When NK falls and the full extent to which its people have been oppressed is revealed, the entire civilized world will hang its head in shame over how long this abomination has been allowed to exist.
The United States didn't want to get involved in the Germany / Jew issue, either.

I have to ask what they mean by "active users", because although I have a G+ account and like the UI and features, *NONE* of my so-called-friends use it. None.
Soverain had already picked a fight with the biggest kid on the playground and won. The first company it sued was Amazon, and Soverain scored a $40 million settlement from the giant retailer back in 2005. The Gap also settled for an undisclosed sum. That was back when defendants were afraid of RIM-sized damage payouts, before eBay v. MercExchange and subsequent Supreme Court decisions started to put some limits on what do-nothing patent holders could win.
So what happens now to all that loot that these companies paid out?
As far as I'm concerned I hope Amazon can't get any back, what with their own bullshit bag of silly patents...
You will also note that the word 'joke' is in quotes throughout this story - the reason is, of course, that this 'joke' is no joke to Apple fanbois, many of whom are outraged after discovering that they could not pre-order this case, and not have declared jihad.
If the teachers are as stupid as hes says, they are alsow very unlikly to read/.
As well, if his coworkers are competent, they would be in agreement. If not, the actual simpl fact is that it isn't reall that hard to find work in IT.
I would refuse to work at a place that stifled workplace discussion.
Puh-leese, that ship has already sailed. They worked hard to re-elect a guy who, according to the NYU/Stanford report [livingunderdrones.org] has killed nearly a thousand civilians with drones, including 176 children, not to mention the number of injured.
So you rely primarily on security thru obscurity and hope that genuine bad guys would never scan you? That's pretty scary.
Straw man. That's not what he said at all.
The issue is that running unauthorized "vulnerability scans" is exactly what hackers do prior to busting into a network. Since he was a student there, it would have behooved him to coordinate his tests with the Network folks, rather than attacking the system in exactly the same way a hacker would.
Perhaps they would have said "no way, piss off". But you can't make unauthorized attempts to crack someone's network and expect them to be happy about it.
Eric Schmidt visits a farm and tells the farmer than his cows would be far better off with internet access. The farmer looks at him like he is fucking stupid. Where is the benefit for him in doing that?
You are so right on.
Most people here have never been to Korea and can't really understand the dynamics of what is going on in both South and North Korea.
There is very little chance that Eric Schmidt or any of his "people" saw anything that the North did not want them to see... Which is most of North Korea, which is in a state of extreme poverty on levels that most American, most Westerners simply can not understand.
This was a PR trip for the North Koreans, a way to leverage media in the West to believe that things are not as bad in the North as they really are.
As the US Government said, this was not a "useful" trip, it was a PR trip for the North Koreans, who continue to develop Nuclear Weapons at the cost of feeding their people.
The AV-Test results show that Microsoft's twin security programs protected against 100 per cent of known threats, as did every other security suite. The two packages produce low rates of false positives in comparison to the competition and are significantly lighter on processor load during operations.
But where Redmond is falling down is in protecting against zero-day attacks. Security Essentials and Forefront both scored last in this regard among all the suites tested, getting 78 per cent of zero-days apiece. Blackbird said that AV-Test attached too much importance to the zero-day threat in its metrics, since that section of the testing accounts for 50 per cent of the final score, but Marx argued that zero-day performance was crucial to real-world threats.
There are a lot of "revolutionary" technology being used on this aircraft, many news techniques and materials that will play big roles in future commercial jets. So is this a design issue or a management issue?
The battery issue is front and center as it should be - if you have seen images of the melted battery it's pretty scary. But there are OTHER issues as well, from leaky fuel lines to bubbles and delam issues in the compositesâ¦
Obviously YOU don't have it... Now please consider getting out of your mother's basement, but before you do, for the sanity of the Surface Dwellers, please take off your mother's "granny panties".
If they find this gene and figure out how to control it, the finantial windfall will be staggering for Big Pharma - the "Fountain of Youth" treatment will be very expensive and only available to the rich and famous such as future Brad Pitts and George Clooneys... And possibly the future Leona Helmsleys...

I always assume that "Anonymous Coward" posts are people that have very small penises.
If it was part of a settlment, maybe not?

And speaking of Soverain Software, their web page is responding "Service Unavailable" at the moment... Lol, and so on...

AC for obvious reasons.
I'm sorry, it's not "obvious" to me... OH! I get it, you have no balls where you work. Got it.

The outside looks pretty decent.
You're kidding, right?
An interesting part of the El Reg story:

Except for that fact that my picture is the retarded kid from the Stargate movie.
Listen, you insensitive clod, "retarded" kids need sex, too.
it's not being entering a line, rather it has been notified that it is next.
But you have to queue before they cue you up, yes?
Obviously YOU don't have it... Now please consider getting out of your mother's basement, but before you do, for the sanity of the Surface Dwellers, please take off your mother's "granny panties".
When in the presence of other species, Vorlons wear encounter suits.
What a co-inky-dink! I too wear an "encounter suit" when I go out on the town!
