Soft/volumetric particles have been around for a long time now. The DirectX 10 sample implementing this technique is from June 2006. NVidia's whitepaper on it [1] is dated January 2007. Both of them offer a much better explanation than TFA with its crude ascii diagrams and wall of text (and having to click "next" a bunch of times, ugh).
Yes, that's the point - but even for regular non-terrorist stuff, the overwhelming majority of criminals in Japan are, surprise, surprise, Japanese nationals. Foreign crime just gets more attention for some reason (easier to blame, I guess...?)
...for all of us gaijins going home for the holidays! Needless to say, I'm not pleased.
Bonus points for this idiot minister using a bullshit "a friend of a friend is in Al Quaeda, therefore all foreigners are dangerous" claim to justify this crap.
No matter how good those "rejected ideas" are (and I doubt that Google would be rejecting them out of principle if they were truly good or groundbreaking), no startup made of geniuses will ever be a threat to any of the giant companies, let alone Google. If there ever was such a startup, one of the giants, most likely Google itself, would rush to buy it back the moment it started looking promising (see youtube and the like).
As a foreign student living in Japan, I have to say you're overreacting way too much.
Overstaying your visa, working under the table (especially Americans teaching English), etc is very common over here. The police generally don't give a fuck (and can't), unless they want to make an example of you like for this Chinese guy. Channeling millions of yen out of the country, legally or not, is one of the things that WILL piss them off.
ps. Nice ad hominem there on the internets, good job. "Durr hurr hurr you must be American lololol."
pps. I'm not American.
What a fancy and pretentious name for a manga cafe.
These are all over the place, nothing special, and a good cheap way to spend the night if you missed the last train or don't have a hotel. You get your own cubicle with internet access or a console, you can read manga or watch a movie or surf the net, whatever. Plus free refills for soft drinks.

I'm not even remotely familiar with the DS so I can't add anything to that part. But quit spreading misinformation. The GP2X is an awesome little machine and it's great how it encourages homebrew development, but don't claim that it's more powerful than the alternatives when it isn't! Specifically, the lack of hardware 3D acceleration is the major drawback that I see.
Maybe it's a bit ironic that sometimes exploits like this can be considered "good" - for example, just recently a buffer overflow vulnerability in libtiff opened up the way to running homebrew code on the PSP 2.0 firmware. Of course, Sony patched up the hole in the next update.
Fortunately, PSPs aren't getting remmotely compromised over the internet (yet?...) Windows boxes are a whole different story, though:)
Unless they have ftp access to the server, they can't do anything genuinely malicious - that's mentioned in the linked bugreport.
One thing they can do is make it include../index.php - throwing the server into an infinite loop. Hammer that url a couple of times and you have yourself a mini-DoS attack. (php will time out after 30 seconds of including the same file over and over, probably)
It's an exploit for a third party PHP project someone has written. Not a core vulnerability in the language. I'd wager that about 95% of PHP vulns are the fault of idiots who write crap like this:
Yeah I bet that will go over real well. Just imagine.

Sierpinski's triangle can be obtained (for a given resolution) from Pascal's triangle if you plot a "pixel" for every odd number and a "hole" for every even number.:)

The cool thing about that program is, it's a proof-of-concept for that guy's research paper on how to generate Malbolge code that does something.

Just to add to the obfuscation, the paper is in Japanese.

You are aware that that video is a failed viral marketing campaign by Western cell phone OS vendor Symbian inc., right?
And it's pretty much a load of bullshit. Japanese phones are nothing like that.
...means you lose depth perception.
Nice gimmick, though.

Apples and oranges. You don't put mass-produced read-only media into cell phones.

It's nice but I don't see what the big deal is.

That's the game source and it's been out for years, genius.
Id is planning to release the entire engine source this time, much like they've done with Quake 1 and 2 and various other older games.
Doesn't work for me either, with 1.0.2 and Tab Mix. (yes I should be running a newer version by now)
And it's up to us to make sure he swims! Here's me doing my part:
$ for ((a=0; a<999999; a++)); do echo $a; wget http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=26712; done
And here's how to properly block the popup in firefox (I'm using 1.0.2, no popup for me from your site):
about:config
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins = 1
dom.popup_maximum = 1
If you want to be able to click links in Flash that open a new tab/window.
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins = 2
If you want to disable popups from Flash entirely.
And that would be a bad thing how...?
Not that I approve of a subscription model either... And I'll keep blocking the ads, too, thank you very much.

or perhaps used one of their .NET languages, rather than programming in straight C like the others
.NET, and I don't quite think they decided to scrap and rewrite the entire parsing engine since then :)
;)
Not likely, since IE was created ages before
As for the malformed HTML, it didn't crash my firefox, but I'll try again a couple of times just in case

Now those are real vulnerabilities, I'll give you that :)
Fortunately they're patched in recent versions - obviously, with enough common sense PHP (and probably ASP.NET as well) can be kept secure.
It's an exploit for a third party PHP project someone has written. Not a core vulnerability in the language. I'd wager that about 95% of PHP vulns are the fault of idiots who write crap like this: But this vulnerability is for a third party application, and also assumes that the attacker already has ftp access to the system he's compromising.
Now I'm not saying that PHP is rock solid, but at least look at what you're linking before posting the kneejerk "PHP is insecure too!!!1" stuff.
Yeah I bet that will go over real well. Just imagine.

This horrible problem can be solved with approximately one line of bash code, or three mouseclicks in Eclipse.
