They're fixing PNG. After reading a bitch fest from a Safari developer about the pain in the ass *trying* to code a browser to render "standards compliant" pages *correctly*, I imagine the MS devs know wtf they're talking about when they say there are flaws.
Their stock hasn't yet hit the inevitable wall where the last guys holding the stock can't get rid of it anymore and need the value to go up. At that point the lawyers start coming out of the woodwork and the investors will revolt forcing Google to turn to the dark side.
The last people holding the paper are the ones that start demanding better performance from the company so they can offload it for a profit. When Google reaches this point, they'll be force to be just as evil as Microsoft (who would probably like to get some of their stock out of the market to reduce the number of tards screaming for stock growth even though the company is doing great).
1) We should've done the job right the first time and gotten rid of Saddam then. Leaving them there increases the risk that he just might so senile and start selling weapons to terrorists. The Russians came out with intelligence that Saddam was planning _his_own_ terror attacks on the US.
2) They attack the west because the US, Britain etc etc are in the Middle East preventing Osama from toppling non-Islamist governments and turning the region into an Islamist wonderland. If he did that, do you think he'd stop in the Middle East? Why not in Europe? Across the Atlantic? Russia, China, India? It might sound a little cliche but world domination by radical Islamists is the goal.
It doesn't bother you that these people were charged with having WMD when they most certainly did not have anything of the sort? Saddam didn't even have WMD, but he had stuff much worse than a pipe bomb or meth... like real missiles.
I'm not sure how geographic area will play for a tech company whose operations are mostly internet based and whose headquarters is in California. Does Google have any datacenters in Washington or Oregon where this guy's work might end up?
It's really funny when someone starts screaming "perm me plz perm me plz" at the end of the game because they know they're loaded with illegitimate items.
The problem is they can't get rid of some duping exploits without allowing some players to potentially lose their characters completely by refusing to restore them if they potentially become corrupted. Forcing and improper disconnection from battle.net has a similar affect on Diablo II (restore lost XP from deaths, restore items etc etc)
This is the latest gambit from Linux trolls - pretend to be Windows users "dissatisfied" with Windows or only wanting to suggest "improvements" to Windows. You see it everywhere now on the Windows boards. They give themselves away by their lack of real knowledge about what is available on Windows and how Windows works.
You take your victim as you find them (which is usually a dumb victim). If they replace the entire machine because of what you did, then your damage to them is probably going to be the cost of replacing the machine since what you did caused them to do it.
It has been suggested that it was the firebombings which decimated the Japanese workforce/cities that really brought them to the brink of surrendering. Your attitude would probably be vastly different if we had abstained from bombing and tried to invade the mainland and ended up fighting through thousands and thousands of Japanese civilians to get at the military targets in their cities. War itself is a crime against humanity, but once one commits to war, morals get jumbled up. There was no precision bombing in World War II and the only moral thing to do would've been to surrender to the Japanese if your moral code is to be followed.
Occupation does not dictate the value of a human life. Any American civilian during WWII would probably have probably considered any American soldier to be worth more than multiple Japanese at the time.
If the military tied the Emperor's hands, what better way to untie them to show the military that resistance is futile?
Can something be a war crime if it was the rule of war at the time rather than the exception? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Dresden hit simply because it was swollen with refugees for maximum casualties? At the time of World War II, normal production was converted for military purposes and would commonly be located within cities which then became targets for total destruction (why just destroy the factory when they'll just move across the street?). As it happened in Japan, a significant portion of the population worked rather directly to support the Japanese war effort. Both cities that were hit with atomic bombs were examples of such cities.
Perhaps we should round up all them World War II veterans and charge them with war crimes for crimes that had no precedent at the time? Let's execute those criminals!
Destroy cities full of citizens?? Oh my, how could they use the atomic bomb for that? How dare they!! We had perfectly usable incendiary bombs that we were already using for that purpose. The atomic bombs were not special cases of the slaughter of civilians in World War II. Both sides were already doing that with fire bombs. Nuclear bombs simply did it faster.
Demonstration? Best case scenario: Japanese see a big blinding flash. OOOOOhhhh, fireworks! But can it destroy anything? Worst case scenario: Bomb blows itself apart and fails to go nuclear and Japanese go back home laughing their asses off and prepare to slaughter the idiot Americans on the beaches.
I'd like to know what happens to Novak and Rove if the CIA walks into court and tells them that some undercovers and/or innocent civilians got bullets in the head from foreign governments because they were associated with Plume and/or her cover company.

Unless it relied on security features in Windows XP...

Indeed, the more people who own it, the more people that think they can sue on a whim for not getting their money's worth ;)
It works fine in IE. 1-bit transparency ya know.
And yet Putin claimed to have forwarded information about Saddam planning terror attacks against the US before the invasion of Iraq.

But unless they prove anything, none of that shit even matters. Put him on trial or release him.

A couple dozen infected machines in Finland can now DOS attack multiple internet back bones simultaneously. GREAT.
Have of them probably do it in the dark with their clothes on and don't even use their own sexual organs because that would be dirty.
Way to simplify Ethernet to the point of not even being Ethernet anymore. Ethernet is more than just the physical link.
People are surprised when they find out a player over level 90-92 isn't a bot in Diablo II. That tells you how bad it is.

I'm sure there were armed guards there! Surely those count, right? Right? Oh, nevermind...
