Actually I think that Facebook is shooting for something completely different than the Amazon market. Amazon is trying to bring competition to the app-space where Facebook is attempting to subvert everything that's done on the phone. Amazon want to sell apps that will run on your phone. Facebook wants to give you apps that run inside of the Facebook app. Facebook wants to be to the iPhone sort of what ChromeOS is to the netbook. You turn on your phone, open up the Facebook shell and then run all your apps inside their framework, this approach is much more damaging to Apple than a competing market like Amazon is.
They got the passwords by getting into a unknown website's database (obviously smart money is on writerspace.com). The email breakdown at the top of the article corresponds to the email that was associated with the accounts. None of the email services (hotmail or gmail) were actually compromised. Knowing Lulzsec's past work they probably got access via a simple SQL injection.
ANAL = Ammonia-Nitrate + Aluminium Powder an extremely volatile mix. So much so that the heat from rubbing two rough wooden boards together can set it off. So if you make the container and pressure plate out of wood, there's no way for a metal detector to find it, our jammers don't work because there's no RC signal, and there's no give-away like an ant trail because it's victim operated and completely self contained.
Just because a people have less access to modern technology doesn't make them any less creative. Any insurgent, whether in Libya like in the article, Iraq, Afghanistan, soon Yemen, is on equal mental footing to us.
Insurgents in Iraq have been stripping RC components to make IEDs for years. In Afghanistan we came across IEDs with *no* metal signature made from wood and AnAL, with multiple triggers, including anti-tampering devices.
No he didn't start tracking until the 20th of January so that month's number is low. And it's not the end of the month yet so May's number is low.
If you consider 11 days in January = 61.67 GB that's ~5.6 GB per day. So if that was an accurate of per day bandwidth the entire month it would be about 174 GB for the month, much closer to his February number. We can do the same thing with May and find 7.715 GB per day and a projected 239.165 GB for this month.
Overall if you were to plot the numbers it shows a steady increase in usage from January to now. So if anything you should have left out the "and got her back in May" part because that would imply he's slowly sinking deeper into the world of the internet after February.
When I read that comment I was thinking: I wish there was a way to save my favorite slashdot comments. Maybe a firefox extension that would allow you to mark a comment you like and then you could go back and see all the comments you had marked. Or does that already exist?
I don't think Don Rumsfeild is the devil himself, I think he's a good patriot. I just disagree with some of the positions he advocated (like not sending enough troops in at the start of the war and disbanding the Republican Guard). The connotation that the man never made a mistake is preposterous we all make mistakes.
The media didn't try to "demonify" each and everything the Bush Administration did. Let's not get into the fact that it was the Bush Administration that put out "news releases" advocating their views using a TV news format, that it was the Bush Administration that paid conservative columnists for their supports, or that the Bush Administration planted "journalist" Jeff Gannon (not his real name) into white house press conferences to lob sympathetically slanted questions. Let's ignore how the media hounded Clinton (remember that accusations that his administration's vandalism of the White House on the way out that the Bushies never materialized documentation of). There is no liberal media bias in the US.
Karl Rove (Note the K) is a slimeball. Rove lied to federal investigators about a "bug" being planted in his office while he was running campaigns for Bush in Texas. He ran a smear campaign against McCain the republican primaries. From the outing of undercover CIA operatives to the firing of US prosecutors and the imprisonment of Democratic governors he has overstepped the law in order to accomplish political partisan gains.
During the Texas redistricting warrant controversy DeLay attempted to get Democrats arrested (the FBI called him and I'm quoting, a "Wacko"). The Ethics Committees found he abused the FAA. He helped start the K Street Project. He encouraged violence against the judges in the Terri Shivo case. He was best buddies with Abramoff. He violated election laws while fund raising.
I hope you're joking about this one. "There's only one kind of Conservative"???? As noted in comments above there is no one type of liberal or conservative. It's a spectrum with Communist on one side and fascists on the other. Neo-Cons differ from other conservatives in their scope of conservative views (gun control by all means and right is a conservative position) and also the way they go about achieving these goals.
Dick Cheney in 1992: "I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home...And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."
I don't think we disagree here.
I don't see what point you're trying to make here
Please cite your sources here
I'm sure any sane person knows 9/11 wasn't an inside job
We've paid off most of the war debt? We've cut the deficit in half? You should either be a fiction author or a fox news anchor. All new highs of the economy? You must live in a cave or be Sean Hannity. I'd check your sources.
I can vouch for that, I know a good amount of Marines that started smoking (and chewing) just because it was something to do when all the hurry up and wait is going on.
