Since Google doesn't have read that NDA nor signed it themselves nor can they identify what knowledge an employee has is illicit or not, how can this be Google's fault?
Inducing someone to commit a crime is in itself a crime (and the same for civil violations). This will likely be the basis of their argument.
Sounds like a flaw in your banking system. Ours would never allow you to withdraw money from an account without being the authorised owner or a signatory to the account.
Or they reject dozens of submissions linking to an authoritative source in favour of some bullshit regurgitation from some blog with thousands of ad spots on it.
Except if said merchant had 3DS authentication (Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode), then the bank cannot actually reverse the transaction, and must eat the cost itself.
If you buy an iPhone, you're also giving Microsoft money. Every iPhone or iPad ships with actual implemented MS tech in them (Exchange support for a start).
This, this, a thousand times this. The only thing more dangerous to Windows servers is the typical UNIX sysadmin convert who thinks that just because it's Windows it requires constant babysitting and twiddling. Get this folks: it doesn't. Like UNIX, you just set it up, optimize it, and leave it the fuck alone. It can run on its own, it doesn't require you to hold its hand. Just check in once a month to see if you need to install any of the patches (and news flash: you don't need to install them all. Half of them will be shit like "Improves performance of right click when used with a left handed mouse on a computer with an Adaptec S23454325 RAID controller")
Or, it could fit in nicely with Skype's "Skype for Business" plans as well with standards compliant SIP connectivity rather than some proprietary (is it still proprietary if it's open? I assume so, as you can't use it with anything else) connector.
Which actually proves the point rather effectively. Skype could simply have decided that their native SIP offering was sufficient to meet the needs of IP-PBX users and to kill off the duplication to avoid confusion. Asterisk is compatible with SIP endpoints after all, yes?
Uh, any small company without a solid credit history and references to prove it is almost guaranteed these days to be required to sign agreements with their suppliers/creditors which make the directors personally liable for payment for services rendered.
Considering just how much existing VoIP crap (including Microsoft's) runs over SIP, has anyone considered that it's possible that Skype simply decided to kill off the third party hack and focus on building native SIP connectivity? It would certainly jibe with their sudden desire to look more appealing to business users, with the ability to plug into virtually any IP-PBX solution in existence (and let's be honest, in the corporate world no-one runs Asterisk).
Funny, if Google had bought Skype and this same thing had happened, people would all be describing it as I just did. But hey, don't let rational thought get in the way of your hate-fest.
No, it's not integrated into Windows. It has never been integrated into Windows (though Trident was entrenched a little too deeply in Win2000 and lower, it's certainly never been "in the kernel" like some of the Open Source FUD Movement would have you believe). At all. It's in fact less priviledged than other applications on the system even (on Vista and 7 where such sandboxing is possible) - to run any code outside the user's little space, it needs to call across to an application running outside the sandbox (which requires UAC approval the first time). The only thing that makes this insecure is that Windows allows Adobe software to be installed (Flash's helper has a "run arbitrary executable" and "save arbitrary file" function, defeating the purpose). One could argue that Safari has more priviledges it has zero business having.
And just to point out, Windows 7 can be configured to demand the user password for UAC prompts too. The only difference from Mac OS is that you get to choose how annoying you want it to be or disable it. Arguably, maybe you shouldn't be able to do that.
IE isn't integrated in Windows, just like Safari isn't integrated into OS X. Safari and IE are merely chrome around their respective HTML renderers - WebKit and Trident. Neither of which is "integrated" into the OS but both are used extensively by first party and third party applications.
56000 kbps / 8 bpB * 60 s/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 30 day/month = 18 144 000 000 bytes per month == 18 GB/month $49.95 for phone plus $9.95 for dial-up = $59.90 for 18 GB per month
Of course, you'd need to account for the fact that after 4 days at 24 hours, the ISP cancels your account for violating the "fair use policy"...
My sig, by the way, specifically relates to the "disable ads" option provided to those who browse Slashdot a lot. If you have the option available, subscribing removes it. And if you have it enabled, then subscribe, the subscription negates it.
2) Windows isn't that good when you only have a very few servers. Unlike unix and unixlike OSes, with Windows it's usually not easy to rename a directory/file that is in use. Why is that important? It makes quick upgrades harder. You have to jump through more hoops to do a quick switch from "version 1.0" to "version 2.0". There are ways to do it (go figure them out), but it's a lot more work to do things "right" (and likely to still stink more than the unix way:) ).
If he's wanting Windows, it's likely because his application is written in ASP.NET. ASP.NET does not lock the application files even while serving the request, to support just this particular use case. And you can drain off all active connections by dropping a non-empty file called "app_offline.htm" into the root of the application even.
You don't need Windows Server CALs for websites exposed to the internet [provided they don't use NTLM security]. Provided you're using Web Edition you don't even need the External Connector License. Same applies for SQL Server.
As an aside, it costs maybe $10-$20 per month to run Windows on a dedicated server/VPS, provided the datacenter has a SPLA.
If you actually plan (and know what you're doing), you don't have to pay thousands or even tens of thousands (well, maybe you will over the lifetime of the project, but whatever. Linux has an intrinsic cost too, it's just not in dollars and cents).
Obscene? OBSCENE? That would be heaven to us here! $80/mo for 3GB (on top of the call plan) is obscene! $80/mo for 10GB would be incredible! It'd be cheaper than land lines!
While I like this solution on the iPhone, where every bit of screen counts. I'm not sure that I would want this on my laptop or desktop.
I'm already a little annoyed with the way tabs work on chrome. I can easily open enough of them that I can't see an icon for each tab and only get the first letter of the name of the page, also there is no list of tabs anywhere. It makes navigation more difficult.
Shift+Esc to open Chrome's task manager, double click on the page you want to switch to.
This is, of course, completely wrong. The rules are that you may not store credit card details for longer than absolutely necessary. Since Sony stores them for the purpose of allowing you to purchase without re-entering the details, it meets the requirement of "necessary" therefore does not violate PCI DSS. You are, of course, forbidden to store the CV2 code, but the little known fact is that CV2 is not actually required to perform a charge anyway.

You do realise PayPal is owned by eBay right? So eBay is actually creating it's own protection racket via a subsidiary.

You know, the bouncing around the screen trick is pretty pointless when you can just Ctrl+W the tab.

By which you mean "served via the Akamai caching network, which happens to use Linux". You might want to pick an example which is actually true.

No, because there's no such thing.
There are some treaties related to IP, but not every country signed all of them.
- Permit users to easily select text in a document and adjust that selection; and
Er, I'm still sure Android doesn't infringe on that one.

Only if it's Microsoft lying about other people. If it's other people lying about Microsoft, it's "not fact based".
Install for just you and the Mac won't pop up the password dialog either.
