  7. Re:Old Applications on Microsoft Pitches LUA Security Repository · · Score: 1
    The implementation of LUA on Vista has these features to aid LUA apps that I am aware of

    1) If LUA is not enough it prompts you to enter your password for more privileges

    2) When programs running in LUA try to create files at system level. They are allowed to do so but these are virtual folders that appear to as system file/folder for the program but reality aren't so

    3) Even registry particularly the LOCAL MACINE part has a similar feature.

  9. stocks vs song comparison not good on Digital Music Stock Market? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    1) The stocks offered to public by a company are limited.

  17. The police is not totally at fault on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 1
    This is what happens when a law is ambiguous.

    According to India Information Act "publishing, transmitting, or causing to publish any information in electronic form, which is obscene." is a criminal offense.

    Now the "causing" part could mean anything anybody from the actual poster to ISP to CEO of a website. The Indian police interpreted it a certain way.

    I have heard that this confusion is causing some concern among cybercafé owners as they are afraid that they can be held for "causing".
