Do you think that something different is going on in the UK? I hope not, cause the point here is that... he's doing the same shit that happens in the US. Find in their favor, retire, and go work for them...
Microsoft upgraded IE and caused all those IE6 sites to not work properly in newer versions of the browser so the issue had to be addressed regardless of outside influence.
Microsoft killed IE6, not anyone else. It wasn't until Microsoft killed it that anything else changed.
Having embedded both Gecko (mozilla's rendering engine) and WebKit into various applications, it doesn't take any sort of silly thinking to understand why they picked WebKit.
Gecko is a fucking mess that no self respecting programmer will get with in half a billion miles of. It is a shining example of how to write shitty code. It is in fact the most bloated, buggy, confusing pile of shit I've ever had the dis-pleasure of working with.
WebKit is far from a trivial beast to work with, but its a HTML layout engine, which is a non-trivial task. WebKit makes sense and was 'designed', not thrown together by idiots who should have been fired in 2000 from netscape.
Management was certainly involved, but I'd bet a weeks pay that none of the developers involved even gave Mozilla a second thought. The first glance at the code base makes it clear that the Mozilla project is not something you really want to be involved with unless you want to learn how 'to do it wrong' by example.
While I recognize this is not military quality, but for under a grand I can easily build a self navigating aircraft capable of carrying all sorts of surveillance and bombs such as Molotov cocktails. I may not get days of flight time, but I bet I can come pretty close on my first try. I don't even have to do any real work, just combine my existing R/C modeling skills with some parts from diydrones.com. The hardware is cheap, comes with software thats pretty solid from the start and easy as hell to extend.
I can not possibly imagine there is a real reason for ridiculous expense other than government waste. The only time any of my aircraft have crashed in the last 10 years is because I literally flew them into the ground (or lake as I've been doing seaplanes recently), not because of some sort of 'mishap'. In every case had I not been trying extreme maneuvers it never would have happened.
Of course you do, at the hearing to determine your guilt or innocence. This is not for that hearing. This is for the hearing to determine if the US meets the extradition requirements. There is a good chance he won't even make a real statement at that hearing as the judge isn't supposed to decide anything other than did the US meet NZ requirements for extradition. He can't really 'defend' himself here as there is nothing to defend. The judge will look over the charges and evidence provided by the US and make a decision as to if it seems to be valid. The judge could think the evidence prove Kim is innocent of all charges, but that is entirely irrelevant as long as the US met the requirements for extradition. Note: Its unlikely that the judge would feel he is innocent based on evidence and still allow him to go, obviously but from a legal stand point it is possible.
True. Servers didn't violate copyright. But thats not what this is about. He's not being prosecuted for uploading it himself. He's being prosecuted for knowingly and intentionally facilitating copyright violations FOR PROFIT. In fact he ENCOURAGED IT.
We also go after weapons dealers who don't follow the law and facilitate crime as well. For instance, a gun store owner encouraging people to buy his guns to commit murder would be charged with all sorts of things if someone actually went out and did it.
If the gun store owner does his job properly, doesn't sell to people that he shouldn't, runs background checks and doesn't encourage people to commit crime, and if he sees crime in progress he alerts authorities or otherwise tries not to let it continue, then he's not going to have an issue if he's gun store sells a gun that kills someone.
Heh, this got modded as flamebait... awesome. Good to see slashdot is overcome by 12 year old warez tools who think engineering criminal activity for your benefit should be legal and is good for the world.
The proof is so strong in this one that it doesn't even need to be shown? Is the U.S. argument that proof is so "obvious" that no one needs to see it
And he will, at the trial, just like everyone else. So he doesn't have the ability to manipulate context in such a way that makes it appear different than it is.
I am not familiar with New Zeland laws, but in U.S., that's not a valid argument.
It most certainly is a valid argument. Judges regularly do things to prevent lawyers from dragging things out for years via bullshit tactics.
This isn't law and order, its the real world. You don't generally actually get to use retarded technicalities to get off with a few exceptions where the technicality was created intentionally to get defendants an escape plan against a corrupted situation.
The court ruled that a summary of the evidence was enough to go to trial and that Kim isn't going to be allowed to tie the case up 'looking at evidence'.
Your post is ignorant and shows you utterly fail to understand how this stuff works.
Requiring a global CA to sign a ssh key would in no way make it less secure. It can't. If it could, the whole system is broken even without the CA's involvement. The CA is just another verification factor.
The CA simply says 'the host key that you're getting from the host is one we have verified them to be allowed to use, and you can tell because here is our stamp of approval in a cryptographically secure way'. That is no different than you putting your stamp of approval on it by typing Y.
To further your ignorance, you're trying to claim that CAs are worse than you seeing a random hex string in front of you and just typing Y. Everyone involved knows that you aren't actually verifying that finger print for the host you get presented with.
The CA is only 'intentionally less secure' if you're a paranoid nutjob that doesn't realize a CA exists based on its reputation, while there have been issues, they still have a reputation that keeps them in business, so they aren't fucking up THAT bad. Even in that case, the CA isn't actually less secure any more than the unicorns that prance around in your penguin porn fantasies are real.
You utterly fail to understand the problem with self-signed certs. There is absolutely NO security increase in a self-signed cert that you have not manually verified. If you claim you verify all the self signed certs you used than everyone reading is going to know you're a liar so don't try that bullshit. So in effect you have demonstrated that you, through your own ignorance and the fact that you think you aren't ignorant on this subject have been the one to lower your own security.
You have no idea what you're talking about, just shut up.
So it isn't secure boot or Microsoft that actually prevents Linux from booting on these machines, its Linus and you guys that do it to yourself.
You realize no one else in the world outside the Linux community is going to feel any sympathy for you right? You're just making yourselves look selfish and self important.
What you call invented, I call failed at accomplishing.
Punk was 'invented' because too many kids were told by mommy they were special so when they got rejected because they aren't actually capable of playing, they just ignored it and played anyway. Turns out a bunch of kids who also aren't nearly as special as their parents told them they were ALSO ended up thinking ti was great to be around others who felt the world wasn't fair to them.
Punk is just a manifestation of spoiled brats who didn't stop playing when someone informed them they sucked.
I can't think of a single programmer on the planet that has ever memorized pi out to some ridiculous number of decimals.
I've been doing OpenGL games for a while now, I can't even remember more than 2 decimal places. At about 4 decimal places, it doesn't matter any more for anyone except for perhaps NASA and the LHC peeps, so memorizing that sort of string of numbers indicates you're an extremely inefficient individual.
What programming environment are you working in that doesn't have define/const/builtin for Pi requiring you to memorize it?
The development lead from Photoshop must be pretty crappy then. The product and what it is now compared to what it was 15 years ago seems to agree with my assesment, but the reason I say it now is simple.
With enough abstraction, photoshop is 2 lines:
Object b = new Photoshop(); b.Go();
Of course, thats a fucking stupid way to think about it.
This applies to ORIGINAL ASSIGNEES, of which no company can be since patents are only issued to PEOPLE NOT COMPANIES.
The original ASSIGNEE can take advantage of this law, NO ONE ELSE can, not even his own company if he assigned it to his own corp. He still could, but the company itself could not, nor can any other company he assigns the patent to.

