I don't see what's so special about cell phones and app stores - especially if they run Linux under the covers anyway
Not only that, you really *DON'T* have to build an app that runs in all Linux / Android distros. First you eliminate all the "fringe" distros and hardware platforms, "fringe" means niche, very few users. Then, you target the top three.
This is most likely no more than PR bullshit by the publicity whore known as "Moxie Marlinspike", this guy is well known as a publicity whore. Ya sure, it's possible they "made copies" of his 'puter, but most likely he made a scene at customs and they treated him accordingly.
I suppose there might be someone in the CIA sitting there grinning, saying 'Wow.. he did this to himself and we did nothing'
I know it's unpopular, but I think that's it.
Aside from the good that Wikileaks does, any reasonable person that has read email discussions between this guy and his followers can see that he's really quite full of himself. It's not hard at all to imagine that his head got away from himself and he was a bit too aggressive with the ladies, I'm sure he thinks they should feel lucky to have had sex with him at all.
Get a grip. Wikipedia allows anonymous editing.No laws are being broken. Stop taking yourself so seriously. It's *not* becoming, and really, you look like a fool.
if oracle takes legal action against distributors of software written in java, they may as well close down java.com and close up their database business while they are at it, nobody would trust working with oracle owned properties for anything of any consequence
This progression is to be expected. But the thing people should be asking is: does the new Buick ECM have an interface exposed that third parties can build readers for? Is there an assessable API? Probably not, so all this power will only be available to dealerships.
No it's not. Not exactly. The board is meant to run it in the best interests of the company, but this is not always about maximising shareholder profit.
Exactly. Like the O.P., people often spout this bit of misinformation: "A corporation is required to maximize the profits for its share holders" as if that corporations are required to push aside all ethical and moral considerations for the purpose of screwing the most cash out of anything they touch. It just isn't so, though it often ends up that way.
For example, does this mean that what kids do in high school will increasingly set their destinies for life?
It certainly should. here's no question that most high school kids do not take education as seriously as they should. For many, high school is really just a social gathering.

I'll bet he will serve a far harsher sentence than rapists and child diddlers, because this involves the almighty dollar.
After someone empties your bank account, let me know how you feel.

No problems.
No, but I'll take the Second Post...
Anyone else amused that the word "cyber" is still in use?
When I read/hear "cyber", I generally think of sex.

from whoever he wants it from, the hold will be gone.
You're not familiar with Ron Wyden, I think.
Er, airlines sell tickets for profit. What exactly does Google make from you when you use their search engine?
I'm sorry, are you high? Live in a cave? Under a rock?
Google sells ad views (and more).

and behold; they turned out to be shills; whoring themselves for publicity...
Really? They have? WHat are their names? What interviews with the press have they done? Have they hired Gloria Allred?
Your unsubstantiated paranoia is showing...
Mike Rowe is a middle-aged woman fantasy, and the other three are creepy.
SO now I have to host my Pink Ponies site in RUSSIA? Fan-fucking-tastic.
Seriously. This has been going on for YEARS. Why is this being posted here?
Because eWeek wanted to shill a "story" here to get page views?
A little jail time might be in order as well

We can only hope...
electricity demand could increase significantly
Hopefully people will wake up to the benefits of Nuclear Energy. It is in fact our only hope for future energy demands.

OK, now, I'll expect to hear a lot of bleating about how it's unethical to use Black Hat methods to take down Spam Bot Networks...
Folks, spammers don't play by the rules, and playing by the rules will not, in the long term, even dent spammers.
If we're not willing to us a "no holds barred" approach to attacking the spam bot issue, well, you better just get used to more and more spam.

Perhaps the recent unexplained "missle launch" off of LA is a DYI project?
As a shareholder, I would hope that the management can wring every cent to the bottom line they can.
And how they do that depends on if they are interested in short or longterm gains.

Oh please, stop rubbing it in that YOU got laid in high school.

Perhaps you mean these people?
Yes, it says Burma for the article title. Then directly after it...
Read the discussion of the name issue on the article's discussion page, and you'll see the point I didn't make too well...
