I agree. The only way to solve the problem is to internalize the costs. Any time we as a society allow a business to externalize costs we distort the market and create a long term untenable society.
File this one under uninteresting and an obvious forgery.
Technically this is not much different than just hosting a look-alike page to collect passwords. The phishing attack would be much more interesting if the URL wasn't so obviously bogus. According to the paper an attack could use a URL shortener to further hid the obviously odd URI. The problem with this is that the URI attack described in the article requires that you send the URI with payload to the victim. A URL shortener service has no reasonable way to direct the short URL to the crafted URI.
Ironically, using a shortened URL (tinyurl, bit.ly goo.gl etc) would make it easy to hide a real phishing site hosted out on the Internet. To say that this is a security hole is to say that because all browsers allow people to go to sites that can claim to be who they are not all browsers are insecure.
The same can be said if he went ahead with the arbitration. The rules set forth by the USADA are a far cry from anything resembling a trial as we know it.
It should also be pointed out that cyclists are typically not very wealthy. The longer this goes on the more people close to Armstrong will be dragged into an unaffordable and life wrecking ordeal. It is one thing to say that Lance can afford to pay for his defense. However, it would be inappropriate for him to fund the defense of other. It is a really bad situation all the way around.
Exactly, the individual who happened to fire that particular bullet. While the initiator is to blame for the situation each individual holds their own responsibility for how they respond. Think of it this way, if a gunman entered a crowded room and shot some people, would it be acceptable to take him out with a grenade?
This is not such a black and white issue. If people who are not properly trained respond in a reckless manner then they are responsible. There is a line somewhere between do nothing and everybody should be armed.
As an aside, I think that the do nothing crowed is just as loney and the guns for everybody crowed.
I agree! I have kept my Palm Pixi because the size is almost never an issue. Aside from sluggish performance, poor photo quality and it being a dead-end platform the phone is just about perfect. I fear the day when I am forced to replace it with anything currently on the market.
I finally installed a version of ClamAV on my Mac. I was surprised when it found more than a dozen viruses on my Mac. Interestingly these were all in my junk mail folder. I now do not feel so "infected".
Does this meant that if I never had a Facebook account that I retain the right to use *book as a trademark?

Actually, more than 50% of programmers are below average. There is always a large number of beginning programmers compared to the few exceptional programers in the long tail of the population. Long tail populations almost always have an average on the long tail side of the median. In this sense I think that it would even be fair to say that the overwhelming majority of programmers are below average. This is in line with my experiencing with programmers.
It turns out that the same slight of hand is used with runways which only last so long because they choose to have airplanes come into contact at specific angles instead of just belly flopping at a single point. Just think about how much more efficient runway construction could be. It is obviously all a shame.
The real question, however, is will any such attack against Blackberries be successful before RIM is out of business? Hmmm, come to think of it this is sort of like TKIP but on a macro level.
You hit the nail on the head. They should have down graded many other bonds before downgrading the U.S.'s bonds. S&P have been flexing their political muscle and threatening to down grade U.S. bonds ever since they were found to be the must culpable in the CDO debacle.
We must have been paying attention to different tea parties. I remember the tea party that immediately blamed Obama for the economy even before he was elected.
And if we didn't have a black President these whack-a-doos wouldn't have come out of the woodwork, so therefore it must be Obama's fault.:0
The truly strange thing is that political tides ebb and flow in shorter cycles than two years yet S&P through it prudent to make a judgement based on the current political climate of what they expect to happen two year from now.
I would agree with you if we were needing to raise the debt ceiling again and the political climate were such that raising the debt ceiling were increasingly unlikely. But the debt ceiling was just raised so their primary reason for the downgrade is purely speculative based on a projection of the current political turmoil two years into the future. While there are many things wrong with the U.S. government, the current political environment and the U.S.'s increasingly challenging financial situation, this rating has no economic basis and was made purely based on opinion that has an apparent axe to grind.
This is very interesting because it means that S&P is making a purely political assessment rather than measuring the outcomes. While their observations are correct they are effectively stating that how we got to an outcome is more important than the outcome itself. The moralist in me agrees that the process is important, but the economist in me is completely indifferent.
I can't help but to think that this might more to do with S&P flexing its muscle with the government and staking a position in the court of public opinion. There have been much back and forth between S&P and the government since the 2008 ratings debacle.
The ratings are partially relative to the market as a whole. Default rates fluctuate over time and between markets. There will always be some investments rated higher than others regardless of the market conditions. There might also be legal liability if ratings agencies produced a numeric score because their models are not 100% mathematical--an implied scale would be inherently misleading.
Also note the different default rates for government versus corporate bonds. These different bond markets have their own relative ratings, although they use the same labels. Some people think that this shows either ratings inflation for the corporate world or an implicit disdain for governments. Personally I don't think that it matters because money flows see through these basic flaw and go where the risk/reward ratio leads to better profits.
If the IT department has a problem with FireFox's aggressive versioning do you really think Chrome is an option? Chrome has had 12 major versions since 2008. That comes close to an average of a major release every 3 months. This particularly aggressive release for FireFox is still 33% longer than Chrome's typical release cycle.
I have been through each option and none of them have solved the problem. I have had to switch between FF and Chrome to accomplish various tasks in SharePoint. Each have their own unique compatibility issues with SharePoint, but I can manage having to use differents tool for various tasks. I cannot manage random crashes while I have too many time pressures to get things done.

So what you are saying is that there is too much of a price difference between a Tesla and a slightly slowing Corvette?

I am sure that the people with the money would agree, but the people with the labor who have to build the yacht and mansion have a different opinion.
But what you do not seem to understand is that a dollar today is worth a different amount that a dollar tomorrow.
Never mind with my previous statement. How about you give $100m and in 10 years I will return your $100m. I won't even charge you any holding fees.

I still agree that rolling up the version numbers this quickly is bad for many reasons and is a gift to Microsoft.
