I only watched the first couple mins of the video but I didn't see anyone saying there were kids or journalists in the crowd. It's too bad, but you gotta remember, these people are conditioned to kill on command. Don't blame them when they do. If you're in a war zone, it would seem to me you've already come-to-terms with the risks. *ESPECIALLY* if you have a choice about whether you could be there or not. The soldiers probably didn't.
As soon as google is out, bing will move in. Bill Gates wants to be seen as some kind of third world savior but in the end, he's just another capitalist with money to burn. Nevermind the human rights violations who Google, Dell and others are standing up against. To microsoft, it's *only* about money and always has been and I'm not surprised.
Wonder how many more US companies are going to pull out of China. First google, then godaddy, now Dell. What happens when all that China has left, is China?
Not a big deal - godaddy isn't the only domain registry out there. I wonder what other companies are going to follow suit though. Endgame I see is china eventually unplugging from the rest of the world and inventing it's own set of 'tubes.
How bout battery life? It's great having all that power, but if it only stays running 6 hours between charges it's just a desk brick. No mention of multi-touch/tasking? itards will be whining for that if you're trying to horn into the apple market.
Having a platform based/built on open standards is way more important than having some monetarily driven format underpinning everything we develop for. I don't care about efficiency; I care about being able to use the internet without having it dictated to me that I need to use a Mac, or Vista, or a special browser feature some asshat wrote that I need for my banking. The world doesn't need another microsoft. The world doesn't need another swiss-cheese plugin controlling the web so shaddap about it already.
Even if HTML5 "efficiency" sucks now, give it 6 months; it will improve. Open source evolves into a superior product because of the ability to innovate with legal freedom.
Nobody likes to see crooks get away with being crooks but keep in mind if you are championing the forced removal of content like this, then you are also championing the removal of any content deemed objectionable by a governing body.
this isn't cross-platform, it's an example of an incestuos codebase. Cross-platform means your code can cross os boundaries too. Java, python and perl are examples of cross-platform computing.
kernel based software raid or zfs gives much better raid performance IMHO. The only reason I use hw raid is to make administration simpler. I think there is much more benefit to be had letting the os govern partition boundaries, chunk size and stripe alignment. Not to mention the dismal firmware upgrades supplied by closed source offerings.
I find it fascinating just how long everyone has been putting up with the crap attitude towards security involving windows. Internet explorer has been the biggest wastes of disk space since there have been alternatives out there and it's amazing to me how many bone-headed people and developers are still insisting on using it. Microsoft must be very proud of itself.
Of course you can. You need to expand/adapt the example. One of the biggest holes in sql queries is allowing backtics (0x60) and/or semicolons (0x3B) to be passed straight-through. If you *need* those characters, then subject input containing those characters to extra scrutiny in your code. Eliminate potential input conflicts all together if you don't intend to be working with it.
It's better to get a call about intentional failure of your code, rather than that of *unintentional* failure of your code. Just ask Nokia*
Anyone that has been grep'ing server logs for the past 10 years or so knows the "cyber war" has already started. Since the late 90's bunk ingress from APNIC regions has been growing at an alarming rate. I used to wonder how the hell so many people in (seemingly) Asia had so much time to kill with all the dictionary attacks/scans. A lot of admins I know simply just drop the entire APNIC address range, but if you do biz in Asia, that's not so much of an option. The fact that the U.S. network czars are only just realizing they brought knives to the gunfight is an indication to me that the infrastructure is in for a severe corn-holing when the time comes.
From TFA: "Who wants to commit to a two-year cell contract for an Android phone when it's not clear if a better version will be out next month or if the operating system and apps you put on your Android device will be supported in the future?"
There's no guarantee that palm will ever fix it's frustrating SMTP/TLS implementation to match the RFC , or that Apple won't force every developer to DRM everything that enters the iPhone. I'm also not guaranteed that I'll ever be spyware free on Windows, or that Microsoft won't shut down my PC because they think it's pirated.
The article is just the same opportunistic FUD against Open Source that went around in the mid 90s. Next thing coming out of InfoWorld will be an article written by someone from the Yankee Group declaring android is infringing on copyrights. Go ahead and drink the kool-aid if you want folks. The only thing your doing is limiting your own choices down the road.
I've yet to see the majority of twitter content to be relevant to anyone but the author. Until the percentage of useful twitter content gets above 5%, getting to the point is pointless.
> why not wait until you've touched the thing to declare it a failure of a netbook without a keyboard.
Although it may be true that I like to try different *foods* before liking/disliking them, I know that I don't care to palette anything sprinkled with liberal amounts of DRM, vendor lock-in, or intentionally limited functionality. I don't need a whiff of the main course when the kitchen smells like an outhouse.

So... the chinese DNS server was using BGP? Sorry, not much of a BIND geek. Is this a reference to the Anycast protocol?

Probably get you a visit by the FBI, RIAA, and Aryan Nations in less than an hour also.

This isn't a new concept, just one that people have been removed from.
If ($QUERY_STRING > $MAX_QUERY)

print "*Boom* Check server for smoke!"
exit;

# only allow characters 0 through 9 and upper/lowercase a-z
$Input = $QUERY_STRING;
$Input =~ s/[^0-9a-zA-Z]//g;
you're drunk on the kool-aid if you think microsoft is going through all this to give kids their stolen x-boxes back. Read the wired article: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/02/microsoft-cryptome/
