Yes, because it's going to take up sooooooooooooooooooooo much time, and soooooooooooooooo much effort, and sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much equipment to send a single fucking text message when a condition within an If statement is reached.
How does my bank ever manage to text me when my accounts reach certain thresholds without bankrupting themselves? It's goddamned fucking miracle, I tells you.
"Researchers from Microsoft and the University of Massachusetts have been working on a technology that would let mobile phones and other 3G devices automatically switch to public WiFi even while the device is traveling in a vehicle.

trying to figure out why they can't copy their memo regarding the new safety measures they put in place to prevent the copying of Company Confidential documents.
I imagine the first terms to be added could be something like "Company Confidential, Do Not Copy" or "Sensitive Business Information".
Nanorobots will give us an indefinite supply of sweet, delicious ponies.
I like your logic that curing cancer in children only gives them "10 years" of life added, instead of y'know, an actual human lifespan. Maybe one day, you'll be able able so snort a line of nanorobots, and they can relocate your logic circuits from your anus to your brain; we can only hope, right?
Backup encryption uses AES with a 256-bit key. So far, so good. An AES key is derived from the user-supplied password, and this is where the problem arises.
In short, standard key-derivation function, PBKDF2, is used in a very strange way, to say the least. Where Apple has used 2,000 iterations in iOS 3.x, and 10,000 iterations in iOS 4.x, BlackBerry uses only one.
If only the article had the above information on page 2, you'd have the answer to your question. If only.
Unless you're of the opinion that if google were to go bankrupt, it would take the US economy down with it, I don't think that expression means what you think it means.
People texting on buses, trains and in cinemas bugs you? Did you get bitten by a radioactive deaf guy and managed to acquire super-hearing* that amplifies the "click! click! click!" of a keyboard to an unbearable degree? Man, I feel for ya.
Find something that contradicts the creation story of the Bible? No problem! Those alleged contradictions are merely pieces of information that god purposely withheld, because he created us to be too stupid to understand simple concepts and had to resort to lies and misinformation.
What a guy!
The Christian claim is that for humans, God has sought to reveal himself through the Bible to the extent that humans can and should understand him.
I mean, holy shit, forget hoverboards and auto-drying jackets:
It sounds like you'll be able to print articles from your digitally delivered newspaper before too long,' says Smith.
Printing!?? From a digital source??!??!?!?!? HOLY FUCKING SHIT BOSS, I've had a computer since I was a tyke, and now I get to live in the new modern world in which we can print! YES!
Basically, the way to solve a power outage is to send people out looking for the problem, then swarming around the problem to fix it. It's a rather simple process when cell phones are up... but what do they do when there's not only no power, but no cell phone network too?
Probably whatever we did before we had cellphones? Insane, I know.
A's response to this criticism of giving players the objective to 'gun down American troops' was this: 'Medal Of Honor is set in today's war, putting players in the boots of today's soldier... We give gamers the opportunity to play both sides. Most of us have been doing this since we were seven. If someone's the cop, someone's got to be the robber, someone's got to be the pirate, somebody's got to be the alien
Cops and robbers, sure, but who the fuck ever heard of playing pirates and aliens? Who's even the bad guy in that scenario? EA should've gone with the analogy all of our father's at one point impressed upon us: "If someone's the pitcher, someone's got to be the catcher, son. Now let daddy see your mitt."
No, I'm ignoring a one time aberration. Supreme Court deciding on the Presidential Election or months of chaos without a president, I think they did the right thing.
20th Amendment, motherfucker, do you speak it?
"and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified."
Yeah, the US would've been in "chaos" and without a president if Congress extended Clinton's term by a month or two in order to let Florida complete a vote count.
This actually shows how out of touch they are. Nobody who had any understanding of technology of the last 15 years would ever ask for a document to be "returned".
This really isn't all that complicated. There are 15000 documents that wikileaks has yet to release. Since these documents have yet to be released, the pentagon does not know which documents were stolen, ergo: they are asking for copies of the documents to be given back to them so that they can track down the leak. In addition, they are also demanding Wikileaks to then delete any copies they have.
Why is this so difficult to understand?
I remember one of our truecrypt volume passwords at work used to be "mymilkshakebringsalltheboystotheyard". Upon being informed of that, I thought "ok, pretty secure, easy to remember, but who the hell came up with that?"
What hole are you living in that you don't recognize that as a song lyric?
The worst is when they even force users to add exceptions just to watch random websites (Firefox, I'm looking at you). Now not only do I have to deal with the annoying warning blown out of all imaginary proportions, but I'm also adding an exception to a random website just because I want to browse it once in a life time that I may never remember to remove in the future and may cause real security issues later.
I really can't understand what's so wrong with temporary exceptions...
Firefox allows you to make temporary exceptions; you're just not doing it.
When you click on the "Add an exception" button, followed by the "Get Certificate" button, there's a checkbox with the text "Permanently store this exception". Guess what happens if you leave that box unchecked and click the "Confirm Exception" box? A temporary exception is made.
Hackers belonging to a group called Goatse obtained the e-mail addresses after uncovering a web application on AT&T's website that returned an iPad user's e-mail address when it was sent specially written queries
My heart goes out to the poor journalists heading out to the great google in order to get their big scoop on goatse.
Shower-sex is a novelty. You do it once so you can talk about it with your friends, then never again.
Why? Water gets EVERYWHERE, and it makes a piss-poor lube.
Congrats on admitting to the internet that you're a miserable failure when it comes to getting a woman naturally lubricated.
^that looks to me more like wondering about a "what if?" hypothetical scenario, not something which actually takes the blame from Windows just yet...
The article states "These are all reasonable assumptions based on real-world attacks that have been going on for some time now.

And go tell said children that curing cancer isn't "forward thinking" enough. I'm curious to see what kind of response you'd get.

There's nothing "hypothetical" about this threat.
