It really amazes me how badly some people want history to read that Apple started the computer revolution. If there is any one group responsible for starting the home computing boom, it was the Homebrew Computer Club and the advent of the Altair . Please stop trying to make Apple history happen differently than it happened. If anything, Jobs and Gates were douc^H^H businessmen and acted as such trying to screw everyone else over in order to gain wealth and power.
FTFA: security researchers from Symantec issued a report on upwards of 360,000 apps using the SecureRandom class, containing the PRNG flaw in Bitcoinâ(TM)s Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
May give a potential indication at the sheer number of applications affected by this exploit (which is programmer negligence apparently). Drilling into the Symantec article reveals how they arrived at that number.
we have found over 360,000 applications that make use of SecureRandom and over 320,000 of them use SecureRandom in the same way the bitcoin wallets did (they did not call setSeed).
so much abuse that he actually believes he was wrong
After seeing the authorized "tactics" in Abu Ghraib and Gitmo, one can only arrive at the conclusion that Manning has no idea what he believes anymore. His statement sounds like that of a man subjected to the same secret laws of justice that FISA stems from.
FTFA:signatures built on elements like account names, the timing of the account creation and browser identifiers to identify fake accounts.
It would be wise for them to beta this tech first before actually implementing it full scale. For a $360M a year practice, there will be people who will find a way around it. Everyone thought Captcha was hackproof when it first came out and that has basically mutated into a system which can be used by neither human or machine.
FTFA: "Changes in Earth's orbit today are not an important factor in the rapid warming that has been observed recently...Earth's orbit changes on the scale of thousands of years, but carbon dioxide today is changing on the scale of decades so climate change is happening much faster today."
Totally agree, but TFS does state "false and misleading information" as sustance for the lawsuit. You gotta admit, Microsoft is no stranger to bending the friggin truth.
Until someone pastes all of your Github into their complier, makes some edits and uploads to an app repo to make $10k/year on a.99 app you wrote. Yeah, that kind of sucks. Especially when your boss asks where you happened to store all of that code you've been writing for project XYZ the past year.
Don't get me wrong, Open Source is awesome (FOSS , POSS, et al) and there are far too many lawsuits about copyrights/patents these days but understand that without GPL or it's ilk, you basically have no recourse should someone use your code. Also, it's feasible that someone could take your code and claim *you* stole it from them.
Is tacking on the GPL(or equivalent) to your source code really that problematic?
"...wealth isn't the same thing as intelligence." -Larry Ellison
I don't "do" Apple but hearing Larry Ellison postulate about the future is laughable. The guy got all his money through vendor lock-in and insane licensing models. If he was that bright, he'd be more innovative.
And most of you voted for him. I hope you are proud of yourselves.
Puhleeze.. don't be dense Dude, when you are asked to eat a shit sandwich consisting of a bite on the left, or a bite on the right, the only choice you have is to look for an area where the shit is thinnest.
The Mozilla foundation has yet to do anything that makes me suspect they have nefarious intentions. I cannot hardly begin to say the same about advertising or marketing people. Most or sleazier than that underside of a toilet seat. If Mozilla is causing problems for these people, stfu. I'm behind Mozilla 100%.
The beauty in the design is how simple it is. It's frictionless and rides on "air bearings" to keep it aloft. One big potential problem is running out of air at 800mph for the skis. TFA doesn't say, but at that speed, it's difficult to imagine what happens to Inconel when it contacts aluminum; Gamma Ray Burst is all that comes to mind at those velocities. But, it's Elon Musk so rest assured he's worked this all out. He's no Boeing.
Nevermind that arcane Linux crap, I want to try this Windows 311 thing. That retro 8 bit UI does look like a direct ripoff of IOS 7, but it sure is a welcome change from Metro. I hope Apple just sees it as a complement but they'll probably sue Microsoft over it.
If that were true, Windows phone would have hammered the market however a sickening thud was all that was heard.
Android and Apple got to the market first while Blackberry was still sporting it's banal interface and relying on entrenched government contracts for it's bread-and-butter. That was a ridiculous short-sighted and lazy gamble by BB. They are now trying to change directions in mid-stream but everyone has already moved on and they are arriving at the party with an empty keg. BB should have gotten their ass in gear earlier.
I've seen a lot of developers eat breakfast over the decades and don't recall ever seeing anyone stuffing their face with a Twinkie. Tankards of coffee would be a far more accurate observation.
This whole scare tactic on Hayden's part, especially since it was a speech at the "Bipartisan Policy Center" sounds like a grab for political support and funding to further broaden what the NSA, FBI, DEA and every other shitty acronym involved is already doing. People like Hayden are the types who create places like Gitmo, fund operations like Haliburton, and see nothing wrong with getting what they want by any means necessary. No wonder he's so scared.

Apple has audits everywhere
Yep. And everyone knows that a company investigating itself is the most fair and thorough way to inspect a facility for human rights violations.
If you would have given me a laptop in school while sitting in some "boring" class I would have been lucky getting a D-
FTFA: "Changes in Earth's orbit today are not an important factor in the rapid warming that has been observed recently...Earth's orbit changes on the scale of thousands of years, but carbon dioxide today is changing on the scale of decades so climate change is happening much faster today."
Four words which have never before existed to suggest the rest of the paragraph is pure propaganda.

You can also include images, video and webpages.

Was Les Nessman doing a live broadcast for this event too?
Not sure if I'm lauging at the reference, or laughing at how many people will need to google Les Nessman Turkey
Those are your chances of being a victim. 230 deaths a year is the justification for all the tax dollars, trampled rights and illegal activity.
I wish the DOT would just pick some already working open standards and improve where needed instead of re-inventing something by committee.
no one will trust Microsoft enough to buy into the lock-in.
You say that like Apple's lock-in is different somehow.
Be careful not to confuse unwavering trust and superior products with clueless ignorance.
