This penalty for security breach is not harsh enough. With the advances in technology making our lives easier (almost too easy) so is the making easy of criminal activity.
Security should come above profits for this kind of company and we the public need to hold them to a high standard. We need to make it impossible for them to have any profits without good security.
My bank, for one, is advancing in online security and I am happy about that.
He has cured spam and I am king of the world. Never mind that my world is the tiny part that is six feet by six feet by six feet. But, I am king of this world!.
I think that the main reason for this is that DRM is great in thoery but nobody can make it work in practice. There is nothing in GPL3 that will be allowed to hide information (like no sources) but nothing will prohibit use restrictions as long as the source code is provided.
Since this was done at universities, we probably paid for that study. You can pay me and I can tell you that I have wasted a large part of my career sitting in useless, boring meetings. One job I had to spend a half day a week in a "team building" meeting. That was a total waste of productivity.
Oh yes, junk science. I just love this stuff. Anywhere from "we are destroying the ozone with man made CFCs" to "cars are the leading producers of polution". Let's forget about the sun and volcanic eruptions. Let us not concern oursevles with natural changes in the wind paths. Don't forget about the dangerous whole in the ozone.
We have sooooooooo much evidence that all of the environmental problems are man made. We have millions of years of measured results to compare. We know so much about the world, that we are experts.
Oh, what's that? We only have a very, very small fraction of the knowledge needed to make such conclusions? I am so sorry, I just confused the scientific community with somebody that really knows what is going on.
The world is comming to an end alright, but there isn't a living soul that can tell when. There isn't anyone who even has a clue as to when anyone might even know.
Has anyone considered a meteor shower that can wipe us all out?
It's not "why would I want to?", it's more like "Why would I even care?" I am really going to buy overpriced hardware designed to use softare that only elite snobs run (or doorstops) when I can run anything from anyone on affordable hardware? This is really a waste of valuable internet space.
This is not yet a rival of hard drives. Cost per megabyte is still too high. Since we can buy 250Gbyte hard drives for around $100 the same in flash is about $11,000. It has a long way to be useful and cost effective as a HD.
Virtual machine that would be truly usable on the desktop is a pipe-dream. Becuase of video hardware, there will be tons of games, video editing, video playback and other softare that will not be able to run in any kind of virtual machine. Only after a redisign of the bus mastering subsystem (PCI & PCI-X) with this be possible. Only one OS can truly "own" the machine and manage it, making the other OS extremely limited in it's hardware use.
You Linux command line users won't have any problem with this though. I use Linux command line a lot too.
You only THINK that the funds raised will be payed down on the deficit. Try again. More money comming into the federal government will mean that they can spend more and invade our personal lives even more!
Digital TV isn't that great. I am a tech junkie and I don't have it. I tried it and so no bang for the buck. We don't need it. It is just a nice thing to have and should co-exist with the current system if the market wants it, it can replace the current system. Only if the market drives it that way. Period.
WOW! just what I need. Another buddy list that nobody subscribes to. I hope they make it work with AIM, Yahoo, and not to forget my favorite forced MSN Messenger.
I have undeniable, unrefutable, absolute proof that humans were planted here by space aliens. Is someone will give me a $5 million grant I will publish my findings and all of the proof. This is amazing. It is so absolutly unrefutable. Nobody can prove this wrong or even question it.
"thought to be the precursor to the eye" and "could have arisen as a double-layered transparent tissue" are not very scientific statements. As stated before. THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE ORIGIN OF LIFE WAS A POOL OF GOO THAT EVOLVED INTO WHAT IT IS TODAY. There is some evidence of evolution but not progressive evolution from nothing (or nearly nothing). If anyone is a real thinking person then prove that you cant throw a pile of sticks and some glue up in the air and it will come down as a glued together, perfect box. The nature of life, the structure of life, and the existance of life can only be explained as an engineering miracle that was created. PERIOD.
I will believe in any other explanation if you can show me the exact proof with an established timeline.
Stupid, stupid, stupid people. First rule: anything over $500 use an escrow service. This is well worth the cost. Second rule: buyer beware. Third rule: only buy from highly rated buyers with a long history (all good). Fourth rule: if in doubt, don't bother with it.
I have NEVER been ripped off on ebay and have done dozens of transactions as well as assisted others.

We must eliminate the #1 and #2 sources of greenhouse gasses. The sun and all of the plant life on earth. yea, that will cure all of our problems!
I thought the news selection process was more strict that this.
What amazes me even more, are the number of posts!
It must be a slow day.
"state of California FAILED US:
It appears to me that the state of California is always failing!

He who makes little sense, makes the most.
ACLU stands for American Civil Liberal Union.

Any laws that restrict marketers are a plus in my book. Helping marketing usually is at the inconvenience of the consumer.
Anti spam laws are useless since nearly all of the spam that I get originates in China where there is no consideration for the rest of the world.

Maybe the fake products actually work.
I find no problem with this. M$ blogs are not blocked for al 10,300 employees of my systems and in my home as well.
I wouldn't say racist. I would say realist. I have worked with the french.
Besides that, chicken shit is chicken shit!
Both of my boys played online throughout an entire large mall last Monday. Any Wi-Fi hotspot with unsecured 802.11b seems to work.

This looks to me like another standard the is dead before it is even thought of as a real standard. Does anyone remember I2O?
