So how are traces of former life, or a few bacteria that haven't colonized Mars in eons going to be more beneficial for man?
How is finding one or a few life forms going to help humanity? Especially compared to trying to get known bacteria to grow there, producing oxygen & nitrogen, starting down the road of making it habitable for humans.
Why? Because you compared IE exploits being similar on different platforms, for a different browser. Including one platform that is curated, and one platform that is peer reviewed.
And then you say that a couple of apps on one platform, which were promptly pulled (unlike the IE exploits that keep happening) are examples that will keep happening - on both platforms.
Ok, good point. But since we don't have the ability to smash comets & asteroids into anything, much less a specific planet, why not at least start sending up types of bacteria to get things started.
ICBMs can get there, so remove the nukes & put a large container of different types of bacteria, and fire away. Send them all over the planet - cold, hot, moist, dry areas.
Unless you have a better practical solution for terraforming than putting bacteria into the ecosystem. Which has already proven effective. But as you say, on a large time scale.
Every fake AV pop I've seen is from IE being the underlying display system in Windows. So I don't think this would happen in Linux or Mac or any handset except WP7.
But in a practical sense, who the fuck cares? If the point of this mission is to help humanity, why not start preparing Mars for humans now?
Whether life was once there, still is there, never was there isn't really useful data. Useful data is what bacteria can/will live there to help make oxygen, nitrogen, etc.

I'm pretty sure an old ICBM with a good flight bath could be used. It's not like I'm talking about sensitive equipment. Hell, just put two large glass containers in the tip, one with bacteria and one with water/food. Let them break & mix on impact.
Here's a question. Why haven't we already sent large pods of photosynthesizing/oxygen producing bacteria or rugged desert plants to at least see if it's feasible.
iOS is 3+ years old (June 2007). It's had an SDK for 2.5 years (Mar 2008) Android is 1.5 years old (April 2009). It's had an SDK for 1+ year (Sept 2009)
Why do they need another year or two? Or are you just spewing made up BS?
So, you're going to train everyone, every time a new attack vector/ad/clickbomb comes around?
Rather than tell them not to bank online (Are you fucking kidding me?!?!), try telling them if they want to be secure and not have their bank info stolen/cleaned out, then don't use Windows/IE. Since that is what EVERY scam uses. You can argue that using other platforms will have this eventually, but no others do right now. You can argue that Windows is more secure than others, but no other OSes have this scam. You can argue that Windows is more common/well known/familiar, BUT NO OTHER OS HAS THESE SCAMS.
A car analogy: If the Crown Vic was a horribly unreliable car and could kill them if they used the turn signal wrong, you'd never let them buy it. Why would you let them get robbed by using Windows/IE?
A few years ago, work did an AD conversion companywide. They hired a MS guy to go to each site, work with IT on scripts, etc to tie each machine in.
I remember talking to him about iPod vs Zune and iPhone vs Zune Phone. He assured me that the next version of each was going to practically put Apple out of business. I tried not to snicker too loudly.

So posing questions about why we're not already terraforming Mars in an article suggesting permanently sending people to Mars is bizarre.
Understood. You're a dickhead.
Yeah, that was an innocent comment.
Gee, these platforms that have existed for several years now are SURE to have exploits just like Windows does. Any day now!
You're a douchebag and just can't admit it.
Really?

Your guess is flat out Bull Shit.

You're going to have to provide sources to make that sort of wild claim. Otherwise, you're full of shit.
The only 'worm' I've seen in the wild is one that runs on jailbroken iOS, with SSH installed, with the default root password.
Bizarre? Seriously? The fine article is about sending people to Mars. Why not talk about how to make Mars more habitable for those people?
BTW, objects in our solar system are *not* the only hope of finding extraterrestrial life.

As I said above:
Yes, that's an interesting question.
But in a practical sense, who the fuck cares? If the point of this mission is to help humanity, why not start preparing Mars for humans now?
Whether life was once there, still is there, never was there isn't really useful data. Useful data is what bacteria can/will live there to help make oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
Which is exactly how open source is supposed to work. And it's not like Apple hasn't put massive resources back into Webkit.
Let me know when KHTML is shipped on a phone...
Ok, point taken. every AV scam. instead of every scam.
Yes, that's an interesting question.

flight *path*. It doesn't really need a bath.

Who's it going to hurt?
They've already had a year or two.

This would be more helpful.

Sorry, I don't see Ballmer being that zen/good/clued in.
Do Office 2010 or Win7 either do anything fundamentally different than their predecessors? No. (Especially not an ignore button...)
And your car analogy is apt. And why I have a 1995 car that still drives fine.
If it's an ICBM, it can go a long freaking way. Like thousands of miles.
But functionally, ie what you can actually do, it isn't any different than a menu bar, just a different representation of the same actions.
And, thus, nothing different.
I'm thinking under-anal-ized...
I know you're being facetious, but just to stop others early.
Ribbon bar == menu bar on vague icons, that change & move around. ie no functional difference.
