I believe this exploit has already been patched in FoxIT, assuming this is the same exploit descibed here on SlashDot 2 weeks ago. Strangely, I haven't seen an update from Adobe...
I installed Puppy Linux on a 14 year old laptop and discovered that it was more responsive than my work supplied XP desktop running a 3GHz dual core. It's a sad state of affairs. It's not just Windows either, I played with a MacBook Air the other day and was very disappointed.
I'd rather have Google get my information that all the malware using the frequent IE exploits. That may eventually change, but currently... I'd stick with Chrome over IE.
It's cheaper and easier to have a lower resolution front-facing camera as it removes the need for moving, easily breakable parts. Other camera have had this for about 3 years, the technology (and precedence) is well established. The question is are they going to allow Skype to be used over 3G?
You can build a machine with better specs cheaper these days if that's the only functionality you want. To get a BR player, game console and Linux box is a good deal.
I thought the option was only there to skirt tax laws and get the machine taxed as a 'computer'... perhaps the laws have now closed the loophole? It could have just been a rumour of course.
I figured people were just trashing it unfairly, so I watched it with my 'free PPV' perk I got with my cable plan. I paid nothing and still felt ripped off. If you haven't seen it, don't... seriously. This is not a 'Hudson Hawk', or other movie that some will like and some won't. I'd put it up with 'Stepbrothers' and a few others for worst movie of all time.
Sure you can scale SQL databases. The real point is that it takes a lot more work to do it than with a NoSQL database, and in some cases the advantages of SQL aren't worth the hassle. It depends on what problem you're trying to solve and what your other constraints are.
As long as Google continues to be run more by engineers than MBAs, they will be a little different. There used to be more companies like that, but they all seem to have died. The death usually seems to be caused by MBAs and accountants focusing only on the immediate stock price and the next quarter. There is no long term vision anymore.
Perhaps they're too busy embracing, extending, and extinguishing to innovate. It does seem to happen to most companies. Google seems to be avoiding it so far, but they're young, and a little bit different than the typical company as well.
My guess is that eventually the guardians of the English language will change. The older meaning will become a historical note like many other words whose meaning changes over time. Look at how the definitive measure of a metre has changed to become more accurate. Things change.

And now that its paid off, they're going for more money by killing it. Despicable.
... especially with them pushing zLinux so people do not completely dump existing mainframe installations.
Open source has made IBM a lot of money. Now they want to have their cake and eat it too.
I'm hoping everybody remembers this and the ongoing gouging for BD movies next time Sony is involved in a format war.
... except that Java runs just fine in 64 bit Linux on an AMD. Adobe Air ... no so much.
nations with looser copyright laws
This is one place where the standard spelling error seen on SlashDot would completely reverse the meaning. Glad you spelled it correctly.
Others are starting to do this as well. It probably won't go any where until we move the standard place where the underscore is on the keyboard.
Anybody remember this? A flash interpreter done in JavaScript would be a nice option to have for iPhone and iPad users ...

So far, I consider the services I get from Google to be a fair trade for the information they get from me.

Frequently, the developers, admins, and DBAs that you're pissing off become the next managers.

Well they damn well should be.

How about movies?

Interesting, but the term 'megadyke' scares me a little.
Yeah, especially in BASIC.
That's not what they mean. Check this out:
