it's a game of measure/countermeasure. You invent the gun, I invent armor. You invent a stronger gun, I counter with reactive armor.
Eventually this is going to stop being the way we work, I hope. We could also think outside the box: put more resources into improving things for other human beings on the planet. Yes, we need to defend ourselves against REAL threats, and the biggest strength the U.S. has at its disposal is the good will we manage to generate by helping others and spreading wealth and peace in the world.
Yep. That's 200 PASSENGER miles per gallon. If you fill up my Acura TSX, it almost gets that too. It's a fair rating, I'm just saying don't compare it to a Prius.

Not to mention that just because a lock can be picked, doesn't mean you have the moral right to do so. Why are hackers so morally superior that they can break the law and brag about it? This guy should be arrested on conspiracy charges in my book. And I'm a libertarian! Go figure.
I'm curious, where does apple sell encryption protection of the hard drive as a feature in the iPhone? If they do, I would certainly agree they screwed the pooch. If not, you must eat crow. LOL
You cell bill goes down by $10-15, so it's a wash unless you keep your phone 4 years like some do
That's the problem -- you're "forced" to buy a new phone based on this amortization scheme, rather than by when you actually want a new phone. It would be better for you perhaps to buy it when you felt like it, and certainly better for Mother Earth.:-)
Perhaps you meant arithmetic ones like "more [robust] than", as there are no + - * / operators in the original.
Crap, why am I doing this before I've eaten breakfast? I must be a geek.
Laugh, but this actually is the new feature as designed.
This encryption was added to make it possible to remotely wipe an iPhone in seconds. (Delete the encryption key that is on the phone, no more reading the data off of it.)
Apparently the intent was not to protect the data on the phone from a real attacker, I don't think anyone at Apple that worked on this would expect that to be the case with the encryption key on the device. (stolen from an AC because it's interesting)
I never read anything about OLED displays. I was just reporting my experience, which is why I didn't say "Slashdot NEVER reports on technologies that actually come through." It's just rare. As in I've never read about it.
Sometimes results out of the lab are immediately applicable, more often they take a quite a number of years to work out the practical kinks
Besides being +1 insightful, you can replace "sometimes" with "almost never", especially on Slashdot technologies. I honestly cannot remember a SINGLE technology predicted here that I can actually buy yet. But I've only been here a few years.
The one thing that's missing for me with the smartphone version is AUDIBLE turn by turn directions so I have warning before I need to turn without having to watch the map. Does the tom-tom software have that?
Normally, "complexity" in computer science refers to how long it takes to do a given task, given the size of the task. It's usually expressed as O(blah), read, "Order of blah". For example, an O(n^2) ("order n squared") complexity means that if it takes "m" minutes to finish a problem of size x, then it will take 16m minutes to finish a problem of size 4x. I'm not familiar with the term "complexity" being used in this context and with these specific numbers.

Bravely said, Anonymous Coward! Come out into the light, little cockroach!

The distinction is in not knowing or being unable vs. being unwilling or too impatient. It's a matter of choice vs. circumstance.

So, RBG = White, right? Any new application from that?
[sarcasm] Oh, thanks, that's clearer. [/sarcasm] :-)

Then you left out a leading space.
It's not illiteracy, it's attention deficit. Why read the whole sentence when you can just read until you've formed an opinion and ignore the rest?
Too bad you keep posting as anonymous coward -- most people will never see your comments.
Sure you can, indirectly. Force them to compete for their business by making "exclusivity contracts" illegal.

I know it's probably inconceivable to you, but some people actually wash their hands after going to the bathroom. WINK

Another huge area where it will likely underperform: price. Details, details, I know.
It will make governments less averse to using nuclear weapons.

Does that mean we'll have a single point of failure? Loss of heterogeneity might come at a price...

Really, would you mind posting your credit card information here please? Also your home address? I didn't think so.
