In my experience, MS shit doesn't work any better at getting stuff done than stuff like LibreOffice. In fact, its often worse. But if you think that, you're entitled to your opinion.
Come now, it wasn't some teenager uploading his music collection. It was someone systematically ripping an entire series of works and taking paypal donations. That's the moral equivalent of duplicating the latest movie and having a network of sellers flogging the movie outside all theatres on DVD for $1 a pop.
I have to say I don't see the big deal. If you're going to encrypt email attachments, what about the emails? What about all your other data? That's what disk encryption is for surely. This was just a band aid for one scenario among hundreds.
Languages that aren't designed top to bottom at the beginning tend to evolve into Frankensteins. Perl, C++ have evolved in accordance with fantastically clever ideas, but end up being more complex than anyone wants to deal with, and a mess of syntax. Java is heading that way too. The question is can anyone put all this cleverness into something simple? Say what you want about things like lisp and scheme, they managed to put incredibly powerful ideas into something that is at its core simple. If only other language designers achieved it too.
I see no reason whatsoever why the concept of front-running should be restricted to a broker and their client. It doesn't make it different just because some other person is front-running.
Every company and his dog would like to be the gatekeeper for your data. Only the top tier technology companies can take a shot at it: Google, Apple, MS, Amazon.
Digital vs physical data? What is this odd beast called physical data? Get a Fuji iX500 scanner and you can scan 10 years worth of paperwork in an afternoon. I store it in Devonthink, but if you store it in Evernote its automatically backed up to the cloud. Put all your numbers, passport numbers and critical stuff in 1Password and sync with the cloud. Done!
If you get a top of the line Fuji scanner (like maybe $400), you can scan all your mail in 2 seconds flat, and with something like Devonthink, have it all filed too.
Either people are being front run, or they are not being front run. Can't the SEC grow a pair and actually say definitively whether people are being front run or not? I don't think the concept of front running is an obscure concept that is up for debate. Come on SEC, investigate and pass judgement. Don't give us these weasel words.
As soon as you decided to trade with someone else, you potentially infringed on someone else, and that's why we have a society with laws to govern it. If you truly don't want to interact with anyone else, you'll have to go find a log cabin somewhere.
Well, they are probably more accurate than almost all quartz watches, because they sync. At least all the quartz ones that don't sync with time signals, and most places in the world don't have time signals.
"Cosmology, particularly in the early universe but after the first microsecond, say, is based on well-understood science and is anything *but* speculative"
Come now. Applying what might be regarded as well understood math and physics to the first seconds of the universe isn't entirely speculative, it certainly requires some speculation to assume that this is what happened. Nobody knows for sure what conditions existed at that time.
As true as all your statements are, unless you have a better solution its really just whining. In a hypothetical future where we have infinite energy from large fusion reactors, we need some way for cars to run, and batteries just aren't practical enough.
It's fun to speculate what might have been, whether Nokia screwed up big by ceding the iPad market. But I think any tablet like device without a touchscreen can't really be said to be the predecessor of the iPad. In the same way that Nokia had internet devices and still couldn't make an iPhone, even if they'd made this tablet, it still most likely wouldn't have spawned the iPad revolution.
its pretty much the case that programming languages in which it is harder to make bugs are also harder to make security problems. Because security problems are just a special case of bugs. So all the things we know about writing better languages are important for security. Unfortunately, language technology has always been under-appreciated. People will just use what is popular, which often times is just C or Java and so forth.
I can see parallels here to the Snowden affair. Basically, if you blow the whistle on management acting unethically, you are screwed. Whether it's Snowden blowing the whistle on the Feds or some engineer blowing the whistle on GM management, there is no protection for someone wanting to do the right thing. This is how Nazi Germany got to where they ended up. We don't know if one of these engineers wanted to blow the whistle, but usually engineers want to engineer, they don't care about bean counting, so its a fair bet he wanted it done right, but wasn't allowed to.
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke.
The way society is going, having good men do something gets harder and harder.
Errm, I'd like to hear your argument of how it has nothing to do with it.
Even this paper argues the big bang could come from a "quantum fluctuation", which in my book is "something". It must be something, because they gave it this specific scientific name, rather than "nothing". Then the question is how did a quantum fluctuation come from nothing.
If this posting is your best effort against creationists, looks like you just let them win.

Except the last words were not goodnight, they were "malasian 3-7-0"
Don't worry folks, it's only meta data. Nothing to worr.....

If everyone knew these cameras are around probably people would start shooting them and vandalizing them.

What about $100 Seikos, like say an SKX007? Hardly for richarses. Not electronic. I think functions plenty well enough for its intended purpose.

Apple didn't invent the MP3 player, the tablet, the smartphone and a ton of other stuff they sell.

I thought Fahrenheit had been relegated to unofficial status in the US (?)

Just as long as its the neighbour's dog and not mine, because I'm tired of complaints about my dog.

I disagree. Assuming this hypothesis, it was better he make the change and save lives... management, convention and rules be damned.
Of course we don't really know if that what really happened.
