An argument can be made either way. If you use any kind of electronic commerce, it is less secure than being at a bank in person. I don't think a bank will hold you responsible for a hardware keylogger on the back of the computer you're working on etc.
But I am thinking more along the lines of giving passwords out in phishing e-mails, writing your passwords down, putting your pin in permanent marker on the back of the card.
As for Windows? I doubt it.
I would assume that it would be to index the collective sum of information, even as it is growing. It's probably a lot quicker to index something than it is to generate it. With probable future advances in computing power and the development of new algorithms, it should be entirely possible that the speed of indexing (which already probably surpasses the speed of information production) would catch up to all the data that still hasn't been indexed.
Think of it in terms of taking a ratio comparison of two infinite series.
What exactly does the terms of service of blog publications entail? I can't really get the site to work so someone will have to explain all of it.
Does google have a right to do something like this. I mean google news is legal in that it only posts the newest excerpts, would this service follow the same principle, posting only the newest enteries and referring users to the blogs when they wish to see the archive?
I agree.
If you view it as an engineering problem, the entire song is layer upon layer of instruments and synthesized beats built on top of one another. To make all the components fit together, would of course be complex. The article refers to the main fact that the music itself, the bass lines, etc. are very complex, not the fact that the lyrics are compelx.
On a side note, wouldn't something like this be much easier to analyze with a computer, something akin to Wolfram's Ringtone engine, except in reverse?
The penalty for piracy in China mainly applies to those who mass produce the thousands of cheap DVDs you buy on the street corner.
The vendors and their customers are not prosecuted. Come to think of it, in most cases, the pirates (those who steal 35 mm film/ dvd screeners etc and make them by the millions) don't get punished either... usually it's a fine, and some equipment confiscated.
Of course it's a good thing, the massive wave of worms starting with Code Red and going on through Sasser publicized a massive series of vulnerabilities in Microsoft software.
Companies realized that information security could actually affect their business models, and as such should take measures to plan their security instead of making it an afterthought. Microsoft realized that they actually needed to make security one of the central issues of their operating system, and started taking steps to address it.
I agree that he should face some sort of punishment and not get a job at a security firm, but some things just don't happen. In other words, if wishes were fishes, the ocean would be full.
I ask you if my door lock can be opened with a credit card (or in this case if my network can be hacked by a script kiddie), should the manufacturer of the lock get off scott free?
Indeed, most of the blocked sites are sites advocating either direct immediate democratic reform (possibly amnesty too) , calls for the people to rise up and overthrow the government, and sites of the religous organization falun gong. Oh and the occasional taiwanese independence site. They care little about minor technology sites such as slashdot where the extent of the criticism is linking to other news articles that might already be blocked.
yea.... i didn't remember if there was an ice sheet.
if i remember correctly, titan's surface was some kinda permafrosted swamp mush of methane or something, at least where huygens landed.

What we mean to say is that on planets that have any kind of atmosphere, there will be some kind of fluid present. If you look at a phase diagram (crack out your old chem books), you'll realize that liquids can only exist at certain temperatures and pressures before becoming either solid or gas. As the majority of space is rather cold and the pressure is rather low, this tends to favor the formation of solids and gases.
As for your venus question, I would venture to imagine that lava, as a higly viscous fluid would remain liquid at a relatively low pressure. The other mention is that the surface of venus is basically a massive cooking oven from all of the cloud cover of various Sulfur oxides, which would provide both sufficient temperature (from the greenhouse effect) as well as indicate a high amount of atmospheric pressure.
What's significant about this was that it was initially hypothesized that since titan had a considerable atmosphere of methane and other hydrocarbons, that the surface of Titan was possibly covered in either a massive liquid methane ocean or a methane ice sheet. However once the Huygens probe landed, that hypothesis was disproved (the one about liquid methane on the surface).
With what looks like a lakebed (even if it's dry) on the surface of Titan, this provides evidence that there once was/still is some liquid which eroded the landscape, which confirms that Titan's atmosphere may be more substantial than other planet's and that it may be more like earth.
I noticed this in conjunction with the giving away of CNN video last week. Is this another death knell in the paid content arena? The thing I am beginning to notice is that the apparently we, internet users as a group, are against the idea of paying web based subscriptions. However, we are willing to pay money to get better services or to actually "own" a product. Case in point for google, the ability to use NMEA GPS to feed directly into google earth is worth an extra twenty dollars. And I do believe that iTunes is wildly more popular than napster for this very reason. If this trend continues to hold, should yahoo start offering us those music downloads for free, albeit at a lower quality? (Since they already stream music for free from launch).
By the way is there any mention of any ads within the software, or is google just giving this out for free now?
I would think that you would have a bit more of a problem with banking/turns, and possible elevation changes. But i guess they'll get around that by specially designed the track.
Aero braking can be combined with mechanical braking, which should produce a decent deceleration rate. But that still leaves the problems of derailments.
It could also be yet another medium for ATT to tout it's new "security initiatives" and advertise services given by ATT for ATT customers and all.
Even if they do make the service free, how many people will actually bother watching it. Personally I think my BugTraq list is good enough.
Though it would be entertaining to see a giant breaking news screen of a new worm otubreak with an infographic as each country gets progressively hit, live over video.
The pentagon already had all such information from your schools, it's just centralizing it now. If i remember correctly, your standardized test scores (SATs etc) could also be sent to the department of defense and other interested colleges. (unless you specifically forbid ETS from sending out your score range)
Now i'm pretty sure that 16 year olds are taking the SAT, and I'm pretty sure that very few of them check the box to make their scores private.
I don't think this is exactly newsworthy.
Gaming Company [B]....
either it's top 500 being lazy and refusing to translate or it's similar to the
Government, United States possessing at least 3 computers (that is 3 unnamed government entities).
Speaking of which, have you found gaming company A?
So the poor investors in this project are basically screwed?
The solar sail could've worked perfectly... but it's the russian booster that failed (3 times for their own solar sail projects) Anyone else see a track record here?
perhaps it would've been better to subcontract the launch out to someone else?

I am disturbed by the fact that I actually understood that sentence.... too much time with suits.

Since sony seems to be showing up very often these days, shouldn't they get their very own icon?
Something along the lines of MS-BORG would be a lot more interesting than a simple SONY graphic.
Imagine fitting the WinXP source on a flash drive, assuming you could get the entirety of it from one location.
So your TLA employer goes through all of this but still lets you visit /.
What's to stop you from uploading all the info that you would've taken out via a camera on a blog?

Think of it in terms of taking a ratio comparison of two infinite series.
So it's not really depriving anyone of anything especially ad revenue, since RSS/Atom feeds of blogs are basically legal already? Right?
Where are you getting all of this info... I'm not seeing any of this.

Give Amazon every patent you ever owned....
or if you never actually owned a patent, send Jeff a list of obvious ideas that he should patent.
Someone explain why the water in the picture looks red/brown?
I for one am slightly disturbed at this, is this normal for an undersea eruption?