Best and brightest of the Ukraine and Russia huh? Do you have any idea how many pissed off hackers we're going to have in the US if Telcos try to set up toll lane system here? Hell I'd half expect a Mircosoft/Google partnership to open up their own ISP if this happened. There's going to be plenty of violation within our borders right off the bat.
I like last.fm. That said. I use Yahoo!'s unlimited music service. That's proablly because it's the first one I'd been exposed to. But I have a clarification to make. Yahoo! doesn't only let you rate songs, artists, genres and albums from 1 to 5. They let you rate them from 1 to 100. This allows you so much better control when you're telling the music engine what you like it's not funny. It's slow to start but once you rate more and more, the radio station gets better and better. I assume when they said that the songs played were too main stream they didn't actually take time to rate anything (or were using the crappy 1 to 5 scales). When you first start to use the service there's a lot of mainstream artists played until you input what you like. Then the selections start getting better and better. I'd say it's a mix of 65/45 with artists you've rated high and artists they think you'll like. I'd recommend the service to anyone, it's cheap and it's a great investment. I can go to any internet accessable computer and in minutes be listening to the songs that I like.
Well you're absolutly right about the artist vs. programmer ratio. I'm trying right now to think of an analogy that would correctly compare the arists and programmers of video games to people who work with movies...but I don't know enough about how movies are made so let me say this: while developers do like to produce a game for all three consoles (which they should, it maximizes their profits) that doesn't mean that they'll shy away from the Wii. What it does mean is we'll see less small name, low budget ports on the Wii. It also means that there will be a handful of third-party games for the Wii that won't be seen on the other two systems and the other way around too. Specialization is good for everyone. If all the consoles played all the same games then the market would saturate much quicker...that's why it's so important to have a strong first-party lineup of games.
If you get a completely different expirence from playing one console than the other then you're more likely to buy both of them. If you're strapped for cash or only want one system this time around then you'll pick which one gives you more of the expirence you're looking for. Maybe that's Nintendo, maybe it's not. The important thing is that by seperating themselves from the competition Nintendo actually greatly improves their chances of success. I'm not saying it's a sure thing but it was a smart move. I don't feel the need to go real in depth into possible ideas for Nintendo this time around or how video games are actually made because the overlying conecept of this post is this: I'm not disagreeing with just adding to what you said, that the differences aren't nesscarly a bad thing.
You know what, since nobody else seems to want to do it, I'll go out on a limb here and defend M$ this time. I'm impressed they claimed that the HTML isn't bad. I think it's good of them to man up. Because in saying that the new stuff isn't bad, they're admitting the old HTML code in word was.....and they're taking steps to fix the problem. If you actually looked at the source from the article (which was generated using word), it looked clean and readable. Nothing like the HTML we used to see from Word. On/. everytime Word is mentioned you get the same old responces, "I haven't touched a new verison of word since 97", "they haven't added any new features that are worthwhile", and "I don't even use the program, it's M$ they suck". Fair enough. But can you really complain about them not adding new features, then bitch when they obviously start thinking and try to? Do you think the people who post here are Word's targeted consumers? The majority of people don't really understand that much about computers, nor do they want to. They like to check email, surf the web, chat online, write in their blog, and upload their pictures for everyone to see. So the fact that the new Word might have a blog publishing feature is a big deal for most people who use the lastest versions of Word.
For those of you curious.....A wife is commonly refered to as: A woman joined to a man in marriage; a female spouse........or so dictionary.com tells me.

Come on you know the white house right now is going....hmmm a new energy huh?
My prediction? We find a way to make it into a bomb....just like you know everything else we have....stone, fire, nuclear explosions? That's great but can we blow people up with it?
Well they treat evolution like it's not a process that every living thing goes through. It's a natural part of the reproductive cycle. It's not like all of a sudden.......look it's evolving and the next thing you know we were walking upright....I think humans are just amazed that they're not that special....you know we're all animals.
Well I suppose that all depends on how you define CS. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science) defines it as, " the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems". With a definition that broard there a many applications that require a better education than what you speak of. There's still a lot of programming that gets done at the assembly level. There's still a lot of programming that isn't involved in staight code. There's robotics and there's AI and there are other emerging feilds that need a degree program to produce people who are educated enough to do the work. Not to mention all the math and physics that are involved in CS.
And that's what makes the military great. Because you fight for something bigger than yourself. Because you actually do something to help with the defense of your country and the greater freedom of people around the world. You give up free speech and other things to give it to other people who don't have it. You finally become part of something bigger that's not all about me me me. Because it's not easy to join because you need to have faith in those above you to keep you safe. You have to have blind trust that you're doing the right thing and that the orders you got are good to go and that for the vast majority of people is impossible.
