So, when Google came along, people climbed onto the roof of Yahoo headquarters and waited for the government to bail them out?
But seriously... the problem for Yahoo, and a lot of other companies, is/was as stated in the summary: They don't know if they're technology companies or media companies. Yahoo, Google, etc, are basically ad agencies which use their free services to honeypot people into their advertising ecosystem. I think Yahoo knew it was a media company when people thought they were a technology company, but didn't realize people thought they were a tech company. Google seems to be playing the "oh, we're just an innocent tech company making cool innovations n' stuff" game better, and minimized the impact of their ads.
Consequently, Google has become an advertising and content behemoth while people are still going on and on about how cool their "products" are. It's fucking stupid.
Mossad would probably kill him, then Israeli military and government spokes people would go on TV say "yeah, and if you criticize us you're an anti-Semite. Naziholocaust911."
When I accidentally left my iPod Nano in the pouch of my UnderArmour hoodie when I sent it through the wash over the weekend and now it won't turn on at all -- that's bricked. If I could re-flash it and fix it, then it wouldn't really be bricked, would it? But apparently kids these days can't tell the difference.
In modern parlance, "bricked" means "mildly inconvenienced for about 30 minutes" rather than "made completely inoperable to the point where the hardware is now about as useful as a standard brick" and "zero day" means "sometime within the next 5 years after the actual software was released in the first place."
They mean the early days of open source, not free software. Open source is like free software with less neck beard and socialist revolutionary rhetoric. They looked specifically to get into the enterprise by changing the way they dressed the same products in different packaging.
I think the news part is that the Linux Foundation is apparently releasing tools for dependency mapping and license inspection so that you can actually tell at a glance what licensing requirements you're going to face. Apparently it inspects dynamic and static symbol tables to see what you're linking against and in what way to find out if you're technically a 'derivative work' or not, among other issues.
I grew up in a fairly small town. I've had my checking account with the same bank since I was 18. Of the tellers there, one I went to high school with and she used to live across the street from me. The rest of the tellers and other officers have known my parents for a long, long time. When I go there, they know me fairly well. If I had a major issue, I'd drive the hour and a half home to go to that bank where they know and trust me, and I'd probably get taken care of properly. That's probably not typical, but I feel better about my ability to get my banking information taken care of than I do about being able to get a new job in this economy.
I have a university degree, certifications, and experience and I really don't think I could find a new job "within a couple of hours," at least not one that would be on par with my current position with regards to pay and benefits. Maybe that was true a few years ago, but not right now. However, with the amount of credit and background checks that go on industries like mine and positions where trust is an absolute requirement, having my identity stolen and my credit screwed up would definitely affect my ability to get a new job if I couldn't get it taken care of quickly and conclusively. That's probably on the mind of most of the people who said that they're more concerned about identity theft than their job.
Whenever someone would gain from people believing what they're saying, I think its more along the lines of an excuse than an admission. Or misdirection. The SEC saying "we need more people, and thus more money" is the same thing as Kim Jong Il "admitting" he doesn't have nuclear weapons to keep inspectors and/or invaders out. If the employees they have now would do their jobs rather than look at pr0n on government time and just build contacts until they can get jobs with major financial institutions helping them avoid the SEC, then this would likely would not have been an issue in the first place.
Yeah, and neither to private insurance companies, retailers, etc. Face it -- everyone is going to exploit whatever power they can when ever they can for as long as they can and only children believe otherwise. Some people are just way better at it than others.
Back in the day, the Constitution, as worded, basically framed the United States as "the several States," that is, separate entities. Senators were appointed by State legislatures and were the State's representatives to Congress. Each District in each State elected directly a Representative to the House to represent them. This is was all quite clear prior to Reconstruction.
Basically, its called 'Federalism' -- it's a compromise which recognizes that as a Virginian, while I have certain common interests with Californians re: infrastructure and defense, that I am separated from them by such a great distance, live in a completely geographically distinct area, and my social values and economic interests are not going to be the same as theirs. That's why we have states, and that's why the federal government was originally intended to do the bare minimum that would be seen to be in the common interest despite such differences. That attitude is also the only reason that I don't dump tonnes of money into races in other states and try and oust politicians in places I can't vote for, regardless of how I feel about them. I don't begrudge the people in other states their representatives, and as I would hope they would not begrudge me mine.
But, I'm also probably not the typical American voter, in that I voted for both my Democratic Senators and my Republican Representative because they were actually the more qualified than their opponent. I voted for Obama mostly as a strategic move to keep Sarah Palin's illiterate ass as far away from the White House, or the Naval Observatory, as possible. Never really liked McCain anyway.
Well, Afghanistan isn't Iraq. The September 11 attacks were planned there by Al Qaeda, which was being harbored by the Taliban. The Taliban were able to take root in Afghanistan by filling a power vacuum that was allowed to form largely as a result of the US failing to continue to support Afghanistan and rebuild it after providing aid against the Soviets, who had toppled a democratic-ish government via proxy parties and finally a military invasion.
We should have stuck around and helped them out in the 80s, but we didn't. Now we sort of have to, because we owe them that much. However, Taliban and Al Qaeda forces are still there and are still causing problems, which means we still have to fight because they make it extremely difficult for the average Afghan to just live in peace.
Just because the politicians keeps screwing up there doesn't mean we're there for the wrong reasons. Iraq was totally a war of choice. That's not so much the case here. We didn't do the right thing when we should have, which means now we have to do what we can with what we have now. Sure, it would be better that it were not necessary, but take that up with Carter and Reagan.
If all the employees owned the company, then it'd be a cooperative and exist solely for their own benefit. And who's to say that Google employees wouldn't turn out to be just as evil without the direction from outside shareholders? Likely, they'd also turn out to be a bunch of greedy meatbags.
What else call the decision to deliberately deceive your fellow citizens into voting for an unworthy candidate or cause, for your own personal gain, if it not treason?
That's called politics. Also, please note that I'm not necessarily for the war, I'm just against Wikileaks. The difference is subtle yet profound.
There is a difference between dying with a gun in your hand, facing down an enemy and fighting back and dying unarmed. Although, word on the street is there's no such thing as an unarmed man in Afghanistan and there never was.
Because he basically received stolen property from a guy who should be tried for treason. He then put it up for all the world to see in the form he received it in. The fact that names weren't redacted prior to him receiving the documents is immaterial because he never should have had them in the first place.
This isn't evidence of illegal dumping or insider trading. People are going to die because of this.

z0mg they zero-day bricked their Jaguar!
From your graphs, I can infer that there are apparently a lot of Norwegian-speaking people coding Python in Bangalore, India?
I knew I shouldn't have eaten the seeds to give myself an edge in all those watermelon eating contests :(
Additionally, as you can see, our President wants to KILL SMURFS!

Who watches the watchmen? Seriously.
I watched that movie... that giant blue guy made me somewhat uncomfortable though. Glad the IMax was sold out.

The ones in another city or state... which is apparently less of a hassle than leaving the US entirely.
I'm pretty sure most iphone users are getting plenty of same-sex partners, don't you worry.

Well, I like to think they know me well enough, but who knows... people are kind of stupid when it comes to that sort of thing.

There's an industry of making people go missing in Colombia... I hear its fairly profitable.
Yeah, and neither to private insurance companies, retailers, etc. Face it -- everyone is going to exploit whatever power they can when ever they can for as long as they can and only children believe otherwise. Some people are just way better at it than others.

1. Will some of the big holders get bitchy and want Google to start whoring they're data.
So long as that's all they're doing we're fine. Hell, even if they start whoring their data, that's ok. Just not our data. That would be too far.
