they do something clever.

Right on gmaps?
Yeah I'll have to get some open toner, for my open printer, made with the open ABS plastic manufacturing method, made with Open oil
Like those proprietary non free text books that they mandate for courses? Portal is cheap compared to those.
OH BTW, you need a proprietary printing press to print a book too...
Perhaps you want to suggest something else? Presumably you would have already...

Yeah well ya know finding a murderer doesn't make money for podunk sheriff.
User installs X, X is malicious, != insecure OS.

Just imagine what unicode is going to do to the minds of children and all those symbols...

They should be careful what they wish for.
