If they can do it for the UK, they are probably already doing it for someone else... India, Saudi Arabia, US??
They can - that's not the issue here.
Do they want to do this? Without a warrant it would be commercial suicide, and they can stop pretending to resist Indian and Saudi Arabian governments. UK judges cannot give out warrants I think, because how do they know which numbers are used for these riots? Only if they have caught people, then they can ask for their messages, but nothing more.
Releasing secrets is often good, as many secrets just protect the asses of corrupt vested interests. But why do we see no releases of secrets from potential threats to free societies? Like China, various idiot countries like N. Korea, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc?
Because those secrets are not in English. So it's harder to find them. You need Chinese speaking people to enter those systems. Even if their servers are linux or windows based, still you need to know where to look. So you think you can just download a user directory, or download all word-documents. True, but you still need to be on the right server. And then, if you have those documents, you need to translate them to English, to gain the attention of the West.
All those non-latin languages, forget about it if you cannot read them. English is still the language where it all happens.
Who goes to Google to find Facebook? The only Facebook-related thing Google is good for is finding the Facebook page of an individual who probably doesn't even want to be found. Google actually should ban Facebook from its search results.
You don't go to Google to find Facebook (except for those people who enter www.facebook.com in the google search bar). You go to google to find an old friend, and if this friend has a facebook account, he is probably listed in the top 5 results. How many visits do you think FB gets this way? I think a lot!
1) "After being ordered by the Belgian courts to 'remove from its Google.be and Google.com sites, and in particular, cached links visible on Google Web and the Google News service, all articles, photographs and graphics of daily newspapers published in French and German by Belgian publishers,'
2) Google had removed all traces of the newspapers in question from all its search services.
#2 is the exact thing the court ordered in #1, right?
The newspapers are still listed in Google. So they didn't remove all traces. Probably they just listed the homepage and some general pages like a contactpage or something, but they didn't remove them entirely. For instance Copiepresse. And except for those general pages, what else is there but news articles? So Google did what they requested, and now the newspapers realise that they are the losers to this case.
Because they released Flash? How about Photoshop and ImageReady for Linux?
That's the only reason I keep an XP machine...
You don't need a "machine" for that. A VM will do. I use Photoshop and Illustrator and Flash in a VirtualBox XP-VM since about a year, and it is no problem. Even a Pentium 4 can do this with enough RAM (3GB or more).
That second one is fake! I suspect the monkey wasn't there at all!!! He probably just took the picture standing in front of a print of the other picture. Please!!!!!!

