I dunno, maybe exposing the cheat was not the best of ideas. Instead, manipulation of the enemy sounds like a better idea - now that you know their game, start changing the rules around them. I'm reminded of John Grisham's "The Rainmaker" - the protagonist found that his opponents were bugging his office, so he set them up to take a nasty fall.
Any lawsuit filed, even one you can successfully defend against, is a pain to deal with and causes emotional stress. It's good to see practices like these become less popular.
As explained above in http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1964554&cid=34988134, it's not over yet. Tunisia can hijack your traffic by decrypting, re-encrypting it with their own certificate and presenting it to you as an SSL encrypted page from a trusted certificate provider. You are free to delete that trusted provider from your certificate store, but if you are using IE they can put it back - Microsoft allowed them to do it without your permission. Chances are you wouldn't even know that it happened.
My bad, next time when I write something sarcastic (but nonetheless true), I'll do it with my hand raised like Ellen Degeneres taught. The point being, nearly everything you read about in your history books is written with bias to it. If the Germans had won world war 2, I'm sure you would be prattling on about the evil British and American corporatist schemers and how they were enslaving the world. The difference here is, who is the winner? We're only just begun with the good stuff and there's that insurance file that's still out there. Does making this movie influence the outcome? What will future generations think of this?
Whatever happened to waiting until the story is over to tell the tale? History used to be written by the winners, not by the ones vested in getting their opinion turned into the "correct" one.
Anecdotal evidence maybe, but a few years ago I could see quite the few PSPs and DS on my train ride home. Nowadays everyone whips out their phone to do their in-commute gaming.
What I meant was that it was not a personal preference, unless you consider it a personal preference not to bring in your phone for repair. Without jailbreaking, an iPhone without a home button is unusable.
the button also breaks easily though, it's one of the first parts of an iphone to go. I know of people who jailbreak their phones to use an alternative to the button.
You break the encryption on hard drives in the simplest manner, that is to say, break the person on the other side of it. Where's that xkcd reference when you need it...
Haven't you heard of introductory offers? They're not here to sell you the app, they are here to sell you the update, 10.6.6 itself. Once Apple establishes market share, you'll see a change to the pricing again. Like they say, the first hit is for free.
At the end of this famous film, a British pilot solves the mystery of the sound barrier by reversing the controls at the critical moment during the power dive. There are just two problems with this account. It was actually an American, Chuck Yeager, who first broke the sound barrier (see “The Right Stuff”) and reversing the controls in the transonic zone is likely to kill the pilot. In his book “The Right Stuff”, Tom Wolfe describes how Yeager was invited to the American premiere of the movie and, when asked afterwards for his reaction, responded that the picture was “utter shuck from start to finish”.
What has been lacking has been clear leadership and direction, not marketshare, technical know-how or PR. And it doesn't help that they keep making new projects without thinking them through, then killing them before they have any reasonable expectation of success. Sounds more like a company self-destructing from internal politics instead.
Perhaps the app is just more important to you than it is to the company? First take your ego out of the equation, i guess, then make your case before the boss. Just sayin'. Also if you have a time sheet of how much time you've spent on this app so far it would be helpful in drumming up some numbers, plus a few scenarios where the failure of the app causes lost time for the company as a whole.
By the 365th day Steve had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then Steve blessed the 366th day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
So a vote for Ross is a vote for Clinton? I thought it was the other way around. Third party candidates are supposed to strengthen the incumbent, not weaken him.
Isn't an Obama presidency a disaster for Democrats, Republicans, Americans and the entire concept of democracy? The fact is that the man is full of lies and broken promises. If a Palin presidency is no better, it could be no worse - at the least people would learn that you don't get rewarded for deceiving the electorate, instead you get punished for it.
I've had it put to me that Clinton ran against Bush Sr. because he was a throwaway candidate: Nobody could beat Bush, and that was fact. Funny how that turned out.
Given the number of people with access to the data, I would seriously doubt they would have found this particular needle in the haystack in such a short time. Nice try at a conspiracy theory though.

When you stop feeding the hungry, they will beat you to death, take all your money, and figure out if human flesh is better roasted or fried.

NASA has orbital lasers? Imma call them and ask if they are going to melt people now. The world must know! (blogs it down, including the NASA hotline)
I'm reminded of this: “The Sound Barrier” (1952)

There are just two problems with this account. It was actually an American, Chuck Yeager, who first broke the sound barrier (see “The Right Stuff”) and reversing the controls in the transonic zone is likely to kill the pilot.

Thanks to http://www.rogerdarlington.co.uk/afilms.html for retaining that piece of info.
Installing ram is easy to screw up, because it is easy to insert lightly, and hard to jam it in fully.

Why create a similar device when all you need are windows drivers for the existing Kinect?

What l'd like to know is if Bush vs Kerry was one of the earlier successes of this kind of tactic. You could have had Howard Dean as president by now.

I'm actually surprised the crack was released by a private group, and not the US military, which purchased so many PS3s to run their cluster.
