There are also several teams trying to find security issues with Google so that they can exploit them. How many teams of for-profit hackers will be targeting your personal server?
I seem to recall one of the arguments against allowing RMT at all in the past was that if Blizzard acknowledged that in-game items had value then they could be held liable if there was a server issue that caused someone to lose their account. Was that just an excuse, or is Blizzard so confident in their servers that they don't think that will happen?
While I agree with you people often tout filtering out poorly written software as a selling point to Apple's philosophy of forcing all applications to go through them. This anecdote contradicts that stance. It is silly to expect Apple to debug every update that gets pushed their way and that is really the point I was trying to make.
This just goes to show the problems allowing apps that have not been vetted by Apple to be installed on your device. If this had been an app for an iOS device this would never have happened.
What's that you say? This was an iOS device? I guess the garden's walls are for keeping users in rather than keeping bad software out.
True as that may be, what do you think would happen to the senator who championed lowering airport security after the next attack? Security theater is an inevitable product of our system of governance.
If Microsoft can come out with something new that is as big an improvement over.NET as.NET was over VB6 then I will happily spend the time required to learn it. Writing forms applications in C# is downright pleasant.
It seems like AMDs biggest complaint is that the benchmark isn't offloading CPU intensive tasks to the GPU. It is pretty hard to take them seriously when they are complaining that the benchmark favors their competition by actually benchmarking the CPU.
We need a language that doesn't have a garbage collector. Have you ever tried writing something that runs in a tight loop (games for example) in a managed language? If you do any dereferencing in your loop the garbage collector will hang unacceptably for awhile every few seconds or so making everything stutter. Instead of allocating a particle and then deleting it when you are done with it you have to keep a big pool of particles in memory at all times and reuse them. Delete operations that could have been spread out over several thousand frames get saved up and then all happen at the same time. Garbage collection is great for some applications, but forcing it into every language would be a mistake.
Which book of the bible was it that stated that no life form could subsist of elements outside of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur? I must have glossed over that part...

If you are curious about the benefits of using MongoDB there is a good explanation here.
Have we learned nothing from Independence Day?
The only true American flags are the ones that have not been altered from the pristine state they were in when they left the factory in China.
Is it just me or have most of the technological advancements of this decade been used for convincing people to buy crap they don't really need?

So I guess Redhat and Ubuntu aren't really Linux either because they use custom kernel patches?

There's a note stuck to my fridge door that starts the same way.

I believe that Dofus already has a TV show.
The kernel is one step closer to achieving nirvana.
Repurposing 3d rendering hardware's programmable pipeline in order to render 3d scenes? Yo dawg...
I suppose that you are ready to give up your right to install software on your own PC for the good of the public, then?
Water contained in molten ejecta would sublimate almost instantly in the vacuum of space.
I think something can be arraigned.
Come on now, officer. How many criminals actually fall for that?

In the "real world" people use a phone when they want to call someone else on the phone. They use skype when a phone call isn't feasible.
Finally, proof that the colloquialism "Use it or lose it" is in fact grounded in scientific fact.
