I am so going to get a empty shipping container, paint some Russian letters on it and put it in my backyard... and then make sure my neighbors see that article. Your move, Mr. Jones.
Let's not forget Apple's "Lisa". I know the Apple III was in the list but the Lisa cost more to develop and probably sold less units. I know a lot of the Mac UI came from Lisa underpinnings but the "Epic Fail" tag is deserved.
Competing on the world stage isn't cheap. I do find it surprising that MS lost $713 on its "Online Services Division", but keep in mind not all of that is search/anti-Google. They are rolling out their "Office LIve" stuff as well as pushing their version of the "cloud".
Right now, dinner with friends seems a LOT more interesting.
I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter, but I'm afraid it would simply depress me when I find out that there are more people 'out there' than the guy who delivers my pizzas and the other guy who does my lawn.
I just thought it was a bit ironic to blog about one's Internet addiction
If only there was a way to inform those college students about this study without using the internet, IM's, texting or other smart phone technologies. Hmmm... nope, can't think of a thing.
Selling something that you know doesn't belong to you is against the law. Plain and simple.
Buying something that you know doesn't belong to the person who's selling it is against the law. Plain and simple.
If those concepts are foreign to you then please let us enjoy our country... and you can enjoy yours (as long as someone doesn't sell it out from under you).
Let's keep in mind that Google is pushing the Android platform. The Nexus One phones are just a part of that push. Of course they want to sell a lot of Nexus One's (and reap the cash rewards of that success), but they'd rather see a Verizon Moto Droid be sold than an iPhone.
It looks like the 'WP Admins' (if that's what we're calling them) used weak passwords for their hosting account, FTP and/or DB, used 'Admin' username and possibly even used the same password for all of them. Rocket surgery, indeed!
I was redirected to a few 'malwarename'.xorg.pl sites on Saturday when clicking links pointing to wbir.com from CNN. I notified WBIR with several e-mails but they hadn't addressed it as of 11pm last night. CNN pulled the link after 16 hours so I don't know if they just moved on to other stories or acted on the warings I sent.
I wonder if infected sites should be held accountable for PC's that get infected. Luckily I wasn't running Widows so the Setup_422.exe that downladed was harmless.
It's already in the works at On Live. IMHO I think the latency related to gaming in this fashion will ruin it for everyone (unless you're playing board games or the like).
I'm not a fan of 'Piracy' at all, but Ubisoft DRM tactics are draconian, ridiculous, and are just begging for the attention of those who break DRM for fun or profit.
Ubisoft has brought this upon themselves and now they'll use the fact that their "unbreakable" DRM has been broken to justify their further efforts. Asshats!
Why assume that they either have a concept of ethics, that their ethics might apply to us, or that taking resources would be unethical in their view?
I think we should fear that they are just like us: ready & willing to use up any and all resources, and always trying to put off reasonable forms of conservation in order to satisfy our immediate wants & needs. If they're like us then we.are.doomed.
True, but if we continue to poison our bodies with preservatives and fast food there's a good chance that our new alien overlords won't want to eat us. That's gotta be a plus, no?
However, ARIN won't have the address space. So we'll have to say no for the very first time.
Hmmm, maybe that's part of the problem? They never say no to anyone. Do all those companies really need all those IP blocks? Maybe if they had said "no" once in a while we'd have another year or so to work out how we'll get everyone over to IPv6.

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred./home/jonathan/mirror/ajax/server.cgi in ()

All those lines of code sure would be easier if they were sorted by line number... maybe this 'JAXless AJAX can format the errors in a new way, too?
Like a true slashdotter I have not read the article, but the precursor to AJAX was just to use iFrames (or pre-iframe frames). Is this any different or better?
Well, it's AJAX without all the pesky 'JAX'... but it does have an iFrame*, so it's 'Ai'... not to be confused with 'AI' which is something completely different. Now, the 'Ai' may have a JSON appended to replace the 'X', which would make it 'AiJ' which is completely different from AJAX, though not necessarily better (not necessarily as in not).
* iFrame has no relation to iPads, iPhones, iPods or any other iApple product. The occurrence of the vowel is purely coincidental... though I think iFrames are about as popular with good web designers as iApples are with Linux coders.
I don't think HTC or any other handset maker is a good fit for Palm. Portions of the Palm IP would just get absorbed into their existing products and quickly lost to the ages.
IMHO Cisco would be a good suitor for Palm. Cisco has international manufacturing & distribution, a lot of hardware/software/networking experience, plenty of consumer & corporate products history with their own brand, Linksys and now Flip, and Palm would be a well established brand name and technology base for Cisco to branch out into the "cell phone when away from home and cell phone over VoIP while at home" tech trend that's starting up.
Hey How are you doing?,I ordered one white 3gs apple iphone from one good website www.aofenl.com , much cheaper but brand new,agenuine , You can check it if you would like . Cheers
You left out the best part. Did you get a great deal on that iPhone from aofenl.com?
Martin Prince is a trusted, if not regularly abused, alpha-geek who just might be trying to send you something important. That's why.
Oh I get it -- in this scenario, I am stupid. Got it, thanks...
I don't think he was implying that it was limited to this scenario... but that's just my take on ACtard's post. But just because you aren't stupid enough to open an 'exe' attachment from anyone doesn't mean most people who test negative for/. are smart enough to not open it.
I think many of us of/. take offense when a comment implies that we as individuals are apt to do something stupid when the comment usually is directed at the public in general, who usually are stupid enough to do something stupid when it comes to computer security.
It looks like Facebook is trying to back into a Buzz style privacy uproar one step at a time. I wonder if a slow erosion of privacy will be swallowed easier than Google's 'Buzz gulp' of all-at-once exposure?

Reminds me of that line from "Absence of Malice" that "everything they said was accurate but none of it was true".

Reimburse them ... or ... maybe what they should do is give the "victims" extended subscriptions instead ... that's probably exactly what they want ;-)
Heads in a jar just like on Futurama!
I guess an isolated brain isn’t good enough for them and they want the whole 'head enchilada'.

I'll sell you my IP address for $25
I'm sure that if I wait a little longer I'll be able to buy your IP address from either Facebook or Google for about $1.00
