No one should be surprised at all. Everything in that/. topic that google says is going to happen has already happened. Those exploits have already been tried. This is not news. This is not a prediction. This is a newsflash that the sky is likely to be blue tomorrow.
Ubuntu GUI? Where do you get Ubuntu from? This is from the folks who make OpenSSH. And OpenSSH is made by the OpenBSD folks, not Ubuntu.
This simply makes it much easier to do what many folks have been setting up manually for a long time. I'm hoping they'll follow it up with SCP support as well. Time to buy another CD set to support the project:)
Certainly it isn't hostile towards Thunderbird but, as you said, it was just to capture markets that were unwilling to use gmail without that feature. It's not any more partial to Thunderbird than any other email client that supports IMAP. It's absolutely no reason to fund Thunderbird. They do, as I said, have a reason to fund Firefox.
And of course it is conjecture, but it was conjecture in response to another conjecture post that didn't have any logic behind it that I could find.
And no, spinning Mozilla Messaging off actually means it has the chance to finally get the attention it deserves.
Bullocks.
As far as I see, this is their chance to quietly get rid of Thunderbird without making it look like they are ditching it.
Who is the big funder of the mozilla (firefox) project now? Google. Why? So they have a nice browser to use their search engine and show their ads that MS can't set with MSN as the default search engine/ad-shower. They want everyone to have that firefox instead of IE, since Google doesn't make a browser of their own.
Now what about email? Google has gmail. They'd like you to use it so they can mine all your data, show you ads, etc. Why would they want to provide you with an email client that would get set to other mail servers as much or more often then their own? They have no interest in such an email client, and definitely no interest in funding it. Therefore, it's being pushed out of the next on it's own to find it's own funding or wither and die.
There are still many things we can learn from biology that can be translated to machines. The translations don't have to be 1:1 for us to make use of them. The way birds as well as insects make use of different shapes in surfaces during wing beats have translated into changes in some aricraft designs. They weren't directly incorporated the same way, but they taught us important lessons that we could then implement in different ways but with a similar outcome.
I think Neuroscience does have a lot to teach us about how to do AI.
Shouldn't they have thought about that before they sent it up? They knew the orbit might eventually deteriorate before the 'enemy' came up with the same technology. What if it hadn't achieved as high of an orbit as originially desired? It would have decayed even sooner. What if something had gone wrong during launch and the payload ended up landing in China? Shouldn't they have had a few pounds of C4 on the payload along with a trigger mechanism?
The 'tech on the satellite they don't want falling into others hands' theory doesn't fly at all unless the guys running things are totally incompetent.
I hate to tell you, but if someone has your machine hacked enough that they could compile and run new nasty code on it if a compiler were present, uploading a compiler to it will be very easy for them and doesn't really present a hurdle at all.
Let me get this straight, you think it's just a subtle distinction between these two?
One way they are posting all the content for the world to see, the other they are blocking content from many so that a repressive government can keep their people ignorant.
And you compare this to the washing of hands of Pilate? Are you personally sending information about the Tiananmen square massacre to every citizen in China? If not, you are just as 'guilty' of hiding information from them as Yahoo would be for posting content to the world while, knowing it might get blocked by the Chinese government's firewall.
Choice between a filtered search engine and a filtered search engine isn't a real choice about where to get truthful information. My concern isn't for the amount of workload added to the Chinese government. It's about there being a real search engine out there for them to get good information at if they can find a proxy or some hole through the firewall. If Yahoo (and Google) are willing to filter for the Chinese government to make money out of their market, what exactly is their line, and how do you know they aren't willing to (or aren't already) doing it for the Mideast, countries in the EU, or in the good 'ol USA if the Bush (or other fascist) administration decide they want to do it as well?
Sorry to be a purist about ethics, but that's just the way I roll.
If China blocks your engine, the Chinese government is the one doing the evil. You aren't.
When you filter content to keep secret anything a corrupt government doesn't want their citizens to see, in order to pacify the government and make money from the countries business, you are doing evil.
You people who design software should read up on this thing called data integrity, and enforcement of foreign key constraints.
MySQL is pretty bad at those, but if you use an innodb table and try to use them, you find it's no faster than postgresql. And still missing many many features that postgresql gives you.
Probably because too many more people would start doing it. Then when their friend/ex-roomate, etc doesn't 'give-it-back' when they are supposed to and keeps playing it and locking out the guy who paid for it, he's gonna go complaining to Valve and it's going to increase support costs for them for no real good reason.
So can folks do it already now if they really want to? Yes. Does Valve want encourage it and have to take on extra support for no extra income? I kinda doubt it.
Why in the world did he send them the drive in the first place. If I have or at any time had anything I consider sensitive on a hard drive, it NEVER goes in with the machine for repair. I take it out myself and have them test the box with a fresh drive. Who knows when you will get some snoop perusing your hard drive. Identity theft would be easy with the information available on many computer. Either back up your data and reformat (after a 7 pass rewrite) or don't give them the drive.
Most companies that sell servers have hard drive replacement policies available that let you keep the old drive with confidential data on it. No one should consider less security with their own machines.
I see you totally avoided answering the question about how you felt about paying for other shared risk such as home insurance, fire departments, police, military, etc, etc, etc.
If students have privacy concerns they can learn how to forward stuff to a POP account someplace else and delete the mail from the gmail box.
Right, because Google won't possible keep a copy in their massive we-know-everything-about-everybody-for-data-mining database. Google and privacy just don't go together.
Sorry, no. I have a relatively new cell phone. It is in no way classified a 'smart' phone. Just a regular cell phone. It's got GPS. So do the ones all my family members have. A couple years ago the standard new phone didn't have GPS, now at least half the models I saw in the store a couple months ago did.

It makes sense to me. I think if you throw a cow in an ocean, there is going to be a LOT of selective pressure to make some changes.

The topic is about Yahoo, but anyhow...

I don't see how an independent one is any better if it is doing the filtering the Chinese government wants.
With either one, the only hope of the Chinese citizen truth is to find an open proxy to connect to a REAL search engine.

It's real simple.
And even more instances where they are needed, but not known/understood by a MySQL user.

Or try to encrypt everything and take the performance hit? Blah.
Your computer could be stolen out of your home on any random day.
Take the performance hit. Encrypt anything you don't want thieves or the world to see.

"What I Like About You", the 'hit' song in debate reached #48 in the US.
"Talking In Your Sleep" reached #3.
