Yeah, I guess so. I was just saying that if the holes in the software were obvious, then the webhost would be more at fault. In a similar manner, if you don't keep a windows box up to date with virus definitions and security updates, its as much your fault as Microsoft's if you get a virus.
I think many people may have been confused as to what they meant by data back up. There are back ups you need in case you delete all of your data accidentally, or want to go back to a previous revision. Those would be back ups due to web host user screw ups. This wasn't a web host user screw up, it was a web host screw up. The users probably didn't consider it a likely occurrence, and may have believed that the web host should be able to fix a problem that they allowed due to their negligence.
Itunes prices did increase. More songs are using the upper pricing, while very few are using the cheaper pricing -- even on very old music. Also, I think more of that money goes to the label,than Apple. But calling it anything other than a price increase, is the kind of crap I'd expect out of a politician.
I didn't feel adding that well known fact was necessary. I just took it for granted that they would not want to limit themselves to a technology used only in the US. YMMV.
The Pre isn't sold by AT&T *today*. The exclusivity with sprint runs out in six months. As far as I know, there isn't anything stopping AT&T from offering the pre then.
Automakers do this as well, actually. Ever hear of a certified pre-owned car? Of course the economics are different for used cars vs used games, so that won't work for the publishers.
Yeah, I wasn't sure myself. As you might have noticed, I'm pretty active on OsNews too. I was considering writing something critical about the review, but I figured other people would do it. Kroc, is generally a nice guy he just has some really strong opinions about some things. Even when I agree with him, I sometimes don't agree with the way he says it. But that previous statement could be applied towards just about everyone I know;) So, it might just be me.
Exactly like how soccer doesn't matter in the USA. Heck, we even created a new name for it to further stigmatize it, while taking its international name and associating it with a sport that has only occasionally to do with foot manipulation of a ball.
I think I'm the only person to not like Mavis Beacon. Everyone wanted to play Mavis. Kids loved it. But me? I wanted to actually type something worthwhile and in the process, learn how to type. So, I worked on my science reports. Worked out pretty well for me, actually. WPM Doesn't really matter if you type as fast as you can think. Unless you're in such a niche job that you actually are typing in printed text into a word processor.
True that. Binary compatibility on an platform primarily designed for non opne source software would place a premium on binary compatibility. Source compatibility on a platform primarily designed for open source software.
Yes, there is. You just have to dig. The "get it here" link is a mailto for some guy at izdigital.com . Which is wierd, considering the website isn't called izdigital.com. So go to izdigital.com and take a look. The main page has a link to an ebay sale where "damacguy" is selling a mac compatible video card. How more "professional" and non "vaporware" could you get than that?
Did you really build them on a real physical wirewrap? Or just in software? Neither one is easy, but I think this story is about the lengths that the guy took to actually do it with the wirewrap.
No its cool, but not as cool as if he had done more with lesser equipment. I used to work for a pioneering arcade manufacturer. I loved going through their museums. From the earliest prototypes, you can literally see the struggles and sweat that went into making the product : tons of wires going everywhere huge heat sinks and capacitors everywhere. Then as you go through time to later modules some of the wires disappear thinks slowly start to shrink, until the latest version is just a small pc board with industry standard connectors for everything. I mean yeah it also had a FPGA that had some pretty cool stuff in it, but you couldn't tell that by just looking at it. I remain more impressed with the earlier advances, than the latter ones.
Absolutely! I freaking hate labels. If Aliens from zebnar landed on the national mall, the first question our media would ask them if they were liberals or conservatives.
Jigga - wha? Threat of force? I'm not even sure what you are talking about. But to answer your question, last November I donated a small amount to my alma matter to be used for basic research in the area of particle physics.
Ok, why were the academic networks funded? The point I was trying to make was not necessarily related to DARPA in specific just that general long term research, even if it doesn't seem like its going to have any immediate benefit should be funded.
Using existing technologies in existing ways is not research. Using new technologies in existing ways is. I'm a big supporter of research for the sake of research and science for the sake of science. Would you really have wanted DARPA to cancel the arpnet, because the application they had in mind assumed the use of nuclear weapons?
Note: I think that may or may not be the case that the arpnet was sold as a means for communications to survive in the event of a nuclear strike. but anyway you get the point I'm trying to make. Sometimes the craziest, least practical seeming research results in the coolest stuff.
But that's not what they are doing either, they want to allow the user to input invalid chars, but then highlight the incorrect chars. Entirely possible that there is prior art, but you'll have to find something exactly like that. I would rather argue on the basis of its triviality.
No, that isn't the novel part. If you read further to the background 009.
[0009]What is needed is a solution that provides real-time validation feedback during entry into a text input field. That is, characters are validated as they are inputted with invalid characters being visually accentuated. For example, any numbers accidentally typed into the text field for a city name would be highlighted. Ideally, this solution would leverage regular expressions to define expected input formats.
So it seems they are really only saying that the highlighting of the individual invalid chars in real time is novel. That may or may not have prior art, but it seems rather obvious and not patent worthy.
Just an idiot. Well, at times. As we all are, fragile, sinful, prone to delusions of grandeur and manifestations of our ego.
Not a robot, if that's what you were thinking. Cause that's crazy talk. Pfft, me a robot? You're crazy.
What these wires? Nah Man.. they're just providing power to my neural net, tah.. I mean pancreas. Yes these are my pancreas wires. All the cool kids have them. You just don't know about them, cause you're lame, and only studied lame people's anatomy.

Well, it would seem that if the exploit was so amateurish, the host didn't do their due diligence when selecting virtualization software.

Wow, that critic seems oddly familiar

Well, the first windows program I wrote in 95 still works on windows 7. That's pretty consistent.
Yeah, If I were Microsoft, I would provide the following options
amaya
Maxthon
crazy browser

Just what are you arguing for? Jim crow laws? Apartheid? Kristallnacht? Cultural relativism is a crutch the powerful use to assuage their guilt.
