It isn't Yahoo's job to change the political climate in China, no more than it is Googles. Change in China will occur once the people demand it and other nations (not companies) apply pressure and lend support.
How can you have political change when everyone that speaks out is jailed in order to silence them?
It just goes to show that when you have physical access to a computer, the security's already broken..
I suspect one could use some sort of phone tap or even a
laser microphone from outside the building, therefore not requiring physical access to the computer.

Symantec list Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows XP as operating systems affected. However, TFA says XP SP2 and 2003 Server are not, but the patch MS05-039 wasn't released until August 9th. Can we please have more contradictory information?
This simply reaffirms my belief in the running of multiple anti-spyware programs. If MS won't remove a certain piece of Spyware because of business/political reasons- adaware will get it- or Spybot will.
What's sad is that one must do this in order to avoid spyware/adware that might be paying off the very people that are supposed to be protecting us from it.
It will be interesting to see what effect this has on the P2P companies. Although the ruling doesn't necessarily make them fair game, I'd be will to be that it leaves the door open enough that I fear a lot of them will think that it isn't worth the risk anymore.
I don't think it really matters who pays the bill as the consumer will end up paying for it one way or another. Even if you charge the manufacturers or retailers, they will in turn pass this cost on to end customer.
They should care. If everyone was to reduce the amount of spam they are sending, then this will in turn reduce the amount of spam they are receiving and having to filter out. Creating less total spam and making each ISP's customers happier. These reports should also help in determining the zombies that they are currently serving and allow them to contact or 'pull the plug' on these customers.
I wonder how long brute forcing a key through distributed computing would really take.
Distributed.net actually has project running attempting to do this. So far they have brute forced keys up to 64bits in length. However breaking 64bit key took 1757 days, and at there current pace it could take over 900 years to break the 72bit key. So the bottom line is that if this guy is using a key of any size it's not going to be possible.

Apple gets part of the sale for apps sold on iTunes. This guy got $5,600 and Apple got $2,400 of the $8,000 for the 8 sales.

I tried the same test on my 2Ghz P4 Northwood with 768MB RAM. It took 1min 34sec to calculate pi to 1 million digits.

Apparently it takes fewer shots to /. their server than it does to kill a Zombie.

No, that'd be the Death Star.

"will the ISP's sending most of the spam care?"
They should care. If everyone was to reduce the amount of spam they are sending, then this will in turn reduce the amount of spam they are receiving and having to filter out.

They're desktop mice. Unlike back when I was a kid and the mouse would take up a whole room!

Restore from backup and hope they catch the jerk.
Yes Firefox 1.0.4 was released in order to address it.
Even if it were possible, most people want to use there current handsets and not have to purchase new hardware.
Car Dealer: "Yes we are having a problem with all of our cars freezing up and crashing"
Tech Support: "Reboot the cars and that should fix it."
Car Dealer: "We have rebooted and it's still happening"
Tech Support: "Reboot again"
Car Dealer: "We have and it's not helping!"
Tech Support: "There is nothing wrong with the cars, but Service Pack 2 should address the issue when it's released. Thank you and have a nice day."