No, Chrome is the Google branded closed source version of Chromium, which is the open source browser tied to Chrome. ChromeOS is the OS.
As is traditional of tech companies, the names they chose are confusing and retarded to anyone who doesn't follow tech religiously.
Right, because they exact same thing wouldn't happen with 'the community' in charge.
THERE ARE ALWAYS CONFLICTS, even in your fantasy hippie commune. Not everyone gets what they want in the real world.

Changing evidence doesn't require physically changing evidence, simply changing its context can change its meaning entirely.
Ask O.J. Simpson.
No it didn't.
The court ruled that a summary of the evidence was enough to go to trial and that Kim isn't going to be allowed to tie the case up 'looking at evidence'.
They just stopped one of his stall tactics.

NOAA is a government agency and therefore exempt. Didn't even bother to read the entire summery I see.
Because in a year he'll pay 15.99 for crysis 3, all 8 dlc packs and some steam special perks.
This is far better than 59.99 now for the game with its bugs before they patch the shit that should never have been released.

Thats fucking awesome :) Cheerleader with a programming trophy, thats one of those things that you have to look back on like a sitcom moment.
When you're naming countries, American means USA. It doesn't mean south america, not even in spanish, because south america isn't a fucking country.
You're just a douche trying to make things out of context sound stupid to further you're retarded 'americans are so self centered' ignorance.
No one uses that word, except pretentious assholes pretending to be something they aren't, worldly.
