I believe that computers such so much when it comes to handling errors (IMHO senseless error messages are just the most obvious point in that) because no model of the software running on a normal pc is exhibited to the OS. Programs and objects, even if you could abstract "macro" states of objects into a kind an state engine, can not exhibit their state in a meaningful way to the OS. If we would make the software more abstract or create ways software exhibits its state to the OS, the OScould provide for things like "rollback to a good application state", "tell at which user opration the error happened" (opposite to "tell which instruction caused an error").
Nowadays the OS may detect something has failed and give you a "wizard" which is seldom more than a help text with the option of running the procedure which just failed again.
Especially because i seriously doubt the sense of breaking a company up. Normally they are broken up along divisions, not inside divisions, thus you have two companies who work together very well.
Break up MS into Office and OS and: nothing would change. Big Software vendors do not automagically create products for other os
Break up some telecom into ISP and pure telecommunications company and: They still mainly sell each others products
Break up google into data center operation and search engine: Still each would be the dominant customer/provider for the other.
On many modern devices in the lab (e.g. Arbitrary Waveform Generators, Oscilloscopes) the hd can be easily removed withou opening the case. That would be fairly easy.
Or: mount the hd firmly but make a slot for a i GB compactflash card containing the encryption key. or store the encryption key on the hd and delete it 1 time per month.
Its not a computer like any other. Its not turing complete, not even within the limits imposed by the memory. The designer chose to restrict the set of algorithms to be executed to a miniscule subset of all possible ones.
Well the point is that QKD only extends a now-existing secure key exchange into the future. This means: if you assume a public key scheme is safe for lets say a few hours for breaking the code then the key which you exchanged at that time using this channel is safe also in the future *even if* the classicla key is broken.
But the simple answer to you question is: yes. usually they conveniently forget it.
Honestly it its just about adding a button so that its not necessary to remember the command line arguments/switches, i prefer tcl/tk. Lightweight, portable (and ported), and stable. And if you need a little more functionality, there are tons of libraries available.
A company opening the source to a given product at a given time may decide that - upon seeing not enough external developers jumping on - that it may be not worth continuing this effort. And the "community of administrators and users" complains they dont have enough programmers to fork it on their own.
How to say: Congratulations. But you know that *working* open source ecosystems also include programmers.
I mean it wouldnt be something I do, but both persons involved seem to be grown-ups, in a perfectly concious state, and it seems to be funny to both (for whatever reason). To me the complete scene is as cryptic as the idea why i would buy a phone from Microsoft; maybe this is just to show that the phone does not have real features going beyond an arbitrary cameraphone from 5years ago (but *with touch*). Overall the video seems to aim at people around 25 i would say.
So i dont understand if that is "sexting", i dont understand what the word exactly means (it seems diffuse), i dont see why i would complain about adults (male or female) sending pictures of breasts to other adults (as long as both sides are fine with it). But i think nodoby should complain by depicting seemingly funny things in an advertisement, even if the people in it act highly irrational.
I am actually more annoyed by advertisments still exhibiting old gender role models.
Did i anyhow mention that the checks on the identity of the requesting person are relaxed? The Idea is to overkill the Administration of the data harvesters if they start to piss off people. So i think it is for sure appropriate that they check the ISs of the people. How? Thats really their problem.
Just introduce the rule that any customer contacted by a company may force them to provide a complete record (sent in paper, with a personal valid signature of the person in charge) on his personal data and how they got it, and the right to demand deletion of his record and the restriction a not use the same way again. Wrong statements should be punished by hefty fines and prison for the person signing it.
if 5% of the people do it this would clog up the system pretty much.
I work in a Japanese company. And i understand fully why they dont thrust their security. The main problem is that if the (incompetent) admins explains that something is in that way, then the boss will believe him.
If i would be responsible i would use the statistics about the downloaded updates. its very likely each update is only downloaded once for each active machine (so you dont even need to track machines). If you then track machines within a download session and analyze how many updates are downloaded at once, you also know something about the way of using the machine (still without tracking the users...).
Sorry guys. Please.
I think the address book in your phone is among the most personal information you possibly could have. Much more personal than any CV you write, and more personal than your porn collection should you own one. How can anybody assume that i would willingly upload all my contacts? Other syncml services exist and i dont use them. There should be *no systematic* way to figure out who my friends are - or whom i talked to at the phone. Right now phone calls are quite well protected by the laws in comparison to emails. Please do it old-school and just provide a sync application which syncs it to my computer without a legal cloud in between.
Please enable me to choose to synchronize my private phone with my private computer without the data leaving my private home.
The same ideas apply to businesses; there its maybe not their porn collection, but the plans for the newest product. And yes, the list of the most current customers of your biggest competitor may be worth some money.
I dont even go as far as to speculate what happes if medical doctors, lawyers, the police or journalists use it.
anybody remember IBM? Remember how anybody predicted IBM would die, go bancrupt or beocme irrelevant? Good.
Big companies have the tendency to sometimes have weak phases and then - if they realize what is going on - strong phases.

I am not exactly sure whats your problem; but there seem to be a lot of feelings of inferiority involved.
its not about weekend hackers, but about companies developing new solutions based on the system.
So the short and neutral for of this article is:
A company opening the source to a given product at a given time may decide that - upon seeing not enough external developers jumping on - that it may be not worth continuing this effort. And the "community of administrators and users" complains they dont have enough programmers to fork it on their own.

how does this work if a newspaper has an app for the ipad? Do they have to censor the politcal cartoons?

How about transcompilers? They do not necessarily introduce new layers. Anyway i think its up to the users to evalute which applications are the best.
The original silk road sadly leads to territories which are politically to unstable.
i personally would have found an IBM-Sun deal scary. Much more scary than Oracle-Sun. The results:
-one independent Unix implementation less
-one (important) independent JVM implementation less

Thanks for making the point about the explosion. I thought exactly the same. I would not think of an expanding space as an explosion.
Does it finally support: -Bluetooh keyboards (non apple) -bluetooth headset (non-apple) -beaming contact by bluetooth to other mobile phones?

We should also teach physics in first Person shooters. With Schroedinger Zombie-cats which are only half alive and Maxwell deamons. Well. Maybe not.
