Upon reading the news, I couldn't help but wonder if this was the Microsoft plan all along... (Picture Steve Ballmer as Palpatine). FUD up Android with patents until Google is forced to turn to the dark side and buy up a handset manufacturer for the patent portfolio. The other manufacturers are fucked over and go with Windows OS Phone 7.
I don't see how HTC, Samsung, etc could be happy about this. Android is no longer Open and now Motorola will be a version or two ahead of them.
You can compare Android to Bing. Company rakes in cash from core business, uses it to subsidize entry into another business. Android has kind of moved to the Doom business model -- you can have the old engine for free, but if you want the current version, google apps, and google marketplace, pay up.
If the source string is NUL terminated, however, attempting to access it in units larger than bytes risks attempting to read characters after the NUL. If the NUL character is the last byte of a VM (virtual memory) page and the next VM page is not defined, this would cause the process to die from an unwarranted "page not present" fault.
On all modern computers, the page size is a power of 2, cleanly divisible by, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc Modern computers have a terrible penalty (sometimes including SIGBUS) for memory accesses which aren't aligned on the native word size. Throw those two facts together and you can't accidentally read past the vm page.
The browser sets a timer and calls the javascript interpreter. When the call returns, it clears the timer. If the timer goes off before the call returns, it asks if you want to stop javascript. Maybe javascript was in an infinite loop. Maybe it was performing a complex task and was just about to quit on it's own accord. The timer doesn't differentiate.
This approach is a deeper probe (like being fisted by popeye vs your girlfriend sticker her finger in your asshole) -- it monitors the program state to find infinite loops.
If you don't have a job, if you're sitting around at home/basement in your underwear eating cheetos, your time is worthless. Unemployment now lasts 99 weeks -- almost 2 years. No doubt it will be extended again until an entire segment of the population will be on permanent dole.
Great for linux? Maybe. But the kind of people who would sit around collecting unemployment for years are the kind of people who use Internet Explorer, if you catch my drift. (For those of you who didn't catch my drift, you use Internet Explorer and have a low IQ).
Maybe you read a different article. The one I read had almost no technical information, but did have a link to KiSSMetric's explanation, which states:
When i.js loads, we set ETags and HTTP headers to tell the browser to cache the value of i.js for as long as possible. We also set the person’s random identity in a first-party cookie and as a third-party cookie on our domain (i.kissmetrics.com).
Blocking the javascript files (or blocking cookies and the ETag header) would eliminate the tracking.
Ubuntu was founded by an African. Helping out with Ubuntu is probably the best way to help Africa. I recommend installing Ubuntu on your computer, as well as any other computers you have access to (your friends, parents, library computers, etc). And spread the word on blogs, forums, mailing lists etc.
You don't remember? They went around, door to door, and stole the floppy drive from every macintosh ever created. You had a Mac with a built-in floppy drive? Too bad asshole, now you need to shell out for an external floppy drive.
Or maybe they introduced a new line of computers without a floppy drive and the comparison doesn't apply.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Twitter is fantastic in that regard. Traditionally, some random asshole would express his opinion in the form of a blog, which nobody reads. Now, that same asshole can condense his snark into a single line, which nobody reads.

Oil companies face a different kind of instability. Middle East, OPEC, Obama, Democrats, BP, EPA, etc.

A smartphone might involve as many as 250,000 (largely questionable) patent claims -- official google blog

Unless there's a patent on patent trolling, patent trolls don't infringe on any patents because they don't do anything other than sue.
That separation of powers thing, where Congress (and only Congress) is authorized to borrow money.
I prefer knowing that a chick doesn't have dude parts.

Not the same thing...

The logical path is to stick with XP. And that seems to be what most people are doing.
Under the Berne Convention (which has been in effect in the US since 1989), copyright is automatic and does not require registration.
If (and only if) you have lottery winnings, your lottery expenses are tax deductible, so you're only taxed on the $80,000 gain.
Lottery winnings are subject to state* and federal taxes (*a handful of states don't tax lottery winnings).

Samba has been replaced with SMBX as a daemon. I haven't seen a whole lot of information on it (and they haven't made the source code available).

So I think you can see why he might want to be 15 again.

I'll wait until Shaved Pussy -- no bugs.
Apple will sell a USB installer in August for $70 or so.
