And yes, the recovery option is the side screen door to Fort Know that people seem to forget about. We really do need a better password recovery system.
We have one, it's "reset your password", and it's what every moderately well-run site uses. I haven't seen a password recovery option on any mildly popular site in years. (I'm sure someone will come up with an example, point is, it's rare).
Any armchair physicists care to calculate his levels of radiation exposure when you combine the flight time with the new-fangled porno-scanners?:)
Unless my math is way off, 20,000 hours of flight time is about 50 mSv total. So he could take five times that in a single dose and likely not suffer any ill effects.
The porno-scanners are negligible (at least the published numbers for the porno-scanners are).
As usual, people freak out about the least likely dangers - he's way more likely to die of a pulmonary embolism from DVT.
No... we're not. I said 'do more to kill the disc'.
Ok, you lost me; when you said do more to kill the disk you were not talking about killing the disk? Or are you implying something clever with your alternative spelling?
You'll have to explain to me how consumers moving their data to the cloud will mean an increase of hard disc sales.
Well, it's pretty involved: consumers will move their data to the cloud, at which point cloud providers will need disks to store that data.
Storage utilization is likely to be more efficient, so I don't know if that will actually increase sales, but then again, we were talking about "killing the disk" not "increasing sales". The cloud, being essentially a large collection of disks, seems ill fit for the job.
Doesn't seem to make much sense to support 4.0, there was only a three month window for people to switch to it (I doubt many businesses did so).
Either extending support for 3.5/3.6 for existing installations, or guaranteeing long term support for new 5.0 users seems like it would find more of an audience.
I don't have time to read everything, and many "messages" can be safely ignored based on who the messenger is.
Like this one, for example.
Actually, I don't need to know who Joe Herring is in this case, the writing style clearly show that's it's written by someone with an axe to grind, and coming from a politically motivated position - I really don't need to wade through all that crap just in case he stumbled on a valid point somewhere.
I believe that first link is an attempt at satire (check the date).
It's a lot easier to protect against buffer overflow attacks in a media decoder since you're working with a well-defined format. I believe a JPEG renderer was compromised at one point (IE, I want to say?), but that's the only example that comes to mind.
I've never seen the multiple extension trick attempted on BT. Wouldn't work as well either, since you'll see the full name on the tracker site and in the BT client first, it's only Windows that hides the extension from you. Sure, some people will still get fooled, but it's just not the raging epidemic that the OP was implying.
Point is, for any moderately popular movie or TV show, the top-seeded torrent will always be a real, high-quality rip. That's the appeal of the whole thing - it's a lot easier to use and more reliable than any of the legitimate services.
I think most people have "grown up" and are sick of all the spyware, viruses, and hacks from torrent sites anyway.
What are you talking about?
How exactly are videos and music going to carry spyware or viruses? Or "hacks" for that matter - are there a lot of people who have been hacked by, what, I guess tracker operators?
The most you'll see on BT are those ridiculously lame "go to www.lulz.sk/~kodeks to download the proper codec for this movie" videos (where I assume you're invited to download 'rapemycomputer.exe'). That's right, BT viruses work on the honor system - you have to download them yourself.
It's not like they're hard to spot beforehand either, and anyone who falls for this type of "leet haxoring" wouldn't be able to figure out Hulu anyway.

It must be shocking to hear, but not everyone knows about the same topics as you, even if they are educated well in other areas.
On the other hand, everyone does know about Wikipedia. Oh, and Google.
Although, who knows? Maybe someone really was desperately, and futilely, trying to figure out how to look this up.
Well, finally! It feels like it's been almost 24 hours since the last BitCoin story.
Probably hasn't, but you know, feels like it.
I wonder, why wouldn't you include the right to life with the rights animals "should" have? Seems like it's the most fundamental right of all.
it sounds like the agency doesn't care whether it actually owns the copyright on the photos, it just wants Techdirt to take them down
I think it's more likely that they don't care about Techdirt's disingenuous claim that monkeys own the copyright.

I have yet to see a windows version of Evolution.
It's been around for a while: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/
Wait, wait, I know this one!
"Stopping" is the one you said, and "slowing down" is the one I was supposed to intuit you meant, right?
Which isn't true either, but, whatever.
No... we're not. I said 'do more to kill the disc'.

And how do you imagine "the cloud" (and by extension phones and tablets) stores its data?

Works surprisingly well.
and at the same time he probably wouldn't want to harm his personal computer at home
You're overthinking this - they use the office computers because they find the USB sticks on the way to work.
What's wrong with Orkut?
What are the roadblocks and/or definciencies of alternative sources of power?
Lack of incentive. Do you really get the impression that the military here is strapped for cash?
Don't worry, they still have the content (they still have everything that has ever touched their server).
And no, the users can't get access to it.
So it's just one step away from "unplayable", which I assume is the ultimate goal?

Wait, so we're going to get a story every time anyone gets hired to do what they love?

Ruby.
Kind of surprised it's not getting more love here.
(hey, not everyone's into the Python philosophy)
I don't really do much GUI development, but I'm curious - how does WindowBuilder compare to the C# tools?

His contributions stand head and shoulders over any other computational theorist, ever.
Well, Alonzo Church had a bit to do with it, too.
