Funny, I was thinking about this exact same thing today while driving:
I'm a native speaker of Portuguese and a fluent speaker of English, and I noticed that, in many situations, I think in english - maybe because the situation makes me think of something that reminds me of something I've read/heard in English.
The other times I thought about this were more about how people seem to react to situations and feelings based on the most common expressions in the language describing them... So yes, I think that language heavily affects the things we feel and think.
This made me wonder - when the primitive Homo Sapiens didn't have complex languages, could it understand all the feelings and thoughts that we understand now? Is language a limiting factor or is it just an upper level of conscience that we were trained since being children to treat as the level where thoughts really happen, the truth being that they are truly formed on a more basic level?
Bad analogy. It would be more like you publically saying that it's easy to set the white house on fire, instead of just warning a few select authorities.
I was talking about just detecting whether the code is watermarked or not - watermarking removal should prove more difficult (even impossible to be sure of success depending on how mean MS may have been).
"Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that Microsoft Corp. will spend $120 million a year on an advertising campaign to fight its image as "a huge American company." That sound you heard while reading the article is my head exploding.
Either that or you guys just can't read. Clearly what the article says is just that Microsoft will advertise in other countries with the objective of seeming more like an international company...
So you're telling me you have your laptop on all day? Or you use standby? The fact that the uptime is big doesn't mean anything in terms of the CPU heating if you're using standby lots of times...

Well, I'm using the latest firefox version - the other day I had only one or two tabs open, and it was at 172 MB of RAM!

I don't understand why they limit their betas to Microsoft developers.
In order to catch the more severe bugs before the software goes public. Even internal testing at Microsoft (their "eat your own dogfood" principle) proceeds incrementally.

Close your tabs and see if you still think the same way.
Moreover, in most cases, if you do not get the memory you need, unless you have coded an alternative to perform the task (very rare), you might as well give up immediately.
Give up with a seg fault? Wouldn't it be better to give up with an error?
This is the text of the patch. Look at the nice variable names:P
And this is the contents of the guilty source code file. It's filled with such variable names and obfuscated code! Some variable names -> zzzzzzz, yyyyy, xx, uuuuu.
I really never thought that this kind of code was in a project such as KDE. I assume that it's a fairly unique file, but even then it's just really stupid...
I wonder if the windows 2000 and NT4 source code which was leaked some time ago has the code for handling wmf files... Maybe someone can check it out:)
This code was written at a time where security in the Windows world wasn't a true concern. Reasons:
1- Viruses didn't need vulnerabilities such as this one to run since most people didn't have antivirus software and would execute any program they got from anyone.
2- Knowledge about security wasn't as widespread as it is now.
So should they blame the original developers of the WMF code or the people who decided to use their code in new windows versions without having it reviewed?

Irony rules :P
Anyway, the original question was not too idiotic...
Yeah, but they seem to implement the important features quickly - just think about complete Wireless support on the OS level, for example.
I don't understand a point. A cover band is not formed by musicians?
And in which part did he say that feature would be innovative?
Bad analogy. It would be more like you publically saying that it's easy to set the white house on fire, instead of just warning a few select authorities.
I was talking about just detecting whether the code is watermarked or not - watermarking removal should prove more difficult (even impossible to be sure of success depending on how mean MS may have been).
Well, it would be quite easy for them to know - they'd just have to get 2 different copies together and diff them...
They didn't even say that they'll try to look small. If only people knew how to read!
Either that or you guys just can't read. Clearly what the article says is just that Microsoft will advertise in other countries with the objective of seeming more like an international company...

I'm accustomed to uptimes measured in months
On laptops?

and an attacker is targeting you specifically
I don't think that's a requirement - couldn't a guy just listen for all SSID broadcasts and then connect to whatever PC he manages to fish?
That's what they want you to think :P

To play games. And they don't need to migrate, they can use dual booting.
DRM is not a bad intention? What about restricting your right to legally backup a CD to mp3 files? Wasn't that what they did?
