In addition, Jobs isn't worried about BlackBerry, either. Jobs has been shown to be visibly upset about Google and the explosive growth of the 2nd place Android.
Contracts simply state what is agreed to, and to some extent, what happens when what specifically agreed-to elements of the contract are not met -- usually this mostly means termination of the agreement. Contracts might contain verbiage about keeping data and equipment secure; if security is breeched, that's where the contract ends and liability law begins.
When someone makes a mistake and a laptop gets stolen because someone failed to secure it properly, this is called 'negligence' and it's an actionable tort, meaning people get sued. If the laptop contained sensitive data, such as credit card information or other sensitive financial data, and that data was secured, then the owner of laptop bears some responsibility as well. That's where they would get sued by their customers for negligence.
But I'm not a lawyer and you should definitely pay for a competent attorney anytime something like this comes up.
The difference is that the only obstacle to upgrading is yourself when it comes to Linux, not money or licensing.
Could be your hardware, too. 2.6 is a HUGE kernel, and some small embedded systems (like routers) can't be upgraded to a 2.6 kernel due to memory constraints.
Sorry to sound snippy; I had just been arguing with a 15-year old Apple fanboy when I posted that...;)
Similarly, I don't think that, because they share imperatives, calling Canvas the same as SVG is right, because they are different things and will become more different over time.
No doubt, but at this point the similarities are close enough that you could just about write an SVG-to-canvas converter that simply does a little text massaging. My original point is that pretending that HTML 5 canvas is some amazing new technology that we should be worshipping at the altars of Apple rather than an incremental improvement over SVG is rather silly.
SVG is one displayable object type within a canvas.
You don't know anything about SVG then. Read the spec for canvas, read the spec for SVG, then you'll understand what I'm saying. The native drawing commands in canvas like lineto, moveto, and bezierCurveTo are straight from SVG, which, in turn, is straight from PostScript.
I know. I'm writing some code that converts 2D sketches in a CAD tool to and from SVG.
Well if I was able to look at the code and find a security flaw, then be able to use an exploit against that flaw.
One security flaw? No. You'd only know that that piece of code that contained the security flaw corresponded to the actual binary(ies). Even for that, you wouldn't have a guarantee, since the source could represent, say, an older version and the newer version of the same code has other security flaws that you can't see.
If you only have 90% of the source, the portion you can't build depends on which 10% is missing. Just because you have 90% of the source, that doesn't mean you can build 90% of the binaries. For some projects, removing 10% source means you can't compile anything, if it's the right 10%.
Do you really think most countries have any interest in reviewing all the code in windows?
If you can't compile the code into a working binary using the same compiler that was used to produce the production binary because you're missing parts, then you can't be sure that the source code you have represents the binary you're using. You have take Microsoft's word for it, and it's not like the rep you're talking to is the actual guy who manages the build, so even he doesn't actually know for sure.
An incomplete set of source is absolutely useless for a true security audit.
Building your own house from scratch is not for the fainthearted.
Building your own house from scratch is easy. Building your own house from scratch that meets all your needs, is durable, will withstand harsh conditions, stays within your budget, is built within the timeframe you need it, and complies with all government building codes; well, that's much harder than it looks.:)
So, what you're saying is that we need scammers to scam people to protect them scammers?
I gotta better idea. Why don't we just start telling everyone that they can rid their PCs of viruses and malware if they scrub it in the bathtub with the power on?
Hey, I just thought of something. Maybe someone should actually do this; you know, save copies of political websites, and then when a politician tries to shift their platform in the general election from their previous more hard-core stances, snippets of information can be reposted to refute what's being said now. Call it "The Real Deal" or something.
BTW, Sharon Angle, this is called fair use. People can re-use your content for purposes of commentary and criticism.
Do it for all politicians in all races. Then maybe they'll stop this nonsense once and for all.
Don't forget audio. The crispness and clarity of the digital sound is directly affected by the color of the cloth covering the speakers. Lightwaves can travel in cloth is that is not pure pitch black, causing an ever-so-slight quantum disturbance in the sound waves, thereby increasing jitter. You can definitely hear the difference if your speaker cloth is dark grey instead of black.
As with any other types of evidence, a single piece of evidence is seldom enough to convict. You have to have other pieces of evidence that you would use together to corroborate the story.
The crime was committed in Vegas, the criminal claims to have been in New York, but the hair/water evidence shows he was either in Vegas or drank your crappy bottled water and there were also plant fibers on his clothing from plants common to the desert southwest. Neither piece of evidence by itself proves that the New Yorker was in Vegas, but taken together it seems much more likely.

You mean like Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, which is built from the exact same source?
Running Oracle on Linux isn't different from running Oracle on Solaris.
Um, have you ever seen a pudgy, pasty-faced sysadmin with an aluminum bat? Think the beginning of "Bad News Bear....
Oh, I see what you did here...
Even better: Google does it for you.

GCompris is in use by schools all over the world.

XP SP4 is available. It's simply pronounced 'Vista'.

And what, pray tell, do you think <canvas> is? Look at the spec. It's SVG written in JavaScript.
These terrorists won't be allowed to get away this, trading chlid porn over Twitter and Flickr and what not. Won't someone think of the children?

Oh, yeah, another point: The license doesn't allow you to build any binaries, either.
If you only have 90% of the source, the portion you can't build depends on which 10% is missing. Just because you have 90% of the source, that doesn't mean you can build 90% of the binaries. For some projects, removing 10% source means you can't compile anything, if it's the right 10%.

I'm not sure, but I think you just called Microsoft's development staff "morally irresponsible." That's not very nice. ;)

A swing stage is more common on taller buildings. Just sayin'...
