And for crying out loud this slashdot crowd is just knee-jerk idiots that china bash without reason - giving that comment 4 insightful. God help us, I thought this crowd is educated.
"fighting anti-censorship movement" may be part of Google's philosophy but cannot and is not their corporate objective - if it is then they would've registered as non-prof or NGO or something. OTOH, seriously, what's the real chance that Google leaving will "start a intellectual and philosophical movement in China". How realistic could that be really?
The language code of the file is in Chinese - well they may have employed the manufacturer to write that.dll? I understand there's a chance that the hacker COULD BE Chinese but it's not even remotely conclusive. Why anytime anybody mentioned anything about Chinese then it's all about "highly authoritarian state who is known to employ hackers", slave labour, environment, blah blah blah. I'm not saying they don't have these problems but this post has remote speculative prospect to do with Chinese and all of a sudden it's yet another Chinese bashing thread. Slashdot: stop whining and do something about it - western world is feeding the problem itself buying the goods that it wants. I am sick and tired of anything bad with even remote linkage to Chinese has to be a bashing against them with mostly speculations, yet we're here happily using all the cool/cheap stuff manufactured there. Get off the moral high horse because we are part of the problem. If I'm OT here the parent is OT as well.
C) There aren't enough apps. What apps would make sense to port to this device? Lynx? Most other things would need more CPU power (making it non-energy efficient) or a colour screen.
It's way more than Lynx. There's elm, gopher, nn and with a built-in modem, you should be able to connect to BBS too.
All sounds logical, though if #2 really works out the way it is, all big/medium/small bands should have all flocked to option #2 asap. I don't see it happening currently - why?
The 6M users demonstrate your ability in building games - which is probably your biggest asset. I'm not so sure about the framework itself - you probably haven't licensed it to anybody as it's not released. If it is a game-framework company then it should show some traction on selling the game-framework. Other companies or VC...etc. all will look at this. If the target buyer only wants the game-framework, then you'll selling the IP. There is not a lot of goodwill in your company right now for the game-framework.
I thought no matter how the ads source are like, the TV/radio techies has to 're-align' the sign so that they are in similar range (normalize, limit/compress, EQ). Yes? No? Why do we need more legislation?
FYI the previous place I worked at (IT product vendor) pays 10% extra of the salary for the week that one is required to carry the pager. If things happen, it's minimum 3 hours of OT work. The requirement is obviously, must be in-town, cannot do things that may affect the potential call (e.g. alcohol).
Here, do this the next time your party is in charge: Take your income tax bill and write a check for double that. Because at our rate of spending, we only tax for half our expenditures. It doesn't matter who is in charge.
It us unfortunate that we have come full circle and now have taxation without representation. Our children and our kids have no representation in congress, yet they get to inherit our bills.

And this is a state of capitalism and democracy?

OT: Any difference between China and the States? It is much less than some Slashdotter may want to think. Don't even get started on human rights, disparity on rich and poor...etc. It is only that China legal and political system are years behind - once they catch up, they'll be USA 2.0.
News is better when it's controlled by tens of thousands of independent individuals, each providing a different viewpoint, than when it's controlled centrally.
Seriously, I'd think it's not about just Asia culture but the result of free market and the global village. North American wants Walmart/resource-exploit lifestyle, China feeds to it with cheap labour. To me, the China situation is comparable to illegal immigrants in the states. Everybody hates them (they'are commie/illegal), but OTOH, people benefits from them without knowing it.
Sure, just don't buy ANYTHING from this country, otherwise you're supporting a repressive regime. Calling people's name doesn't strengthen your argument.
or was pushed over the balcony ledge by a bunch of company goons who were told to make an example of him to employees, with a public story that "our employees are so dedicated to your security, they'll..."? And really, how impartial do you think the investigation is going to be? In China, these companies own and run entire cities that make Mall of America look like a strip-mall. They don't even need to pay off the police- they already employ them. .
Just answer me one question: where you get all those information from? Seriously, where? Slashdotter loves China bashing, and you take it to the next lower level. Shame on modders for "Interesting".

Security Industry Faces Growth and Sales Opportunities into Perpetuity.
It's not that they will but they are caving in as of today.
And you think the people over there don't know what happened? Does the people there really care?
You already got partially answered by them still filtering as of today.

2. ????
3. Profit!
1. Pick up on an OSS project
2. Create a company around it and wave the OSS flag
3. ????
4. Profit!

To further that argument, I think the main culprit is Al Gore, who invented the Internet. No?
