Panda Security software must be installed on all the computers that it scanned. So if 50% of those computers had infections last month and 39% of them STILL have infections now, then I conclude that Panda Security software is surprising ineffective against malware and trojans.
if the hack didn't involve sticking an arduino in it. When you add that part, it's not really a hack anymore, it's just a replacement cover for new internals.
It's easy to point at other vendors, engineers, deployments, designs, et al and say that it went wrong because of them. But how much of that is an excuse made by midrange or flat outright incompetent personnel? Not everyone can be brilliant on the bell curve, and for everyone else, well, it's easier to blame others when the plan blows up.
1) It connects a grand total of 65 miles 2) It's being built between the towns of Borden and Corcoran. Yes, if you didn't know where that is, that's ok, most people don't. 3) No trains can run on it until some other town agrees to link up to it.

So what happens if your company happens to be Enron and your computer gets supoened by the court? Your personal stuff gets hauled away at the same time? I don't think they'll untangle your business life from your work life when there's only one computer for them to investigate.
The other issue I forsee is what happens with wiping the drive? Maybe you quit the company, the corporate IT system issues a wipe to your iphone, and guess what, your personal data's gone too.
It's not always a good idea to blend your business life with your work life, especially when you don't know whether the corporate security policies trump your personal data.

Final Fantasy X came out in 2001, so the most you could have played it is 9 years, not 10. But since you bought it for $20, you must have got it used or as a greatest hits release, in which case you might have played it for 8 years at the most.
While there are some really difficult side quests in the game, there is only one ending, so doing multiple play throughs doesn't make a lot of sense. So given that it takes, at most 100 hours to see everything in FFX, that must mean you're enjoying about 12 hours of gaming a year with your $20 investment.
"an event that may signify the end of the PC-centric era"
I think they overlook a few of factors:
1) smart phones are undergoing a upgrade/replacement phase that isn't seen in the pc world. Outside of the gaming community, many people are fine with the core 2 duo they bought 3 years ago, but in the same period of time they would have replaced a smart phone at least once.
2) many people have more than one smart phone - I have a work phone and a home phone, yet I only have one pc
3) many people are smart phone buyers but not pc buyers. For instance, a family may have 1 home computer and 4 phones (one for each parent, one for each kid)
End of the PC-specific era? Better get some more statistics than just shipments.
Perhaps part of the problem making such a determination is the asymmetric nature of their leaks. They haven't been leaking any secrets from the Taliban or Al Quaida.
It's more a function of the people involved in the leaks and the amount of digital information available to send electronically than any editorial bias, but nevertheless, the benefactors of such leaks tend to be the same people rather than being evenly distributed.
It seems like FPS are still alive and well, even if it isn't the same IP from the 90s. There are some genres from the 90s that completely died off.
What happened to the space flight simulators of the 90s? Lucasarts can't make a better X-Wing with modern technology nowadays? The last great space flight sim was Freelancer or HomeWorld and that was 10 years ago. That genre completely disappeared.
What about the great god games of the 90s? I still play populous the Beginning, partly because I like the game but mostly because there hasn't been any newer game that has the same kind of fun to it.
this is definitely one of those things that I add now, then forget about later, and it becomes a condition that may or may not work when I apply upgrades & patches in the future. Whether or not the.bashrc approach is faster, I think that going down the kernel route makes it more consistently usable.
Many people proclaim that OS X is an example of how great Unix front end could be, and that went mainstream. In order for Ubuntu to reach similar orbit, it's possible that it can't wait for Gnome proper to get it right, and they need to start making their own stuff.
you need to burn the homebrew to a boot disk, which isn't just an ordinary disk image. And you just didn't add a bunch of files and burn it to a standard format, if I remember correctly you had to run the files you wanted to a converter to create a disk image that you burned. And if you forgot a game or two that you wish to add, you have to start all over again.
From the things that I've seen and heard, the ability for iPhone's encryption to protect your data is somewhat nebulous, since there seem to be plenty of attacks on the access controls to the key.
iOS's claims to do encryption are based on the operating system/hardware to do the encryption for you and you trust that nobody can circumvent or duplicate the hardware. Data's not really safe unless you have encryption all the way to the application layer, so that the data's safe even if attacker has physical access the phone.
were still used by somebody, and typically that's the biggest customer of that software. For instance, in the world of enterprise software, when you're a small upstart company, you first innovate to create the first release. They you add the project managers and the MBAs, and you need justification to add new features, and that's usually coming from demands from the biggest customers who threaten to kick you out and cancel the maintenance money.
So why are there features in the product that 50% of the customers dont use? The big customer's environment isn't a model of reality, and software developers aren't necessarily building the most pragmatic software or what the market as a whole needs, but what pays the bills.
A different model applies to the open source world, where software gets developed because the work's interesting to someone who often does it because they like working on it more than financial gain. Yet these features exist even without someone necessarily (or even most) people needing it.
It's odd that Red Hat is sticking their neck out and saying that software developers are making features that nobody needs. You don't have to look further than a Linux distribution to see a set of software repositories full of features that "most people don't need", but it's useful to somebody. There's no reason to discount its existence - it's there if you need it, but for the most part, there aren't many users that need to download every single package. You use what you need and don't need to bemoan that the rest exists.
It sounds like Red Hat's asking for everyone to take their Model T software package and be happy with what the manfacturer gives you, and pray that you get what you need because you're not getting any more.
I can picture that bright, inquisitive kids (and maybe of the few bad apples too) get a hold of a virus and create a copy of it / upload it to a server / save it to a usb drive, and then it gets out and infects other school computers, then guess who's door they're going to knock on?
Yes, there's plenty of ways that kids can get virus code on their own. But there's a big difference between when a kid picks up a loaded gun from home, vs getting one from the teacher, and hoping that it doesn't go off in an unintended manner.

In December 2010, California approved the first locations for a high speed train.
1) It connects a grand total of 65 miles
2) It's being built between the towns of Borden and Corcoran. Yes, if you didn't know where that is, that's ok, most people don't.
3) No trains can run on it until some other town agrees to link up to it.

Without some dollars to measure, the words "tripiling" sounds fantastic. 3x a small number can still be a small number.

I would have phrased your post as a question rather than a statement.
What huge improvement over Vista?
Windows 7 from the user experience is mostly Vista with feature tweaks and better driver support. The rest is mostly marketing.

They are duplicating the KDE 4.0 roll out plan?? *ducks*
how much is the cost of the ammo?

That doesn't sound cheap at all.

Who are they going to blame?
I can picture that bright, inquisitive kids (and maybe of the few bad apples too) get a hold of a virus and create a copy of it / upload it to a server / save it to a usb drive, and then it gets out and infects other school computers, then guess who's door they're going to knock on?
