It's a bit of a no-brainer - MS still has to pay for development somehow. They have existing flash code and developers, why would they re-write and re-train?
Give it some time before making these stupid accusations. Just because they themselves have existing code and developers doesn't mean they are suggesting new development elsewhere shouldn't use the technology and be "ahead of the curve". I'm not saying silverlight is better - just that MS's lack of use of it doesn't suggest anything at this point in time.
A premium adsense customer like myspace would be able to pick their ads from Google - they would not be truly contextual. Plus advertisers would be able to target Myspace specifically. The sad fact is these are the ads that would be making the best money on myspace, as they are the most deceptive to users and therefore generate the most clicks.
From the above article : "Also ask if the drive is a native SATA implementation or a parallel drive with a SATA bridge chip. You want the native SATA implementation. Theyre better in all aspects."
Apple uses the bridge chip, Lenovo uses the native implementation. I'm sure this would be a factor in their results.

While I have my doubts about your flawless code, I do agree the STL provides sufficient facilities to write 'good', easy to write code, as much as any other high level language. The trouble is it isn't as obvious how to use it. Java has the whole 'everything is a object' which forces you to use such containers and object design. C++ has the ability, but doesn't enforce it. The problem is uneducated C++ coders, not necessarily a deficiency in the language.
In other words, both Java and C++ allow good design and code, but Java enforces it whereas C++ lets you shoot yourself in the foot.
This might be an event on some otherwise quiet planet. But given the Sun itself is a gigantic ball of freakin' fire, with solar flares and enough UV to cause cancer in people on other planets, a bit of a wave doesn't seem quite as impressive.
rather than creating a new gmail account, you should look at spamgourmet.com. The email accounts are created and limited automatically. Just give out an email address, and it automatically is limited to x many emails. You need to have a read up on it, but its very easy to use.
Or you can put a prefix to your gmail address with a '+'. ie. "temp+john38@gmail.com" the mail still gets delivered to john38@gmail, but with 'temp+john38@gmail.com' in the 'to:' field, allowing you to filter it easily.
That would require a *LOT* of traffic, considering only ~1% of visitors would bother to fill out the captcha. With that many visitors, you're better off monetising that site (eg ads and penis enlargements etc) than pissing off your visitors making them fill out some captcha so you can send some spam with only a 0.01% response rate. Nice theory, but it doesn't happen.
Because one is by MS and the other by OSS. Slashdot users prefer OSS over MS so they laugh when there is a hole in a MS product, but are embarrassed by a hole in an OSS project.
This may work for a very simple application. However any 3 tier application and/or with multi-process/threading will be next to impossible to step through with a debugger unless you have a reasonable understanding of the code in the first place and know what section of code you wish to debug.
If your code supports 'debug' mode of some sort which logs a trace of the commands executed, this is probably more effective. Run the code with some known data, and take a look at the trace. Match the trace logs with the trace commands in the code. Use ctags/cscope and an effective 'grep' command in your vim etc to jump around the code effectively.
Really? If it's not finished yet, wouldn't that suggest there is even more to add? ie it will be even larger (unless everything is built with debug enabled - though I have my doubts). Also, the whole point of a preview/beta is to give the public a *preview* of what the SP will be like, and get feedback. So whining about things wrong with the preview of a SP seems pretty appropriate.
I don't get it. What does the price drop on the iPhone have to do with working at Google over Apple? Did the price drop affect the employees of Apple in some bad way, that Google didn't/wouldn't? Are they going to lose their job as a result? The two stories seem completely unrelated.
Microsoft will only credit you in a bulletin if you disclose a security flaw responsibly. Don't know about other corporations, but I would've thought MS were fairly significant.
Yes, but then there is the risk the data gets corrupted between the NIC and CPU. Doing the checksum at the CPU checks the integrity of the data at the end-point, rather than on its way to the CPU.
Well Visual Assist will 'squiggly red underline' variables that have not been defined. eg:
int lAnsIdx(0); lAnsIndex++;
the lAnsIndex will be marked as a 'spelling error'. I guess you could use something like a modified lint to ensure that your naming convetion is followed (for eg. hungarian naming convention).
It points out spelling mistakes in "strings" but not variable names. ie, it won't point out that the variable lAnsIdx is spelt incorretly, like the submitter is asking for, that would be just stupid.
Paypal idiocy has cost me in the past. They decided to suspend my account until I gave emailed them photo id etc. They offered no explanation other than 'suspicious activity'. Fair enough if they are trying to protect my account, but they also suspended automatic debits which have been paid many times in the past. This suspension caused a bill to not be paid, which caused my web site to be suspended, which cause me to lose quite a bit - more than I even had in the account. Thanks paypal.
Its nice and all.. but I don't think it would have been terribly hard to implement. You can already pan the view around in the same manner.. it would have been just a matter of adding some controls and basic physics to pan the view around. The 'hills and everything' are already part of Google earth. It shows the 3D buildings too in some places.
Although vandalism and repeat offendors etc often make small edits, such as inserting a 'not' or repeatedly inserting a url or something. Someone who makes a large edit has gone to a lot of effort, and this is probably more trustworthy than soemone who makes a quick hack. People who insert intentionally misleading information wouldn't go to too much effort to just have their edits reverted or easily noticed, so would just make small edits.
So I don't think someone who goes to a lot of effort to insert a large amount of text (read: facts) that gets proofread and tidied up or rewritten by others should be penalised.
No they didn't put the other maps in the demo, but they did put them in the full release. So combining the demo and the full release gives you a full release without the copy protection. As the OP mentioned. So they just take the.exe from the demo, and the resources from the full release to create a quick cracked release.
Its rarely this simple, but sometimes they would at least have similar start up code - but one with copy protection, one without. It gives the crackers something to work with to put together an unprotected executable.
They seem to be picking apart the perl script as not working. But whos to say they attacker didn't just run the command manually, then write the perl script afterwards (albeit with bugs) as a means of 'publishing' the exploit. It's a pretty common thing to do. Work out an exploit by hand and run it a few times, and then try and wrap it up nicely in a script for the kiddies and publishing etc.
Oops yes, I meant move, not copy. If they were doing a move rather than a copy then you would get the difference I mentioned depending on whether its on the same partition or not.

Indeed, some work has be done on the code here : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=192426

But then thats not really using an alternative browser.. its just hosting the IE browser in a different window. You may as well just use IE.
Wouldnt that mean IE7 should have had no WGA requirement, then the WGA requirement added.. rather than the other way around?

You just need to install Visual Assist by Tomato software. Not cheap, but improves on VS an order of magnitude.
