No, the real problem is that even if you had perfect authentication that couldn't be faked, you could still have stupid, malicious or simply corrupt employees. The entire idea of trying to restrict information to specific people is flawed. That doesn't mean it is a bad idea, but don't be surprised that it isn't perfect, and don't worry about complete perfection. You will always have way bigger security holes than technological ones.
What is the solution: There is no solution, only semi-perfect prevention.
Okay, worldwide was the wrong term. In the civilized part of the world ironically flu deaths are a lot more common than traffic deaths. Probably due to safety rules on cars, and much old people surviving all the curable diseases.
The problem is driving in a city where the other drivers has automatic. It changes how people stop and accelerate. I love manual, but I think I would go crazy if I had to drive manual in a US rush hour.
True, but traffic deaths are in tens of thousands, flu deaths are 1-2 million per year. You are not even comparing apple and oranges, you are comparing house cats, and smilodons.
There is NOTHING that prevents developers from doing that with pointreleases. In fact developers has been doing that for decades with pointreleases and it is nothing new..
Except, the big brandnames with bloatware is not the cheapest. Any noname PC with just a standard version of Windows is cheaper. Only problem is that in some places all the private PC stores have been bought by the big chains that only sell expensive and crappy brandname PCs
I admit I live in Europe, but these local mom and pap computer stores serves mostly regular customers. Techies assemble their own computer which is slightly cheaper.
Cheapest: Assemble it yourself 2nd cheapest: Local non-chain computer store 3rd cheapest: Local chain computer store 2nd most expensive: Big computer chain Most expensive: Big brand name.
It seems odd, but that is how the market looks when the knowledge gap is that big.
IPad sales numbers have not been impressive. They are decent, but not the revolution much of the hype expected. On top of that the criticism of Android tablets is that it doesn't do much the android phones doesn't... BUT the IPAD doesn't do much the iphones doesn't..
So, this story is mostly trolling. Android has one problem, and iOS has one really cool advantage over it: Battery life.. Well done Apple, but seriously, lay off the trolling.
As far as I know IE9 supports ANY codec and video format. Just install the codec... IE9 doesn't DEPEND on the codec and will not force an install when it is installed, but that doesn't mean it can not play the codec, unlike firefox and chrome which refuse to play H.264 even if a windows codec is present.
I am WebM fan myself, but you can not compare the two situations or blame Microsoft for making a open and flexible codec support.
You are probably being ironic, but the US do have such an agency7system, and the US laws on the area are even stronger than the EU, but since Microsoft was forced to split and the ruling was overruled by president Bush Junior, it has not actually done anything worth noticing.
When bring a wire and connected to your wired network. If you can have a security breach simply by someone being on the same network you have security problem.. Ohh. look: Your manager just downloaded a trojan he thought was porn == hacked.
It sends a stronger signal of taking the law serious. As long as nobody cares, it is not effectual law and can not be enforced, by circumventing it you are acknowledging the law and could be liable for trying to circumvent the law.
You could do both? Try comparing it with partition and harddisk labelling in linux. It can be done by silly inpredicable id's like network currently do, they can be set by hardware unique id's, reliable except when you replace broken hardware or by partition labels. I prefer labels, but it does depend on user interaction, fortunately one thing doesn't exclude the other./dev/network/by-id/*
Swedish residence is easy. It is one of the things that is really attractive about Sweden (and I say that as a Dane, we are usually forbidden by social taboo from saying anything nice about Sweden). Should be noted that Swedish ISPs with this move are apparently the most compliant in Europe, so anywhere in Europe would be attractive, but Sweden is the nicest to immigrants.
Why don't they just ignore the law like danish ISPs, or mostly ignore it like most ISPs in Europe (noting that UDP is practically impossible to store "connection" information about)??
It seems the Swedish ISPs are way way behind in "rebelling".
Why don't they use an alias for the network they are on. That way the network keeps the same name if you move the cable. For Wireless this is easy (using essid), for wired you either need something based on the dhcp server or statically configured.
The Wii and iPhone games has already changed this. It is a matter of statistical fact that there are more female gamers now than male, and both sexes more games over 30 than under. It is only because the industri is so slow at adapting that you still see most games marketed at the old stereotypes.
The fakes are rarely reseeded, so that makes their seed numbers and thus their ranking in search results lower. You might as well conclude the majority of pages indexed on google are spam, fake or malicious, which is probably also true, but they are usually low ranked.
You could never prove if the dice is loaded just by rolling it, as your all-sixes result has an equal probability of occuring as any other sequence.
So, the chance of getting a 6 is 50-50, you either get it or you don't??
No, the entire meaning of a loaded dice means that every sequence is NOT equally likely. The are only equally likely if is a complete fair dice. And while you can never be 100% sure that your prediction of a loaded dice is correct, you can after 10 sixes in a row be around 99,9999942% sure you have a loaded dice
No, but recorded history for the last 1000 years says something about the last 1000 years. A tree-data for the last 10000 years says something about change on that timescale.

Hydrogen is not and can not be a replacement for fossil fuels, it is simply not a source of energy. It is only a way store energy.
A fix in form of a patch has been posted on the 10 year bug report of the same bug. Didn't seem to like that helped a fix find its way into Java.
While all this all-out world-destroying MAD all-against-all lawyering is nice. It is the SLOWEST moving armageddon I've ever seen!!

Honestly the summary sounds more like a troll.

It doesn't has to be a binary cheat. Many game companies label abusing well-known bugs in the released program as cheating.
Easier that fixing the damn games apparently

Because everybody is a corporation?(!)
Corporation as a construct are intended to behave in psychopathic manors. Most people on the other hands are not psychopaths,
