There's botnets running on government computers in most countries, China is probably not an exception. I'm not saying they didn't do it, just that IPs are not complete proof.
Stopping innovation since the beginning of time. Times change, people change, perceptions change. Email domains are like clothing. You might like showing up for work in a Victorian era outfit, but you're gong to get some strange looks. Try it in an interview and you won't likely get through the door, unless it's a quiet day in need of some entertainment.
I think it's quite insightful. Check the number of exploits over the last couple of years. I'm at the point where I keep Adobe software on systems to an absolute minimum, as these days they seem to be the number one target for exploits. Reducing their attack surface (and improving their software quality) would go a long way to reducing the number of exploits.
I thought it was funny too, but maybe that's just me.
I think that might have been the "Last Word" section. I still remember an article saying "I've always been afraid of clowns. I wonder if it has something to do with a clown killing my father". Did Jack Handy rip that off for SNL's "Deep Thoughts", or did he write for Omni as well?
They need a warrant, just not multiple warrants. This is how it's supposed to work. They prove to a judge that they have reasonable grounds to monitor a persons communications, and only then to they do so.
Exactly. If you're coding in Assembly, you damn well better comment, but if you're coding in Java, I'd better not need much, if any. Generally, any high level language code in need of a lot of comments should never make it through code review.
I find he GP is right about the screen size though. The biggest improvement I'd make to netbook is to move to a 1024x768 or better resolution screen. I'd even give up a bit more processor power for it. The screen resolution is what I find really crippling about my netbook. If it had a better screen, I could probably even use it for software development, instead of limited browsing, etc.
There are still legions of 30+ year olds that think Sony means quality, as well as large number of PlayStation Fanboys that either don't know about Sony's anti-consume practices, or don't care. The good news is that they seem to be improving.

We know because we hacked their servers ... duh.
I'd hope that this would be nice nice wake-up call to companies to use proper security procedures, but I'm guessing nothing will change.
Maybe programmers should get their own keyboard.
Many of us now earn enough to have our own keyboards.
It might be funny, but I seem to remember a scripted version of exactly that process as the first BluRay copying crack.
The only good news here is that is actually possible for both of them to lose ... if consumers don't buy into either scheme.
If the damned thing works, don't mess with it.

... but it conveniently sounds like "suck asses" which can be used to describe an especially poor implementation. It's a trade-off.
What about that "money, power, and women" thing?
I think you still need to use your voice minutes to talk, unless you have a VOIP number.
Goatse guy is probably sitting at home waiting for offers.

Oh come on, evildoers? Really? Where are we? Kindergarten? I had hoped that this word vanished with the imbecile who introduced it.

At least in New Zealand they still need a warrant.
Kind of, but it does seem that only the stupid and short-sighted are playing for the western nations at this point.
Haven't books really been open source all along anyway? They're not always copyright free, but anyone can read them.
.. and also, you are correct. With code that needs to be deciphered, you're generally better off re-writing it.
You shouldn't need to decipher the code. Most of the problem is not the missing documentation, but the poorly written code.
In most high level languages, description method or function names tell you why as well.

I'm not fully versed in the hillbilly vernacular, but I believe the appropriate idiom is "Give 'er".
