The use of security advisories and patches as an indication of overall vulnerability is inherently flawed.
If nobody knows about it, why not roll all the fixes into the monthly security rollup and be done with it? Is there something to be gained by publishing blueprints for attacking their customers?
Since Munich is getting their stuff through a distributor and probably don't want to have anything to support on their own, they are probably paying for the operating systems, software packages and any "extra" support plan.
Organizations don't get the option of using something for free with NO VENDOR SUPPORT rather than paying a fee and getting a fully supported product.
Up until you try to open it's configuration dialog while already running 3 apps. That dialog might be considered an app. Norton AV's config window does how up as an app. I have to wonder if the AV's warning dialogs will be refused in such a situation too...
I found that bit of FUD from the article absolutely hilarious. NEWS FLASH: Installers running as admin can make configuration changes. Not only that, but they were going on the word of other firewall vendors who WANT PEOPLE TO USE THEIR PRODUCT. What else would they say? "Oh, nobody needs our product anymore. Windows Firewall is the 1337!" Flexbeta needs to find a clue.
Since the domain registration was apparently created in 1995 and sold to Google later, I doubt any of them could go after it using their *newer* registered trademark. I imagine Google could just use the trademark GoogleMail on the gmail.com domain if they had to.
In many states, electors are bound by the laws of those states to vote for the candidate they were sent to vote for. Granted, if they were to vote for someone else, they probably couldn't stop the vote from going through, but the elector would likely face hefty legal action. This would be true especially if it was an election deciding vote. No elector has ever switched their vote and changed the course of an election. A few have actually only done it because they thought their vote wouldn't make a difference. The first time it does make a difference will probably be the time the electoral college system receives an overhaul via constitutional amendments.
No. If they aren't trying to use a misspelling to generate traffic on an alternative site about Falwell, Falwell would have no reason to come after them.
This guy was deliberately using a misspelling to generate traffic on the back of Falwell's "trademark" to "disparage" Falwell. That is a no-no.
What if the FCC decided that an IP address in the context of VoIP was just as much a telephone number as a regular old POTS phone number? If two technologies achieve the same goal, why should I not be protected from unwanted commercial communication just because I'm using the *wrong* system?
It is similar to racketeering. However, it is probably not strictly defined as such so the government probably had to take them to civil court for it.
The situation is similar to if I'd go by the DoJ headquarters shooting out windows with a paintball gun and left leaflets saying to leave $10,000 at such and such phonebooth and I'll send them an "Anti-Paintballing Ensignia" to stop the vandalism.
Our Constitution is difficult to change to prevent legalized discrimination such as Republican Anti-Gay amendments from passing on a whim. If we could pass 4 amendments a year, we'd have the DMCA, PATRIOT, PATRIOT II, and the His Majesty George Bush amendments in the Consititution.
And the purchase manager for CompetiCorp would probably be sued into oblivion for violating some term of their contract for letting what they paid get out.
The same thing goes on in real estate when a realtor is selling identical homes. The first guy might pay $600,000 while the last guy out might have paid $800,000 for the exact same unit. Ofc, they can't even reveal what they paid until after they've signed over their soul, and that's if they can even do it then.
I suppose you also don't provide a warranty on your work. Otherwise you'd try to fix it right the first time. I wish there was a +1 Unethical Dirt Bag option.
Falling short on the last mile indeed. Verizon has over 217,000 miles of fiber optic cable running through the state of West Virginia. I don't think most of it is even being utilized as yet.
I think one benefit is that it's sometimes cheaper for the consumer to get broadband and pay a single $30-40/month rather than $20+ for a second phone line and $20+ for an ISP. This is at least how it worked out for me and the move from dial-up to 1mbit cable. In the end, I believe even more than $20 was saved after dropping the dial-up line.
I'm not familiar with DSL pricing, but I imagine the "consumer getting more for their dollar" is a huge factor.

Fedora is a steaming pile of dung AND it's unsupported. That would've been a smart move.
No, actually it it correctly used. They did get a firm grip on the deal just as one of the many definitions of cinch says. :P

I doubt capitalism is all about destroying the market so nobody, as in not even you, can compete anymore.
That is actually the word they began using to prevent the president from going apeshit over the US arsenal.
"We have a lot of nucular weapons, not those other things I can't pronounce."

Too bad Mozilla Suite has taken back seat to the separate process-based apps. Maybe Mozilla.org will rethink this strategy now?
They state that when ZoneAlarm is installed (hence suggesting the installer is running as admin), it could turn off the firewall (no shit, FlexBeta).

Change the name to GoogleMail or Gmail.com and keep using the domain, I say :P

I find it funny that we can't reuse previously broadcasted clips that are of a political nature without begging a corporate entity.

The suite is bigger and is really the one that would benefit from being patchable.
Unless ofc not using the patents is the only reason Microsoft hasn't shaken their foundation out from under them with their own patents.
"Sun has announced that Solaris 10 will comply with the Linux Standard Base specification"
By following a speification apparently.