Panetta, are you really that sure that you can announce this before executing those people? This sounds as a buttload of PR bullshit, or one hell of an ego who wants his 15 minutes of fame. Shut them down first, then have an interview. That's the way it should be done.
I would say that if Israel is going to survive in the long run they need to get their act together and not be a general pain in the butt for all their neighbors. Especially now since the US has an economic situation that's not very promising. What if the economic aid that the US provides Israel disappears?
If Israel wants to survive.... I hope they are going to realize that this is not the way to get there. They have stopped 200 activists this one time. Yay!!! Great for them. Do you think these protesters are going to use Facebook again? Will it stop the next group? And do you want to stop those groups?
Israel has one big problem, and that is not Palestine or Hamas. It is their mindset that they still don't realise that they need to give some space to the Palestinians. And the more they restrict them, the more resistance they will face. Actions like this show that they don't have a real vision where they want to go in the future, if they really want to have a future there.
But I thought we were still using Intel 80386SX chips in NASA cause apparently radiation hardening takes decades, but yet a consumer grade phone is fine?
The jury is still out but the devices are being looked at for non-critical tasks - the shuttle mission that just went up includes two iPhones that have been certified to go into space, and will be tested there to see how they hold out against the radiation:
Reminds me of a Dutch exchange student in middle school. The usual moron was making fun of his accent until a couple of us pointed out that said exchange student was getting an A in English while he was getting a C, even though English was his second language (of about 4).
You have to admit, it isn't a particularly flattering accent...
Three of those 4 languages are of very little use unless you don't mind being confined to western Europe. While Dutch kids spend those 12+ hours a week learning geographically confined languages like Dutch, French and German, native English speaking kids have 12+ extra hours a week to learn more useful things, and still be able to communicate more effectively and with more people than someone who is fluent in Dutch and speaks some French, German and English. American kids can take classes like art, drama, debating, literature etc. and play in the school band. Do you think kids who are forced to study three foreign languages have time for this? Worse still, try to find an adult who still knows those foreign languages (other than the same basic English half the world speaks) a few years after their graduation.
You may be correct, but probably you're not. Many people forget about those languages because they don't use them daily, that's true, but still they have a basic knowledge, which can and will be used. The same goes for those art and drama classes. Really useful (no sarcasm), but how many people use that after high school? There's probably no difference. In Europe, you go abroad a lot for holidays to France, Germany and Spain, and then you use those language skills, if only for ordering a meal or beer, but still.
I learnt English, French, German, Latin and ancient Greek, and at 28 I learnt Spanish. Only English is really good, the rest is good enough for a basic conversation and helping me out. After finishing the Spanish course, I noticed my French had improved a lot. I love to speak those languages, and enjoy it when people hear me speak French or German with such an accent that they think I'm a native speaker. And yes, my English is with a Dutch accent, although it changes depending on who I talk to.
Oh and ancient Greek? Yes, really useful when I'm in Greece, because I understand the alphabet.
...is essentially what Kogan is saying...and they're right!
I remember a Dutch tv-program that tests different consumer products (Tros Radar). They did a blind test with a bunch of HDMI-cables, from €3 to €140, with a panel of professional video-editors. They chose two cables as the best, the cheapest and the most expensive. Their conclusion was that the most expensive was probably better for the professional who had to change the cables a lot. The connector was of better quality. Then for cables longer than 5 meters, a more expensive cable could be better. Other than that, the cheapest one was as good as the others...
XP versions before SP1 would get root'd by simply having internet access.
If I run a VM (XP or something else), that VM must have a different ip-address than the host, and to have internet access, there must be some kind of router or routing system. To reach the VM from the internet, port forwarding must be configured. Maybe the host IP is directly accessible from the outside, but the VM is not. Even if no firewalls are active, there is no way that the VM can be infected simply by starting it up and giving it internet access. So for an infection to occur, you need to start a browser to visit a website that infects the OS of the VM. (And of course the host could be infected, and then spread the virus to the local network, but that's something else.)
So can you explain how this VM will be infected after it started up without doing anything else on the machine?
I have no sympathy for Wikileaks when it comes to National Defense secrets. There is a whole magnitude of difference from corporate malfeasance in these leaks.
My impression of the US diplomats has had a huge boost after reading summaries about how they reported about other countries and people. It was sharp and a lot better than I expected (looking back at eight years of Bush). I haven't seen anything yet that would seriously harm the US interest. For everything that I have read in newspapers, it only has made the world better.
So can you tell me (at least) one national defense secret that has been published and that harms the US?
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future.
Sorry. Not even close to Skype.
Google is probably very busy making those plans reality now Skype is bought by MS. Don't be surprised if they have worldwide coverage by the end of the year.
I heard you like an OS in your OS, so I put an app in your app so you can experience the reinvention of every app while you surf the web.
I'm not sure I like this trend of taking every piece of software functionality, making it work inside a browser, and then treating it like it's something new. I feel like I'm back in the 90s, where every new song on the radio was some old song sung by a new person.
Now MS has bought Skype, it's not all about technology, but also about a technology that is widespread. This has the potential to be that technology and to replace Skype.

Only if you claim its not Java...
Just turn it upside down and it becomes "enef", which could be pronounced "enough". That would fit the situation quite well I think.

Seriously? You thought I was being serious? PS: The iPad may be lightweight and thin, but it certainly is not of "poor quality construction".
The iPad lightweight? Maybe compared to this. I think it's quite heavy.
Yes, it's slower, but did they measure how much freedom it achieved?
It's like slow-food. You have to take time to appreciate it. Slow-boot, gives you the opportunity to make breakfast or something...
