A clarification, you can't install mspy unless you jailbreak your iPhone. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese jail breaking packages come with mspy pre-configured... Also, no jailbreak exists for iOS 8.3, the current version.
I guess I should have read the indictment beforehand. Apparently they also hacked into Photobucket themselves and sold the access or photos to others. That's very different.
So Chinese college students are reading Obama's unclassified emails and these guys are busted for hacking ebay photos.:-D
No, they were busted for selling software that let others hack eBay photos. I'm not sure how this is any different than the guy who created the website that helps you break into Master padlocks. Both have legitimate uses as well as nefarious ones.
This. Pretty much every prescription the doctor writes effectively goes straight to the drug reps. If you stop prescribing, they'll know, and come in and bribe^H^H^H^Hinquire as to why you stopped prescribing their drug.
Exactly this. I've been present while a drug rep was discussing with the pharmacist how much of each of his company's drugs local doctors have been prescribing.
A HFT trader uses his knowledge of market conditions (ie: Royal Bank of Canada just placed a major buy order for GM that will jack up the price) to profit. He doesn't try to change the price of anything, he just uses his superior knowledge of what the price is going to do to make a buck.
So how is that not considered insider trading? Or is the GM buy order public knowledge but most people don't have the ability to take advantage of it during the millisecond window?
So, wait, you seriously think there are people out there who would voluntarily choose to sleep outside, often without any protection from the elements?
Perhaps better than the IPR mechanism would be an appeals process by which anyone can make an 'obviousness' challenge to any patent approved by the rank and file PTO staff to a higher-level and more technical board that must review the patent before it's actually enforceable.
As soon as you create this process someone will build a system that automatically submits an appeal for every patent issued and we end up worse off than before.
Point them at the Scratch website and then tell them to never look at it again because it's naughty. Just kidding about the second part, but Scratch is a good way to get them started.
As a slashdot reader I would like to filter stories by submitter so that I can save myself the pain of seeing articles from Dice shills and other self promoters.
somebody else can do it - somebody who isn't trying to make a product that will last. Startup type people who will bang something out and then, if it proves successful, rewrite it in boring technologies anyway.
Startup types will use whatever technology lets them shortcut their way to being first to market. Once it's up and running they move on to the next startup and leave it to the new owners to figure out how to implement it using a boring technology that will actually scale and be a viable business.
Oh, horseshit... what's the waiting list for a Harley Davidson?
Uh, none? Maybe you're thinking of HD from 2003 or so. These days their showrooms are full of bikes with some still left over from last year. Want a particular model/color? There's usually 3 dealerships within 50 miles that have it in stock and will discount from MSRP to sell it to you.
In the meantime, you can always delete the trust yourself. Open your Browsers Certificate List ("Options, Advanced, Certificates, View Certificates" in Firefox), find CNNIC's certs (there are two in Firefox - "CNNIC ROOT" and "China Internet Network Information Center EV Certificates Root") and either delete them altogether or edit the trust and remove the ability to sign websites.
What happens the next time there's an update to firefox?
I'm pretty sure the plume of molten copper of an RPG couldn't give a crap about a shockwave.
Actually I believe it does. Thats the whole principle behind reactive armor. My understanding is that the detonation of the armor produces a counter shockwave that disrupts the precisely shaped detonation of the warhead and the plume ends up splashing rather than boring through.
Absolutely. Contactless is pointless and expensive as fuck for merchants. I can't imagine many businesses where the "neat-o" factor from a few phone enthusiasts to be able to pay with their phones is going to outweigh the costs.
You do realize that newer EMV cards support contactless payments as well, right? No phone needed. You get the convenience of "tap and go" with the added security that EMV provides.
I like the looks of Apple Pay, and think it's a great move forward but even as an Apple fan, it seems bizarre for Apple to move forward on their own payment standard rather than the industry creating one. I mean, I know they did it so that they could skim profits off the top, and that they got away with it because they're worth 700 gazillion dollars and could probably make demands of the ocean, but I really wish this had come about via an industry standard.
You don't get to be first to market by waiting for an industry standard. In fact, if you wait for that to happen you probably won't even get into the market. You build it out as fast as you can using as much existing infrastructure as you can, then pivot if and when the industry gets around to creating a standard. In the meantime you build a leading market share and can even leverage that during the standards creation process.
For those who still want to believe that there's a long-term future in coding... how DO you plan to compete with people who have no debt from education and will qualify for massive job subsidies?
But so I ask, how is this different than online backup service providers like Mozy and CrashPlan that allow client-side encryption and end-to-end encryption??!?!? Or even Amazon S3 for that matter?!
Or taken alternately we can hypothesize that these service providers are different in some way. This would lead us to wonder what is different about these providers that causes the government to leave them alone? That's where things start getting interesting.

I think it is strange that someone is vacationing with their spouse now.
His mistress must have had a previous engagement.

Do you trust Forbes?
Not at all, but I get your point. OTOH why are you letting every Tom, Dick and Forbes run code, "sandbox"ed or not, on your computer?

It would look around half as bright as a regular light of the same size though
I know some people like that.

Isn't that just called camping?

While Boeing may been granted the patent, it's unclear how long it will be before the company deploys the real-life force fields.
This makes me think that this is just a patent application.
I'm pretty sure the plume of molten copper of an RPG couldn't give a crap about a shockwave.
Actually I believe it does. Thats the whole principle behind reactive armor. My understanding is that the detonation of the armor produces a counter shockwave that disrupts the precisely shaped detonation of the warhead and the plume ends up splashing rather than boring through.
Are you kidding me? The article features a link to a slashdot article that links to another slashdot article that links to a dice.com article? WTF?
Apple Pay is for stupid people.
I take it that you use Apple Pay daily then?
Absolutely. Contactless is pointless and expensive as fuck for merchants. I can't imagine many businesses where the "neat-o" factor from a few phone enthusiasts to be able to pay with their phones is going to outweigh the costs.
