TFA says a piece of malware can knock out the null-terminator in a required string, which Explorer relies on to load properly.
While it's good to know that a simple problem can be solved quickly (and the root cause discovered, damn you malware), and it's also good to see that Prevx can apologize when the make a mistake-- but I have to wonder if Microsoft would have been attended to as quickly as they had had Prevx not complained as loudly as they did.
Most large corporations have a staggered, consistently employed 3-year PC replacement cycle, couldn't care less about what software is installed since they're all imaged in-house, and prefer hardware to remain consistent as long as possible.
Most large corporations have a 3-year PC replacement cycle where the bosses' 3-year old, that was $5000 when new, gets some black masking tape to repair the cracked screen, a quick delete of "My Videos", and are then given to the rest of the employees, who don't really need new computers or a "R" key, anyways.
Think of it this way: if a set of goods is on one set of hands instead of another, the other set of hands is (duh) not having those goods. It lost the equivalent to the amount of money those hands value the goods at. It can spread the loss around (some to itself, some to the insurance company, some to their customers, for instance), but there is a loss.
How many times do we have to go over this? Piracy isn't theft. There is no loss of tangible goods, just making a copy. Ok, suppose I had this replicator, and your car... and... uh...

Forcing those in charge of the troops to spend massive amounts of money-- well beyond initial estimates-- in order to properly arm and care for those troops?
Sounds like they're getting the "realistic" part into the combat simulators after all.
And to do that, they'll need a definition of "secure". One that everyone can agree on. A standard definition, on might say. And to ensure everyone who says they're secure actual is, it might be a good idea to draft a formal document that explicitly lays out those standards, as well as methods for one company to ensure another company meets those standards. Heck, if it's that important, it might be worth thinking about turning that document into a law...
What will his staff do, read the Wikipedia page about Wikileaks and report back? With senators having so much free time and resources, it is little wonder that US is facing a deficit in the small trillions.
Not really. You see, by "probe", they mean "skim until the Senator's name comes up".
If you can truly spread this as easy as possible, then do so. But put a payload into it that closes all the holes it slips through. Proof of concept achieved, morals remain intact.
The obvious solution is some sort of horrid electrode array.
I wonder if they can't team up with NASA on this one. Both have to come up with ways of strengthening muscles in an environment that isn't conducive to such an endeavor. I'm not sure if it means vats of meat on a treadmill, or astronauts licking batteries.
I've always wondered about the social implications of truly artificial substitutes. Would an "ethical" vegetarian eat a steak that was grown in a vat? What about a replicated or CHON steak made from just a bunch of molecules.
Probably not. They'll argue that the vat-steak was still grown from an "original" source, which probably had to be slaughtered. Or that in order to get the replicator pattern for a steak, you had to slaughter a cow to make the original.
Of course, trying to tackle those questions logically fails miserably, since most of the veggies I know are far from logical. They don't want to eat anything that required killing an animal in the chain of production-- yet it's nearly certain that every carrot they eat has molecules from dead animals in it. They'll say they don't want to murder any creatures, but don't like it when I point out their beer is just living yeast drowned in it's own pee....
It'll end up coming down, as always, to the individual choice. Someone won't want to eat any kind of meat, no matter how it's produced. Some people will view artificial pork as fulfilling the letter of the Kosher laws, some will see it as trying to cheat the spirit of the law.
(Others will realize the laws were made by people who couldn't directly translate the original texts, and so went with the most constrictive of the interpretations, just to be sure they didn't get caught in a technicality... or by people who were concerned about food poisoning and hadn't invented refrigeration yet....)

My fiance is also a school teacher, and has multiple kids out with H1N1.
Of course, when the parents say "H1N1", that's actually "my snowflake has the sniffles and needs time at the spa to relax. Can you reschedule her test again?
And, English being the funny language it is, with words having multiple meanings, "H1N1" also means "summer school"
You just don't know how to handle Black Pudding properly. You have to corner it, hit it with a blunt weapon until it splits, and repeat until you've racked up a ton of XP.
We'll probably see it return around the time they EOL the PS2 platform completely
I doubt it. I'd love to be able to play my PS2 games on the PS3, but I know it'll never happen. Not when they can "sell" the same games through the PS Store and get another $10-$20 out of people who have already bought the games.

You're right. They should have used Cop Out instead. Every other company uses it, and it has predictable and consistent results

Instead of a laptop, why not bring with a tire and some gas, and give them a hand with those speed cameras?

So... my DNA is information... and information wants to be freely shared and spread around?
I think I've seen websites that have videos of that...

They weren't free, though.
