What are you talking about? The ActiveState Perl installer configures that for you. You'd just enter the name of the Perl script and it would run. That's all. Even at the command prompt.
Uh, no. In most sane organisations, installing random software on the BUILD MACHINES is considered a giant no-no. The build machines should be as untainted as possible by anything except for the tools required to fetch the codebase and start the compile.
No, they aren't the same company at all. They're two separate associations run by their member banks. Some banks may be a member of both, but probably not all.
Nope. iPhone OS 3.2 is iPad only. There's a giant note on the download page for it. Again, this SDK will not work for iPhone. This is a giant non-story.
No, some plugins do need access to stuff outside of the sandbox - download managers for example. However, these can only be installed at user request and only with a UAC prompt. Note also that installation of brokers requires you run an installer outside of the browser context.
Correct except for one tiny little issue. Basically, a browser plugin can escape the sandbox by running a broker process outside of the browser context if they have a real need to. Adobe, arguably world leaders in information insecurity, decided that Flash (perhaps the most insecure plugin ever) needed that unsandboxed access, and created a broker for it. With functions like "writeArbitraryDataToHardDisk()" and "runArbitraryProbablyInsecureProgram()".
No, Cisco did not "happily sell Apple the rights". Cisco did not accept Apple's terms, and Apple just announced their product with the name anyway to force Cisco into accepting their terms. That's the very definition of playing dirty. Also, there was a product in production and being sold called the iPhone. Some VoIP product I think.
Of course, Apple has the ability to bend time and space to rewrite history, as evidenced by your comment.
Apple does have a track record of playing dirty. Such as when they released a product called "iPhone" when Cisco owned and used the trademark, knowing that their horde of fa... shareholders would cry foul at the big, nasty, scary Cisco rather than the slimy, conniving, sneaky Apple.
In addition to uploading any file into Google Docs, our Google Apps Premier Edition customers will be able to seamlessly upload many files at once and sync them with their desktop in real time using third party applications.
Presumably the "Premier Edition" part means you'll have to pay. So for the majority of applications where you have this much data, Google will give you convenience or zero cost, but not both.
Who gets the profits? The government. And since the moronic country elected a right wing corporatist party... well, you get the idea.
And petitioning the government is pointless. They held a referendum (total cost to taxpayer: $2.5 million) on whether to reinstate the reasonable force for corrective purposes (i.e. smacking your own kids) provision of the crimes act, and ignored the 80% in favour of it. They also ignored a petition for GST to be removed from staple goods (bread/milk) with tens of thousands of signatures (country population only 4 million).
The funny thing is that even with the authenticator, if they go to a phishing site and enter that code, they could still potentially get hacked, because now the phishing site has that tear-off code. Not sure exactly how the authenticator works, so maybe I'm wrong on this one.
You are. The code is only usable for about 30 seconds before it expires. And it makes brute force near impossible as you're prompted for the code regardless of whether you got the password right (and for bonus points, they don't tell you which item of information you got wrong - it could be the code or the password).

Wonder how Apple managed to miss something that obvious?
They managed to miss the trademark iPhone too when they announced that. It's sort of a trend.
Apple users tend to argue that in a battle between Apple and British American Tobacco, Apple would come out the winner.
And we know who'd get crushed in a fight to the death between those two.
It's called MasterCard SecureCode, and it's been around for ages.

He spelled it perfectly fine. Might want to crawl out from under the rock. Then again, sex analogies are probably way out of place on Slashdot.
You are the type of consumer the RIAA loves. They just made you pay for the same game twice - you fell into their nefarious trap!

UAC prevents it. You must run Notepad or whatever you're editing with elevated.
What? The URL string is not available over an SSL connection. Here's a transcript, including headers, of an HTTPS request.

You get the idea. No URI string available. All they could detect is the destination server.

Premier Edition is $50 USD per user per year.
If you were using Backpack for project management, you were doing it wrong. Basecamp is designed for that.
It's hard enough to get 3 people to agree on something, let alone an entire country. Unfortunately.
Is it just me, or is Democracy (or Republicanism, whatever you want to call it) one of the least effective governing theories?

or get a court to sign a gag order against you in a matter of hours.
Has there been a precedent for that?
Blackboard, Inc.
Yeah it is. The parent company is (wait for it) the Government. That's publicly owned.
Case insensitive, by the way.
And you're allowed "!" and "@" now? Nice.

We have software here where the only option is a parallel port dongle. You know how many parallel ports an HP DL385 G5 has? None.
Their passwords are case insensitive, and don't allow special characters. No bloody wonder.
