Personally I think some kind dock like interface would be interesting. Something that merges permanent bookmarks, live tab pages, cached history, rss feeds, stuff I've marked to read later etc. All into one great big tree structure. With simple bookmarking (like pinning it), deletion / closing.
The current tab model keeps all the layout information in memory. While I might currently use a tab to keep something around as a kind of short lived bookmark, I don't really care if the state of the page is serialized to cache and dropped from ram. I just don't want to fetch it from the net when I go back to it.
Lots of ISP's already run a transparent proxy to redirect port 80 traffic through their cache. Adding a MITM SSL proxy to this setup would be trivial if all clients blindly trusted the connection.
Where I currently work, if we encounter a bug with a trivial enough fix, we'd just fix it. Especially if you are already working on that section of code for another reason. Though this way the fix would only be released in the next major version.
If the bug is serious enough and might impact any existing clients we'd immediately raise a change request to track it and ask our client management / support staff if each client needs it fixed. (This is a pretty large software system with about 20 installations).
If the fix is too complex we might raise a change request to resolve it later when time allows, but now that we know about the issue, the next person to touch that code might fix it as well.
Wave is a new protocol. Google should have focused more on releasing a point and click install for running your own private server when they announced it.
So why not just hash the netmask and mac together perhaps with a salt value to generate your stateless address. That should give you the same low risk of collisions, while giving you a different address on each network and not exposing any identifying information to remote hosts.
the shareholders, most of which are common Australian families, will get something out of it
That's the only reason I can see for the high value of this agreement. There's still the problem of getting fibre from the exchange to the street (or whatever local level...). We should have never sold the physical tunnels to telstra in the first place. I don't know why we're paying them for anything else. By the time the NBN is "finished" there shouldn't be too much left of their existing equipment.
On a somewhat related note, I wonder how big a fish you'd have to be to get wholesale access...
Splitting telstra into retail / wholesale is a good idea.... but we just sold the thing for about $20b, and now we're buying back the wholesale half at the same time we're going to replace the infrastructure anyway?
And why on earth would the viability of the network be in question without telstra's customers? Surely a faster / better built fiber network would have a queue of customers beating down their door?
No, I meant you'd have low gravity sucking the liquid down, while you could move the whole telescope a much shorter distance north or south on the moon to aim it at another target.
And yet how many times has microsoft "fixed" a vulnerability by band-aiding over *one* instance of an exploit while leaving many other related attack vectors wide open?
You don't need anyone else to jump into the market. There are usually a bunch of orders sitting there to buy below the last price, or sell above it. If you are desperate to buy, you can take the lowest price offered by a current seller and vice versa.
The thing that spiked the market was a huge sell order that picked up all the existing buy orders and dropped the last traded price all the way down. Then some automated systems saw that they could buy at this new low and jumped in as well, pushing the price rapidly downwards.
If there was a delay in the system, where everyone could see this huge sell off in the system for a while before it went through. I imagine a large number of traders or automated systems would jump in and try to pick up a bargain before the price had a chance to move very far at all.
The first buy and sell trade orders entered into the system at the same price starts three timers, say at 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
Up until the first timer, the orders can be cancelled with no penalty. But after that all observers can see that a trade at that price *will* go through the system.
Any new trade order entered at that same price resets the second timer.
When either of the last two timers elapses the trades at that price settle.
Which ever group of buyers or sellers is larger has a random lottery to see who gets to trade at that price.
With various optional settings for any trades that didn't settle to move their order up or down to the next price as appropriate.
The original crackers are honest and trustworthy for the most part. They feel they have a reputation to uphold among their peers.
However there are a number of unscrupulous people who will take one persons crack, re-brand it as their own and include malicious code. You should still be careful and wary of downloading and executing any old program claiming to be a crack off the internet.
Sure, ask questions. Lots of questions. But you also need to demonstrate that you absorb and apply any answer you are given. And you need to demonstrate that you can learn on your own.
As a graduate, when you start working you are probably going to be a burden on the company you are joining. It will probably take someone more time to guide you though implementing a solution, than it would take them to do it themselves.
While it's important to ask questions to increase your understanding. You should be able to point out the things you have tried while trying to find the answer yourself.
There's nothing more annoying than a coworker that is still asking the same questions, who doesn't demonstrate that they can apply the things you are teaching them, or who makes you feel like you are doing their job for them.
Then again Australia didn't really go into the GFC with a lot of debt to begin with. Debt is only one of the factors, economic growth is also where Australia is beating almost all other first world nations.
Governtment debt? No. Personsal debt? Hell yes. In fact our government has encouraged us to massively increase our personal debt with their "First Home Owners Grant". That's the only thing that has kept us out of major trouble... so far.
Until our debt fueled property bubble collapses and we start dealing with our personal debts, our economy is no better than a ponzi scheme. Do not look to Australia's economy for the panacea that will cure the world's ills. Our economy is just as bad as yours, but like Wile E. Coyote, we haven't looked down yet to see how far we must fall.
The real counterfitters that we citizens need to be worried about are the banks issuing too much credit and inflating the value of our money away.
Fixed.
The empirical evidence shows that banks create credit first, then the Fed prints the money afterward.
As much as Bernanke tried to inflate us out of this financial crisis by printing money. His effort is insignificant compared to the amount of credit that is being destroyed. The biggest problem the worlds economies currently face is the deflating power of credit destruction.
Personally I think their real problem is the number of seats they have. They should just drop 2 positions in their next election and this will never come up again.
How many times has the tax code been translated into an application where the end user inputs their assumptions and the software tells you what happens next.
AC2's DRM was vulnerable to replay attacks. Capture every possible challenge / response and you can fairly easily reproduce it. But what if each response was encrypted or hashed and included a salt value or date stamp? There's heaps of simple cryptographic techniques that can make this kind of DRM a heck of a lot harder to break. And may protect the game from cracking for long enough to justify it's existance.
I once thought I might have been banned since I couldn't update or play any games. Turns out my PC had a rootkit that was interfering with TCP connections, and steam didn't like that very much.

In Australia, XXXX is a beer. Since obviously we get so drunk we can no longer spell beer.

I tried printing a wave once and because of the silly scroll bar (on firefox) all I got was the visible content.

Because there's no money in cleaning it up
If you can cheaply and easily separate the oil from the water, surely you can recover some money by collecting it and processing it.
