88 Critical flaws on the wall... 88 critical flaws... You take one down, pass it around...
Those must be imaginary bugs on the walls and I'm going crazy because I'm sure someone told me that many eyes produces secure code, right? Surely the tons of nerds poring over the Android source code would have found all these by now?
Who said anything about quick? 5 second ad, maybe I would tolerate it. But I imagine initially they will be short but progressively lengthen as people get use to them to epic advertising miniseries where the ad is longer then the video you wanted to watch.
"Please enter the license plate of the gorgeous sleek black BMW that appeared after our hero, Stu Studly, rescued the girl from the clutches of the evil Dr. Domestic."
In this case, they all get to keep their jobs, they are just working on something new now, or maybe working on the same thing for new people. If they don't like it they are, of course, free to walk.
any legal issues with the on line file shearing system that facebook can be in for by buying one? There is alot warez , movies and mp3s on them.
The drop.io blog posting should have been included here (not as if people would read it anyway). Emphasis mine:
"Please download your information before Dec. 15 – we plan to delete it after that time. No user data or content will be transferred to Facebook, and we’ll send out e-mails to everyone to remind them about the service closing."
I'd say it acknowledges the fact that the people in a company are worth more than some moronic idea about an imaginary intellectual property their lawyers concocted.
While I would agree with you, why couldn't Facebook then just hire them? Why did their need to be a transaction between the company's purported owners and Facebook? Facebook is basically buying the company to buy its employment contracts, its relationship with its workers. That treats those employment contracts as a fungible commodity, and that doesn't sit very well with me.
It'd look really bad to say "Sorry, investors... I got a job offer at Facebook so that $9.95 million in funding you put into drop.io? Yeah, I hope it works out for you because I'm out of here." Not to mention the fact that most founders want to stick around and grow the business to a healthy size before they exit. This gives the founders and the investors a viable exit strategy rather than "I'm quitting to be a Facebook employee" which, though it's many steps up from quitting and working at McDonald's, has kind of the same ring to it.
Oddly enough, I initially read that as Pokemon Villages and was quite glad I've never experienced such an abomination.
Hahahahahaha! Bravo sir, bravo! Reading comprehension jokes are always so original and hilarious. Some people say that if you've seen one, you've seen all of them, or that it's right there in black-and-white that it doesn't really say "Pokemon", but they just don't have your special sense of humor.
IMHO, environmental extremism is nothing more that a reconstituted Luddite movement. This is a perfect example. It's as though they think there will suddenly be thousands of space flights every single day and more on the holidays.
Not to mention there are more effective ways to be an extremist. It's estimated there are 600,000,000 cars used every day. If we combined the exhaust from 60,000 of them, would it equal the exhaust from one rocket? Rather than advocating reducing car use by 0.01% (which takes actual work and isn't as "sexy"), it's effortless to put out a press release and shoot this down.
Google for "computer trespass" and click on the "Statutes by State" link -- you'll have something in five seconds with the law quoted for you. For non-US jurisdictions, do some more googling or pay your lawyer to quote the law for you.
Consider a sample of n particles as a crystal, and a sample of n similar particles as a fluid or gas. The atoms in the crystal have very little motion relative to each other, while the particles in the fluid (or gas) have a lot more motion. More motion means more mass, by a factor of 1/sqrt(1 - v^2 / c^2) times the rest mass (IIRC) for each particle. The sum over the sample for the crystal will be less than the sum over the sample for the fluid (or gas).
And it depends on their respective type of forming a solid object how much they actually weigh. A crystal of n atoms is a little lighter than n atoms of the same isotope as a fluid or a gas.
Lighter or has less mass? Fluid lead pretty much weighs nothing when it's in orbit.
Trading this fast brings the market closer to optimal economic efficiency, where prices at any instant accurately reflect value. Latency contributes to the very inefficiencies that you blame these "large investment firms" from profiting off of.
The faster the trades, the greater the disparity between how fast a normal Joe investor can trade vs. how fast an investment firm plugged directly into the exchange can trade. Let's say I'm down the block and my ping times are an awesome 6 milliseconds. A large investment firm plugged into the exchange might have a ping time of 1 millisecond (I'm being quite conservative here), even 1% increase in benefit I see the investment firm is going to see a 6% benefit.
Yes, they play a role in equalizing market prices (more power to them) but they can also profit from the fact that ordinary investors are acting on information that is outdated because they are unable to receive the information as fast as the large institutions can. The greater trading speed only increases this disparity.

I have to agree here - I mean, I spent a year out in Saskatchewan, and it definitely got colder than -40 outside...
If they built a car specifically for Saskatchewan winters, they would overclock it to run at twice the speed with no concerns of overheating.
And how is the environment of a built-in GPS really significantly different from the ECU? [...] Perhaps it's not expected to be fail-safe...
But that's the whole point, isn't it? Your vehicle isn't a useless lump of metal and plastic if your GPS unit fails.
Unlike everyone here who has all there important documents^Hporn encrypted
"important documentporn"? I think you meant ^W or ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H.
Why is he following Walt "I love Apple" Mossberg?
Because he knows the teachings of Sun Tzu?

$54,000 thousand would take a lot of people a long time to pay off
No kidding. "$54,000 thousand" is $54,000,000.
So the patent lawyers go up against the wall first, problem solved.
All in all, that's just another dick in the wall.

They may be getting told to walk. From drop.io's announcement:
"What this means is that Facebook has bought most of drop.io's technology and assets, and Sam Lessin is moving to Facebook."
That makes it sound like this is a one person deal.

In the US, we don't need Potemkin Villages, but those countries sure do.

Money and power are just two parts of the many levels of human motivation.
Apparently a need for completion isn't one of the human motiv
The fuel apparently expels a black carbon soot into the stratosphere when burned with nitrous oxide
You don't burn nitrous oxide, you just inhale it.
I thought that's exactly what's happening. The rocket engine inhales the nitrous oxide which is what makes it get so high.

Clearly from the warning he provided, he wasn't intending to do harm to them.
I think he should have been a bit more mischievous:
"So I'm sitting here at Starbucks and there's a cute guy across the room. What should I do?"
Post the same message for both male and female profiles, optionally changing it to "girl" for the female profiles. Hilarity ensues.

So almost like resting mass + relativistic mass?
And it depends on their respective type of forming a solid object how much they actually weigh. A crystal of n atoms is a little lighter than n atoms of the same isotope as a fluid or a gas.

No, it's listed under IT. The shit you said are the tags.
Wrong. It's in the following topics:
IT :: Security :: Transportation :: United Kingdom
Technology
News
You can verify this by clicking the icons showing the padlock, the tire, and the bus. The tags are a completely separate concept.
To be fair, the far more frightening thing is that someone can take out a base full of nuclear missiles with a backhoe and a bottle of Jager.
Now we know what those Chilean miners were really up to.

Good, Fast, Cheap
Pick any two.
Which two are Linux?
