Here I go with another reverse cowgirl theory. If cops want to catch drunk drivers, then get more cops or improve the ways to catch them or increase visible policing. Removing some app from an iPhone isn't going to stop people driving drunk. How ridiculous... If I was too drunk to drive, I'd be too drunk to use my phone to look up road blocks. If they're that worried build in some simple sobriety test, like solving some simple 5 * 7 + 13 math puzzle... Or decrease the supply of donuts to the police force.

Perspective:
Here's a different way to think about the entire debacle. Some people say piracy deprives others of profit. Others say it doesn't. The end result is always the same. Some greedy megacorporation (record labels, motion picture creators, the government) etc will try to "block" the site[s] in question...
Argument:
My argument is, what is the point? Block it all you like, someone will just find a way around it, create a new site, in an endless cycle. The "problem", if there even is one, is in the minds of the people... Why buy when I can get it for free? -or- I won't watch/listen to this avi/mp3 unless it is free.
Determination:
There are always going to be pirates, there is always going to be piracy. The problem is greed and money. As long as there is money, people with low amounts of money are going to attempt to find ways of obtaining materials with less money or no money.
Solution:
Tor? Host megaupload on a.onion? Decentralize the entire web? Why not?! Put powerful webservers on the tor network. Make Tor the defacto standard. Make companies host their sites on onions. Make companies depend on Tor. Then, Tor will expand. And it won't be taken down because companies use it too for their sites. Then we can squash the pesky net neutrality problem at the same time. ISPs can't block Tor, or they'd block the whole Tor, and all the companies using it. "It won't work!" you say. "There's not enough support, other than a few geeks and nerds!". Well now... Firefox was the product of a few geeks and nerds... look where Firefox is today. The time is coming to oppose these governments and companies who think they can control us. To hell with them. It is our right to do what we want online!
I believe that, in a company with OS rollout cycles of 2 years or more like Microsoft, 1 week is considered 0-day, given the frequency with which the average home user updates their OS with patches.
I am not here to troll/bash in general, but I quite like Windows 7. So far IMHO its the best Windows version released to date, and I haven't heard of many bugs and crashes and vulnerabilities, besides this one.
Windows Vista is to Windows 2000 as Windows Me is to Windows 98. Windows 7 <3:)
okay, i'm going to just state facts about my career, and let you guys draw your own conclusions.
Fact: i am well-experienced in PHP, ASP.net, C/C++, SQL, Html, JavaScript. I can code in Python/Django, I know VB6 and VB.net pretty well. I am coding an MMO, and I use Lua as a scripting language ingame (like WoW). I can even write batch files. I am a programmer from birth basically, coding since as far back as I can remember. Latest is Ruby on Rails, which I am finding really fun; training myself up there to get involved in the job market for Rails.
Fact: I don't have a degree. Just some lameass 1 year college "Computer Science" diploma. It's not highly rated.
Fact: I get turned down by some companies (many) because I don't have a degree. The larger the company, the higher the chance of being turned down due to lack of qualifications. Smaller companies don't seem to care for degrees. Why? Because degrees equate to larger salaries.
Fact: Education institutions are sponsored. Many of them by Microsoft. In my country, a Computer Science Degree leaves you an ASP/Microsoft baby. Because Microsoft sponsors them. True educational freedom comes from learning what you want.
Fact: Very few educational institutions are going to teach you Ruby on Rails, for example.
Opinion: Degrees are for coding in the corporate ratrace. Self-tutoring is for true hardcore coding ninjas.

it's not an exploit. you cannot call it that because its a beta product. Beta products have bugs. its the same as a test driver saying a car is crap because feature is not correct. By downloading and using chrome, you submit to being a beta tester. if you're going to go around spreading negative publicity about a beta product that you are technically a tester of, in order to improve it, then you're a moron. call me a flametroll. just don't come post "0day sploits" about a beta product, because thats retarded.

Okay.
If I may be so bold.
This is where it's at:
Windows has something call Dynamic Link Libraries (aka DLL's)
The aim of a DLL is to share code amongst processes. So if Chrome's multiprocess model loads the same DLL multiple times, it maps the DLL's code into the address space of the calling process. Let's pretend for the sake of argument that the rasterization DLL is 10 megabytes large. This means that the shared 10mb DLL is shared between all the processes, and that in fact you should be measuring the shared DLLs. Just because Task Manager (or similar tools) measure 6x50mb processes, this does not mean that each process is physically consuming 50mb of RAM. It means it has 50mb mapped to it. Windows (and any sufficiently advanced operating system with delay-load code systems) follows a scheme called Reference Counting, where a DLL is loaded when referenced the first time and a counter incremented that says "hey, now 1 process is using me"
After that, each successive process loads the DLL and also indirectly ups its reference count. When all processes that load the DLL end, the DLL remains loaded in memory until the OS garbage collects it.
One must always question the tools he uses to measure the efficiency of programs. What you really want is to see the difference between process-local and process-mapped heap allocation statistics, as this is a truly accurate count of memory usage.
Furthermore; IE8 is in beta. Chrome is in beta. And before all you firefox fanbois go off about "yeah but look at firefox's memory use when it was in beta!" I have one thing to say: Firefox is based on netscape. Which has been a little out of beta for more than 5 years. (probably in excess of 10 years). Chrome is new. And HIGHLY feature-packed. and it is NOT bloated. just because there's a high memory use report in a task manager, this does not mean that the use is high. I'm disappointed in you guys, I thought this was a geek forum, where people question everything?
His extradition is typical of people trying to dispose of what they do not understand or feel threatened by similar to the witch burning of ages ago.

It's sad you should get guilted by friends to stop something you clearly enjoy and are good at because of silly society rules:/
Finally a decent anti-spamming utility. There's been a lot of hype around this product and it is not out of place. I like the way its (at least partially) integrated to clam(win?). I still feel it wont be long for spammers to find ways around this tool... but for now, great, im definately using it.
With any luck, there will be some innovation taking place rather than just shoving KDE onto a cellphone. A few things make me wonder:
1. Is this an appropriate GUI system to be using in such memory-deficient devices? I believe we we find out soon...
2. What bothers me about an X system is that it is targetted at client-server, and the resultant code bloat may prove hazardous to an embedded implementation. I do however that an open-source-based solution should be used (why re-invent the wheel).
3. What sort of licensing and commercial rights do a company possess, given the fact that they are using open-source commercially?
I did RTFA. My point was that people reading the initial slashdot post may be inclined to think that the article implies that saving money using OSS is merely a pipe dream. And while typically, in my country at least, staff costs to maintain open-source systems are generally double the cost of Microsoft-based staff, the cost savings of using for e.g. Gentoo as opposed to for e.g. Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.
I must say that saving money is a major benefit to a geek starting his own company for example, as he already knows how to administer linux-based systems, but when you scale up to huge corporates the cost savings are not as vast in percentage as opposed to up-starts.
