Use a proper HTML sanitizer. Yes, this is much bulkier than just throwing a regexp, but this is for a reason. Just look at the security advisories for google caja for instance: https://code.google.com/p/goog... There's no way a simple regex can take care of all these cases, if WP just updated the regex - it is bound to be full of holes.
- $3.2B Moto's 2011 cash
- $2.4B Moto's 2011 deferred tax assets
- $2.35B Moto's Set-top-box business sold in 2012
- $75M Moto's factories business sold in 2013
- $2.91B Moto's Mobility business sold in 2014
So the "patents, engineering talent, and insight into the mobile-device marketplace" cost $1.56B, not $7.1B
The Mozilla folks didn't speak kindly of Google Native Client, but asm.js is not much different than PNaCl (portable native client)
PNaCl compiles LLVM bitcode to native code
asm.js uses code generated with Emscripten from..... LLVM bitcode
Devs can easily target both platforms.
If somebody ports the Pepper API to asm.js, converting a PNaCl application to asm.js can be an automated task.
The malware developers test and try to circumvent the Google scanner and don't bother with third-party security apps. If Google buys an app with 100% detection rate and uses it in their scanner, guess what the detection rate will be a few months later.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't NVidia have a small GPLed kernel module which communicates with the rest of the driver which is platform neutral (e.g. the same on Windows and Linux) and therefore not derivative work. This is a bit of a gray area, but so far the Linux devs have not complained. So if NVidia exposes this functionality in their GPL kernel module in a platform-neutral way will that be ok?
They most probably mean DocBook XML. In the XML you only express data - chapters, articles, paragraphs, titles, images... No formatting. And then using the same XML you can generate HTML, PDF, ePub, MOBI, htmlhelp, etc...
...the petrol their cars run on... is really just an inconvenient waste product that happens to have found a use.
While the market for plastics is huge, it is dwarfed by the gas market. Once there's no need for gas - production will shift to converting petrol exclusively to plastics, wax, asphalt, lubricants, etc. You can create plastics from many sources - vegetable oil, sugar and... oil.
Quickoffice will be one of the carrots to lure manifacturers to use the Google branded version of Android instead of rolling their own ( Amazon, Baidu Yi ). This is their primary incentive, not Windows 8.
This chip will work on tablets, so I am not sure about the 20-40% of the pixels thing. Also PS3 games look much better than the PC counterparts on similar hardware thanks to the fine-tuning and specific optimisations which are possible only on fixed hardware. In order to match the PS3 the Mali GPU actually has to be more powerfull. And let's not forget that the power consumption will be orders of magnitude lower. It definatelly will not be high-end, but might still be more powerfull than most of the GPU's that will be sold at the time of the release (e.g. integrated Intel crap).
Linus' rant is about using PAE in a desktop enviroment, which I agree with (that's why I said that I doubt any applications will use PAE). It says nothing about virtualisation. LPAE will work just fine for VMs.
ARM's Large Physical Address Extensions (LPAE) allows access to up to 1TB of memory.
While I doubt applications will use this, it will allow each virtualized host on the server to use 4GB of memory.
And thanks to some european laws that Adobe strongly supports and enforces (with the help of BSA) it is illegal for an european company to use software bought in the US.
Yay for open markets.

From the GPL:
"If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works."
So one can argue that if the properitary drivers can use the same interface(through a small opensource kernel module) on multiple OSes (BSD, Linux), then these drivers are not derived from any OS.

No, you have complex escape sequences, encoding tricks, browsers interpreting invalid HTML differently... This is much more complex than it looks.

Sanitizing HTML input with regular expressions, what could possibly go wrong?

How does Traynor's "genius" I.T. friend get an IP address from ...Facebook (wtf??) ?
Quite easy. You post a status with a link that's only visible to the stalker. When he visits the link, you have his IP address.

My old eeepc came preinstalled with some crappy linux distro. It had the same price and specs as the windows version except for larger hard drive. You can still see the Windows./Linux designation on their support site: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&m=eee+pc+1000h/linux

The amount of electricity required to travel a certain distance with an EV is roughly the same as the amount of electricity used to refine the gas for a regular vehicle that travels the same distance. According to DOE:

This probably makes the texture compression patent (S3TC) invalid. Now it can be safely implemented in Mesa.

What could possibly go wrong?
Wouldn't all the atmosphere freeze at the dark side of the planet? The water for sure, maybe the CO2 too? Unless it's a greenhouse planet like Venus?
Great! Now if they would be kind enough to adjust the European prices for their products so that they are not 2 times more expensive than in the US.
