IMHO the most important thing in the article is that the malware was digitally signed. This exposes the weakness in digital signatures. Not only for applications and modules(drivers) but UEFI and all of the other "secure boot" ideas.
I expected the colonization of Mars to start in the 60's, atmospheric mining on Venus to start the 70's, and the U.S. to become proficient in math and science by 80's. Sadly, I have come to believe none of the above will ever happen.
Gutenburg missed out on selling trinkets to Catholics, invented the "mobile type" printing press, printed a bible because it was safe, and ended up helping to destroy the Christian induced sociopathic environment Europe had fallen into by making knowledge easily distributable. Now a Christian organization wants to use the new and improved method of distributing knowledge to translate a bible in languages with currently unsupported types in an attempt to endoctrinate them.
If an artist asks people down loading songs from their website to pay $1.00 and only 7% of the people pay, they make more than if they were in bed with a label.
That they manipulated the language in the contract, knowing they were going to sell licenses to resellers to avoid paying artists the higher percentage on each sale, without informing the artist of their intentions. There is legal ambiguity for a party to specify in a contract that he/she/it will "pay a cost if an action is (not) taken" when they know in advance that they themselves are not only eligible to (not) take that action but are knowingly going to (not) take that action after the contract has been signed.
This is a feel sorry for Windows developers article not a Microsoft is screwing people article. Not to say Microsoft developers aren't people. When Microsoft's ARM products come out locked down to only allow Windows to be installed I'm sure/. will post that article with the borge icon.
I would think both would be exactly the same. Both are learning a series of taps. One is location based where the other is audio based. Learning would be up to which skill the individual was stronger at. Personally, I think drawing a character is the easiest. A hybrid gesture / character recognition software couldn't be any more difficult to write than either of the other two. In all reality though, voice recognition is going to beat all of them... considering it is already available.
A china based company will open its doors paying higher wages and forcing fewer hours and charge 10% more. Force them to compete with each other without using/abusing their employees. If customers don't insist the people they are dealing with are fairly with their employees then nothing will change.
Yeah! They are a business. Companies like Foxconn should put up video cameras next to the nets and charge people for footage when an employee jumps out the window. Maximize those opportunities!! [/snark]
It is more practical to target them one at a time. Targeting the largest consumer of Foxconn's products first makes it more likely that people will have an effect. If Apple hears people and uses their massive nest egg to do the right thing, that will be a big chunk out of Foxxconn's wallet. Also, when one company sees people successfully beat up a company and know they might be next, they tend to start doing the right thing more quickly.

I like being short and round. It allows me to roll from one room to the other.

Popular belief is that argumentum ad populum is not an argument.
Yes, but "the meaning of life" is to define.
AT&T will lay off people, close buildings, and profit thanks to improvements in technology.
You sir are an optimist.
What if there was something on the moon that would have made colonizing Mars easier, like WMD's or people who have never hear'd of hebe jebez?
Yeah. One of Maganese's uses is to control rust in steel. I used Galvanizing as a generalized term. I should have know better on /.
Maganese oxide? I thought Maganese was used for Galvanizing metal. Doesn't that mean it doesn't "oxidate"? :P

Golden Delicious offers a Debian Squeeze for ARMEL distribution featuring the lightweight LXDE desktop environment.
I wish I had $800 bucks to spend. :(
Please don't give U.S. utility companies any ideas. The last thing I need is to have to pay bills in advance.

I think it is more for their 93%-95%.
I wonder what they will choose to argue in court.

Agreed. It is a light at the end of a tunnel playing the evil Windows start up jingle.

Could you provide a link please. Last I looked, 2010, minimum wage in Brazil was triple that of China. I like to keep up to date.
