We call them pirates but not one of them has yet killed anyone. The first kill was by a French military team (they accidentally killed an hostage). I know that Han shot first, but doing so in this situation just sounds unethical to me.
Do you know the nightmarish hell that is an Excel localized in French while being part of an international team ?
Copy-paste of the same data using Excel EN or Excel FR will result in either 115.5 or 115,5 leading to interesting bugs to track...
Agreed, not possible (yet). The article itself is made out of wild assumption by someone who doesn't think to quite understand the subject at hand... Even the 10-20$ figures he proposes for a netbook is more than what a consumer is worth to Google. I could see them giving away computers in some specific programs however.
Even if a company cared, it would be unwise for it to switch to more expensive supplies when others wouldn't. This is why it makes sense that companies support a large ban from some sources instead of individually boycotting them. It is a way of saying "hey, capitalism says I should buy stuff from this warlord, who is the cheapest provider, but I think it would more ethical to have some regulation instead. I'll buy from a more expensive source if you make sure my competitors do as well"
No, the law will be reverted. A dissolution would have been a lot more profitable to France and justice is (still) enough independent from the political power to prevent such a good synchronization. It really sound as a last resort measure.
The 99.99% is way off. Look up what is the proportion of adults that believe in the supernatural, there are studies of that. Look up how many people believe that astrology is a part of astronomy and is correct science (well at least as accurate as weather predictions). You live in a country where your former president, elected by a majority of the US population, tried to persuade my president to go into war using the Gog and Magog prophecy as an argument (not as an image, as an argument). The day a figure of authority (a known priest, a politician, or -god forbids- Sarah Palin) begins to believe this shit, there will be millions of followers.
It should have been dissolved in France but what happened instead is really shameful. The judge was probably going to order the dissolution of the scientology, considered culprit of being a criminal organization of fraudulent aim (that means that money was considered their driving motivation). But two weeks before the verdict (a perfect synchronization). Our parliament made a "mistake". Inside a huge corpus of law modification (aimed at simplifying the laws regarding buisnesses and companies), someone "inadvertently" put a law removing the dissolution as a possible verdict for fraud. Nobody was able to point out the person who put this amendment (how comes !?) and everybody said it was a mistake and they would correct it with a new law. Unfortunately, the verdict was due two weeks later and instead of dissolution, the scientology got a record fine.
They are loosing adepts, but they still have people in the higher spheres...
Subversion (SVN) works well. It is cross-platform. There are plugins to integrate it to Visual Studio through none of the free one I tried really satisfied me. I heard some commercial ones are fine. However, the almost official free client tortoiseSVN (which adds menus into Internet Explorer directly) worked fine.
If you are willing to use a distributed source management, another solution is mercurial, which I like, once past the learning curve. This also is cross-platform and has a similar client for windows : tortoiseHg
Last time I tried Git, I found it worked poorly under windows (despite claims of the contrary) and that no one really cared. It uses specific features of filesystems that are not very well emulated on Windows.
There's one important caveat: some insist that money 'will have no meaning in a future dominated by advanced molecular manufacturing or other engines of mega-abundance.'
Which is obviously such a bad thing that you are better here with a few bucks in a world of scarcity...
In my book "zero-day" means that the vulnerability and the first practical exploit were released the same day. "Zero-day" refers to the time the dev team had to correct the bug.
Saying that the problem can't be solved in a perfectly accurate way doesn't mean that predictions can't be made. It is true for climate, for economics, for automated routing of integrated circuits... We still have models that are not that bad and getting better. We just know that we won't be able to solve it as perfectly as... uh... what do we solve perfectly again ?
Damn, you should really begin to worry about becoming a harbor for the tired and the poor then. No good thing can ever come out of such things...
The idea is that someone who knows he will be cured if he gets sick, whatever his financial condition, is more comfortable at taking risks and to be an entrepreneur. This applies to US-born people as much as foreigners. Most immigrants don't come to US in order to get cured, they go there in order to get rich. They probably are the more economically dynamic demographic you have there.
ISP have to keep logs and will share them on a court injunction. Also, even if you logged-out before doing your search, if you were logged in with the same IP, they can do a pretty good guess.
>> Wouldn't it be illegal for them NOT to do it according to some stupid
>> antiterrorist law ?
> Not in the USA.
Here in EU ISP says that international treaties with USA makes it mandatory for them to log IPs. I am a bit surprised.
MS won't patch it (not one of their softwares), Firefox will not upgrade it automatically (for a reason I fail to understand) as it is a plugin, Ubuntu doesn't have a patch yet. Maybe debian is up to date... But flash has been a pain in the neck as it almost always required me to care individually of it. However, because this kind of vulnerability has always been a risk, I am using Adblock+NoScript
Exactly. The justice institution is based on the personal responsibility. It is more and more known, however that someone can be forced into something with drugs, genetics and so on. Once you begin to think about it, the whole institution seems like a joke. The only solution is to stop consider it as a punishment for individual nd instead look at it as a way to protect society.
I think that what is not mentionned in this article is that the guy gets a shorter sentence in order to get into mental institution quicker

No, you know very well that the government and the wikileaks illuminati cleaned it beforehand...

It crashed in 2003 in the Pacific Ocean :

Unexplainably, it stopped the project. I still wonder why.
As long as you didn't vote unamericanly I guess you don't have to worry...

Seconded. That's not for me. At leas they release their source so someone may come up with a Gears version of that that runs offline...

I'm not sure that $1M is a lot of money for most of the top 1000 websites. Some of them may even be spending more money on advertisement alone.

SourceSafe would be better off forgotten entirely.
and its name forgotten forever, its incarnations burnt to ashes and its repositories sent to /dev/null

I would also add that having an uncrackable machine from an exterior attacker says nothing about the ability of a government to tamper an election.
I understand it as "44% of uses who exploited a flaw used firefox to do so". I think these statistics are completely irrelevant.

Yeah... Do they log IP address for their searches ? Wouldn't it be illegal for them NOT to do it according to some stupid antiterrorist law ?
