Gahd. If we put 1/3rd as much money into peace as we do war, there'd be no wars.
Of course not. If team A put all their marbles into peace, while all other teams invest into war, team A would be quickly turned to dust.
For that to work, you would need mutual trust and understandment between all teams. Anything else and it's the pandemonium. Read about the prisoner's dilemma. Welcome to the fascinating world of the complex systems into social science.
There is something else that I would like to know. Since a buffer overflow attack overwrites with data memory addresses filled with instructions, why not designing an operative system that isolates the executable memory from the data memory?
Make it with two levels of access; there should be memory that can be writen to by the programmer and memory that can hold executable instructions, and keep them shielded from each other at the OS level.
I'm not an OS designer; what complications would this carry? Would it protect from the current exploits?
Too much of good music stops really being good music. That is the main problem with pop music: when they have a good song they roll it down the stairs by playing it ad nauseaum in the media.
Yes, that does happen, pop music has also good songs; but one wouldn't ever notice.
But every box sold means numbers to show to the game publisher's marketdroids.
Inflated numbers mean a greater probability of asking money for games that will run in the hardware.
The presumed loss not only is recuped from actual royalties, but too from sending the bill to the game publisher for signing a licensing contract.
For the *Morality* aspect of the question there is only a way out: you don't like them, in this case there is not a quick exit like saying "I have not alternative" because this is a luxury, not a need; if you dislike the company boycott them lawfully and stay aside from their products. Anything else is hypocrisy.
If you're having troubles related with downloads and 100% CPU usage check if you have advanced-> networking-> Enable Pipelining turned on; try turning it off, or upgrade. The last time I saw that problem was at Mozilla 1.1b; upgrading to 1.2a solved it.
Good point--but I think that increasing the number of counters you are increasing too the complexity of the system, and it can lead maybe to a) no more counters could be added at the present rate, or b) managing the extra counters take extra time.
At the worst, it's impossible to get an infinitely fast count (zero time) giving it infinitely many counters.
Because that would be illegal, and even a morally grey area.
Executing your patch without the owner permission or even knowledge may sound like good intentions, but these are what the road to h*ll is paved with.
What if it is defective and opens the box to even more damage? Or what if it thrashes the filesystem, causing data loss that the exploit had not damaged?
And even if it works just as expected every time (a high expectative) you're not making the infected box owner any good: then he/she will fall for the next hit and will keep just as lazy and irresponsible.
Fine, I was not *so* serious (anything with a reference to Dr. Evil should be taken with a sense of humor).
But we, as human beings, are powerful. We can really change the planet. Maybe it, as hypothesed by Lovelock and Margulis, can heal itself given enough time; but even considering the earth as a living, self healing entity, there should be a limit where the change can't be reverted.
No, because that would ruin the tech ecosystem. You don't like a factory polluting right on your garden, but it's just as bad if it is on your neighbor's garden. Spoofed data damages everyone, on unexpected ways.

You're mixing it up. "Rounded corners" are not "Interface", they are "Chrome".
Interface is very important, chrome is the last thing to think about.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember having read that in Japan there's a police cabin every two or three streets.
PoV-Ray isn't open source
I guess he meant "PoV-Ray isn't Free Software". I have downloaded PoV as source code from years ago.
Go to the forums at elysiun.com, there has been a *lot* of discussion about raytracing in blending.

That was not funny. Really, wasn't.
Oh, please stop that farse already.
The box may be sold at a loss, or not.

If "A few hours" means anything like "five times faster", it should be clear why.
Because that would be illegal, and even a morally grey area.

When did you move from under the bridge? :)
LaTeX has already done that:
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)That would be more like "See: Use .TUX"
And I'm assuming that the framework would be based on classic C, just for keeping the tradition and because it sounds fine.

There is likely nothing that we mere humans can do to permanently change the planet
Five nuclear warheads and the Dr. Evil say that you're bluffing. I see your "likely nothing" and raise a "nuclear winter" :) .
Oh yeah, a real multitasking, fully 32bit Windows 3.1
Scientists create Anthrax in labs, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons A matter of semantics. I like to call them "mercenaries"
