On the plus side, I think you've just come up with the video game plot line that will trigger the singularity, or the apocalypse. What happens when they all reach Earth at the same time?
Apparently the Terminator Salvation PS3 game shipped with a worm that has run amok on PSN, activated sometime late yesterday. "Down for Maintenance" indeed.
Either you are confused or just being confusing. The "same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program" are talking about code in a resulting binary. If you use bits of GPL code in another binary you must release the entire code for that binary. In this case the binary is the Linux kernel not Android and thus the only code that needs to be shared is the Linux kernel. Any modifications to the Linux kernel as released with Android must be shared, and they have been.
Therefore it is closed, just like Windows is closed. It's not the verb that they took an open product and closed it, rather the adjective that it is not open.
They've released the source for the bits they borrowed from other projects and for many of their own in-house projects, just as Android has usually done.
Apple didn't "copy" the Xerox work, they licensed it. Xerox didn't want it. "You expect us to sell a thing called a mouse?"
They had some reason to pull people to court. While people were working in DOS, the Mac had this mouse thing and a real GUI. When others started popping up it wasn't exactly rocket surgery to figure out where the idea came from.
With the intent that they be used in an office product, not to create a competing operating system. Apple got hosed by signing a bad contract.
Apple had a better case when QuickTime code made its way into Windows Media Player. Around that time Microsoft "bailed them out" and Apple didn't bring up a case.
Ubuntu wants to provide a great DESKTOP user experience. This means they got to follow the edge of Linux development because Linux by itself is not all that user friendly. Just try to do a CentOS install, text mode only, at the end you select the base packages, make a wrong choice, you can do it all over again as it hangs.
Your example does not support what you said. The CentOS text installer may be broken, but Ubuntu's is not better because it is "following the (some?) edge." Ubuntu's text install is the same as Debian has used for years without problems. Aside from installation, Desktop usability does not mean or need bleeding edge packages. Sure, a web browser may be worth keeping 100% release version, but most tools are not any more user friendly just because the version number was incremented, and if they added new features there's more of a chance something is broken (just like Ubuntu as a whole tends to do). Much of Ubuntu's user friendly-ness just comes from a good default package selection and configuration, and theming.
Suse and Mandriva tried to be more userfriendly but failed to do it as well as Ubuntu does because they still cared about stability more then pushing out the latest.
I would say they failed because they don't have the marketing or "You're involved, too!" attitude that Ubuntu does. Ubuntu is good at building devotion, they created things like the LoCo Teams to evangelize and even today mail out free CDs. As I mentioned before, latest does not mean anything to most people, and the majority of desktop users want stability so they can use their computers for other things. I have found that OpenSUSE in particular has superior hardware detection to any other distro I've used. It's the only distro I've seen that will configure my TrackPoint middle scroll out of the box, and enable my fingerprint reader without pain. It's also, for some reason, the only mainstream distro that supports my hardware volume keys. My point is not trying for bleeding edge allows some more polish, and I think polish creates an overall better desktop experience (though I am not using OpenSUSE now). Stability does not have to sacrifice up to date, but there are some times a new feature should be kept back a release or two while the bugs are hammered out.
There is no excuse for releasing known broken software to meet a deadline, even more so in a distro that calls itself user-friendly.
That was Spyro: Year of the Dragon for the Playstation. They did a lot of sneaky stuff to make pirated copies not fun, but randomly, so you would think it worked fine until it triggered somewhere else.
This issue is just the host_id, which is different on every machine. Removing the machine from the list of devices on Dropbox's website will revoke access with that host_id, without affecting other machines. The password is completely separate and apparently only used for generating/retrieving a host_id.

That guy just reminded me why I hate pretty much anybody involved in marketing.
That would help if they were storing hashed passwords (protect from brute force and whatnot). That's the point of pwdhash.
In this case it wouldn't help at all. If the server is storing plain text and the plain text is the hash you sent in, then they don't need to know what the original text password was because that isn't your actual password.
SSD was created to compete with MemoryStick, Sony had 'em first. It just happens that SD is everywhere because it's a standard rather than a Sony product.
MMC is unrelated, SD is the "new generation" of MMC.
I don't need to upgrade my console every few months to a year to play the latest games. That's the reason I got out of PC gaming, it was just too expensive. And sure, I might be able to play some new PC game on low settings without upgrading, but on the console I can have pretty good settings if not the same quality as the PC.

The Alliance and Reapers are central to the Mass Effect story. I can only assume he confused Reapers and Reavers, not too hard to imagine.

Password for what? Unless you've memorized the 2,048 bit key, they've got nothing.

You can read about it here.
Note that since it was a console game there was a very low chance of false positives compared to a PC release.
You're right. The book was only 24fps, why does Peter Jackson think he can change it and make it better?
Their HTML is quite easy to read. What malware exactly did it try to load? Sure your AV wasn't just telling you it's a site for cracks?
I have seen AV that alerted on cracks as "potentially unwanted" software.
If you hack the ATV's Netflix DRM and post it all over the internet, they probably would pull the feature. I couldn't blame them.
