Yahoo is set to launch its first formal bug bounty system after Swiss pen testers complained about the $12.50 vouchers offered for locating XSS vulnerabilities
In other words, Yahoo realized since word got around how lame their rewards were for reporting security vulnerabilities people were more likely to start looking to see how much more they could get selling them to the bad guys instead.
With the FTC closed, can patent trolls prevent the importation of electronics from the Chinese companies contracted to produce them for American companies supposedly infringing on lame software-related patents?
I bought an XBox360 controller, too. But I opted for a wired one (no battery hassles, lower latency, cheaper). Nine feet is long enough for cord length for me.
I just thought the whole idea of this is Steam wants to go at it with their own hardware, so they want their own controller, too. But they're introducing something that's not really going to work as "their controller" because it's too drastic a departure in design.
Most of the games I've played by controller expect that you'll be using an XBox360 controller, so the game is set up expecting you to have the same types of controls and buttons in the same locations for two-handed operations. Drastically changing what and where everything is will only result in a controller that is unusable for most of the games it was created for.
If the car is still running the police would say "yes". Think of drunk-driving laws. There are areas were sitting in a parked car can still get you a "operating under the influence" citation if you don't have the vehicle turned off and the keys for the car out of reach.
Also, it can't be possible these "parents buying the game with kids on tow" are buying the game for themselves never intending to let their child play it, too.
Just like when a family is at the store and buys beer as part of their weekly grocery shopping -- they must be letting their children drink.
Facebook posts are people talking about their lives, which in themselves are pretty mundane for most people. Facebook is working on an AI to find the meaning of these posts.

"What's a runtime environment?" asked the user, "I want to download Java."
You wouldn't want to download the entire development kit, to answer your question. But if I go to the page the parent post mentions I'm confronted with several links, and the most obvious links are the two square buttons ("Java Download" and "Netbeans Download"). Java Download takes you to the page I linked at the end of my post.
How is the end user supposed to know they should go down and of the three links below click the download button under the "JRE" heading? What's JRE? See where I'm going with this?
Can someone please explain why people say there's a toolbar in the Java installer? I have always gotten the JRE/JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and have never encountered such a thing. Am I the only one who knows these even exist?
Most people just get it from the home page, and that's a different installer. Remember, a large number of people who get Java only do so because Pogo tells them to. For those people this is "surfing the internet". And they're going to click the first search result, which is that same installer. Yeah, your page is the third result, but they will ask "Is 'Java SE' the same as 'Java'?" and they'll skip it.
When the consumer version automatically notifies you of an update, the updater has the same type of installer (with the tag-along software), so you have to uncheck the option every time you update Java now.
Sometimes I wonder if people have making life more difficult for themselves just to give them something to rant about.
More difficult like digging through a tech-net website looking for a installation program, and coming to this page (which would intimidate any non-techy person)?
Apparently the shipbuilders for Oracle's boat didn't see the little checkbox to turn off "Install Kingpost PC (personal craft) speedup" before they agreed to the blueprints.
What if you kept two hidden partitions (with a few fake financial record documents or something in one), and only gave them the key to the decoy hidden partition? They would think you've given them the access to the hidden data then, right?
(yes I can see this potentially becoming an arms race where the border agents always assume you have one more partition than you've given them access to).
I had to go check FTA to see what the date on it was -- the 30th. So BT is really only giving people 2 days notice that it's ending their Internet service?
Gee, thanx Microsoft and Google, for doing something..
Where were the Champions of Justice when these requests first started coming to you? I see. It's different now that you've been exposed to the public as cooperating in all this.
Besides the larger flat design not being pocketable, the new 2DS is also missing a great feature of the clamshell design from the AdvanceSP, DS, etc... the screen and main control button protection a clamshell design gave you. Unless you were really picky about the outer casing getting any scratches it essentially was it's own protective case. Now we'll have to work about scratched screens again.

So eating irradiated seafood, for possibly decades, is counted in that 'safest' statistic?
I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Yes, because all the Star Wars properties where done at exactly the same time. They just waited years to release the latter parts for dramatic effect.

I don't know about you. But in my 21st century the HDMI port produces both video and audio.
Whoever ends up buying the blackberry name will when the enterprise game.
The enterprise game has already started. It's a matter of how they'll make use of the Blackberry name, not when.

I'm slightly amused the Yahoo icon on this story has a transparent background.
Argh! All out of mod points.

I would have added a (coincidentally) into the summary at that point to make people double check before posting that the conversion was wrong.
Not quite, I think this is related, though.

I thought it was to build roads, sanitation and the basics of civilization. Your local mafia does that?
For Sanitation, they do in New York. Look into:
United States v. Franco, et al.
United States v. Giustra, et al.
United States v. Lopez
Indictments handed down last January in a case involving the mafia becoming entwined in the commercial waste disposal industry.

Ah, thanks.
I looked at the article, but I didn't read it cause, ya'know...

Maybe they *are* the iphone 5C...

Sorry, had a Charlton Heston moment there.
